Fres-yes

My youngest sister Kelley graduated from Fresno State last weekend and we were there...now that she's moving that may have been the last time I go to Fresno on purpose. This week she and Karie are in Italy to celebrate the occasion- must be nice! Actually the weather was perfect and the best part was hanging with the family. Wesley got to finally meet his great grandma Rose. She sang German lullabies and he tried to pull her teeth out- they were a cute pair!

101.8

Yesterday Wes had his first fever- I wasn't too worried until it reached 101.8! Called the Doc and they said not to worry until 103. Since he got his shots the day before I figured a little fever was normal but it really knocked him out. He literally would not let me put him down. So we sleeped together, ate together and rocked together and finally Daddy came home so Mom could get a break.

Alternating Tylenol and Motrin seem to help a little. Other than the fact I didn't get anything done it was a very peaceful day....me and my little boy snuggled all day long- I love my job.

My cousin Garrett (who's 12) made this video- its really fun and creative. Check it out.

Suba Ruba

So Dave has been driving around my old college truck (good ol "Slick" the Ford Ranger) and he thought it was a bit girly of a truck so has been searching for a replacement. Not an any big hurry or not even sure what he wanted but on the look out.

On our way out of Kmart yesterday we picked up a few Photo Traders and parused. This 2000 Green/Tan Subaru Outback caught our eye and since it was in Santa Margarita we decided to take a look. It is in great condition and was way cheaper than others we have seen. We couldn't resist. It will get us to Tahoe in the snow and have much better gas milage than any of the cars we have now. So bye bye Slick- hello Green Manly Machine.

At least my truck will stay in the family- my 16 year old cousin gets to drive it- oh yeah and she a girl...

Room addition

My friend and neighbor Emily painted these cute pictures to go in Wes' room. It had an ABC theme but needed some art work to complete the look. I didn't find anything I liked that was in my price range so I told her my idea and voila! It looks even better when you see it in person in his room, but isn't it great!?

Also a few cute baby pics because who could resist. (hope you don't hurt your neck looking at this picture because spent 30 mins trying to fix it and it didn't work- oh well!)

So many new things

So Wes is changing everyday but I feel like the last 2 weeks he is leaving the baby stage in the dust and running...well scooting to toddlerhood.

He can sit up all alone, roll both ways, get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth, and just today I felt a sharp numb on his lower gums, and guess what I found- (suspenseful huh) a little white tooth trying to break out!

It's amazing to watch him grow but I'm sure going to miss that gummy little smile.

The Mile High Party Week

Yes, we were in Denver, and we have some great pictures to show. It was a fun vacation that included hiking, skiing, great food, and of course a good times with the family, enjoy!
