Holy Moly!!!

Holy Moly! It has been way too long since I have worked on this! I have many photos to add, and will do so after this update!

Number one: Atticus is talking up a storm and lets me know what I am doing wrong every day! He tells me "No!" all the time and has finally really hit the terrible twos. It is amazing how quickly he picks up and repeats EVERYTHING you say! Such as "Holy moly Atticus, its too early to get up!" - came out as "Oly Mol Addidus, early get up!" He is just so dang cute!

Number two: We are BUSY BUSY BUSY people! I feel like we are always running around; Elliot and I see each other about 2-5 hours a week (which makes me sad, but appreciate him so much more when I do have him)! Our schedules are crazy and we are always on the move. I have been working almost full time hours at Delta, part time with Legacy Weddings, and very full time with Atticus. Elliot is still full time graveyards at the U, full time student by day, dad by night, and I couldn't even tell you when he sleeps!

Number three: We are going to sell our house! We are super excited for the next step in our lives which includes a yard for Atti to play in and hopefully less stairs to the laundry room! We plan on listing by April and we'll see how long it takes to sell....in this market you never know! We have been packing and tidying up to stage and hope that it moves quickly!

Number four: Elliot graduates with a B.S. in Psychology from the U of U on May 7th! He has worked so hard and I am so proud of him. Currently he is conducting a study in the driving simulator at the U on the effects of GPS devices and ones ability to find a location with/without it. It has been a few months in the making and is in the data collection stage. There is a bit to go, but it is promising and opening up doors of opportunity for him!

Those are all of the big updates, and I will follow with photos tomorrow after I download them all onto my computer! I apologize for slacking in the documenting portion of my life; I suppose the rest of it had just consumed me for a bit!

Cloudy with a chance of meat balls...

Atticus loves to go to the movies! He holds the tub of popcorn on his lap and kicks back for the show! Every now and then he will grunt at you for a sip of beverage, and he closely monitors who is eating HIS popcorn!




Today we went to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meat Balls, which Atti loved! He wore his 3D glasses the whole time and still has them on now that we are home!



Atti posed in front of the movie poster for almost three whole minutes so I could snap some shots of him wearing his new "eyes" as he calls them.




Atti and Grandma Sugar; Atti apparently has a hard time focusing with 3D glasses on, not to mention they are about 47 sizes too big!! Super cute though, gotta love him!

WOW! It Has Been A While!!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW!! Working has put a damper on blogging!! I am awful; no more taking pictures every day and writing about the funny things Atti does! Shame on me! Here are a few pics that I did manage to take this month...hopefully there will be more to follow in the very near future!




Atti in the "Parents for Sale" shirt that Grandma Sugar got in Florida while visiting A.J. a few weeks ago. It is no longer white, and has a large purple popsicle stain down the front. Still cute none the less and some spray'n'wash should help the situation...


Atti the pro slide climber! He has decided that taking risks is a bunch of fun. The stairs are out of the question while at the playground; from now on he climbs the slippery slopes!


Atti likes to look at the rocks below him as he "crab walks" along the bridge of the playset. The funny thing is that he does this in reverse and a little bum comes at you...if you are on the right end of the playground.


Atti is completely happy when he has stolen something from me, in this case my badge for work. He had a grand time pulling it on the ground through the wet leaves. No harm done, just a few minor scratches and a tid bit of mud. Easily fixed and worth every Atti laugh!



This is Atti on a "dad day" with Elliot. They play outside with trucks and balls while I am at work and Atti loves it! Also, you can tell because Atti is sporting a Sox hat! He always wants to look like his daddy!

How To Eat An Oreo

Atticus loves Oreos. He knows how to take them apart and lick all the frosting off before he actually takes a bit of cookie.

I unfortunatelly didn't get to snap a shot of the good times, and instead got a couple of Atti after the bag had been closed up (thanks Joe for taking them!) and he realized that he would not be getting anymore. Don't worry,we gave him one last cookie and he was happy again!

Elliot & Atti's Vacation

Elliot and Atticus went to Dallas to visit Joe and to see the Red Sox play the Rangers. Atti went to two MLB games and caught a fly foul at the second game!
