ALL ABOUT DUSTIN

I talk about Michael a lot, but I'm just as crazy over my husband. We started dating in July of 2002. We got married in September of 2004, bought a house, put me through college, had and baby, and here we are. Dustin is a truck driver for Covan/Allied moving. I'm so proud of him. He started off just moving furniture around for other people, now he has his own semi and trailer and his own jobs with people working for him. He's also an usher for our church, Edgewood Baptist, and plays on the church softball team along with several of our closest friends and my little brother. He's a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, he loves to hunt, and he'd fish everyday of the week if he could. Most importantly...Dustin is a wonderful husband and the best father any little boy could ask for. So, even if I don't talk about him as much---I love my husband!!!

HE'S INTO EVERYTHING!!!

As you can probably tell, my life is nothing but my husband and my son. To me, these two guys are the most precious gift God has ever given me, so I intend to share them with everyone (at least stories about them). :) So here is my update on Little Mr. Michael...

In the last week, Michael has started crawling, pulling up in his crib (and whoever might be laying on the floor), saying "Ma-ma", sitting up completely by himself, and babbling a lot more. He started getting to his hands and knees and rocking around at about 5-5 1/2 months old, but his been babbling "Da-da" for quite a while. I expected all of this to come eventually, but not this fast. He seems like his grown up so much just this last week. Every time I blink he grows a little more---NO MORE BLINKING! :)

With all of this new found knowledge, Michael has started getting into everything. Later on it might become a problem, but right now I'm still so excited to see him playing with new things. He's finally started going to the nursery at church and loves playing with the other kids, he grabs my trinkets of the bottom shelf of the entertainment center, crinkles every piece of paper he can find, and splashes in the dog's water bowl. See for yourself...I have the evidence!

"I'd rather stand up!"
"Where's the sports page?"

"Water, anyone?"

"I'm BUSTED!"

BLOG QUESTIONS????

I've actually had my site up for quite a while, but I'm still figuring stuff out. For example...I was viewing my site the other day trying to see how my ROCK YOU slide show turned out (actually pretty good) :). After I checked everything, I let Michael bang around on my keyboard, (he loves the keyboard!). Of course all kinds of things popped up and I just kept "x-ing" out of them...then, all of my letters on my blog got smaller! WHAT!? Yes...all of the letter shrunk. Now this hasn't affected anything else on my computer, but I can't seem to fix my letters. Can anyone else tell that these letters are REALLY small? Maybe it's just me.

Father's Day on the Lake!

Photo Album

I would like to know how to add a photo album to my blog if that's possible. I wanted to check on some slideshow type albums from rockyou.com but I havn't been able to connect to their page because of an error. Anyone else know how I can do this? I don't like adding pictures straight to the post because they are never in the place that I want them and they take forever to upload.

Well untill I find a better way of doing this, here are a few new pictures...

He's trying so hard to figure out the crawling thing!

Michael loved the ice cream cone & would not give it back my Dad!

More Michael News!

The last two weeks have been so much fun with Michael. He is learning something new and getting stroner everyday. He gets to his hands and knees and rocks around, sometimes jumping like a frog-sometimes diving into his blanket face first! He loves to play with our Beagle, "Cowboy" and his God-Parents' Blue Healer, "Savannah". Savannah hardly notices he's there pinching her and pulling her hair almost out...Cowboy, however, can only take it for a little while. He eventually gets tired and walks away to take a much needed nap!


"BEFORE"
Monday we gave Michael his first "cookie", (a Gerber snack made for 6 + months we found at Krogers). He does really well for never feeding himself before, but he gets extremely dirty! After I seen him starting to get messy, I tried to take it away to clean him up a bit...that did NOT go well! It ws so funny I just gave him his cookie back and let him have at it. I'm still nervous about him bitting off a chunk and getting choked, so I eventually did have to take it back. :(
"AFTER"

CAMPER FOR SALE

I said that I would try to get some pictures of the camper, so here they are! I couldn't get a good picture of the side because of the way we had it parked, (Dustin wasn't home & I had no idea how to move it to a better "picture" spot!). We've dropped the price from $1000 to $600. We're really trying to get rid of it, so spread the word!!! :)
