The Big 0-3!

WESTON IS THREE TODAY!!!

HUZZAH!

We had a little birthday party this morning with a few of his buddies, and now Tim and Weston are out picking up a pizza for our "family lunch party" (since I have to work this evening). So, pictures are still forthcoming. I can't believe my baby is three!!! Three. Wowzers. All of a sudden he seems so OLD.

Anyway... WOW. It's been a long time since I've blogged. If you haven't realized yet, I pretty much stop blogging whenever I'm stressed/worried/depressed. And yes, there has been a lot of that. We are moving to a new apartment in two weeks (we think), and that has required a lot of time and planning. I'm in my third trimester now, and things are getting progressively more exciting and more uncomfortable. Things have been very busy with my church calling (we just had a big dinner for all the young women and their parents). Weston is slowly (but not so surely) potty-training. And Tim and I have been anxious and stressed about other things lately, too. BLAH! Some day we'll get this whole "life" thing down pat, I'm tellin' ya. :-)

Anyway, for now, think happy thoughts for Weston on his special day, if you don't mind. I'll be back soon!! Lovies to all!

I Can't Draw... And Other Randomness

I think that Weston has learned that Daddy can draw things that look like what they are. The problem is that he seems to think that, naturally, Mommy must be able to, too. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I CANNOT DRAW.

Case in point: one day, Weston and I were looking at a picture book of deserts. Then, we started drawing, and he drew a squiggly line that he said was the desert. Then he asked me to draw a picture of the Cave of Wonders (from Aladdin) next to his desert. For your information, this is what the Cave of Wonders looks like:
So, I made my absolute, 100% best effort to reproduce the Cave of Wonders next to his desert drawing:

Yeah. I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING. I showed it to Tim later, and he said that it looked more like a cat-luchador (thanks, hon). Being the loving, supportive fellow that he is, he even fleshed it out for me a little better:

In other news, Tulsa got LOTS of snow this week:

Fortunately, a tasty, tasty surprise from Grandma helped dispel the cabin fever (thanks to daMawma!!!):

Here's that 25-week belly (we're gettin' good and fat over here!):

And finally... this is how we found Weston, asleep, one night around midnight:

(We had to shove him inch by inch towards the wall as we attempted to open the door. Finally I managed to squeeze into his room to take a picture!)
