My Crazy Funny Father-in-law

My father-in-law (Craigs Dad aka Crazy Deetz) is so funny!
Today Craig called his Dad to wish him a Happy 66th Birthday and when Craig asked him how he felt being 66 his dad said:

"If you go outside and find a tree that is 66 years old and look at the bark of that tree- that is how I feel and look."

Anniversary, Fathers Day & Babies Galore!

Well.... it has been a while since I have updated this blog-o-mine and alot has come to pass since the last posting.

Craig and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary by getting KC's first babysitter at someone elses house!!! I was really worried since he didn't do to well when we did a practice run and had dinner at their house (a friend and co-worker's house). It is a couple with whom Craig works with the dad, Jim, and I used to work with the wife, Kara. They have three kids (two are twins and were preemies) so I figured they knew what they were in for when they agreed to watch KC. During the practice run KC proceeded to cry at the top of his lungs for 3 hours!! Their kids were being loud, and Konrad was used to only being with me and Daddy, so he isn't used to a lot of noise. The good thing we got out of the whole thing was that KC slept through the night when we got home (9 hours actually). However, for our anniversary Konrad did wonderfully! We got him nice and tired (with a bath) and waited till we got to their house to feed him his bottle. He fell asleep pretty quickly for them and slept till we got home! Yeah!!! Craig and I went to a ward 50's dance (where only 5 couples showed up and hardly anyone danced, much to Craig's delight), and then went to dinner at Red Lobster! Craig bought me red roses and a naughty card (he picks out the best cards!!!). It was wonderful!

For Fathers Day our ward provided a pancake breakfast before church and Craig's gift was the gift of Gluttony! Since we have had to tighten the purse strings Craig has had to go without some of his favorite things........... so he got them for Fathers Day! He got 4 packages of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, 2 cases of IBC Root Beer, Reece's Ice Cream & Crunch topping, 2 Pizzas, Brownies & I made him his favorite dinner of spaghetti with lots of meat in the sauce. He enjoyed his day and announced that he would like Fathers Day to last all month!

Good News! Craig's side of the family is procreating like crazy! Tammi & Phil had her girl, Jeremy & Jess are prego with a girl, BJ & Brandi is going to have a girl & David & Bandi announced they are prego with twins! Good luck Mom & Dad Deetz! You get 6 new grand babies this year!!!

Horror of all Horrors!

My son is officially a boy! I know that sounds weird until I explain further. Today my baby took his first plunge as a little man (literally a plunge). He fell out of his swing. Actually, to be specific he managed to flip his swing so that he fell out of it. Luckily he was buckled in and so when he flipped the swing he was caught by his belt for a second so he only fell about 2" but then he came tumbling out (except for a caught leg). He is alright, he (and I) just got frightened for a few minutes, but no bumps or bruises (so far). I now feel he has inaugurated himself into the boy club with all the other "snake, snails and puppy dog tail" gang! His first fall!!! Between the genetic pool of his father and I (ok! More me than Craig), this will be the first of many minor catastrophies. Wahoo??

Yah!!!!!

KC slept through the night for the first time! My baby is growing up!Yah!!!

What is it about being a Mom?

How is it that you can get soooo sick of being around your Baby that you can't wait for Daddy to get home so that you can have a break; yet when Daddy does get home you cook dinner, clean up, do chores and can't seem to leave your Baby? I feel guilty for wanting to pawn him off on Daddy once he gets home, yet can't I seem to leave when Daddy gets home to take care of the Baby? Because I love my Baby and can't stand to leave him! It brings new meaning to the phrase "Can't live with him, can't live without him".
