Update without pics

I know - it's no fun, but it's all I have time for. I have been waiting for weeks to be able to put this background up!!! Does this mean I can buy the candy pumpkins? or candy corn? Please, Doug? I don't even care if I eat it, I just want it on my table. Weston wants to be Dash for Halloween and it makes me feel good every time I say to Weston that I'm going running, he replies, "Fast like Dash?" Yes, you smart boy, I am as fast as Dash :)

Other cute things West says lately: "I do!" It just means yes really, but I think it's funny. Also we went up and had a picnic at Brighton last week and we had just watched the movie Brother Bear, which takes place in Canada. West is sitting on Doug's shoulders and says, "Where's the bears, eh?"

Also hilarious: When Doug took him to the grocery store and West really freaked him out by counting. Doug knew he could count to ten, but then he kept going and counted to 20. Doug comes home, "Where did he learn to count to 20?! He all the sudden just kept counting, 'eleben, twelb, thirteen, porteen, pipteen...'" My little boy genius. I just thought I need to keep documenting all the funny things he says so I can remember forever...

Not hilarious: Doug taking Mooja and West outside and Mooja lifting his leg and peeing on Weston's legs. The look on West's face: I really don't think I liked that.

We're still kickin'

Hellooooo - I know I am world's worst blogger. We are in the middle of switching computers and I am finishing med transcription certification still. But we're still alive and kicking....with these new kicks that we got for Weston yesterday. He's not a baby anymore (sniff). He looks so grown up in them!










We are still unemployed all 3 of us, Weston informed me yesterday. Last night, he sat on my lap and said, "I'm going potty." This was just after I changed his diaper and I looked down and he had gone pee in his diaper. I said, "Now, I know you know how to go potty. You just need to go potty IN the potty so we can stop buying diapers. It will save us a lot of money. Because Daddy doesn't have a job and mommy doesn't have a job." He chimed in, "And Wennon no job." Wennon or Weddon is how he says his own name. He knows whats up, just doesn't care because he is happy we are all home together! Well as soon I am certified within the next few months - fingers crossed - you'll hear more from us! Here is a recent pic Carol, my mother-in-law took when we went to Disneyland (and had the time of our lives!) last month.










Also, in other great news - West had his first immunizations since he was 2 months. We have a lot of catching up ahead still and with still the possibility of a stent or a shunt to help redirect the blood flow sometime this year - we hope since we already have hit our max out of pocket for the year. He has a cold right now and so I am trying to pump him full of juice. We were both sitting outside drinking Capri Suns. I said, "Hey! You drank all my Capri Sun!" He replied, "It's okay, Mommy, because I'm sick." Smarty pants - we love him.

P.S. The Juicy Lucys were the best homemade burger I have ever had. Don't worry we didn't eat all day until we had dinner :)
