These last few weeks have been crazy

First, I went to Las Vegas with some friends from work (so.much.fun). I got back on a Wednesday, was back for 3 days and then left on Saturday morning for a family reunion in Idaho. On our way back over the pass on I-90 we started hearing a thunking under our feet. It started getting really bad so we decided to pull over. Before we got to the side we heard one more loud Ka-Chunk under our feet & then a pop. Our car filled with smoke & Garrett slammed on the breaks. We got out of the car quickly & realized 3 of the air bags had gone off. We each had a few bruises and a few cuts but were ok other than that. My car however was not ok. With all the damage to the airbags and seatbelts the total bill came to over $10,000.00. Our insurance company deemed it a total loss since our car was worth only $7500. So, now we're on the hunt for a new car. Then a few nights ago there was a murder just 150-ish feet away from our house.

I haven't had any time to work on photos the last few weeks. I miss it. So, for you, I give you my new favorite.

Jager is crazy 2.0

If you've been a follower of my blog for long you'll know that our dog Jager drives me crazy. It's not that he's a bad dog, he's usually a pretty good dog. He's just clueless. However, every once in awhile I get a good laugh out of him.

Garrett trained him to keep treats on his nose and wait for his cue.

"Pleeeeeeaaaase, can I eat the waffle nowwwwww???"

TTT

1. Garrett & I took Connor up to his family's cabin in the San Juan islands this weekend. A few hiccups in the transportation but we had fun.

2. Loving my new camera :)

3. I took Connor on the swing 2 times & Garrett took him on once. We thought he would love it but he just sat there. Maybe he was just taking it all in.

4. Jager is a much "mellow-er" dog when he is at the cabin. He gets to run around tons and wears himself out.

5. We are going up again in July w/ Nick & Carrie and their little son John (who is 3 months older than Connor). I'm so excited because we'll be there for a whole week & I'll have another mom to keep me company.

6. Connor has a tiny corner of his first tooth coming through. Sorry Garrett, I forgot to tell you earlier.

7. I wish this cough would go away. It's not as bad as it was but it just keeps hanging on.

8. I haven't seen my sister since Friday. I miss her :( Come have lunch with me tomorrow.

9. Connor used to love his jumperoo but now that he is mobile he seems to want nothing to do with it. I miss the days of being able to put him somewhere for a minute and know he was going to be there when I came back. That being said, I wouldn't want to go back. He's such a happier boy now.

10. Pictures from this weekend :)










Here's a bonus picture of Connor's new favorite hobby.
