Copy Cat

So the other day Masaru was watching his new favourite movie 'Rescuers Down Under' and Dru came in and sat down. So Masaru, who was on the couch decided he needed to be like dad and got his rocking chair out.
I think this picture is cute.
I think if Masaru continues to copy what Dru does he'll turn into a wonderful man.

Firsts

So we spent a week away, with Dru's family, at the Ranch House in Star Valley Wyoming. It's the same place that Dru worked on for about a year with his father and brother in law.
I must say it is just beautiful and was the perfect place for us to all be.
Everyone had their own rooms, which is a FIRST, and Dru and I got the master room, also a FIRST.
The bed we slept on was just as nice as the bed at home. So for the FIRST time we weren't craving our bed back home.
This is also the FIRST time Dru has slept there and never worked on it. He seemed to like it better that way he informed me.
Yuki started crawling for the FIRST time.
And it was the FIRST time she's taken a bath and not screamed the house down!
Masaru started riding his bike with no training wheels for the FIRST time.
I finished my FIRST quilt.
Now I have to dedicate this first quilt to my sister in laws Brooke and Kristin, cause without them this quilt would not be on my first lists. It would still be on the bench in the kitchen at home waiting to be finished. So thanks guys for helping me out. Ah they also helped me out with my dinner menu, so without them we wouldn't of had such a nice dinner that night. Soooooooooo thanks again. That isn't a FIRST. I think they're used to me being usless.
My other sister in law Leslie brought a book called "The Last Lecture" the the Ranch and so I read that as well. It was really good and I'm glad I read it. Plus it was an easy read but it made me feel good that I read a book while on holiday. So thanks Les.
Also a FIRST was GUITAR HERO. I can officially play songs on medium now and am horribly hooked to this game. So thanks Ethan for letting me play that probably more times than you have since you've had it.
For the majority of Dru's family it was a FIRST playing cricket.
We played tip and run, meaning if you hit it or tip it you have to run. It was exciting and the kids loved it.
It's still a little hard for everyone to bowl the ball though. They all want to just throw it. And everyone had to get used to keeping the bat on the ground by their feet.
It was the FIRST time I had driven a 4 wheeler. Which was just so much fun. I loved it. We went to the top of the mountain and the view was simply stunning. I'm so glad we had those.
It was also the FIRST time I had been to Jackson Hole.
I loved it there. I could've easily spent the entire day there shopping and looking and shopping some more. But we had to go and do a hike, which was just beautiful.
We hiked there and took the boat back.
Well a couple of us didn't take the boat back, right Ethan? But that's a story for another time. Maybe a post by his mum!! That was a FIRST for Ethan I'm sure.
We had dinner and listened to cowboys sing and play that night at a chuckwagon place. A FIRST for me. They were really good but alas it was a late show so we left before it had finished.
I ate pretty much whatever I wanted so I'm officially back to the gym and starving myself for little results again. LOL
It was a great week and I really enjoyed it and am grateful for Dru's family and the fun time we had. Especially for how much they helped with looking after Masaru.
Dru and I are on the village plan for parenting.
So thanks guys.

Best Friends

Well here is my first video upload. I've been wanting to do video for a while now.
I gave up but I thought I'd give it one more try.
Anyway I thought this was pretty cute.
I keep saying Masaru and Yuki are best mates, and now you can see some of what I see every day.
I love them.
Don't you just love when a baby is hysterically laughing?
She was laughing a bunch more so I'm sad I didn't catch a better footage of it. But this is the best I could do.

Father's Day

So this is what Dru got for Father's Day. I'd say it's the perfect gift. It's so he can nap all sneaky like, and no one will no the wiser!!
So here he is, trying them on for size. Do you think you'd be fooled? For starters they're blue not brown so unless Dru's wearing coloured contacts there's something fishy going on.

This is the card above and the instructions of how to use them.

He got to sleep in, in the morning and I think he slept a bit at church, and then had a nap after church and then we went to bed at regular time at night. So I'm pretty sure if Dru was to tell you his perfect day........................it'd be sleeping around 3 times in that day.

We love you babe, there's no one around who can sleep better than you!!!

Happy Father's Day

My dad, Myles Papa, is the best dad in the whole world. Just like Kristin paid tribute to him on her blog, dido. I love that he taught me how to work hard, and not complain(too much). I love that he taught me how to do anything I needed. He has taught me to Lay tile, paint, general carpentry skills, change a tire, check and fix minor mechanical problems and many many more things. I'm lucky to have worked with a man who is so meticulous about the kind of work he does. I'm blessed to have been able to go on many road trips cross country with my dad. It was there that I talked, and talked and he listened. We are a good team, my dad and I. Happy Father's Day Dad and Papa.

Happy First Father's Day, Daddy

Happy 1st Father's Day daddy! Thanks for always being my built in playmate. I love getting a free ride all over the country. Your back provides the best place for me to see the world! I love you! Myles

Mylo and Mommy

I've just discovered how to make a picasa collage. I thought these were fun pictures of our journey together. We've come a long way baby! From the first night in the hospital to our big trip to the East Coast we are never far apart. Man I love this kid!
