Our Sunday

Funny story.

We had some errands to run this afternoon, and among them was getting Sutton a new airplane since Diesel destroyed his (as I told you in the last post). We thought Dollar General would have some.

While there, we saw that they had cheap food, so I started grabbing some things for dinner this week. My arms quickly became full, and while it was evident that I needed a cart, I just didn't get one.

Bad move.

The spaghetti sauce jar slipped out of my arm and shattered on the floor. Great.

I was preoccupied with being embarrassed that I broke something and didn't notice the blood coming from my foot til the cashier asked if I was okay. Adam left to go get a cart and the cashier left to go get some paper towels, and in that short 2 minutes, my foot bled. And bled. And bled. My entire flip flop was in a pool of blood. (I seriously kept thinking about Twilight and vampires, lol.)

The cashier/manager lady suggested going to the ER to make sure there wasn't any glass in the wound. I sat on the floor in the Dollar General for probably close to 30 minutes while she figured out the protocol for the incident, and then we headed to the ER.

I was asked 3 times what happened, and the doctor said "Spaghetti sauce? That's a new one. Is that spaghetti sauce on your toe?"

It was.

See that tiny cut on my left foot? How could that bleed so much? They did some x-rays to check for glass, but there wasn't any. So I got a tetanus and a band-aid and they sent me home. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Funny antecdote...my room was right across from the nurses' station and my door was open. While waiting for my shot, I heard one of the nurses say "Are you going to go stab 6?" I was in room 6. :)

Gross.

To end on a better note, I took this picture on my phone yesterday of Sutton sleeping on the way home from the pool and Target. His carseat in my car is narrower and has headrests on either side. But we were in Adam's car, and that carseat is wide open, so he wasn't used to it and just kept falling lower and lower as he slept. :)

Cornered.

Another video in the Puppy-Chasing Saga. Diesel got his revenge though...later on he chewed that airplane into tiny bits.

Chasin Puppies

This morning while I was doing dishes, Sutton was running around the house in his walker chasing the puppies and laughing hysterically. I only caught a little of the maniacal laugh on video...

Excuses and Red Hot Apples

HI!

Miss me?

When I first had Sutton and he was just a lump of human who slept all the time, I always though "Gosh, this is a breeze! I still have tons of time to myself, I can blog and read and nap. I don't know what people are always complaining about being so busy when they have kids..."

Well...

SUTTON IS CRAZY AND HILARIOUS AND ALWAYS GETTING INTO EVERYTHING.

So, I haven't had as much time to blog. Or take pictures. Sad.

It's been real hot out too. Like 110* hot. So those are my excuses. Satisfied? :)

This weekend is my first weekend at home without a wedding since MAY and I'm so excited. SO excited. We went to the pool yesterday and plan on going again today. We might even make it to church this weekend! Our church life has been neglected, I'm sad to say, and I miss it.

The even better news is that I have the next TWO weekends off also! And I have fun fun things planned. Hopefully photos will be involved.

I found some old pictures on a memory card from back in April. Sutton looks so much different in these photos. We were having dinner with Luis and Val, and they'd brought red hots, and Val started telling us about this recipe her mom made when she was little that was melted red hots and apples. So of course we googled the recipe and tried it.

It was...interesting. And I spilled it on my placemat. But fun!

The men did the cooking. For a change. :) Just kidding. Adam usually does the cooking in our house.

Meanwhile, Val and I played with Sutton.

Flyin'

Adam bought this little foam airplane for Sutton at Hobby Lobby. Best $2 ever spent. Sutton LOVES it. We don't understand his love for airplanes because there's no way he could already realize that his Daddy loves them...but maybe he's smarter than we think.

You don't see him doing it for very long in this video, but he likes to "fly" the plane around in the air and make airplane noises. Sometimes he gets so loud he's yelling. He'll do it in his carseat for like 10 minutes. So funny.

Mudwater Tri 7.10.11

Yesterday morning, in the wee hours, Adam and our friend Ryan headed over to Lake Afton to compete in their second triathlon. The wives (Risa and I) and Sutton waited til a bit of a more decent hour (but still...6:30am...eww) before we left to go watch.

Neither of us were able to watch them in their first tri, so it was really cool to see them compete. We both just kept saying how proud we were of them!

Despite the early hour, the heat was ridiculous. It ended up getting up to like 110* yesterday afternoon, so even at 9am, we were sweating buckets. I can't imagine how bad it was for the athletes.

I took along my nice camera and got some photos of our boys! They started out swimming...

Our friend Liz was there competing as well!

Adam jogging into the transition area to get ready to bike.

Ryan leaving transition.

 This was the longest portion we had to wait to see them again. It was hard to try to get pictures when we had no idea who was coming til they were right there. But luckily, I didn't miss either of them.

Adam saw us on the sidelines and said a quick "Hello!" to Sutton before dismounting and getting ready for his run.

We got to see them about halfway through their run, still going strong but feeling the heat.

Saying hi to Sutton again. Sutton was a.n.g.r.y. at this point. Hot and tired.

Finally the finish!!! Here's Ryan...

And Adam. Good job guys, we're so proud of you and how well you did! Can't wait to cheer you on at the next one!

4-Wheelin'

Just a little video to show Uncle Michael and Aunt Sara how much Sutton loves his 4-wheeler they gave him for his birthday. When they first gave it to him, he was way too wobbly to ride it alone, but now he can cruise around all by himself!
