Fun at the zoo!

Rich was on vacation last week so we decided to get a lot of work done around the house and then treat ourselves to a little vacation. We took Lytton to Portland to go to the Oregon zoo! It was awesome and he loved it so much! We went up in the morning and spent the whole day at the zoo then got a hotel room and stayed the night then came home the next morning. Every animal Lytton was amazed by he would ohhh and ahhhh at everyone of them, but as you can see from the pictures he loved the fish tanks!!! We had a great time and I cant wait to take him back.

Weekend Work

With a little "elbow grease" we finally laid down gravel next to the house and bark in all of our flower beds.

Things are starting to come together. Next, grass on the sides and in the back. We also want to build a deck off the back of the house. Should make for some fun summer BBQs.

American Idol

So Glad this young man won the judges Covenanted save last night! He is so awesome and deserves another chance to get it right! All of you American Idol fans what do you think???

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well life in the Warnick household has been pretty busy lately mainly with our yard! We knew when we built a house that the chore of putting in a yard was going to come with it. Rich has gotten all the sprinklers pretty much done. There are just a few that he still has to put the heads on. We were supposed to do curbing on Friday before my dad left to go to France for 6 weeks, but that fell through and now we are going to do it on Wednesday. So curbing will be in soon and we are going to seed this weekend! YEAH! There will be grass soon. The yard is coming together nicely, so we are excited.
Lytton is growing up so fast and we love him very much. He LOVES the outdoors! We play outside a lot and go to the park. He wouldn't have it any other way. He is saying more and more words everyday, and turning into a little boy right before our eyes.
We had a great Easter and had a great time with family and friends. Lytton loved his first Easter hunt althogh it had to be inside because of the rain. I hope everyone has a great week!

Loving some sunshine

Well as the days have been getting nicer Lytton and I have been spending some afternoons at the park. He loves the swings and the slide! Its still a little chilly so I don't last very long, but he would stay out all day if he could, he throws a fit every time we start to head back to the car.

Spokane here we come!

Well my awesome hubby is taking me to Spokane this weekend, and did I mention kid free! Thats right no Lytton! I have to admit I am a little nervous to leave him behind since this will be his first night away from his parents, since he was born. Pathetic I know since he is 18 months old, but I am sure he will be in great hands with Grandma. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Lyttons Check up

My baby is huge! He is now 28 lbs and 33 1/2 inches long. Which puts him in the 90th percentile for height and the 80th for weight. We went to the doctor yesterday for his 18 months check up about a month early because we needed to finish up his flu shot, and since my doctor is very understanding he let us do all of his 18 month shots early so I wouldn't have to go back in a couple of weeks. He is expanding his vocabulary, hes up to about 6 words now, yeah! If he hears clapping on the TV he automatically joins in. He is growing up so fast and learning so much he is such a Joy and we love him dearly!

Daddys little helper

He just picked up the sander and went to work!

As I mentioned below Rich was working on projects for me the week he was off. One of the things he did was sand down and paint our coffee table and end table so they would match the rest of the furniture. It turned out really well and I will have to post pics of them soon, but anyways whenever Rich was in the garage working away Lytton just had to be out there with him. We took some cute pics of him working away with dad. How he knew how to do this is beyond me, he picks things up pretty fast!

Better late than never

Well we had a great Christmas break. Rich had a lot of time off so we finished up some projects around the house, spent a lot of time with family playing plenty of games, and a lot of rock band! That is our favorite. Ate lots of food and rang in the new year with all of Rich's family over for a fun filled night and a sleep over.

Lytton loved opening his presents and after each one he liked he would say ohhhh he was so cute!
