Kendra, this is for you

A friendly reminder from Kendra made me realize that I have been rather terrible at this blogging thing...which is hypocritical, because I love the people who update regularly.

My Gramma gave Cade her old high chair.  I love having the first grandchild/great-grandchild on my side of the family, because that means that we get all the stuff that no one wants anymore.  Kim and Gary, well, they're out of luck.  We have everything.  It's been nice to have all 3 of us at the table (which only happens on Sundays because Aaron has to work full-time, so he works late) eating dinner.  We've been working on feeding him just what we eat, because I really don't want to be one of those moms that has to make 3 or 4 different meals to satisfy my kids.

 

{In my nutrition class, we had to read a book by Ellyn Satter that talked about the division of responsibility when it comes to eating.  She says that parents are responsible for what is served and when it is served, and that children are responsible for what they eat and how much they eat.}

So we had Cade up at the table with us, and we fed him pumpkin bread, peaches, and hash browns.  He LOVED it.  I still haven't found anything that he doesn't like.  

Speaking of Cade, he is the reason that none of my Christmas decorations are up yet.  Even though he can't crawl--that does not stop him from getting everywhere.  Looks like my days of cute decorations are over for now.  We're thinking of putting the tree up on the coffee table so it's more out of reach of curious mouths.  

 Aaron has been interviewing with a bunch of different financial companies.  I was telling my mom that I was really jealous of some of my friends who are going to law school, medical school, dental school, and optometry school, because they don't have to look for jobs, but she reminded me that, that part is just getting put off for a couple more years, so, I guess it evens out in the end. 

I thought I knew which job I wanted Aaron to get--but the more job interviews he gets--well, my mind changes.  I thought I wanted him to take the job at Heritage Financial Group, but after finding out that they don't offer any leads at all, and that AXA Financial in Salt Lake does, well now I want AXA--until I learn about something else.

A couple of months ago, I started working for ChaCha, basically, I answer questions that people text to ChaCha, and then send them back.  I've gotten some pretty funny ones.  One today wanted to know if they could find their soulmate by testing DNA (and I actually found an answer for it on the internet).  I get lots of kids who want me to do their homework for them (I like those, they pay more), and someone wanted to know if a kangaroo or a bullet was faster (it took all my self control to not say, duh).  Aaron likes to come home and have me read out the best ones from the day.  I'm saving up my pennies to get Cade's pictures taken by Skye Johansen.  She's expensive, but I love her pictures. 

(what my little hurricane has been up to lately.  He loves anything that crinkles)
