This video is completely unrelated, but it shows how he plays with Cami. It makes me happy. My kids are the best.

Bring White Trash to Work Day
"I'm going to work. See ya!" He put on those shoes and dragged Taylor's briefcase out to the front yard all by himself. The no shirt, tattoos, juice mustache, and undies showing look is really working for him.

News...
Sadly, there's a serious lack of things to catch you up on. I'll give it my best:
Camille is the smiliest baby ever to exist. I love it. But she's also turned into a champion barfer. Ew.
Warren is starting to really warm up to her and likes to help give her baths and "play" with her. He is so stinkin smart and funny. He loves to sing.
Taylor's been playing Mr. Mom because I have some wicked cold that has lasted far too long. Bless you, husband.
I had a birthday (#26...well 27 if you count the day I was born) and had a lot of nice friends call and bring treats and presents. Thanks everyone. Too bad I was sick. And too bad I'm a lame friend and never remember anyone's birthday. I'm going to work on that.
Enjoy the pictures, mom. Stop harassing me.
She loves the exersaucer. I love it, too.

I didn't take near as many pictures as I should have, but we had a great time at the WFR '09 - you can take my word for it. Great food, the temple, playing and swimming - all fun. And W met his very best friend, Martha.
We missed everyone who couldn't make it. Until next time...

Things I'm Into
MINT.COM
My friend, Laura told me about this a long time ago, but I've only started to use it recently. It's like free quicken online. It pulls all the info from my accounts and cards and compiles it into one big statement and tracks my budget for me. It's been helping me stay on track, which is a good thing. LOVE it. Beats checking 4 different accounts every few days and trying to sort it out in my brain.
SONIC
Happy Hour from 2-4 means half price drinks :). And it's not expensive to begin with. When it's stinkin' hot outside, a slush every day seems like a grand idea. I have so many mints in my ash tray! (They give you one with your order) And they have the best ice. Current favs are lemon-berry slush and diet cherry coke. Oh, and the cherry limeade shake has changed my life.
PANDORA.COM
If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. I've used it for a few years (thanks Morgan Lasley), but since moving the computer out to the living room, we have great music playing most of the day. For those not in the loop, it's customizable radio. You tell it what songs/artists you like and it finds songs for you. Then you tell it whether or not you like it and it keeps track and learns your taste. I have several awesome stations from Journey to Ben Harper to Darius Rucker to Raffi. My mom even thinks it's cool and has a Motown station.
DANCE PARTIES W/ WARREN
Speaking of Pandora, my "I'm Too Sexy" Station has been playing some wicked awesome dance songs. Warren and I like to dance around like crazy people and Cami watches us and smiles. If you know me, then you know I hate (HATE) exercising. So this is how I manage. 30 minutes of maniac dancing can break a sweat. You're welcome to join me as long as the video cameras stay home. :)
DARIUS RUCKER
Back to Darius. I think I wore out my Cracked Rear View CD by Hootie and the Blowfish back in the day. Hootie is a country singer now. Country+Hootie=amazing. I love him.
TAYLOR
Our 5 year anniversary passed, his birthday passed, and I haven't given Tay a proper shout-out on the bloggy blog. Mostly because when I read other blogs where the chick goes on and on and on about what a wonderful guy she's married to, it makes me want to vomit. I'm glad you like the guy you chose to live with forever, but tell him, not us. Because of my strong aversion, I don't feel like I ever say anything nice about Taylor. But let the record show that he is the greatest guy in the world and I'm the luckiest girl. He's handsome, a genius, funny - at least occasionally :), and a good husband and father. We all really dig him over here. Love you, Tay.

More of Cami
Cause can anyone really get enough of her?? I think no.
This, mom, is a Bumbo.

Stinky Pete!
So we were driving in the car today and saw a man with a cardboard sign on the corner. We were stopped at a light, so I dug in our ash tray for some coins. After I handed it to the man and he said thanks, Warren calls out "IT'S STINKY PETE!!" I think, and certainly hope, the man didn't hear him. But it was pretty funny. I just don't want my sweet children getting into the habit of calling homeless people names. Although, he did share a striking resemblance to the prospector... (from Toy Story 2 for all of you who don't have obsessed 2-year-olds)
Google Analytics
I think I've mentioned it on this blog before, but Google Analytics is really pretty cool. If you haven't set it up for your blog, you should. Here's what I learned today:
*In the last 18 months, we've had visitors from 39 foreign countries. One visitor from Moscow spent 51 minutes reading our awesome blog.
*We've had visitors from 49 states and Washington, DC. South Dakota is the lone holdout. If you know anyone from South Dakota, let them know that we'd appreciate filling out our blog "map."
*My brother Gordon and his wife Chrissy are the undisputed stalking champions; they've visited the blog over 1,050 times in the past 18 months. Wow.
*Our readers are a particularly enlightened bunch--only 54.75% of you use Internet Explorer. Hooray for Firefox!
*Here are some of the search terms leading people to our blog:
1. "Stephanie Dix Denver"
2. "Taylor Dix"
3. "The Crazy Dixes"
Nothing too weird about that, right? Now, here are some of the more odd search terms:
1. "The Entire Contents of My Stomach"
2. "Mormon Craziness"
3. "40 Years Mindy Collette"
4. "all4dix"
5. "Anorexic with Slim Fast"
6. "Baby Moose Hats"
7. "Chuck Norris Candles"
8. "Crazy Tax Breaks"
9. "Guy Pasty Skin"
10. "Seafoam Green Slipcover"
11. "Warren's a Poofy"
And the clear winner:
"Slim Fast You Need It Because You're Fat"
Who says too much information can be a bad thing?

"I made ThreeeEEEeeeEE Snakes!"
It only took W two or three days to become proficient in the peeing category, and he hasn't had an accident on the front end for some time now (even at night). However, going #2 in the toilet has eluded him. Today, though, he discovered that poop looks like a snake when it's in the toilet rather than his undies. It's like a whole new world opened up to him. He went three times today. BLESSED DAY! And when going to bed tonight, he looked us in the eyes and with all the pride he could muster up announced: "I made threeee snakes today!!" Yes, baby, you sure did. And we couldn't be happier about it.
