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!

Cold and Hot

Today Atascadero felt like Costa Rica...minus the beach. So we had to have some nake time. As you can see Wes is practicing sitting up! He can only do it for a few seconds if his hands are on the ground in front of him but I am still a proud mama. He is still smiling even though he has his first cold! No snot coming out here because I am pretty anal about wiping- he hates it. Hopefully he feels better for our trip to Colorado coming up this weekend. Can't wait to see you Anutie Karie May!

He can only roll one way then gets stuck here and gets really mad!

Before and After

We just started using Wes' high chair. It's a little big for him but as you can see meal time is messy business so its time for a place to do it. I wanted to give you a before and after pictures.

Yum we love avocado...but diaper duty is much different now- yuck!

Family time

I didn't have a chance to post these until now. They are pics from a few weekends ago when my family was here....Also he just turned 5 months last Wednesday and has started rolling (from back to front) and squeeling with delight in his jumping chair.
