A Day in a Toddler's Life

When it is raining, or snowing in yesterday's case, its hard for a toddler to stay inside when he lives to be outside. So after a lengthy talk about why we can't go outside and after the tantrum, he finds things to keep him occupied. Here are a few pictures to tell the story.

First he opens the silverware drawer and pulls out all of the spoons and knives, never the forks, and lines them up ever so neatly.
Having plumbers disease after running around so much...and having his hand down the back side of the diaper.

Opening the "can closet"as Clay would call it. Pulling all the cans off the 2 shelves he can reach. There are many cans with out labels and all of them have major damage from falling on other cans.
Smiling for the camera after his nap.

Finding the net bag that has all types of balls in it. Than afterwards playing in the net. Finally after a warm relaxing, if you call splashing Mommy playing with toys relaxing, bath than laying by Daddy until he falls asleep in his arms.

There is a day in a Toddlers life

I'm So Flattered

Last night Spencer and I were watching Chuck, a favorite of ours, and Clay was sitting in his chair at the table eat some oh so yummy chocolate chip ice cream. He usually doesn't bother to pay attention to the TV especially when he's eating. We were about half way through and Clay started to call me which usually means he's done. I looked over and he was looking at the TV pointing and saying "its Mommy", "its Mommy". I looked back at the TV and notice that Elle, Chuck's sister, was talking to a man and he was point at her.

Clay thought I was Elle? Yeah right! Than Spencer said that I did kind of looked like her. Oh, I was so flattered that my own child thought I was Elle, Sarah Lancaster. I think she is so pretty, not trying to compared myself to her though, I am a little more chubby and not as tan, but still.

For all those who watch Chuck knows what she looks like, but for those who don't, here are some comparison photos.

Viva Las Vegas

So Spencer had a conference for his work in Las Vegas so naturally I wanted to tag along. On Monday we dropped off Clay at Grammy's and Grandpa's house than flew out on Tuesday morning. I was pretty excited to get rejuvenated and relax by the pool. Spencer had meetings all day on Wednesday and Thursday so I would only have to be alone during the day....so I thought. Once we checked into the MGM Grand, he received his schedule and saw that he had meetings on Tuesday, so we weren't able to hang out together. Than on Wednesday and Thursdays he had meeting from 7am to 10:30pm. Talk about an intense conference. So it wasn't what I thought, that we could hang out in the evenings.

It wasn't that bad though, I went to the Bodies Exhibition, which was amazing to see. I loved all of it. Our bodies are amazing. I sat by the pool and read my book, I watched movies and of course took some naps.

Friday we met up with Spencer's parents who drove up from California. We had a lot of fun with them. It's always good to see family like this. We went to see Robin Hood and Iron Man 2, both really good movies. We ate at a fancy Chinese restaurant, a pizza place that was awarded the best pizza in Las Vegas in March. On Saturday we went and did a session at the temple, which is always a wonderful experience. It is so wonderful that we can go to a place that give so much peace and comfort and how you can leave this chaotic world at the doors.

It was sad to leave Mike and Cherie but boy was I ready to see y little man. Its amazing how you leave to have some time alone from your kids but on the first day you miss them so much. I have not been away from The Clays that long before and I was ready to see him.

It was a nice vacation....I'm ready for another one.
