Spring Fever

Sean and I went out a couple weeks ago to see Leslie and the Lys, we had a great time! Leslie Hall is an Iowa native and absolutely hilarious, well worth the $80 spent on a babysitter. Shoot, I may start a babysitting service, they really rake in the dinero. Even better is that Ewan slept the whole time, she just got to hang out and watch television. I'm going to start feeding Ewan prunes before we go out so at least the sitter has to work for that $15 an hour. I'm not bitter......

Last weekend Ewan and I went to Missouri to visit my family, they were so excited to see Ewan and how much he has grown. Ewan was a little entertainer on the airplane, he was cracking everyone up. He is not afraid of strangers whatsoever, in fact I thought the couple next to me had plans to stuff him in their carry on and take him home, it was a little scary. The family is laying low this weekend so that probably means some sort of spring cleaning, yuk! 

Some of you may have noticed some recent changes to our blog page and you are also probably wondering who Johnny Blade USA is.....Johnny Blade aka Alex Kanellis is the son of Sean's U of I Professor, Dr. Kanellis. Alex makes videos with his buddies and they are pretty funny so enjoy. We also posted some clips from The Office because it's our favorite show, if you are bored check them out.

The weather has been absolutely great in Denver and Ewan wants to be outdoors form the moment he wakes up until bedtime. We were thinking about placing an addition on our house but have now decided to just place a tent in the backyard for Ewan's bedroom. Sean's mother came into town last weekend so Sean and I got to escape up to the mountains for some snow fun, it was nice to be able to ski/snowboard together without one of us waiting with Ewan at the bottom. We captured the moment(above photo) via camera timer.......

Ewan had his first wrestling match with the neighbor boy over the weekend, it was hysterical, sorry we do not have photos. Tyler was all over Ewan and the whole time Ewan just lay flat on his back cracking up! I know pretty lame that Ewan went straight to his back but don't worry Sean will start training him as soon as he starts crawling. If Ewan is anything like his dad everyone better watch out, you never know when a Whalen will grab your leg and take you down...
