Dawson had his first "big boy bath" a couple of weeks ago. He misses the duckie tub, but he loves the spacious big tub. He hasn't quite grasped the concept that bubbles aren't edible yet, as you can see.

In this past week, I've applied to 25 different jobs. I'm hoping that I get a call back from at least one of them by the end of next week! I need to start working soon. Dawson is (hopefully) starting daycare/preschool next or the following week. I really need to get that figured out.

My 21st birthday is on Tuesday the 28th! I wasn't too excited a few months ago, and now that it's crept up pretty quickly, I am really stoked. I've planned a small dinner with a few of my closest friends at the Sugar Factory restaurant. The menu looks delicious! Plus, I've heard their alcoholic beverages are to die for! I really want to take my big camera with me and get pictures of the meals & drinks, but I am so paranoid something will happen to it, so I'll just take my smaller, more portable (not quite as amazing quality) Canon Powershot. Unfortunately, I'm one of the first in my group of friends to turn 21, so we can't really all "celebrate" by clubbing until everyone is legally 21. I can't wait for the last one in the group's birthday (RYAN)! I wish we could throw a big, giant "WE'RE 21!" party for everyone near the end of the year.. that'd be fun!

Anyway, I'm out of words, so have a sleeping baby:

Yesterday, Dawson & I visited his Nana & Pop's new house. They moved more towards our side of town and they now have a pool! Dawson went swimming for the first time and he totally loved it! Afterward, we went to Kabuki for some sushi during Happy Hour, and let me just say, it was DELICIOUS! On the freeway on the way home, we noticed a huge black cloud of smoke and while driving closer, we realized it was right by my house! I freaked out, thinking it was either my house, or my biffle Cristina's house. But it turned out to be the recycling plant right by my house.

Anyway, onto the pictures!









Daddy ordering sushi, while Dawson points at what he wants.



He's a little monster.





I love iced tea.



Dawson's "kid's meal". Really?! This was like an adult meal! Not bad for only 6 bucks!



Rainbow Roll.



Vegas Roll.





Rose Roll.









Aftermath. My tummy was SO full. Yuuummy yummy sushi!




The smoke from the fire coming off of the freeway.

I have finally cut Dawson's hair into a mohawk after talking about it for MONTHS! And let me just say, he looks absolutely adorable! He sat still for me the entire time and let me shave it without getting scared. I was so surprised, expecting the worst tantrum ever. After I was finished, he looked in the mirror and smiled, he was so excited!

My baby with a sleepyhawk:





This was right after I cut it and gave him a bath. I've since trimmed and layered it to make styling easier.

Very late post, I know! Easter was a couple weeks ago. But better late than never. We went to visit my Dad and took him flowers. Then we stopped by Dawson's Nana & Pop's house for a while and went to the park so he could swing & slide!





I told him to make a bunny face, and this is what he did:





The sign made me laugh. & Dawson is running around with the pinwheel we got for his Papa!






Being a goofball with his Nana





Wearing his new backpack for school!





His bunny cup!







Check out all the goodies he got!
*And yes, he got socks. 12 pairs of socks, to be exact! Why? Because he always manages to lose them!









After we got home that night and I looked through the pictures, I realized I didn't even get one of me & Dawson. I was sad! It sucks always being behind the camera.. However, I did manage to get one of myself.

We took Dawson to the park today and he was so excited! He kept pointing at the ducks and the waterfall saying "Ooooh! Look!" He loves whenever we go out and he gets to go exploring. Little adventures with Dawson are the best. Afterward, I treated him to some frozen yogurt at U-Swirl.





















And now for the frozen yogurt!
