Milestones






Wyatt's a swimmer! (Okay, maybe for just a few strokes, but hey he's keeping his head above water so he's as good as I am...) We have just finished a session of swimming lessons and we had so much fun. Wyatt absolutely loves swimming and he's really starting to get the hang of it. I love watching him learn new things!

Tagged

I think I've been tagged to share 5 things on my to-do list:

1- Go to the grocery store (I've been procrastinating for toooo long)
2- Make and put up a sign @ our triplex.
3- Call my brother.
4- Call my sister.
5- Go shopping for Wyatt for Easter
6- Return some pants to the Gap.
7- Make a poster for "Wyatt's Special Day" at preschool
Ooops, I gave you a few bonuses, I was only supposed to do 5... (the list goes on & on...)

On a day like today...

I need to remember some happy things, so...
1 - I've got a great husband who is ALWAYS good to me (even when I barely deserve it).
2 - I've got the greatest kid that was ever born on this earth. (And I'm not the least bit biased).
3 - Good thing for my family who really cares about each other and comes through for each other when we need them.
4 - I've got great friends who invite us over for homemade pasta night and it actually turns out DELISH!
5 - Italian Village has good pizza benders which I indulged in last night.
6 - The REI sale yesterday yielded a new extreme sports helmet for Steve (and possibly me and even Wyatt - he has a huge head, but you couldn't even tell, could ya?)and that was enough to bring a big smile to Steve's face for the last 24 hours.
7 - My mother in law took Wyatt for all night Friday and made us a big breakfast on Saturday morning when we (finally) came to pick him up.
8 - It's Easter candy time - Reese's Eggs! yum
9 - It snowed hard so maybe we'll go snowboarding again.
10 - See post below regarding new houseboat!!!

The "Cartouche"



My sweet Mother-in-Law has purchased a new houseboat at Lake Powell - "The Cartouche" (I don't know who gave it it's lovely name?). It's being built now and is supposed to be completed by our trip to Lake Powell at the end of June. Didn't need a new houseboat - the "old" one was beautiful, but we're excited none-the-less! If anyone's interested in a share, here's the blurb about it from the builder:

New Luxury Yacht-styled houseboat "Cartouche" to be located in Bullfrog slip summer 2008.

Boat to be 72 x 18 triple deck (open sun-deck) with all amenities. Four private bedrooms, 2 baths, stainless appliances, granite countertops, active flybridge, thrusters, refrigerated air conditioning, twin 5.7L V-8s, 25kW Safe-CO genset.


Boat currently under construction by Desert Shore Houseboats. see www.desertshore.com for portfolio of DSH boats at Lake Powell.


Here's a pic of the "old" boat The Accolade, which we LOVED!

Look who's graduating...

I guess this means he really will start kindergarten next year. I wish I could freeze him just the way he is for a few years...
