Us Against Them

Dustin came home with this winner tonight! Apparently at maverick it cost two dollars for a cup of ice cream but you can fill it as much as you want.

Apparently sleep talking runs in our family. Just last night Dustin was talking chemistry or something to me but was snoring literally seconds later. Well today Baylee napped on the couch and she started sleep talking! It sounded like she said catch me. Then I think she said something like I want to lay on (something). Must've been a cow or a giraffe because immediately after she woke up she wanted to see a cow. Then she started whining and crying and looking out the window because she wanted to see the giraffe. I had to google some pictures of giraffes just to appease her.

It's no secret that I have been struggling with accepting Dustin's new calling in the deacons' quorum. I hate myself for it too by the way. I've been praying a lot to be a better support to my husband. What make me most upset about me feeling this way is that the Lord called Dustin to this position so therefore me being mad about it is essentially me being mad and unaccepting of the Lord. I don't want to be like that. Anyway the reason I hate Wednesdays is because I don't get to see my husband much. It's his longest day of school, he's out the door before I'm out of bed and then home just long enough to eat dinner and change to go to mutual. Boo right? Luckily for me, I married a great man and when he goes way past at school (like today) he takes Baylee with him to the church (and camping a few weeks ago). That's helpful for my sanity. And a few weeks ago I decided to go visit my mom and hang out there for that Wednesday, so ...

I cleaned out the couches this morning and found a little bouncy ball in the cushions. I gave it to Baylee and she was so excited. She kept telling me, "You find a ball for me!" She wanted to play catch so I told her I would after I took something out to the garage. I had my hands full and asked Baylee to hold the door open for me. She did for a few seconds while I was out there then she told me she was going to close the door. Right after I hear the door close I can hear her running around in circles in the kitchen saying, "I'n so happy! You find a ball for me. I'n so happy!"

More like unspiky the duck. Baylee's first river trip aunt Kathy and uncle Ray bought her these adorable duck jammies and we all called her spiky the duck because of her awesome hair. Tate has much less hair so I shall call him unspiky the duck.

So I'm just now learning that I can't post videos from my little blogger app. Sad day. I took a video of Tate to show how sweet he is. It was boring anyway. He was laying in his crib, all wrapped up, staring up at his teddy bear mobile. He was wide awake and had been for the past 45 minutes and was past feeding time. No binky and no sounds. I got him up after and brought him to the living room to change his bum. He was so happy just laying on the floor though so I played with him for a few minutes before he ate. Here's his picture 20 minutes past feeding time. What an angel child!

As I was feeding Tate tonight, I noticed he wasn't really eating. I looked down to see that he was much too busy smiling! He hasn't mastered the whole smiling while eating thing yet.
