(yep, that's right. me and my gang. that is what is currently playing on the radio. since i can not come up with blog titles, that is what you get. :)
I am happy to report that our lasagna was good. Phew. I suppose it's better than steak in the long run. Plus, we get to have left overs for a week. (okay, so maybe that is just good for Dustyn) Next time I will plan to make lasagna when I have a bit more free time and I'll make it all on my own. This time I bought the sauce and stuff and that is why it was so expensive. It's okay now, though. I just happen to be the pickiest person alive when it comes to lasagna. I'm weird.
In other news, I successfully took a shower while Gage was awake today. It worked out rather nicely. I got his sippy, blanket, some crackers, his favorite trucks, turned on the radio and he played in his crib. I was surprised how much he enjoyed himself. He sang to the radio (so funny) and made sound effects for his cars. (I had the monitor in the bathroom with me) Between all that he kept saying, "Where'd mahi go?" Yep. That's me. Mahi. :) I went to get him out and he didn't even want to get out. As long as he doesn't decide to learn how to crawl out of his crib in the next little while, we're golden.
We are off to go find some leftover lasagna and maybe clean up a bit before daddy gets home. And then it's off to work for me. Woohoo! :P

lasagna
A few days ago Dustyn decided that he wanted lasagna for dinner tonight. Sure, no problem. I stopped by the grocery store last night on my way home from work and bought what we needed.
While I am excited to have lasagna for dinner, next time I think we will just go have steak at the steakhouse. It'd be cheaper. :P Either way, the lasagna is ready to go in the oven. It works out nicely since I have to work tonight and Dustyn has an opening social at the school. So we will both be gone. But, It will be ready when we get home. yum. It better be good! I could be having steak!
Work was pretty good yesterday. I had three students doing my job while I told them what to do. Nice. :) Sadly, today I get to do my own work. Boo. My main job today is to clean the auditorium. It takes forever and takes a toll on my body (so much vacuuming), but a job is a job! I really don't mind it though. I could, however, live without cleaning the boys bathrooms. *gag* Everyday I think, "AH!! I HAVE A BOY!" and then I hope and pray he has more respect for public property than some of the boys at the school.
I just looked over at Gage to make sure he was still playing nicely with his cars (he is right next to me)... he was going through feeling around the fireplace looking for lose grout and then trying to eat it. Gross. Who doesn't love chewing on pointy rocks. Where does he come up with this stuff?
I don't even know what other random things I was going to talk about. I've lost it all after running around trying to get the grout away from Gage as he tries to shove it in his mouth. Oh the adventures of a toddler.
Maybe I will come up with something later. Until then, I better start checking the grout.

Happy National Adoption Month!
Can you believe it's November already? Isn't Fall the best?
It's National Adoption Month!
Of course we love adoption at our house. We thank our Heavenly Father for it everyday. We also thank him for Gage's birth parents. We love them. We are thankful for Korin and the choice that she made. We are blessed everyday for her decision. We pray that her life has been blessed too.
I know we have done the question thing over and over... but if you have any questions about adoption that are lingering, feel free to ask them and I will address them over the next month!
We had a good Halloween! Gage was not interested in trick-or-treating. We went to Grandpa and Grandma's house twice and that was it. We tried to walk to the neighbor's house, but he was screaming for Grandpa, so we changed our course and went back to see Grandpa. I had to head to work, so that was our halloween! :) We didn't even get any candy.
Here are some pictures of our Superman!

happy halloween!
We had a pretty good weekend! Of course you already read about Saturday. :) Sunday turned out pretty good. Gage was less ornery and much happier. He did pretty good in church. After church he had a good nap and then it was off to Grandma Ondee's House for a Halloween party. She had all kinds of fun stuff planned and lots of food.
Here are some photos from the weekend!
Apparently Gage was ready to be out of his pajamas. :)
We came home and bought some perogies just for fun. Gage seemed to like them. (sometimes he can't bear to leave his blanket for even two minutes to eat. Silly boy)
Playing in the leaves at the park. He wasn't into playing in the leaves much. He'd rather run.
We stopped by Taco Time for a crisp bean burrito. Gage kind of loves them. :) Lately, it has been the only thing he has eaten well. Maybe we'll have to go back. Refried beans are healthy, right? ha ha.
Grandma's Halloween Party. She even had a fishing booth!
We are excited for Halloween tonight! I think I may even go in to work late so I can go to a few houses with Gage. Have a safe Halloween!

saturday ramblings.
It's been an okay day.
Nothing very exciting, but it's always nice to be home.
I even made homemade waffles and buttermilk syrup this morning for breakfast. yum.
Gage has been in a mood today... and not a great one. He only took a very short nap and it shows. He also woke up around 5:30 a.m. so I am sure that didn't help either. We were trying to do things to make him happy so we went and wandered around Kmart. He usually loves going and wandering around any shopping center. We usually go down the toy isle and play with all the toys to make him giggle. Today, that was not the case. He screamed and screamed because he wanted them all. We walked into the clothes section and he screamed that he wanted those. Same with the shoes. And the bedding. Basically he screamed most of the time we were there. We decided that maybe we would go to the park and let him run and play in the leaves. He seemed to enjoy that and the slide. But... eventually we had to leave. You can probably guess the rest. On the way home he screamed because the sun was in his eyes (we have the stick on window tints so it really wasn't that bad. ha ha).
Once we got home, he brought his blanket and sippy and sat on my lap for awhile. We ate popcorn and watched Project Runway. :) I can say it was the best hour of our day. He has been incredibly cute today, but very feisty too. I just love that boy. He definitely makes our days entertaining.
I haven't really decided what Gage is going to be for halloween yet. We have a party at my grandmas in less than 24 hours and I have yet to decide. We are excited for the party though! I don't know if I will be around on Monday to take him trick-or-treating so I am glad we are having a party.
We just put Gage down for bed. I hope he gets a good night of sleep!! :) There is currently an ice cream base in the ice cream maker, left over buttermilk syrup in the fridge, and the season finale of Project Runway to watch. Sounds like a pretty good saturday night to me!

It is really so?!?!
Am I really back?
I sure hope so!
I want to get back to writing daily about everything and nothing. Even posts without pictures. Ah! I know.
We have been doing well around here. We are just trying to keep caught up. I am working 4-7:00 p.m. as a custodian at the high school. It keeps me busy. And tired. I still sub occasionally, but I haven't lately.
Gage is growing crazy fast. He learns something new (or lots of things) everyday. He comes up with new words all the time that I had no idea he even knew. Today it was "clock". Who knew. He is one smart boy... and I am not even saying that just because I am his mother. ;) He knows well over 100 words. I am sure it's closer to the 200 range. He is talking in more complete sentences. I am sure you will be hearing much more about him and his daily accomplishments. Yesterday, after his bath, he was looking in the mirror saying, "handsome boy". He was making faces and laughing at himself. He then pointed at himself and said, "I funny". It was too cute. He is very good at saying complete words. He loves all think Mickey and Goofy. Although, his real love are cars and trucks. He can not get enough.
I still need to write a post about going to Ottawa. We had a great time that went far too fast. It was so good meeting Heather and Sarah! I wish we all lived a little closer (at least within driving distance). :) Sarah's wedding was perfect and so much fun. She is a good party planner.
I am so happy it's friday! It may have been a short week, but it sure seemed long. There have been a lot of things going on at the school that have made my job a little more tricky as I try to get everything done. I am thinking today is a normal Friday. So happy for that.
I haven't accomplished much today. I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, swept, a batch of laundry, and bathed and fed Gage. Yep, that is about it. But it's only 11:00 a.m. There is plenty of time left in the day to get something done. We HAVE to go shopping today for a few groceries. Our house is empty from being gone for a week and we have yet to go shopping. On Wednesday, Gage woke up and I went to get him his morning sippy of milk. I panicked as I noticed that we didn't have any milk. I didn't have a car and Dustyn was already at work. Luckily my dad loves us and was willing to run to the store and rescue us from our milk emergency. Thank heavens. A day without milk? I don't know how well that would turn out.
I am thinking it's nap time for Gage and that means shower time for me! yay! (If you have a toddler, do you wait until your babe is sleeping before you shower? (what if you have to go somewhere before nap time?) Or do you busy them with something? I am not brave enough to leave him with something and hope he behaves. I would probably find him on top of the bookshelf or something. (Funny I look up and he is trying to climb the bookshelf. Goofy boy).)
So there you have it. My random thoughts for the moment.
I hope you have a lovely day!
I sure hope so!

we are still alive. phew.
I am still computer-less. I most likely will be for quite some time.
Blogging on my iPod isn't that fun. Sorry. ;)
I have been working too much lately. It's exhausting.
Luckily this week involves a few afternoons off.
Phew. I may survive.
I miss reading blogs, I miss being "social" online.
I am sorry I haven't exactly been a good friend lately.
I can't wait to get back into the swing of things.
Gage is growing fast and is learning words faster than I thought possible. He makes me laugh everyday.
How I love him. I can't believe that he'll be 18 months old in a few days.
We are approaching the first anniversary of his finalization and sealing. I can't believe I am actually experiencing these types of milestones. I am one lucky lady.
Thank you Korin. Thank you Luis.
Thank you for letting us experience life with Gage. I can't imagine anything better. He makes life pretty darn great.
We love you both.

Wanna hang with us? ;)
We have had a pretty low key summer. We've had quite a few photo sessions and they seem to keep us busy. Luckily, it's a lot of fun.
Gage is growing fast. He is learning so much everyday. He talks like crazy and repeats mostly anything. He is a busy, busy boy. I can barely keep up with him.
I can't believe school starts in a couple of weeks. Dustyn starts a week from today. Crazy.
I am bummed we didn't get to go on a vacation this summer, but I am excited that we are going to Ottawa for Sarah's wedding in October! I can't wait.
Mostly our summer has consisted of getting Dustyn's Photography business up and going. We've been trying off and on for the past few years, but we are finally there and finally ready to be serious. It has been awesome. We've been in the middle of three weddings. They are a lot of work, but the most fun of all the sessions. I love being part of such an exciting and special day.
If you want to check out his current work, you can check out his blog. dustynallen.com and his instaproofs site. (You have to enter your email to view them, but that is just for email reminders to purchase prints before they go offline. You can opt out of the emails if you want to. Feel free to view all the sessions!)
He also has a facebook page! Right now we are having a giveaway for a free session once we get to 100 fans. So... go like his page! We'd love to hang out with you and snap a few photos! :)
I hope your summer has been awesome. I hope to be back to blogging. Eventually. But, right now I am still looking for a job. boo. Sometimes I hate being a responsible adult.

an unintentional break.
My laptop computer battery died which makes posting very tricky. I am hoping to be back soon. Just in case you wondered. :)

crazy.
June has been crazy busy over here.
Camp Big Springs.
The Zoo with Korin.
Dinner up at Camp.
Commercial Art Workshops.
The Sweet Tooth Fairy.
Commercial Photography Workshops.
Dustyn's Birthday.
Father's Day.
New nephews.
Yearbook Camp.
Gardening.
Family Reunion in Boise.
Packing, unpacking, repacking, and unpacking just to repack. And then repeat three times.
And of course there is loading the car, unloading the car, loading the car to unload it. You get the idea. :)
Broken Sprinklers.
Jace and Katie's Sealing.
Photo shoots. (we have three weddings in the next little while. craziness!)
Lost a camera, won a camera (not for me. boo), broken laptop. boo.
And on and on.
We were home approximately 7-9 days during the whole month of June.
I am glad to be home.
It has been a looong month and I am glad it's july.
July = Best month ever.
We started it off right. (our town has the best 4th of July celebration. ever. does anyone else feel like that towards their town?)
Today we went to Cars 2. Completely enjoyed it. Even Gage like it. But, mostly he liked the Red Vine that helped distract him for the last 10 minutes. You think he got it good? You should have seen me. (oh yes, and his diaper was half off and falling out of his shorts! ha ha)
Sprinklers.
Baths.
The Diaper Derby. Gage won the first heat (by running to someone else) and then came in third the next heat (because he was running to me. ha ha). I am sure next year he will beat all those kids in the older races. (do they do anything for 2 year olds?) I just can't believe I have my own reason to attend the diaper derby. It's awesome.
Flavorless Sno-cones. Is there anything better? :)
(until you dump it on yourself)
Swings.
We are exhausted.
We are excited for it all to start again Monday.
Hopefully I get around to talking about the rest of the month. :)

$4 well spent? I think so.
just as dustyn and i were talking about how we should not go out to eat and not waste our money on food that isn't so great for you and toys that aren't really worth $4 (afterall, gage's meal was double what we paid for ours, all for the toy (okay, and the milk. ha ha))... dustyn figured out how to use the toy.
and then we decided it was worth it.
dang mickey d's.
and then we decided it was worth it.

happy birth mother's day
to our beautiful Korin.
We are so grateful for you.
We are grateful for your love.
It is because of you that I celebrate my second Mother's day with Joy.
Because with Gage, our days are full of happiness.
(And blurry pictures. That boy can move!)
We love you! Happy Birth Mother's Day!
