Yesterday a water main broke in our complex, thus no cooking.
Me: What do you want for dinner?
B: McDonald's? Taco Bell?
Me: Yuck.
B: Happy Sumo?
Me: Get real.
B: Shoots? I'd even settle for Tucanos.
15 minutes later
B: So Taco Bell?
Me: Never.
B: I could bust out the food storage water and make pasta.
Me: Doesn't sound good anymore.
15 minutes later and nearly emaciated.
B: Let's just drink a gallon of bleach and call it a night.
Me: Do we have that much bleach on hand? I don't want to have to go out.

Ready for this?!?
Okay so we've all noticed I haven't really been on the blogging train this summer. Weird for me, I know. Right now I'm sitting here overwhelmed with random thoughts. So here we go:
*My new favorite color is pea green. Bryan says it's green pea. Whatev. Harry Potter left me wanting more.
*Baby Addilyn is actually ANOTHER BOY. Shock. Made the tech check again. She didn't lie. Had to make some returns. Okay, a lot of returns. No pink or bows this time around, but we are thrilled for Caden to have a best buddy. This little man is definitely supposed to be part of the Phipps clan...
*Nightmare of the summer: We went to the ER...long story short...6 hours later...the doctor told us I was leaking amniotic fluid and there was a high chance I would lose the baby if this continued. It was one of the worst moments of my life sitting in the office, bawling my eyes out thinking that this baby-- my baby-- that I had already felt kick, that I had such big plans for may not be part of our family in this life. I am grateful for miracles. I'm grateful for faith in a Heavenly Father that's hand is so clearly in our lives. I'm grateful for blessings from a worthy husband that calm me more than anything else in this world. A week later we went to my OB and the leak was gone--my own miracle.
*My favorite purchase...probably ever...Shark Vacuum. A-MAZ-ING.
*My Kid: Within 10 minutes of our first morning home he had covered his hair in yogurt while I finished making his toast, dumped his milk on the floor, and managed to climb back into his highchair while I was cleaning up the mess. Then he smirks at me.
*Jon and Kate Plus Eight's divorce=devastation.
*Phipps' got a trubo twist waterslide. Awesomeness. Caden cried EvErYtImE Bryan "risked his life" to go down the slide. My mother in law screamed like a little girl eVeRyTiMe she went down.
*Decided to do a little gambling on our way through Nevada: We drove the Contour. 10 to 1 odds we wouldn't make it home. Our very special car officially has no working windows, 1 working speaker, broken e-brake, and 2 broken bushings--something to do with suspension and tires.
*This is what happens when daddy gets him ready in the morning...
And I'm out...

HOT
Caden's First Word: H-O-T.
It's adorable; He flexes his hand out over the object that's hot and then says it over and over. The other day I took him outside (103) and he puts his hands to the sky and says HOT. Everytime he passes the oven, he says it. Whenever he's served dinner, he says it. You get the idea.
He has also picked up: cat, hi, bye, hello, jake (Phipps' dog), fish (which just comes out ish), and cold.
It is so much fun to watch your baby learn, and to see the excitement in his eyes when he understands. His language is developing, but even more so his understanding of words and directions. I tell him to get his shoes, he does. I tell him to go to my room, he does. I love it!

Wisconsin
Dad finally sent me a very few--hint, hint dad--of the Wisconsin pictures. These are all from our time in Wisconsin Dells at the waterpark. Too bad Wisconsin was a whooping 60 degrees while we were there. I didn't actually ever get in the water seeing as I forgot to pack my snowsuit. 
Caden loved all the Hoggatt men. It was fun to watch him eat up the attention.
I tried to take Caden to the kid area the first day we were there. That went well. He clung to my leg like I was trying to leave him in the scary ghetto. My mom decided to try again the next day and you can see on his face that he just loved it again...
