Cool Slideshows

I am a total watcher of this show! I think it will be these three couples at the end with Ian, Joey, and Apolo. MY favorite couple BY FAR is Apolo and Julianne. They are such great dancers! I love watching the professional dancers do their thang too! I wish I could go on the show and learn some moves! Oh yah, and the costumes are so fun!

Waterslide FUN!

Cool Slideshows

We had so much fun today over at Grandma and Grandpa's house! They found this awesome waterslide at Costco for all of the grandkids to play on! They could have played on that thing all day into the night! These are some pictures of my Ethan, and then my nephews Noah and Preston, and my niece Kalista. They are all so adorable! I thought my mom looked pretty in this picture too!

Ethan loves to go on walks in the stroller!

Nice shades!

The short story...

I did it! I finally took the big plunge and hacked off my tangled up horse mane! Yesterday I went to Sara Reeder and brought her a picture of Tatum Perkin's hair from her blog, because she looked so good with the cut! (Thanks again for the idea Tatum!) And I seriously was not sad while she was cutting it. In fact I was so happy to watch it all fall to the floor. Joe loves it. In fact, he jokingly calls me his trophy wife! JK! YOu might recognize that line from a weight loss commercial on TV right now. I thought, would you really want your husband to be joking that you were his trophy wife? Wouldn't you want him to be serious that you were his trophy wife? Anyhow, I love the breezy feeling of the shorter hair and I'm glad it's GONE!!!

Friends Forever:

Allie invited everyone over to her Mom's for lunch this Friday. Of course, she cooked the most professional meal of yummy salad and then a rice dish and some great coconut icecream HOMEMADE. (I don't remember the name of the main dish, it was so fancy!) She's a great cook and a great mom! We thought we'd take some pictures of the babies. Little Nash and Hayden, the newborns of the bunch, are so little and adorable! Kasey's baby Hayden slept in his carseat the WHOLE time while Allie's little guy Nash rocked in the swing. Jackie's baby Collin crawled all over the place, bumping into chairs and getting scratches on his face from who knows where, he also likes to suck on peoples toes! Jamie's girl Carly and my Ethan experienced their first kiss together and they looked pretty happy about it too! They also held hands together and made googly eyes across the room. I think I hear wedding bells in the future! Hawli couldn't bring Kash because he was sick! But she came anyway! The girls all had fun talking and sharing baby tips and tricks! It was a nice getaway for us all!

Planet Earth and Oprah

Oprah has been doing some really great shows lately. I admit, I love her! So I was blown away by the story of this ant. The ant is near death. Spores from a parasitic fungus have infiltrated its body and mind…driving it insane. As cameras roll, a parasite begins to grow from the insect's head. After three weeks, deadly spores will burst from the alien growth. "That was a sequence that I'm probably most proud of," Huw says.When sick ants like this one are discovered in a colony, worker ants carry them far away and leave them to die. If they don't, thousands could suffer the same fate. Huw says he saw whole colonies destroyed by this fungus.

By the way, I have met Oprah! Just kidding! It's a wax figure. Joe and I went to Las Vegas two years ago and visited Madame Tussaud's wax museum. We had the best time!http://www.mtvegas.com/experience.asp

Josh Groban

I had a dream come true this weekend! Joe and I went to the Josh Groban concert and we had an amazing time! I am a huge fan of Josh Groban's so it was a real treat! Those of you who have his CD's probably know how I feel. The cool thing was, his voice sounded great live too. There's a song on his new CD called "so she dances" and when he performed that one, there weren't many dry eyes in the room. He's a real down to earth guy too. Very funny. He also played the piano and drums during the show. There was also a part when he surpised everyone by coming out into the crowd and singing. I found out this weekend that if you're a true fan, you're called a "grobanite." I thought that was pretty funny. :)

The testimony of my brother Jordan, on a mission in Canada:

I don’t know how to tell you in words but I love Jesus Christ. He is truly our best friend. When we fall... he picks us up. He lifts our weary bodies upon his shoulders and carries us and our struggles. I love him so much. He lives!This mission puts a lot of things in perspective for me about myself and what I am meant to do for these people. For all I know I walk into people homes and start moving my mouth and the spirit speaks though me. I don’t know any doctrine. I have only read the Book of Mormon 3 times and that’s ever since I was in the MTC. I am nothing. I am merely the hammer that God uses to drive the spirit into peoples hearts. Why do I love this mission so much? I feel like I’m helping to make a difference. Baptizing isn’t my focus anymore. Obedience is my focus. All I have to do is listen to God and whatever He wants to happen will happen. It’s that simple. He created the earth, He created me and He is the almighty. What can’t He do? He can do anything, and so can we if we have faith and are obedient. That’s all it takes. Faith, obedience and endurance. Those 3 things enable the power of God to guide His children back into his kingdom where He waits with open arms. Ready to embrace us and say "well done". I am excited for that day!! I feel like I’m working towards it. It’s so exciting; there is hope to all of this craziness. I love you all. Keep smilingElder Big J Honey suckles

Getting Older!

Happy Birthday to me! Joe is at Havasupai with the Young Men in the ward so I'm spending time with friends and family today! :) Thanks again mom for going through labor and delivery for me. Now that I know what it's like, BIRTHday takes on a new meaning!

Pretty Flowers

Joe bought me some pretty flowers just because. I love it when little surprises like that happen! He's such a sweetie.

Ouchie!

Ethan had his 4 month appt. today! He got four more shots in his legs. He cried and then I just held him and rocked him to sleep. The doctor said his height and and head size are in the 90th percentile! Joe says he's going to be "daddy's little pointgaurd." His weight is in the 50th percentile. I'm glad to have a healthy baby. :)

Water baby!

Joe and I love bringing Ethan to the gym to go swimming! He is so interested in the little fountains! There is also infant daycare at the gym so we can work out for an hour and a half while they watch Ethan! Joe and I have both been doing the Southbeach diet and have lost almost all the weight we gained during my pregnancy! Finally!

4 months and 2 days!

Ethan has his 4 month checkup this Monday! I'm so excited to see how much he weighs!and how long he is! He can also do many more things now! Sit up, Stand up. Rollover (sometimes), grab his toes, and smile really big!! (that's our favorite!)

We LOVE Arizona Sunsets

One of our most favoritest things about AZ is the beautiful sunsets that happen so often! I always love it when we catch one because they only last for a few minutes before it gets dark. This one happened last week after a cloudy day. :)
