Enough Already!

So a few funny things have happened the last week or so that I just had to post about so I wouldn't forget. Like I could but I want to anyway.

First off, last Sunday Brian locked the keys in the car. He found an ad for a locksmith in Kaysville who would only charge $30 to come unlock the car. No extras for it being a weekend. So he called the guy and he said he was on his way. An hour and a half later, he shows up, takes two seconds to unlock the car, then hands Brian a $140 bill. Brian was very upset and shocked, obviously, because this was much more than he said it would be. Well, Brian called the guy's boss and gave him a talking to ;) But the guy wouldn't budge. He said he had the right to have certain fees and that there was no way to get out of them. So we ended up paying the whole amount and it REALLY ticked me off. I was not happy because the guy cheated us. It was so dishonest. I HATE people like that.

Anyway, next thing. Our registration for our Jeep was up the end of March. We knew this but couldn't register it until we got paid. Well, I threatened Brian to not speed or doing anything wrong while driving so that he wouldn't get pulled over and get a ticket for the registration. Well, I got pulled over Wednesday coming home from a meeting. I was driving up our street and there was a cop. I thought I'd be fine because I wasn't speeding and there was no way he could see my license plate right? Well, he did and obviously put it into his computer or something. He pulled me over, right in front of our neighbors' house. I was a little embarrassed to say the least, especially when one of our neighbors drove by and laughed at me. Anyway, the cop says, "You know what's funny? I never patrol this street, let alone look at registration." Ya, I thought it was hilarious! He gave me a ticket and went on his way. I was seething! I had never been pulled over, ever and the first time had to be for registration? Honestly!

Enough of all my venting and on to funner things. Ethan is such a talker now. He can say so many words and he actually knows what they mean. Its so fun to see him learning and growing so fast. He is my sweet angel baby and I love him so much! He fell asleep in his highchair for the first time ever today. He was eating a piece of cheese and being extremely quiet. I looked over at him and he was asleep but still chewing. Holy cow! I had no idea he was that tired. He had been cranky all morning but I thought it was because of his teeth. Nope, just SUPER tired apparently. Love that kid!

Words Ethan says:
Papa
Mama (grandma)
Mommy
Dada
Baby, when he sees a picture of one or of himself
Abbi
Wa (water)
Thank you
Pees (please)
Alright! (thanks to Grandma Ilene :))
Yes, while nodding
Milt (milk)
Caw (car)
Mow (cow mixed with moo I think)
Puppy
Hi
Uh-oh
Hewo (hello, while chatting on his phone)
Tractor
Roar! (anytime he sees a bear or dinosaur)
Kitty
Ahh (I love it when he says this)
Love you
Duck
Shoes
Tee-tee (his blanket from Grandma Ilene)
Emmy (Emily)
Baw (ball)
Bye, with a Southern accent
Jesus
Co-co (cookie)
Wee!
Knot knot (knock knock) He says this when he walks by Brian's office with the door shut.
Fish

That's all I can think of right now. I told you this kid can talk! I love it. Such a stud.

I have to laugh about the whole ticket thing because we have a similar story 2 in fact. First our registration on one of our vehicle was up and because my husband doesn't go far for work and works at night he drove it well on his way home at like 7 am he got busted. About 3 weeks later he was on his very expired motorcycle (like a year) and got busted again. The best part of it is no permanent record and if you get it registered they take $10 off your fine so it sonly like $30.00. Good luck though I think it's a good one.
