Dec. 8

While I was getting ready in the bathroom I had some company. Next thing I know he has my shoes on! He always tries to put on everyones shoes.

So today I wanted to run some errands. I got a pretty slow/late start. Me and Westin stayed in bed till almost 8:30 watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse on Disney. He likes to lay in my bed when we wake up and watching tv. If I get out of bed or leave the room he gets very upset. Then we got up and mom had made mixed berry muffins! YUM! Westin ate maybe one, one and a half muffins. he has been eating more so this was unusual. Who knows with him. So I start getting ready and try to get him ready. He was up my butt the whole time. In the bathroom with me, brushing his teeth, brushing his teeth with my tooth brush, digging in the cabinets under the sink. Then when I went to get him ready he is being good playing with his block. Really? Then he wants to wear his new plaid shoes! I love those shoes but I thought they were a little big and bothered him, but he wanted them on so I put them on. He has never told me something like that. my big boy is growing up. So we ran our errands. I picked up some Echo parks, everyone loves Christmas from the LSS by my friends house. I wanted to frame a family pic to give to some people and I thought I would jazz it up with some cute PP! It was hard to decide what papers to buy b/c I didn't have enough money for the entire collection. I hope to get it tho in the future. Westin fell asleep on the way home but did not stay asleep when we got home b/c he had poo poo. And who can sleep with poo poo? So I changed him, tried to get him to eat some lunch then put him down again. he stayed up a while in his bed playing. He finally fell back asleep at 3:30 so he slept till 6:00! I had to wake him up to eat supper. We had ziti and normally he only eats spaghetti noodles, no other noodles. But I let him put parm cheese on them and he ate a good bit! Last night he put parm cheese on gram crackers! I guess that is the trick to get him to eat is to let him put parm cheese on it. Whatever gets him to eat. Then me, Westin and Jesse bear sat on the wedge of the couch and watched Modern Family. I tried to get a pic of that from my phone, but it did not come out the best. but I tried. And now it is bed time.

I will not be able to have any photos in this blog post b/c my laptop battery died on me so I have to use my mom's computer and none of my photos are loaded here. ( I went back and added a photo of Westin;s hair cut and a cut pic of me in my hat) But I wanted to cont with blogging everyday of Dec until Christmas for my album I hope to make....one day. So Tuesday I went and got Westin's haircut since they were closed on Mondays. I went to this kid hair cut place by my mom's house. I didn't really like how she cute his bangs. She just cut them straight across. I wasn't sure how to tell her to cut his hair, but I did not want his bangs to be cut straight across! It looks stupid and I don't like it. The rest of this hair looks fine. She didn't really use the clippers, just the scissors mostly. And Westin sat there eating his sucker and let her cut his hair! He has never been that still, but then again they usually use the clippers. Whenever he needs another haircut I am going to go to someone else! So after his haircut we went home, and mom wanted to go to the party store to pick up some paper plates for the Christmas party. I looked at the New Year's eve deco to check out how silly I can look on New Year's eve. Not sure if I want to wear the 2011 glasses or the tiara? lol Then when we got home it was nap time! Later that night mom decided to try and make her peanut butter fudge. At first she thought it wasn't going to come out right. It is very difficult and you have to make it just right for it to set right and harden, but it did. It was soo good! I ate so much fudge I thought I was about to explode! I have a pic of Westin's haircut and a cute pic of me with my hat on my phone, but since my charger isn't working I cannot put them on here, but if I could those pic would be here lol FYI :)

This is Jesse Bear laying by the fire!
Westin giving Jesse Bear a kiss!
And a hug! He hug with his head not his arms!
I told Westin show me his belly button and I got his pic! He is lugging around my water bottle. He is so silly
Monday was another lazy day. I was going to get Westin haircut but I found out they were closed on Mondays. So I am going to go get his haircut tmw. Mom wanted to clean up the floors so I picked up all of Westin's toys! He had his toys everywhere. So I picked up all of his toys and put them away. It got pretty cold yesterday so Jermey had a fire going.

When I saw this sketch I thought about this big tree sticker that I had from my Sweet Summertime collection from Echo Parks. So I searched through my photos and found these photos of Westin in the backyard and I thought they would work perfect with the sketch and tree! I felt like the LO needed a little something else so I added the stitching and a little blue stickles around the clouds. I think it came out cute! Thanks for looking

Lucky

Over at scrap it with a song the song they chose was Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colby Callat. Well I just recently did a LO called Lucky so I decided to use some of the song lyrics for my LO. I thought these lyrics fit perfectly for this LO! I love the Sweet Summertime collection from echo parks and the tickets from Tim Holtz!

Dec. 5

Today is a Sunday and we usually bum around on Sundays. Mom made her yummy potato breakfast bowls! YUMMY! Then we just hung around the house, Westin went down for a nap, I did a little scrapbooking. Then mom made hamburgers and french fries! YUM YUM! Then we watched Desprate Housewives then I put Westin to bed, then took a shower and went to bed. Such a boring low key Sunday, just the way I like them!

Dec. 4

So we woke up bright and early to go to the New Orleans zoo. We were meeting up at Starbucks so we could all follow each other. Cooper (my little bro) decided he wanted to come and Cheri, Josh and Zoe and then Cindy and her nephews, and Gabe rode with me. Well we got stuck in traffic on the bridge b/c it was down to one lane for construction. It should have only took us about an hour, but it took us about an hour and a half to 2 hours to get there! Westin watched Yo Gabba Gabba in the whole ride there so he was good! We got in the zoo just in time for the elephant show! And elephants are one of Westin;s fave! But he likes a lot of animals. So we waited for the show. I put Westin on my shoulders so he could see and that little booger is heavy lol. And he meesed with my hair before the show started. Once the elephants came out I think he just stared in amazement! Everyone would clap when the elephants would do a trick and he would clap too! He loved it! We were all getting hungry already from waking up so early then taking us so long to get there so we stopped and ate at the cafe! Then they had a place area right by the cafe so all the kids played for a while. Our next stop on the zoo was the monkey kingdom! They had big gorillias! They are really cool to watch! And at some times inappropriate lol. Then we went to the african area, one of my faves! The above pic is of Westin in amazement of the giraffe's! They were so close you could almost feed them! And mom has a little giraffe that Westin carries around her house. I bet he had no idea they were that big! Sometimes I wish I knew what he was thinking!

This black bear looks like my jesse bear hence his middle name his bear. He is almost as big as them too! And he sleeps just like that! lol I swear he is part bear! But he is must gentler than a bear lol

Westin and Zoe fell asleep about at the same time! We were at the Louisiana swamp area looking at the alligators and the nutria rats and out they went. So we chilled on the rocking chairs they had by the gift shop! Once we started moving again they both woke up.

I was able to get a good pic of the elephant after the show. Isn't she pretty! And by the way this is an Asian elephant not an African elephant!

Right at the exit they had this dinosaur thing and Westin LOVES dinosaurs. So he had fun playing with the dinosaur!
