good things utah.

Today my girlfriend Tami and I went to Salt Lake to a live taping of "Good Things Utah".  It's a local morning talk show with segments on cooking, fashion, crafts, fitness, etc.


After the show they let the audience come up and take a photo with the hosts.
Me, Nicea Degering, Angie Larsen, Marti Skold and Reagan Leadbetter, Tami Fife.

It was fun to see how the show is produced and aired.  Apparently we looked really stupid on air when they panned the audience and we were not clapping!  Opps!  I think we are going to try and go again sometime.

PS- Tami and I both won $5 gift cards to the featured cafe on today's show...yummy!

My sister and her family came to town for a quick weekend visit.  It was really quick, but we tried to pack in an much fun as we could.



Addie was determined to teach Truman how to crawl since her little sister Jean can crawl already.  I don't think Truman is interested in crawling yet.

Cute smiles!

Truman thinks this toy is so funny.

My mom wanted a picture of all the grandkids {minus Ira} only Quinn is looking! 

Time for a crawling contest.
Jean won!
Truman went no where.

Addie and I went shopping and got Truman some new books.  She is a great reader and Truman loved getting read to.

Truman's new favorite funny toy - you turn it on and it dances and Truman cracks up laughing at it.

We had a great time!!

today.

See that big wet spot on my bed to the right of Truman?  Yep, for only the third time in his life he had a little accident while getting his diaper changed.  And of course I washed my sheets yesterday ... and again today!

trying to crawling in the wrong direction - away from the camera.

He is close to crawling, but not quite there yet.

Okay, that was enough practice, time for a rest.


Truman't top two teeth broke through sometime this weekend {they are going to be a grand canyon gap apart - I can't wait}.  He had a hard day yesterday but seemed to be fine all day today.

Super Happy Birthday Bowl!

Gregg and his mom - it was her birthday this week too.

The Jetta...

A gift from my parents, sort of...

We had a fun Super Bowl watching Birthday Party for Gregg with lots of good food.  Thanks everyone for coming.

Truman was helping me do some cooking today ... I learned he loves frosting and taking baths in the kitchen sink!

Happy Birthday Gregg {on Sunday}

rubber duckie.

concentration!

I hardly ever put Truman in the bath - most of the time I put him in the shower with Gregg in the morning.  I needed to 'distract' him the other day while I was getting ready - so he enjoyed a nice long bath.



Does that bring back memories or what?!

PS- My recovery is going well, just slower then I anticipated.
