5 months going on 5 years.
i feel like i'm in a time warp. my son is 5 months old. when did this happen??? everyday we wake up, he is doing something new and we just fall in love with him all over again...
mouse. for real.
for real. seriously.
my little mouse story below OBVIOUSLY needs a new ending. or should be re-written. whatever. all i know is that THERE WAS A MOUSE. i was not wrong, people!!!!
so after 3 weeks of our trailer sitting at the dealer for service (people of utah!!! do NOT go to blaine jensen for service. they call it service, we call it crap! anywho...) we walk into the trailer and what are the words i hear come out of my sweet, loving husband's mouth??? 'UM...I SEE MOUSE POOP!'
huh?!?!?!
'no no,' i tell him. 'it was the branches, remember?!?!?'
riiiight. branches, my butt.
lo and behold, i peek over the where audrie and i originally heard the squeaks 4 week ago and hmm... mouse poop!
ever notice how they look like those chocolate sprinkles you put on your frozen yogurt?? anyway...
so begins the 48 hour long process of cleaning, sealing, steam cleaning the carpets, and setting traps. the only thing i could think of was contracting the Hantavirus. poor me, poor emmett. i'd say poor matt, but he believes he is invincible (as most men do. :) ). i don't do mice. they disgust me, gross me out, and i don't even like looking at a trap. just writing this makes me want to vomit.
ok, so long story short- i was right!!! ah, sweet, sweet victory! it took all the strength that i had not to point my finger at matt and say, 'i told you so.' we needed to work together as a team here and besides, why beat a dead horse? i am very careful to pick my battles anyway. :)
so now we have an uber clean place that is mouse poop free. the traps have been set for 5 days and so far no mouse. SO GOOD!
ah, the rodent-free life!
a visit with friends...
yesterday we drove up to logan to visit with some friends we hadn't seen for awhile. they had a baby girl 11 days after we had emmett. 11 days. maybe we should have named our son PAUL BUNYON.
sure annalee is a GIRL, but she's tiny! or our son is HUGE. 12 vs. 16 lbs. goodness.
p.s. daddy dressed me. ;) he said the red stripes match my hair, and the blue stripes match my eyes. and of course camo is his FAVORITE!!
fishin' & family
last week we spent some time with matt's fam. even though they only live 10 miles away, we don't get to see them often. grammy & grandpa hansen had a BBQ, and turns out there was a golden opportunity for a picture with four generations! Saaaah-weet!
great-grandpa david, grandpa chris, matt & emmett
after that lovely day, we decided to do some fishing up at lost creek (reservoir). we didn't catch anything except a few laughs and some mosquito bites. :( oh well, next time!
aunt monica & emmett
the gang's all here!
me & my niece kylie (she's teaching me how to fish :))
LOVE the laugh!
emmett just started laughing. so cute! halfway through you can really hear it. im in love!!!
oh the things we do to get our kids to laugh = ignore me, i sound stupid. :)
4 months!!!!
i can't believe my little man is 4 months already! totally nuts!
he had two milestones this month-
#1 he laughed! at matt of course, not me. go figure!
#2 he rolled over! i was such a proud mommy... i still am!
i took emmett in for his 4 month dr appt, and he now weighs 15lbs 8oz, and is 25 1/2" long. 75th percentile.
i just love him.
:)
