Big Boy

My little boy is in a big boy bed. I can't believe it. We were planning on doing it when we moved, but he decided to dive out of his crib today and I don't want to chance him getting hurt. My sister Macie (thanks!) gave us a twin bed and I got the bedding for free - so we had everything we needed! My parents were able to bring it to our house and helped Jordan set it up and get it ready to go. He loves it and is sleeping great in it tonight! I hope it stays this way! I've decided that I have the best child!

Missing......

my little monster....... A LOT!

Tonight I had to say good bye to my little monster for an ENTIRE week! It was hard. It still is hard and will continue to be until I get to see him again. He is with my mom, but I want him with me. I hope I survive. I love you Mikah.

Most of you are probably thinking that I am a wimp, but I spend my entire day with him. He is always by my side. We are headed to Texas for a week to look for a house. I'm so nervous - but excited for this new adventure. I'll post of our adventures when we return.

We're headed to.....

Texas tomorrow for a week!

and I am going to miss this little guy....SO MUCH!

Zzzzzz..........

Can you tell what's in the drawer?

Can you now!?

How about NOW.....!?

Yep, it's Mikah!!

Today while watching the BYU game, Mikah was in his room and was being very quiet. I figured he'd be in his room with all of his books on his bookshelf - reading. I asked Jordan to check on him. Jordan called me in and Mikah was sitting in his dresser. We were laughing and told him he needed to be careful and took him out. It was nap time, so I asked him to come and take a nap on the couch. I got his pillow and blanket. He didn't like that idea. He went back into his room and I figured he would just be sitting in his dresser again. Well this time he had fallen asleep. It was so funny. I had to get some video and pictures and then move him into a more comfortable sleeping place, his bed.

Nanimals.....

Yesterday, Jordan took Mikah to the Bean Museum on BYU campus.

Side Note: I have decided that Jordan is the best dad ever! He does so much for Mikah. When he gets home from work and school, if it is warm outside, he'll take him to the park!

Mikah loved it so much and came home telling me about it. "Nanimals" - Animals and "Melphant" - Elephant. When he woke up from his nap today, we decided to go up there again. He was so excited and loved every minute of it.

He loves the Bear books by Bill Martin Jr. and reads them everyday. When he saw the bears he said, "Bown Bear, Bown Bear, Bown Bear, Bown Bear, See" - if you haven't read these books, he was trying to say "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?"

Behind Mikah in the picture below is a Cheetah. Jordan said yesterday when he saw the tongue of the Cheetah, he said, "Ham! Ham!!" Haha. Mikah loves ham and thought that the tongue of the Cheetah was lunch meat - Ham.
This bear was huge! Mikah was scared of him and didn't want to be by it. When I told him we wanted to get a picture with the bear he said, "Bear, Cheese!!" - meaning "say cheese bear!"
And this was his favorite part - "The Melphant"!

I love this little boy and as you can tell from this post, he is learning SO much! He is so smart! :D

BYU....

I had a great idea - or so i thought.

Jordan and I hadn't been to a BYU basketball game this season and with only 2 home games left, I decided to find some tickets because we needed to watch them this season!

I was able to find some tickets for a decent price and I bought them with some money I earned doing a few surveys last week. I surprised Jordan with tickets, a Jimmer t-shirt and a babysitter (Thanks Megan) and we were off. We stopped by DQ to get a treat and we were off to the game.

I was so excited. I felt like BYU was going to win and it would be a great night. It was great in the part that I got to hang out with my love.....

But.....THEY LOST! I blame it on many factors- but they lost! I just spent the money I earned on tickets to the WORST game of the season......Here are a few of the reasons why we lost...

The refs SUCKED!

Davies decided to do something to get kicked off the team....which didn't help the team mentally.

We had 20% FGP and they had almost 50% - we couldn't make anything.

The refs were horrible and on many occasions, missed a call that would cost us 3 points. I can think of 12 point off the top of my head.

BYU didn't come to win, and NM def did!

The game was by far the worst officiated game I have ever watched.....

Enough said.

View from our great seats. It actually wasn't too bad. I could actually tell who the players were!

This was the highlight of the night! There were around 100 ladies - ages 50-94 who danced. They were AWESOME! Some of them could dance better than me - which isn't hard ;)

and at the end one of them did the SPLITS....

Sorry- the video isn't very good, but you'll get the point.

Chuck-E-Cheese

On Monday, for FHE, we went to Chuck-E-Cheese! We had a lot of fun and the best part it was completely FREE!! Mikah loved it the entire time. He was a little scared of the mouse but he talks about it every time we leave the house - he thinks we are going to go visit the mouse.

I think his favorite thing was going down the slide. He wasn't quite big enough to climb to the top, so I went with him.

I barely fit....

I was actually impressed with their pizza. It was pretty good! :D

He was enjoying a ride with the mouse..

Giving him a hug....

After we were done, we put our tickets in the ticket counter machine (name?). Mikah loved it and wanted to do it all by himself.

It was a really fun night! I love my little family and spending time with them!
