I've Created A Monster...

I really have.

But how can you resist this cute face!?!


We just got home from our little trip a few hours ago, thank the good Lord, safe and sound. I'll be working the next few days and I'm kinda glad because I need a break from this little guy. He's so needy (SPOILED!)

Now I know he can't get around anymore but he's milking it for all it's worth let me tell you. And he still doesn't like his new cart. I put him in it today and made him walk around a bit. He made a beeline for the motorhome steps. No exercise for this one. He wants to be carried around all day.

He wants to sit in my lap, or right next to me, touching me, ALL THE TIME. If I put him down on a blanket on the floor, he cries, LOUDLY, to get my attention.

I put him on the floor when we got home so I could get some stuff out of the motorhome and I could hear his cries all the way in the garage.

And to top it all off, I'm so sick of smelling like urine. He dribbles. I know he can't help it.

So the break will be good. I've been cooped up with Jake for the last 6 days and truthfully, he's like having a newborn 24/7.

I've created a monster. I think it's time for this mom to get tough.

Phoenix or Bust

After a long day on the road, we're finally here. Courtney (little sis) is able to move into her apartment at 8:00am tomorrow and you bet we'll be out the door early in order to avoid the heat. At one point today, the gauge in our motorhome said it was 120 degrees outside. I don't know if it was accurate but if you guessed the temp to be at least 110 degrees you'd be pretty close I'm sure, if not on the low side.

We started off the day with a nourishing breakfast...7 of us in all. We then caravaned with hubby, myself, and Jake in our motorhome. Courtney and her best friend Mackenzie driving in Courtney's car and then Mackenzie's dad, her boyfriend Tim, and her sister Macey following in dad's truck which was pulling Mackenzie's car. Mackenzie stayed home last year and went to school at our local community college. Lucky for Courtney, Mackenzie was accepted at ASU also and they will be roommates as of tomorrow. This is a dream come true for them and I'm thrilled.

Here are a few pictures from the day...

ASU bound...again!

Jake loves the motorhome, or should I say my lap! So this is how we roll...




I finally remembered to bring my iPod so I was good to go. It made the drive quite enjoyable actually.

While I'm here in Arizona I'll be getting together with 3, maybe 4 blogging buddies. I've never met any blog friends in real life so I'm very excited. I'll take pictures and let you know all about it...I can't wait!

I'm going to leave you with a picture of my sister Kim, Courtney, and myself from dinner last night. I don't get to see Kim much and it's crazy. We had such an enjoyable time that there's no excuse for us not to see each other more often. I'm definitely going to work on that one.
