I stole this video from my Moms facebook. It is so good. Made me cry. I am so grateful to have a Heavenly Father that will catch me when I fall.

Happy Mothers Day!!

It is so crazy to think that just 1 year ago I had no idea what I was getting into, But now I know that it is the best, most important thing I could ever do! Becoming a mother myself has made me realize how much my Mom and Moms all over do! Thanks Mom for being the best Mom and for teaching me the things you have that are helping me with my own family! I love being a mom! Not only do I love not having to go to work and staying home!! But I love takeing care of and playing with Stu! What a special blessing it is to be a Mom!

New with Stu
Stu is sure fun and is growing up so fast! I can't keep up with all of the cute pictures that I want to show you all! Here are some from the last couple of weeks.
First, Stu is eating REAL big boy cereal! He is very good at opening his mouth, and he got his tongue working the right way after just a couple of tries!! He loves food and eating, no matter what it is...well I guess accept for the yucky chicken, but I don't blame him it looked and smelled nasty! I think he does LOVE vegetables though Mike fed him the veggies last one time, right after the applesauce and he ate it just fine!! What a good boy he is!
Stu is also very good at rolling over...when he feels like it! He likes to lay on his belly now, and can hold his head up real good, so sometimes there is just no need to roll over! (p.s. I have like a million rollover pictures..I wish I could post them all he is so cute!)
We are also HOPEING that Stu is teething! If not he is just one slobbery boy! I have finally given in to putting a bib on him during the day because his shirt and onesie get soaked through in almost an instant. I just hate covering up his cute outfits! But I guess it is better that I cover them with a bib rather than him covering them with slobber. Along with slobbering comes chewing on everything. Stu is getting very good at getting things to his mouth! How cute are these with his little ducky friend! He may hate chicken but he sure loves duck...
Last but not least Stu is learning to crawl! ...Ok not really but he seems to be trying. When he gets sick of laying on his tummy rather than just rolling over like he has done so many times, he sticks his bum up in the air trying to get un-stuck! What a smart boy! Maybe the baby proofing is going to have to happen sooner than I thought!
Ok one more! This picture is from a whole other slew of tummy pictures, but this one was just too cute to not post. It also shows how long Stu's hair is! It is getting so long and just sticks straight up. I love his crazy hair!!

Worst hair cut EVER!!!
Let me just get on my haircutting soap-box for a minute... WHY CAN'T ANYONE BLEND HAIRCUTS!!!! I mean seriously we all went to beauty school! We all studied from the same book! Why does it seem like I was the only one listening on blending day! To have good blended layers you MUST point cut, you can have the straightest most perfect lines in your haircut and it will look horrible, as much as you straighten it it will never look good. The point isn't straight lines, only the few high-school girls looking for "choppy" layers want to be able to see each layer, other than them you blend away, I mean BLEND away!!
hhuuuuu.... Well as you may have guessed I got my hair cut, and to my discovery; unless I decide to be that super annoying girl that tells the stylist every cut and move to make I am going to have to come home and fix every hair cut for the rest of my life. I don't know I guess Im just picky and like to get what I want on my head and have it blended!! Aparrently that is too much to ask for!! I wish I had Elastigirl arms so I could cut my own hair. Lately I have been missing my long hair but thought I would get my hair trimmed one more time and have it cute short before I start to grow it out. Saturday I went to a girl that I worked with, who I referred all of my clients to, to get my hair trimmed. Well now that growing out process is going to take a lot longer. My hair was a long a-line and is now a very choppy, very short stacked a-line! I got home with my hair wet thinking, "I hope this is cute!" and dried it....it was horrible! Even Mike could tell, his words, "From the side there is a chunk and then a chunk and the back has a huge shelf"! Mike is even getting the words down!! Well I went back to have her blend it better and she tried. I ended up coming home and blending it myself, which was a good thing to discover that with three mirrors and a lot of time I can kind of do it myself. Now I have a lot less hair than I wish I had...Good thing it grows!

Amazing Internet!
The other day I wanted to make some Oatmeal cookies that sounded really yummy off of the food channel. Well off course I had all but ONE ingredient! It was buttermilk, I don't think I have ever purchased buttermilk. And, since I probably wouldn't have a use for it after these cookies I tried googleing Buttermilk substitutions. and, IT WORKED!! There is a buttermilk sub. and it really works! All you do is add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. It really turned thick like buttermilk, I felt like I had just successfully done a cool science experiment! How cool is the internet? We can ask all kinds of weird things and most of the time get an answer! So for all of you like me who don't have a use for buttermilk very often, try this! (It is also a lot healthier for you!)
Yummy cereal
Yesterday Stu turned 4 months old! I can't believe it! He is so much fun, time has gone by so fast already. Today he ate Big boy rice cereal for the first time! I think he liked it. He just hasn't figured out his tongue yet so it isn't as fast as he would like. We are having so much fun with our little guinea pig! Poor guy is getting all of our ideas good and bad! We Love you Stu!!
