Okay, I'm getting around to posting finally! The sling below is the one I made for me. Pretty cute,huh? Chalupa was my test baby even though we just took her to the vet and she only weighs 3.6 pounds now. Babies are a little heavier than that. I have so many things to blog about. I don't know where to start.

I guess, first, we went to Josh's football game this friday night. That was a lot of fun! The big South/Central game. Alex had a good time but he started to get very squirmy and very tired. He didn't get a nap that day. He kept yelling wooo and touchdown super loud! He talked about Josh the whole game because he's one of Alex's favorite people. Unfortunately, South won at the very end of the game. Very disappointing!

After we left the game we decided to run by the Skating Rink where Nathan worked for forever. Poor Alex was asleep by the time we got there and we had to wake him up. I don't think he really minded once we got inside though. We put some little skates on him with the wheels all locked up for him to walk around in. He took to it right away! Kind of crazy since he doesn't really like trying new things and is kind of a fraidy cat! After a while he kept saying he wanted to go fast so they loosened the wheels up a little. He loved it! Nathan and I took turns walking around with him. He really liked going on the floor. When it was time to take them off he was screaming and crying NO and trying to stop us from taking them off. All the rest of the night and in the morning he kept telling me he wanted skates and to go fast! So cute! He definitely takes after his daddy!

After, we got Alex into bed we played Loaded Questions. It's Nathan's favorite game and I think everyone elses fave now too! It turned into and Adult game as usual when Nathan and I are involved. It was super fun and funny and decided that we have to play it at christmas when Joy and Jason are out here.

Then, Saturday, we went to the farm. Alex and Daddy love the farm! It's so cute! Whenever we're driving and Alex sees a pond he says water and pappa. We had lunch there and sat around talking. Nathan shot his guns and then the boys played paintball. Except for Josh. He was all beat up from the game the night before. The highlight from that day was when Dad fell into the pond. I was the only one who saw the whole thing. It was hilarious! The bad part was that he lost his glasses and the water was super cold. Thankfully, he found his glasses after standing in the freezing cold water for forever feeling on the bottom with his feet trying to find them.

Woah! That was a lot of stuff. First off, how awesome is that about Alex going skating!!! And he must have been so tired too, so you know he was really into it. Dude! When we come out next summer we should see if Alex & Hayley want to go skating together! They would probably have a blast. Alex can teach Hayley how it's done. They'll probably still need a parent with though, right? At 3? I have no idea how old I was when I learned to skate.

You should tell the story of how your dad fell in! That is just like him though, to freeze his butt off to find his glasses. I'm glad he found them! So Josh was beat up enough that he didn't want to play paintball, wow. I guess he was probably pretty tired too. Jeremy said he had an awesome game.

Trying to remember if there was anything else I was going to comment on....

:) He he he, I bet he was adorable on the roller skates, Alex and Hayley should totally go skating together! Heh...Dad should buy like...10 pairs of glasses cause it seems like he loses them in the pond ALL the time. I've never heard of that game, we should definitely play it!
