Weekend round up

Things I learned this weekend.

-An 11-month-old seems a lot more active than a 10-month-old. Kiptyn gets into everything! He gets into our drawers and pulls out our clothes after I just put them away, he gets into the pantry and pulls out the food, pulls out the pots and pans, pulls out my cook books; there's nothing this kid won't get into. I'm one of those mom's too who doesn't really mind though as sometimes he can be pretty clingy so 15 to 20 minutes of peace and quiet while he's making a mess of things is A-OK with me.

-Women's soccer is a heck of a lot more interesting than men's soccer. For one, they don't fall down every time someone comes near them and pretend to have a seizure; and they actually kick the ball to their teammate instead of being a ball hog. While the USA ended up losing, I still enjoyed watching bits and pieces of the game while I was suppose to be working ;).

-I want to be a happy runner. I was up early this morning taking Kiptyn and Wesley on a walk; and even though it was blasting hot out at 7 a.m., the two individuals I saw running said good morning with a smile on their face. It makes me wonder if Corrie is a happy runner. I know I'm not so I'm going to work on that!

-Wabble.org is my favorite website when I end up working long, 10-hour days. Someone should join me for a game! Email me!

I'm whipped!!

This is what I wake up to every morning. How blessed am I?

Best. Investment. Ever!

As a new mom, I have to say I probably don't have much advice. However, I will say that one of the best investments I have made to date for my son is his ibert. We just got back from an amazing bike ride together as a family (it was either go on a bike ride with my family or work out on my elliptical all by myself; I will always choose my family). Kiptyn loves it, I love it, Randy loves it, and it's just a terrific and fun thing to do on a beautiful summer night. It's safer than the seats that attach to the back of your bike as well as the trailers that you pull. I just have not one negative thing to say about it. So do yourself and your family a favor, go buy an ibert and go get some exercise ;)!
