He sure ain't no Handy Manny

Sooo.....this afternoon I get home from work and find packing tape on several of the cabinet's in the kitchen. I asked Peter what was going on and he said that Orion keep pulling things out of the cabinets and that he was tired of picking up after him...lol Welcome to my day honey!!! I bought spring latches the other day just haven't had the chance to install them yet. Do you think that Peter could take the time to install them for me....nope! But his solution was cute.

I guess I might as well face it, my husband is not a Handy Manny! I still love you honey!!!

A Great Start to the Christmas Season

This afternoon Alaina treated us (Tricia, Brandi, Debbie, Bona and I) to The Nutcracker Ballet. It was the first time I had ever seen it or even been to a ballet. I enjoyed it so much!!! The costumes were gorgeous and the little kids were so cute. I have a whole new prospective on tights now that I have seen the guys on stage...LOL

Alaina and I are already talking about going to Annie in March and The Lion King In September.

Orion Update

Orion is 8 1/2 months old now. He weighs 22 lbs. 12 oz. and is 29 1/4 in. long. He is becoming quite the accomplished little boy. He says mama and dada. He is holding his bottle and feeding himself now. And on Wednesday he stood up all by himself with out the aid of anything! One minute he was on the floor playing with his toys and the next minute he was standing amongst his toys! He is eating just about everything Peter and I have for meals (even brussel sprouts). He learned that he can push doors open and closed. Also thanks to my wonderful SIL he has learned to shake his head no. He is is just Mr. Independent!

1st Halloween

I think I had decided what Orion was going to be for his first Halloween even before he was born. I know your probably thinking "what a crazy mom"! I don't blame you. For weeks we had worked on his roar and he would mimick you most of the time. Grandma Debbie made his costume. It is so adorable!!!

I even had the perfect plan of dressing up as Dorothy and Peter as the Scarecrow, but that didn't happen. Oh well, there is always next year!
