Silly Little Boys

I knew that being a Mom was going to be fun. But I guess you really can't understand a situation until you are smack dab in the middle of it. I'm sure like most of the wonderful mothers I know, I spend most of my days laughing. There is definitely nothing even remotely boring about being a stay-at-home-Mom.

Last night the three of us were eating at Sizzler, when I got a small plate of various fruit to feed to Connor. Now he is one of those kids who loves sour things. He sucked his first lemon dry at 8 months old. So naturally, I got him a lemon. There was also watermelon, kiwi, pineapple, and a mandarin orange. His reactions were so funny, the couple at the next table thought we were crazy. After watching us bust up at his faces, Connor started faking a sour face as soon as the next bite was in his mouth. As if this wasn't funny enough, then his real reaction would come. I'm laughing even thinking about it. Now don't think we were just torturing him for our own enjoyment, he was having fun too.

I love being a Mom. There isn't anything I would change about my silly little boy. No matter how stubborn he is.

5 years

I can't believe it has been 5 years since Trav and I got married! Time seems to fly when your putting up with each other. jkn. I'm not sure what gifts you are supposed to give on your 5th anniversary, but I think we are each going to buy something we want and call it our gifts to each other. I know it really takes the fun out of gift giving, but at least I'll get the boots I want. Travis will be home from work late tonight, so not much planned for tonight. We are going to go up to Island Park for a few days this weekend to get away. Although Connor is coming with us. We have never left him overnight, and since we will stay up there for 3 days, we didn't think this was the best time to try leaving him overnight. It would cause more stress than it is worth. Thanks to all of our loved ones who remembered us today. We love you all.

All about us!

I figured I had better start off this blog with a "brief" explanation of what we are up to. We have been here in Pocatello, ID for the last 5 years. Hopefully that will be changing soon, whenever we move to Blackfoot. I get to stay at home with our little Connor, who is 18 months old (and quite the handful). I just finished another season of coaching 7th grade volleyball at Irving Middle School, and although we didn't win a match all season, I think it was a good experience. Travis works for Goodwin Excavating with his father and brother, Todd. They are based out of Blackfoot, but travel all over east Idaho. Trav is in Driggs today, but tomorrow, who knows. We have been working on fixing up the house, hopefully to move, but work has kept Trav quite busy, so things are at a bit of a stand still. Our days are never boring, and always filled with plenty "to-do's". Hopefully I can keep up with this and keep everyone posted on our future developments. We love you all, and hope all is well.

First of Many!

Hey everyone! I've been hearing for months that I needed to sit down and get our blog up and running. So, this may take me a while, but here we go.

Love, Rach
