I should be asleep

I keep finding myself laptopping when I should be asleep. It's always around 10:30 when things are quiet and I go through my google reader. I'm so behind, don't even get me started on Pinterest.
But this girl is killing me lately. She is cute and sweet and so big.

This was from swim lessons tonight.

She's pretty happy with this new little guy around. Today she got him out of the swing, laid him on the couch and went scrounging in the fridge for a bottle. So nice and scary.

Just one anecdote. My mom was here when Anders was born so she stayed with Maddy while we were at the hospital. The first evening Maddy and grandma came to visit at the hospital then went home to go to bed. Maddy cried the whole way home and then while my mom was getting her teeth brushed and jammies on. At one point Maddy stopped crying and said "Why is she crying? She misses her mama, huh?" Kills me everytime I think about it. She was lucky to have grandma around to kiss her and sing her songs till she fell asleep that night.

Trying to take full advantage of our one month free trial of netflix and the fact that I can really only watch shows in the middle of the day or night. One more season of FNL to go, and I watched Felicity every afternoon during nap time. I never watched it back in the 90's. I hated the last episode, it ruined the whole show for me. Felicity ends up being mean and self-centered. And Noel is whiny.

Bear

This is Bear taking a time out. Bear speaks for Maddy, he cries when Maddy needs attention, he drinks his bottle when Anders is eating, he hits other toys and gets in trouble, he takes naps and likes to watch movies and eat cereal. Last week at church Maddy brought kitty cat instead of Bear, four different people asked where Bear was.

I haven't watched any of the new Parenthood, I'm 5 weeks behind in Project Runway, I missed The Office and New Girl. And my productivity is absolutely measured in the TV shows I'm able to watch.

But look at this kid?!?

We did manage to finish season 4 of Friday Night Lights. I think it's the best season. Saracen buries his dad, Vince has to sell his soul to save his mom. And Tim, oh Tim.

Anders Kamalei

Anders was born on August 29th at 3:07 am. We were at the hospital and heard his first cry. We are a little bit in awe of his birth mother, he weighed 9 lbs 5 oz.

Maddy is still a little dazed but we've been home for 24 hours now and she asks to hold him more and more.

He is perfect and sweet and we love him like crazy.

2nd Annual San Diego trip

This is the epitome of life at Mana's. Swimsuit on & a nice coke waiting to be enjoyed.


We all headed to San Diego on July 12th. Adam got to surf several times including Baja Malibu. Maddy and I got our tan on swimming in the pool. We made just two beachtrips, one mall trip, one Target trip, two half gallons of chocolate malted crunch were consumed. Pretty mellow for us this year!

We also squeezed in a birthday party/baby shower with the family.

Adam's Triathlons

I've lost track of how many races Adam has done this year. The Boise Half Ironman, the Boise & Burley Spudman Olympic distance, Emmett's Most Excellent Triathlon maybe one more in Burley in September.

Anyway, he's awesome. The Burley Spudman he got first in his age group. The Emmett he got 8th place OVERALL. He beat his Ironman time from last year by 50 minutes. Every goal he set he has at least met, usually exceeded. He's got the bug and it's really fun to watch.

I know this post sounds like I'm bragging (which I am) but he put a ton of time into his training, a lot of early, early mornings and coaching sessions and special gear. Plus it's been a great way to stay busy and not miss the surf. ha
