nightmares or happy fluffy dreams?

so the other morning this is what i woke to find on kaseys side of the bed...

was he running from the law after committing a horrible crime? was his body engulfed in flames and had engaged in the 'stop, drop and roll' routine? or was he dancing and singing on a hill side europe? i'll never know...

merrick these days

merrick has quite the explosive personality these days...

(poor guy has baby acne cause mommy eats too much dairy... sorry, working on that son...)

he and i take his second nap together in my bed before daddy comes home from work to wake us up... when he does merrick wakes up with a smile like he usually does (except today... a bit grumpy). he loves flashing those dimples... one day i'll catch it on film... one good looking kid! the best is when he smiles in his sleep... and even lets out a chuckle with it!

"what are you dreaming about son?"

and he also does a blue steal look from zoolander (the puckered lips) when he is getting ready to fut & poop... then once this task is completed he laughs and smiles at himself...

total boy.

which brings me to this photo... kasey was holding him yesterday after work, when merrick started to get real fussy. i took him thinking he needed a bum change and when i was getting to it i noticed this...









yeah...

i called kasey in to check the damage, he started checking his own shirt for damage!
don't worry, we got it all cleaned up, and dad is going to be okay...

until next time...

okay, the drawing is now open!

all you need to do when you leave a comment is let me know what you are wanting to win (earrings, ring, magnets), then jord will draw two names.
the drawing will end on 2/11/09, next wednesday, so get them in!

introducing mytumbleweeds

well, i thought that with this being my 100th post,
that i would introduce mytumbleweeds on etsy. yes yes, i set up shop finally...
i have only a handful of my things up just to see how it goes.
with magnets, rings and earrings on there now...
and frames and flower presses (hopefully i'll have those on this weekend...)
what do you think?

should we have a drawing?

me and daddy

hey, arn't you lucky, two posts from me today!
i just couldn't resist posting this photo i took of him and daddy.

one month!

one month?

where does the time go? all little koa and i have been doing is eat, sleep, eat and sleep some more... well at least he does. i try to sleep but i still feel like i have tons to do... oh well... i'm beginning to understand the power of sleep. i just wish that it wasn't so cold and wet outside... koa and i need to get out of these four walls. maybe we'll go for a drive today when daddy gets home.
i love this photo up top, he looks like his head is an orange on a tooth pick! don't worry, he is very proportioned! and once again, take his cloths off and he stops crying...

he is still such a little guy, but i'm guessing that he gained a pound this last week. yay 8 pounds, we'll see...

my little man is just over three weeks old! i can't believe it, it seems like he has been around a lot longer then that! my how time flies... i love being home with him and staring at him just check out the world. i wonder what he thinks?

he had his first big boy tub this week... i tell you what, this little guy loves being naked...
could this spell trouble?
he also on his tummy time on monday surprised us and rolled over to his back!

he was having a fit earlier this week when he was put in his car seat... we were on our way over to kaseys dad's house and the car suddenly fell silent. when we got to the house and lifted the blanket this is what we found. lights out! he was fussing and moving around so much that his beenie worked it way down over his eyes and mouth... good thing he can breathe out of his mouth!

okay, so nevermind that merrick is almost three weeks old, i just haven't had anytime to get online to post about it... i've been having to much fun being his mother, and
spending time with mine.
lifes been a major whirl these past three weeks and i'm glad that i have been right in the middle of it. merrick wakes me at the same time every night... 12am, 3am and 6am. he is a great eater, cries only when he is gassy, and carries my mothers deep dimples and my fathers butt chin. he falls asleep on his own in his crib, but somehow sneaks out and is found sleeping on dads chest watching hunting.

last night we went to the draper temple open house. it was great... the last open house that i had been too was mt. timpanogos. the draper temple was beautiful! i can't wait til it is open for temple work. i'm glad that my mom was able to come with us and that merrick slept the whole time and only woke as we were walking to the car...

thank you mom for coming out and helping me. i really enjoy when you come to visit. i miss you so much and feel jealous of my siblings that have you everyday. i'm sad that you had to go home today.
i love you.

hello everyone

i finally made it!

my name is
merrick kekoa farmer hendersoni was born tuesday night, december 3oth 2008.
i weighed 6 lbs 15 oz and i am 20 inches long.

my mommy cried when she met me.

my daddy and mommy were so tired when i got here. they had been at the hospital for 26 hours already. my mommy had to be induced cause i was taking to long.

my sister jordan is really cool too.
she likes to hold me and just giggles the whole time!

and that she is sorry that it took so long to get these up...
her internet wasn't working.
