U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name (Full Version - Live)

I showed this video to Ian and now he asks for "drums" and "Bono"! Oh what a good boy!

How strange that his "classic rock" will be U2. And to think one day I will tell him the story of how I heard the announcement about this and was just about a 40 minute drive away...oh how I wish I'd gone!

2 Years Ago Today

This seems like so long ago...how did he turn into a little boy so quickly?

I'm Obsessed!

Ok...this is supposed to be Ian's blog with lots of fun and cute stories and pictures of his life. But his mother is obsessed. All I do lately is cruise the internet for ideas...looking looking looking for inspiration so I can just do more of this...and this...

and this...

And digging out older pictures...this

My poor child...and husband...and neglected dirty house...

No photos...

I haven't picked my camera up in two weeks...unbelievable! (well I did pick it up to vacuum under the bag today but that hardly counts)

Just a few things from the last 2 weeks that need to be remembered though!

Shea went to get Ian out of bed one morning and I heard from his room, "I found you Daddy."

Sometime in the last two weeks Ian has discovered both the words I and you...and is using them correctly! Amazing!

Without prodding he looked at me and said "thank you momma"

Everytime he gets a little frustrated or mad lately he throws whatever he has in his hands down and says (so innocently) "I dropped it" ....right

This morning (Saturday) he looked at us and said "School!" When we told him he wasn't going to go to school today he sat on the ground and cried. Of course yesterday when we took him to "school" he sat on the ground and cried!

Ahhh 2

Room Service and Cable

So I should be completely enjoying myself. A plane trip by myself. A hotel room with free wifi and cable. Room Service.

Funny how I miss Ian and Shea when I so often need a break when I'm around them!

Maybe it's the fact that I'm in San Bernardino and that my veggie burger was served on a hot dog bun and tv means nothing since I've not had one in my house in 5 years....

But I think I just miss them! Glad I'm going home tomorrow!

Off to find the Discovery Channel...maybe Deadliest Catch is on! (thanks Mom for showing me that!)

Christmas Thoughts

It has been a crazy couple of weeks filled with....sleep! 8 hours of sleep! Every night! For the last week! Unbelievable. I have so much energy I don't know what to do with it.

Ian amazes me again! He is now almost 3 weeks bottle free and doesn't even ask for it anymore. Naps and bedtime are back to normal. And yes, the best gift is he's completely sleeping through the night...in his own bed! (in fact he's there right now!) You'd think my house would be clean and my laundry done!

Pacific Grove last weekend was excellent! It was a beautiful day to share with so many people. Shea and I completed our races (a little slowly) and then went to Big Kahuna 1/2 Ironman on Sunday to watch my brother. I'm so inspired by his talent and dedication even if he is a gassy smart aleck! I cried went he crossed the finish line (but he'd say I cry at everything!) Pictures to come...after I sort through 3ooo of them!

And then to Christmas...

All of this sleep has me planning!

So I'm working on lists so there will be no family complaints that I didn't do them! So watch for an ever changing post that I'll update with wants needs and pure fantasy!
