The Boot Scootin' Nugget

Hunter took his very first steps today! This is a major milestone moment for my little guy and I'm so proud of him! The bad part was that I almost missed it! My friend Maren usually watches Hunter for me on Tuesdays and Thursdays while I go to class. Tonight, however, Maren wasn't available so Hunter went to Mamaw and Papaw's. When I went to pick him up I walked into Mamaw's and it looked like a tornado had hit. I guess one kind of did, Tornado Hunter! She walked down the stairs with a half-naked little nugget who was so excited to see his mommy!We sat down in the living room and Hunter went over to this cabinet and pulled up, then he just turned and walked a few steps to his toys! I was like oh my gosh!!! I'm super excited and just had to let everyone know!

Help! I'm Drowning in a Sea of Laundry!

So Ryan has been checking up on my blogging. One might feel flattered for their boyfriend to care about little things like a Mommy*Wood blog. I wish that was the case. Ryan just wanted me to inform everyone that I'm not as realistic as I should be in my postings. I was kind of peeved about this little remark and wanted to know how so? He says that I just talk about the happy fairytale type of stuff, not the nitty, gritty, reality of it all. So here is whats going on inside of my apartment right now: there are several small mountains sprouting up everywhere! Of course they're not actual mountains, but mounds of dirty laundry that I keep putting off washing. There are also about a million toys laying around everywhere. Oh, and I don't think I have any clean underwear to wear tomorrow. Our apartment is tiny and cluttered to sum it up in a nutshell. I am the free spirited one who doesn't really sweat the small stuff, where as Ryan is a total neat freak! We are basically complete opposites in this area. I mean really who wants to sit at home and wash clothes all day when you could be out enjoying this beautiful spring weather? Not me, that's for sure. Maybe I'm being lazy and irresponsible. Maybe I'm not being the best housewife. I am having fun living though. Ryan is right, I do need to do laundry, and in time I will. Maybe I'll surprise him tomorrow when he gets home from work with a clean house and a yummy dinner! It could be fun right? Like in the movies when the husband gets off work and comes home to his wife wearing only an apron finishing up dinner. Ok so tomorrow's agenda- Clean the apartment (boo) wash clothes (double boo) and make Ry something yummy. Keep your fingers crossed that by some miracle I pull this off!

Hey, let's get a boat!

So today we took a trip to Bass Pro Shop. I know what you're thinking, me at Bass Pro Shop, I know trust me. It's not really my scene but Ryan wants to get a boat so where the BF goes I go. Once we got there Ryan led me over to the boats. We passed by the wake-boarding boats, I thought oh well maybe he wants a Pontoon boat. We passed by the Pontoon boats...uh oh. Not...the...fishing boats!!!My picture of laying out in the sun and tubing were shattered by this, this Bass Tracker! Ryan and his Papaw are thinking about buying one so that they can fish together, and take Hunter and teach him how to fish. I thought about it and isn't that what its really all about? I am all about family bonding and doing things together so I guess in the long run the "fishing boat" might not be such a bad idea. I put myself in check and stopped acting like a bratty teenager. Not that I acted out or anything I was just a little taken off guard by the, not-so Malibu, fishing boat. I guess you can still lay out in the sun on a fishing boat, right? I might not be as fancy as the wake-borders but I'll still be 1) on the lake 2) getting some much needed sun and 3)I'll be with the two loves of my life. Beat that Malibu boat!

Pictures from the Zoo!

A Day at the Zoo.

So today was B-E-A-Utiful to say the least, and the perfect day for a trip to the zoo. Not to mention that the characters from Yo Gabba Gabba were there too! Of course this perfect day wasn't without its flaws.To start the trip off Hunter's stroller wouldn't fit in the car with all four kids, myself, and Ryan's aunt Carla. What to do? Strap it to the top of the vehicle with bungee cords, duh! We totally looked like the Clampets. After we made it to the zoo the day was flawless: sunshine, happy babies, and all of the animals were out and about! Actually WAIT- there was one major flaw, Hunter had the dirtiest diaper in the entire world! I am not even being the least bit sarcastic either! He had some how managed to poop out a gallon of what looked like carrots and he had it all the way up his stomach. Grosso, I know. It didn't make things any better that I had to change him on a log bench while people were walking by. Shhhew! One poopy diaper and a wardrobe change later we were off to the petting zoo!
Now we are both home and ready for the 3 B's.
Bath-Bottle-Bedtime
Stay tuned :)

Day uno of de Blog

So I finally broke down and decided to do the whole blogging thing, I guess you can say I'm a sucker for trends : ) This being my first official blog post I should probably introduce myself...Ahem...I am basically a 21 year old soccer mom. Boring? Maybe to some, but I feel that my life is full of great things that the world needs to know about! Or maybe I just need an outlet to vent. Who knows? I live for trashy celeb gossip magazines and E news. I used to fantasize about being famous and wearing big sunglasses even when it wasn't sunny out. ( bad, I know) But I have had one of the biggest reality checks that one could ever get, a child. With the birth of my son Hunter I've had a major eye-opening experience and realized ,that as much as I hate to admit, the world no longer revolves around Lindsey. So get ready to join me on my journey at motherhood, who knows where we will end up!
