Looking for some action?

Yes, I'm posting twice today. So go check out the previous one. I just had to write this one down for future generations and to give all my girlfriends something to laugh hysterically about.

A few weeks ago I put the kids down for the night, left Adam home, and ran to Kent's Market to pick up a few items we needed. It had been one of THOSE days. You know the kind: wearing yoga pants, flip-flops, an over-sized t-shirt, no makeup and hair up in a bun. Yeah, I looked HOT!! (not) I'm standing in the check-out line with my few items and this guy behind me starts making conversation about my stuff. We continue talking and I mention how my husband & kids really like this or that. His eyes got really big and he says, "What? You're not wearing a ring! That's false advertising!"

I was floored! What!? Could this guy possibly be hitting on me? or maybe he's just drunk? Cause I know what I looked like at that moment.

I retorted that I wasn't doing false advertising, and he continuted to claim that I was sending the wrong message (to lonely guys like him, apparently). Well, I left the store, went home and told Adam about it. And even though he was likely to downplay the situation I can still proudly claim that a guy tried to pick me up when I looked like a scrub. That night I felt down-right AWESOME!

He's growing up

Brayden started walking about three weeks ago. It took him about two weeks to gain strength and confidence enough to stand up in the middle of a room without aid. And now he is off and running, literally. That boy doesn't have a slow bone in his body. He runs everywhere. But since he's still a little unstable he runs into EVERYTHING: walls, chairs, sisters, my arms. That's the best part, he runs into my arms and gives me loves. I love it!!! Heavenly Father designed this age of development to help parents propagate the species. After a year of caring for a near helpless baby and all the sleepless nights, they reach this stage of development where they are loving and sweet and everything they do makes you laugh and smile. So you decide, Let's have another one! No, I'm not having another one anytime soon. I'm smarter than wanting to have two kids in diapers.

Brayden also just broke his four top teeth at once. After four months of only having the two bottom ones he's finally going to be able to tear into his food in earnest. I'm sure he won't know what to do with himself. No more gumming for this little chap-o!

I'll post some video of him walking. He is a handsome guy! You need to get a close up of his eyelashes, I would die for those beauties!

Thought about time

I hear this country song on the radio that talks about time going by "faster than you think, don't blink." I ponder if I am using each day to the fullest. I am sure there is more I can do, but I have developed habits with those I care about that allow me to "blink" as often as needed. I tell Wendy and the kids each day that I love them. If it to all end tonight I would be content knowing that I have loved and lived well.
