For some reason i never think to go to the harbor, but every time i go i think i need to come here more often! I love it, it feels like your on vacation when your there. I took kyler the other day and he loved it to , i think we will make a habit of taking out walks there!

KYLER'S 9 MONTH UPDATE

I thought some of you back east and far away friends might like an update on the little man.  Today Kyler turned 9 months old! I can't believe how fast time is going by, he's doing so much and changing so much everyday! He's crawling all over the place and pulling him self up on anything he can. He is walking but only along the couch or an end table, he doesn't quite have the courage or strength yet to let go himself, but we are thinking it wont be to long until he does! Still no teeth! He is teething a lot lately so i am thinking they have to be popping up really soon (fingers crossed)! He is saying momma and dadda but i have to admit lately its mostly been dadda, allllll day long! He is eating just about everything now and he really loves momma's cooking, his favorite foods seem to mashed potatoes and chicken noodle soup (no broth tho, just the noodles and veggies). He is still not a big fan of tv, but he is good at having his independent time so this way momma gets some kind of a break! He loves going for walks in the stroller or the baby bijorn, so we are out doing that everyday. He loves playing with other kids so play groups are starting up this week for us! He loves reading books and looking at flash cards and his new favorite place is the beach! Yup just like his father! He LOVES the sand and he goes nuts crawling around all over the beach, i'll post some picture of that tomorrow but until than enjoy some shots of the little cutie from the past couple months!

^^ Playing with his flash cards ^^

^^ Looking threw his favorite book ^^

^^ Playing with his chicki ^^


^^ Posing for mom ^^

^^ Realxing?? What! This never happens. HAD to document the moment ^^


^^ Sitting in a field, looking kinda sad about it (he was ready for nap time!) ^^

And of course i will leave you with the many crazy faces and hair styles of kyler !




That's all i got for today ! I promise to start posting more frequently again, Just been very busy chasing after a little one all day !

JANUARY-A MONTH TO ORGANIZE

As much as i hate to see the holidays go, one of my favorite things is taking all the christmas decorations down and organizing the house. The First project to tackle was my bookshelf its the first thing you see when you walk in the door and well you will see it was a disaster ...

The Bookshelf be came an overflowing stack of piles!

Now its totally organized!

I put the rest of the books in my crates (still working on this area tho)

And added an end table with my current reads on it (next project decluttering that coat rack!)

There is much more pink going on than i would like to have in the living room but our house is tiny i have no where else to put the book shelf and clearly i like to read girly books! 

Well thats One project down, many more to go!

A SHORT DAY IN JULIAN

Yesterday My husband and I decided it would be fun to get out of the house and have a little adventure day like we use to every weekend when we were first married. So we decided to venture up to julian, a cute small town about an hour and a half away. If you live in the area im sure you have heard of julian apple pie, it's the best apple pie around! So we headed on up in hopes of seeing some snow, doing a little thrifting and eating some yummy apple pie. Well our day took a turn for the worse when a  kid stole my wallet right off my stroller! I turned for just a second to take a picture and out of the corner of my eye i saw two kids acting kinda shady and extremely close to me and the stroller. It happened rather quickly cause i looked and they quickly walked away, i didn't think much of it until a few minutes later when i went to grab my wallet to go into the store and it was missing! I had david stay with the stroller and search through it while i ran back to retrace my steps and make sure i didn't drop it. When i couldn't find it i told david about the kids near my stroller and showed him who they were, so he walked over to them and asked if they had seen a wallet they all said no and a few minutes later the younger kid ran into the museum and than came out and joined his family. Two seconds later davids phone rings and it was the museum saying a kid just turned in my wallet that he "found on the ground" of course all my money was missing, over 100 dollars =( So david approached the family again and told the dad that his son just turned in my wallet but all the money was missing, of course the kid denied it so there was nothing we could do about.
It's so sad that a kid so young would do this, he must have only been 10, and so disheartening that the father didn't really even care. It's very frustrating knowing who took your money and knowing they have it and you cant get it back! To top it all off it wasn't even my christmas money it was my sons that i was going to use towards his first birthday party. It's still bothering me but I'm trying to just give it to God and not dwell on it and be annoyed cause there is nothing i can do about it now. I am so thankful that he at least turned my wallet back in so i don't have to go through the hassle of getting a new license etc. and thankfully he didn't take any of my gift cards! It kinda put a damper on the day so we just decided to head on home. But i couldn't not stop at my favorite thrift/antique store on the way, so we stopped in and i picked up some goodies that brightened my day a little! If you are ever in the area you MUST go to wynola junction antiques & collectibles. It's huge and has so many treasures! Here's a few pictures from our short day in julian



This is the picture i was taking while my wallet was getting stolen, not even a good picture haha!
