Food & Fitness

We have been focusing more attention on exercising and eating healthier. I think Titan has enjoyed it most of all. He loves to assist me in the kitchen. One day while cutting up celery he decided it would be funner to put the celery in a dish of water with food coloring. He enjoyed himself ... and I was able to finish cooking dinner. Win-Win.

We have also enjoyed exercising together. He especially likes to do ZUMBA with me. One night Jeff was doing an ab section of P90X and Titan was right there doing it with him. It was so cute! Needless to say I did not join along- I was too busy watching Titan and enjoying all his facial expressions.  It is so adorable when he tells me - "Mom look at me. I am getting big muscles"

A celebration dance when all the hard work was done!

Imagination & Mud!

The past month has flew by..... time has a way of doing that. Titan has started to really LOVE playing with other kids. Almost every night he asks me if he can play with Thomas tomorrow. Titan looks up to Thomas so much and they have such fun playing together. I love watching them play. They have huge imaginations and are constantly making up new games to play and pretend. Our house has been a jungle, lions den, rocket, dragon nest, viking ship, zoo... the list goes on and on.

That imagination has lead to many enjoyable experiences. Including- Taking the sticks out of my decorative vase and sticking them in the holes (the ones where the screws are) in his crib.

This has less to do with imagination and more to do with being 100% boy and seeing a mud puddle. He was having a blast jumping in this mud puddle and watching it splash all over his clothes.... he was less exctied when he splashed himself in the face. There is something exhilirating about landing in a puddle of muc and feeling it squish everywhere, no matter what age you are. These are the joys of my life! Thank you Titan for reminding me to focus on these simple treasures.

Catching up on 2011!

Well, I have realized that scrapbooking is way to time consuming so I am going to blog instead. I am a little behind already on all the amazing things Titan is doing, learning, saying. So here it goes. The other day we were blessed with beautiful weather and we took advantage of it by cleaning out the garage (I know not the most exciting thing but the good news is I can enter the garage without dread now!) Well Titan was playing and when I looked over to check on him he was shoveling dirt into the compartment in his little car. It was so funny how careful he was being about getting it in there just right. I think he watched us haul dirt all around our yard last summer a few too many times!

Ok I can tell I have not blogged for a long time I can't figure out how to rotate the pictures!

Short update on our day to day. I am still working full time as a home health and hospice nurse. Jeff is a busy man working for the UHP and freightliner and doing side mechanic jobs in our garage. Titan is growing like a weed! I can not believe he is already 2 years old! We love our new home and have been here for year now. Here are some randome pics to share.

 This is his sad face when he was told he needed to share his new truck! Little stinker!

 First time sledding on New Years Day! (Sadly I did not get any pics of Jeff sledding with our 2 labs.... That was hilarious!)

 Titan is drinking Sprite in this cup and he keeps saying "it tastes sour" it was so cute!

 TJ with Uncle David after getting set apart for his mission. Go Elder David!

 Our favorite place to be... papa and nana's cabin!

Titan got this zhu-zhu pet from grandma Anderson and he loves it! It is named spotie and he carries it around everywhere. One day he was hugging it and told me. "Mom this is my friend. He loves me. He is so cute huh mom" It makes my day to hear him say things like that!
