Mr. Charming

I decided to sign up Knox for the I'm a Little Cutie baby contest in Columbus for Columbus Days. It rained on us all morning and was cold, but it was still fun. Knox won 2nd place in the 7-12 month division! I bought him a coyboy hat and boots and when he got up to the judges, he performed as usual! I think he should have on first (of course :-) ) but, the little girl who did win was a cutie too! And she was almost 12 months, so she performed more! Even my friend Kathy brought her daughter Maddie. Maddie is 6 days older than Knox.

She did it again!

Knox had his six month pictures taken in July with Bethany. Wow, she never lets me down. This time there were 160 images after all was said and done. It was a hot Friday afternoon, but Knox rocked the photo shoot! I will save you all and post only a few here! (you can see them all on facebook, because I know everyone cares as much as I do! (jk) Thanks again Bethany! I can't wait for his 9 month pictures and our Buhl family photos!

Mrs. Domestic

Just call me little Susie homemaker. I made a ton of baby food on Sunday morning. It was kinda fun but time consuming. The green beans are from the garden everything else (carrots and peas) were bought vegetables. I might try this again!

Just like Daddy!

Leave it to the professionals!

So my awesome sister-in-law Jenny sent Knox some clothes! They are adorable and very appreciated. So... I decided that since I was a super-mom that can do everything: work, clean, do crafts, make baby food, breastfeed and take pictures, I would put Knox in all of his cute little outfits, he would sit and let me take his picture, just like he does when we go to Bethany's! Ha! Yeah, Right! Instead he wanted to show everyone his new tricks. I thought I would share them with you!

He is really good at sitting up now! I can prop him on something and he usually stays for a short period of time, until he realizes that he hasn't moved in three seconds!

Here he goes! That didn't last long!

Little Mr. Cool Pants thinks he is so big that he can almost crawl now. There is no sitting like a good little boy anymore! He thinks the carpet is better on the other side of the living room.

Well at least I tried to take pictures. Now I know why we pay Bethany! At least he had fun! I was a little stressed!





Nap Time Fights Start Already!

Yesterday evening Knox was crabby! I had just picked him up from daycare and the minute we walked in the door it started. The whining, and the crying every time I put him down. His eyes were pure red. He needed a nap and I needed supper! So, I tried rocking him. He fought and fought! Kicked and whined. Would take is pacifier out and chew on it. He would NOT go to sleep. So, I gave up. I put him on the floor to play. MISTAKE! Then the tears came out. So I finally put him in the swing that has sat in our living room for two months unused. He calmed down. So I went to change my clothes. I came out to find him playing with the toys quietly, sucking on his pacifier. I went in the kitchen to start making supper and after a few minutes, I didn't hear anything. This is how I found him...

The picture doesn't really do the situation justice. His arm is hanging over the side. It looks as if he was almost escaped from the swing when he suddenly fell asleep. I knew he was tired. He knew he was tired. But it had to be on his terms. There is no negotiating with a 6 month old baby! DUH! What was I thinking?

I emailed this picture to my parents. The subject of the message what Little Shit. My mom asked me this morning if I had sent this out to everyone calling him a little shit. I hadn't until now. Those were only a few of my thoughts at the time. I had worse things running through my mind.

I love the kid to death, but he may just send me to the nut house by the time this parenting thing is done!

Father's Day

We had a full weekend with all of the fathers in our lives! On Saturday, we spent the day with Jeremy, Christian and mom and dad. We ate lots of good food and played all day long. We were also able to go to Newman Grove to see grandma Pospisil!

Have a good day! I hope that everyone is enjoying this HOT weather!!!

Three Months Old

I got Knox's three month pics today. Once again, I love them all. Bethany is really great at what she does. If you ever need a great photographer, check her out! http://www.photographybybethany.com/

Catching Up Again!

It has been a while, but I have had a crazy two weeks at work. I spent every day for the last two weeks in Grand Island for one reason or another. There was a lot of training: Career Development Facilitator and RentWise Trainer. I also trained a new employee and work on inputting data for our grant tracking. Thankfully, it flew by!

At the end of May a bunch of the girls took their kids to the Wildlife Safari in Omaha. It was a fun day! All of the kids had a great time. It was great seeing everyone and great to see Jenny and Christian!

We baptized Knox in March. I know this is old, but I finally remembered to put them up. Thank you to all that were there to share in his special day. Also thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts.AND a big THANK YOU to Jennifer and Ben for being his sponsors.

I thought this picture was great. My dad marched in the parade for Shell Creek Valley days. We were getting ready to go to the parade.

Hope you all have a wonderful Father's Day. Don't forget to tell those special dads in your life how much they mean to you!
