Sweet nectar of life

Ambrosia of the gods...camera gods that is. What am I talking about? Batteries. Finally got some. My camera has been called in to action several times over the past week and wha-da-ya-know it was out of batteries. I'd really like an upgrade but we got all serious about our finances and yadda-yadda-yadda we put our tax rebate on my credit card. BORING.

On a completely different note, I decided that since we redid our floors our previously DARK furniture was too...well, DARK! So I posted them on KSL and craigslist. It took a lot longer than I wanted but we finally got them sold. I took that money and went to IKEA (I. heart. IKEA.) and did some shopping. First, we built us a new computer desk out of a butcher block counter top and legs they sell there separately. Its awesome. However, I didn't take pictures of it since we have all our stuff piled up on it (organization will soon follow...)Next, we spent three hours trying to debate what to put our TV on. We're still in the "tube TV" era so it's a little tricky. After several days of trying to come to an agreement, Kolt decided to gracefully back out of the design process (I heart my hubby too!!) and I had full control. WOo-WOo! So we went with some nice drawers suggested by my sister (who happens to have them in white) and I LOVE THEM!

kobe sneeze riiight as I snapped the photo. 

Oh and that weird letter "D" on the wall is the prototype for one cut out of wood and painted white. I was just trying to get the dimension right. That paper definately isn't going to stay. 

So far Des has yet to figure out that they're drawers. We'd like to keep it that way. No one is to open them EVER. in front of him. One half is all my sewing stuff and that would be the saddest day ever. 

Kisses

Yesterday Des decided he likes giving kisses. He gave me about 50! Every time I was sitting down at his level he'd come over with his mouth wiiiiiide open ready for a smooch. LOVE IT!! hahaha Slobbery baby kisses are the best. Sorry dad! (although he gave you plenty too when you came home.)

Oh, and thanks Rachel for the pic. I stole it from you!! :D

Des wants to be a Rock Star!

This is one of Des' favorite toys. The Rock Band guitar. It's got all the right things: buttons, a cord, and stuff that sticks out and can be turned/twisted/lugged around.

Here's the money shot:

This is him trying to figure out where to plug it in...

Sprinklers are fun! (Kinda....)

I went to load some pictures from my camera for another post and I was pleasantly surprised by several other photos I had forgotten about! Hooray!! 

The other day I had the sprinkler out watering our 9'x10' patch of grass and Des was pretty intrigued. So we stuck him in his swim suit and had some fun. This is what he did:

Just stood there and carefully put his hand in the water.

So then his mean mommy did something unthinkable. 

Deeees. Don't you wanna come get your toy?

Surprise!! He actually didn't mind at all. He didn't even really crack a smile. He was busy figuring out how it worked. That's his new thing. To see something and figure out how its doing what its doing. He gets that from his dad. There are many stories of things being dismantled by a three-year-old Kolt (much to the dismay of his parents.)

Fuzzy slippers...

Missing: my toothbrush.
Last seen: yesterday when Des was "brushing his teeth".

I have a feeling I'll probably want to buy a new one...*sigh*.

i fixed it

the video below that didn't work because i have no friends on youtube (didn't know I needed friends...geeze this social networking is TOO MUCH WORK!)

but I made it work now so you can watch it.

thanks.  :D

Des' first golfing trip

Here I was being bummed that we don't do anything exciting around here and Kolt pipes up that he wants to go to the driving range. I think he was surprised by how quickly I said yes. I've recently come to the conclusion that we have the TV on waaaay too much in the evenings. So, after dinner we all headed to the local course which is BEAUTIFUL. It's called Sleepy Ridge and they have such amazing grounds plus an enormous newly built clubhouse/reception hall (and Magleby's Grill).

We had tons of fun just walking around by the clubhouse. Des' favorite part was on the practice putting green. He got to chase after dad's golf ball and pull up the little flags. We were the only ones on the green for a while so I wasn't too worried of him chasing someone else's golf ball. Although that would've been pretty funny!
