Party, Party, Party

Wrapped up a busy weekend recently. Got to celebrate my friends with a wedding shower on Saturday for Jaime and her bachelorette party, then had a baby shower for Melissa on Sunday. Doesn't sound too busy till you know the first two parties were in the Wichita area and the last party in Kansas City! It was all fun and totally worth it!
I missed my boy and man, but they were busy too. Daryl played at Grandma and Grandpas all Saturday and dad tailgates and worked in the yard.
There is no rest for the Manor and we like it that way, most of the time!
Started some great knitting this weekend also. Cast on one new project and worked on Kel's sweater.
I finished a birthday hat for bro-in-law Brian so I decided to cast on more projects! When will I learn!!!
Still need to finish my sock and start its sister. Will save that for another day, I'm ready for bed!

Long Weekend

I have been slacking on here but that is because when I get home at night these past few
weeks I have been to tired to even knit much less blog!
I will do better :)
We had our Ramirez family reunion last Sunday. It was SOOOO much fun. I just love
dancing with kelly, eating all the good food and visiting with family. This was the first reunion
I've ever been to and after hearing how great they are for four years I have to say I agree.
We will be having another one in two years so I won't have to wait so long again!
Daryl had fun too but he missed most of the dance and hung out at Grandma Meerpohl's with
Carson and Dom.
Played a game of Rugby on Saturday, got my butt kicked and it was fun! Thanks to the
Alumni KSU team who let me whore on with them and have a blast. Ruggers are fun people
no matter what school they went to!
We also had a really fun Tailgate last weekend at the Triangle house. The tailgate was a lot
more fun than the game. it might be a long season....
On the knitting front I'm stalling on the most amazing pair of socks I have ever knit. I think I'm
afraid to mess up the toe after all the beautiful work on the leg and foot. Need to bite the
bullet and just finish them.
I'm also doing something I have promised Kelly since we have been married. I'm knitting him
a sweater! I have a schedule so don't panic everyone, it will get done!
Sept-Knit Back
Oct-Knit Front
Nov-Knit Sleeves
Dec-Make up, block and give for Christmas!

Its a fool proof plan so I'm sure everything will work out. (Please don't read this knitting gods
and knock my front teeth out for being so positive!!)

Its Official

My baby boy is two. He is so smart, so cute and so happy. We had a good year! Its hard for me not to get sentimental with the birthday post, after all he is the best thing I've ever done.

He had a great birthday surrounded by the family and friends that love him. He got a tractor from his grandpa and grandma Wasko, a bunch of Elmo's from his aunts and uncles, a huge Hershey bar from his aunt Sofia and much much more!

The toys were not half as fun as watching him be the center of attention. He is so silly when people are watching him, I don't think he will be a shy kid. Even at church he was giving kisses to all the ladies that were so happy to see him again so soon.

With my new job I look forward to being able to go to Hanston more and let Daryl experience small town life!

It Happens

When you party hard, you crash hard. Thanks grandma and grandpa Meerpohl and Aunt Barb Meerpohl for the birthday eve festivities!!

MMMM Peanut Butter

Daryl was in his high chair and I was enjoying some celery and peanut butter. Daryl said "bite bite", so I let him have some. He did not care at all for the celery but he could not get enough of the peanut butter. I finally just gave him a spoon full!

Almost Done!

Daryl's two year sweater is really close to the finish line. I still need to sew it up and knit around the arm holes and the neck hole.

That takes some time but I think it is doable by our Wednesday family picture. We picked Kelly out a shirt this weekend but I still haven't found anything. I might just have to make something in the closet work since I will be using most waking moments knitting!

Yesterday we were party animals. We went to our cousin's house warming party and two birthday parties. We took D to all of them and he had a blast. At the last party one of my co workers kept giving him cookies! She was his best friend LOL

As Daryl creeps closer to two we are seeing more tantrums. I truly believe he just gets mad that we don't understand what he wants. Either way I took some pictures of one of his fits because even mad he is still a cutie!!
