The Latest and Greatest
(and not so greatest)
First, I would like to point out that Sam's helmet post got more comments than our "We're having a baby post" back when I was pregnant. (No, I'm not currently pregnant.) Sam's feeling the love.
We had quite the exciting week! Here's the rundown:
1. Today Sam is officially 8 months old! He is so cute and so much fun. We love having him and are so grateful to be his parents. Remind me of that when we're working on potty training.
2. Sam pooped while I was giving him his bath. Twice. Once Friday and once yesterday. I'm afraid to give him another bath. Of course, Dan wasn't around either of those times. Maybe I'll wait for him to get back from hometeaching (visiting families from church) and then suggest that he bathe Sam. Not a bad idea. I took pictures, but I'll spare you.
3. We put down money to build a house! We're going to build in the city of Humble, Texas. Our house should be done in about 6 months and we are very excited! We have lots of choices to make in the coming months about what we want our house to look like so I hope we don't get too overwhelmed! We selected a lot that's in a great community with pools, playgrounds, a fitness center, and lots of walking trails. We think it will be a great place for our family. We also found out that our church has property just a mile or so away so that will be great in the future. Our lot backs up to a "nature reserve" which means we'll never have back neighbors. That was one of the huge selling points because it seems like most places try to cram in as many houses as possible.
4. In honor of our big decision, I made pizza. For the rest of the night, and well into the morning, I threw up that pizza. And everything else I've eaten in the past 5 years of my life. I seriously lost 3 pounds. But I'm starting to feel a little bit better. Dan has been so sweet to me while I've been sick and I really appreciate him!
5. My mariokart skills have somehow plummeted drastically in the past week. Dan has crushed me every time.
That's all for now.

throwing up...maybe you are pregnant again. sam looks presh. did you take off that helmet just for the pictures, or because it was his 1 hour of the day without it? no cheating! i'm excited for your house. i want to make a dream house.
Mariokart is a complex cocktail of skill, luck, consistency, and guts. We all go through our ups and downs. Even the slightest trip through the grass or screwy angle when leaving a jump, and you're _umbled by the difficulty--and majesty--of the game.
Maybe you have more blog friends now than you did when you were pregnant :)
Congrats on building a house! That is so awesome! I'm really excited for you guys. You'll need to post pics of it.
Food poisoning is no fun. I'm glad you are feeling better and that you at least got a few pounds off from your suffering!
Congrats on the house sounds plush.
p.s. you should really step it up to mariokart for wii. It's a whole new world.
Congrats on the house. Sounds like a good time. Sorry you've been sick. Cream of Wheat is good to eat. Tastes the same both times.
Isn't it crazy becoming an adult?!? Buying a house, having a kid and making gross pizza!?! Congrats on the house, I can't wait to see pics of the new place. Can't beat our 80 year old house! Just kidding.
plus if you rocked the wii we could have big grand royal races via he internets....
Congrats on the new house! That's super exciting! Sam continues to be adorable! Have fun with that poopie! I've never experienced that and would have no idea where to start!!
That is so exciting about your house!! Congratulations! Humble sounds like a fun town to be from!
Very exciting! (about the house, not poop or vomit) I'm looking forward to seeing pictures. Awesome!
So Kristen...I've been totally out of the blogging mode for a few weeks, so sorry this is totally delayed, but congratulations on the house! Woo hoo! And I love all the perks, like the nature reserve and the pools and church-owned land and everything. It sounds perfect! I am so happy for y'all. And Sam looks 100% cute in his helmet (and without, of course). He just can't go wrong. I'm sorry about the pizza...at least you got 3 fewer pounds out of the deal! And dont' worry about Mariokart--just shake it off and you'll be back to your old self in no time.
