Confession

Jason and I went on an early afternoon date today, and decided to rent a movie. We rented this one:

...and I liked it. Which isn't the confession.

The confession is this:

I'm watching it again since Andrew's asleep and Jason's at work. I liked it that much.

Yep, I may just be needing to watch the other Star Trek movies.

Pictures and Videos

I tried to upload this video a few days ago, but it wouldn't let me because it was a zipped file. I figured out how to fix the problem, and voila! Here it is:

Also, there are some pictures I've been meaning to post.

Since Jason and I are poor, Andrew's room has been quite... undecorated. All that was up was an American Flag that we got as a wedding gift, hanging above his changing table, and his name hanging above his crib. So, to be creative, I bought some construction paper and decorated his room!

I'm thinking about maybe doing shapes, like squares, circles, and stuff like that for behind his door. But we'll see. I'm impressed that I've been able to do as much as I have. I usually have no creative ideas whatsoever, but something had to be done in that room!

Also, Andrew has learned how to get into our kitchen drawers. When we first moved in, there were latches on them, but they annoyed me since we didn't have any kids, so I broke a couple of the ones on the drawers we used most so that I could get into them easier. Big mistake! Andrew gets into all the drawers now! This particular favorite of his has become a toy for him exclusively now, and you'll see why in the picture:

Bye bye rubber spatula! Fortunately we have two others, so it really wasn't that big of a loss.

Alright. I think that's it for now. I'll update when something exciting happens.

Happy 101

Susette tagged me to to Happy 101, so here goes:

10 things that make me happy:

1. When Jason comes home from something, Andrew crawls as fast as he can to the front door to greet him. It makes me happy every time.

2. Watching the snow fall. (And having the roads clear! That doesn't happen in Rexburg, though.)

3. Cooking/baking yummy food, especially with Jason or friends.

4. My family and their goofiness.

5. Watching movies that make me smile or laugh and end happily. I don't like bad endings.

6. The fact that someday Jason will be done with school and won't have to study or do homework anymore! But that's like... 4 1/2 years from now. At least.

7. Having a clean and organized house!

8. Hanging out with friends and doing anything.

9. Waking up in the morning and telling Jason about my wack dreams, and him telling me his.

10. Knowing that even though I have no idea what I'm doing - ever! - Heavenly Father does, and I can trust him.

So there ye be! It says to tag people, but I don't feel like it. If you want to do this, go for it.

High Five!

I posted this on Facebook already, but I forgot to put it on here! Andrew learned how to high five the other day, and I took a video:

He's actually better at doing it now than he was when I took the video.

Another fun thing he's been doing lately is that he loves to clap his hands when he's happy. It's funny because sometimes we'll clap, he'll hear it, and drop whatever he's doing or whatever he's playing with and smile and clap along. It's cute. :)

Alright. I think that's it for now. I just wanted to tell you.

How many?

I was just curious as to how many teeth Andrew had. There are 8 that you can easily see just by opening his mouth, but we found a molar in there about a month ago, and I was curious to see if any more had popped out.

Andrew has 11 teeth. I think it's about time we took him to a dentist!

Another fun thing: When Andrew and I play on the floor together, he often ends up sticking his toys in my mouth. I don't know why that's so much fun for him, but it is.

Another fun thing: I feel like he is getting so close to saying more words. He works his mouth a lot when he "talks", moving his lips and tongue every which way so it just sounds like he's jabbering. I think my problem is that I don't talk with him enough. We're usually pretty quiet around here. Well, Andrew isn't, but Jason and I are.

Another fun thing: I think he's going to be walking soon! He'll take a step or two every once in a while, but he'll figure it out soon, I think.

Gotta go.

Guess What!

No, I'm not pregnant.

But my older sister is! I'm going to be an aunt! Well, I'm already an aunt to all the neices and nephews on Jason's side, but this will be Andrew's first cousin on the Budge side of the family! I'm so excited!

And Katie, Jason's younger sister, now officially is dating this guy, Steven, her first boyfriend! Yay!

Plus, Andrew's birthday party is tonight. If I ever get the chance, I'll put pictures from it on here.

Just thought I'd share. :)

Andrew's Birthday Pictures

Alright, I finally have the time to put a couple pictures on here. Here are some Andrew birthday pictures! They were taken the day after his birthday, really, but here he is before the cake:

He was a pretty happy camper. Then we put the cake on the tray, and at first he was like, "What the heck is this?"

Then he decided to dig into the icing:

Then he discovered the cake (finally):

Oh, I took a picture of his hands squeezing the icing, and it reminded me of a picture I took of his hands the day he was born. Take a look at the difference a year can make:

Crazy.
