He Just Gets Cuter Every Day!

Cyrus has almost officially turned in his army crawl for the real thing! It's the cutest thing ever, he picks his arms up so much that he looks like a windmill. You'd think he'd try little steps, but he likes to be dramatic, and this way he gets that much more attention right? I tried to get it on video, but every time I got it out and tried to get him to crawl to me he crawled and cried, which made me smile, but is definitely not as cute as when he crawls and laughs. :) He followed me around the house all day, but didn't venture far into the kitchen. He likes to knock on the floor, but its too slippery for him to really get anywhere. He is also teething. He has a big bump on his bottom gum he hates to have touched, is drooling like a fountain, and it sounds like we've got awhile before it breaks. So, we're heading out to the store tonight to pick up some baby orajel, and we'll hope to have a few less nights of him waking up screaming. Poor kid, getting teeth must be super painful. And just think, this is only the first one. We still have an entire mouth to fill!

Trav's First Deer Hunt

Apparently hunting season is upon us! At least that's what our fridge and freezer would tell you if you took a peek inside. That may be more exciting to some than the apple juice and leftovers that were in there before, but this is still new to us. Travis officially went on his first deer hunt on opening day for rifles, and came home with his very first deer. Here's his story (in my words):

Travis met up with Brian (my bro-in-law) early Saturday morning to get a good early start hiking up the mountain. They had gotten sole permission from the landowners where brian's parents used to live to hunt, and were so excited because scouting out earlier they had seen deer up the mountain there. At noon Trav called to say after running up the mountain all morning they had eaten all their snacks and were starving and tired. Their solution? Travis called his uncle to see if any of his corn fields were uncut. Lucky for them, there was one left. So after coming in for lunch and to check on their babies, they headed out to the cornfield. A few hours later Travis had gotten a 3 x 4 cornfed buck and Brian got a deer of his own as well. It sounds a little like cheating to me, but they got to hunt the lazy way. Find a deer in a field, shoot it, throw it in the truck, and string it up on the tractor to gut it. But either way, he was VERY excited about getting his first deer, and was proud of the size.
Even though Cyrus is too small for his first hunt (and hopefully will be for awhile!) he did get outfitted for it. :)

Husband quirks? Where do I begin?

Rules: link the person that tagged you, mention these rules on your blog, tell 6 quirks of your siginficant other, and tag 6 fellow bloggers! Got it, lets go!

I was tagged by Rylee.

1. Travis is an extremely deep sleeper. I'm jealous because EVERYTHING wakes me up. Funny story... Our first year we were married we went to Yellowstone on vacation and around 3:00 there was a big bang, and he had rolled off the bed between the 2 queen beds in our room. I almost died laughing as he was sprawling around trying to get up. I helped him back up into bed and he went right to sleep. The next morning he commented, "I had the weirdest dream that I fell out of bed!" He sleeps like a log.
2. He loves cartoons. Old classics (Transformers, TMNT), asian drawn (I don't know the names of these) , adult (South Park, Family Guy, Aquateen, King of the Hill). For some reason animation just draws him right in. (Ha ha, that pun happened on its own)
3. He is extremely good with his hands, not a surprise that he's an electrician. He can do absolutely anything he puts his mind to. He got it from his dad. When he was younger, his dad built a semi-truck from the ground up. I don't know anyone who would even try that.
4. He wears about ten pairs of socks in the winter. I don't know how they even fit in his shoes.
5. He loves to read, but almost refuses to do it because when he starts a book he can't stop. He only starts books on vacations.
6. His head is full of random information, but he's a little random so I shouldn't be surprised. If you ever have a weird question, he is definitely the person to ask.

I love you, kid!

I tag: Lauren, Melissa, Kristen, and anyone else who would like to play. This was more fun than quirks about me! Nice thinking Rylee!

Who are you?

You are intelligent, outgoing & stylish. A true girly girl, you love shopping & makeovers. Although you are a generous friend, you can be coy, tricky & very persuasive in order to get your way. You are known to zone out occasionally during conversations, but your friends forgive you because you are understanding, supportive & know how to throw one heck of a party!

I don't know, does this sound like me? There's definitely some truth in it, although I hate to admit to zoning out during conversations! :)
