Changes

Oh heavens! Ethan did the last thing you want your baby to do while eating green beens. I was getting his next bite ready and I heard him take a deep breath so I scrambled for a something to catch the...too late, he sneezed all over EVERYTHING! Needless to say I had to change clothes again that morning.
Ethan figured out that it's way more fun to sit up than it is to lay down! SO he sits up all by himself without mommy holding him up anymore! It's so fun to watch him play with each toy until he gets bored of it then he'll choose another one. He's a little man now.

We got a new car! I added some bling so you all could see how gangsta' it is!

glam car!

End of '07 Season for Suns




One thing I love about my hubby is that he's the hugest Suns Fan you'll ever meet, but in the end he's not a sore loser. Now I guess it's time to move on.

Series finale: I wasn't prepared!

Yep! That's that. No more Gilmores, no more Stars Hollow. After seven seasons of many ups and downs, I'm sad that the show has come to an end. There will be (sniff) things I'll miss about the show:
Lorelai's parents Richard and Emily never failed to get to the emotional heart of a situation. Thanks to them, the senior Gilmores were often the best thing about the show. I'll sure miss the Friday night dinners! Many fights broke out during these! Luckily, Lorelai and her parents mended their relationship by the end.
Goodbye to Sookie! She was such a great friend and cook! Also a baby machine!

Say goodbye to our good friend Lane! Lane was always an excellent (and much-needed) reality check for Rory. She and the twins are doing well.
No more Luke's diner! Many a doughnut were shared there.
Say goodbye to Rory and Logan. She said she wouldn't marry him! She's off to work as a reporter! (I liked Dean better anyway!)
Bye Luke and Lorelia! Anyone who saw her sing that drunken karaoke version of I Will Always Love You to Luke knows that this their love is the real thing. There wasn't a dry eye in my house during that scene. They kissed in the finale so at least we know they'll love happily ever after!
No more Stars Hollow, where I've seriously wanted to move to. Ask Joe! I love Stars Hollow!
I'm gonna miss the whole town! Wow. So long, Gilmore Girls. Thanks for everything.

Day for Mothers!

Mothers! How crazy does that sound? So many of use are Mother's now and I think we deserve a Mother's day for all our hard work! :) It sure is worth it!
Jordan called from Canada on Mother's Day! His Mother's day gift was singing a lullaby to my Mom that she always used to sing to him. It was so sweet we all cried!

These Crazy grandkids have so much fun playing at Grandma's!

Girls Lunch!




(sorry the pics are so little on here, if you want to see the slideshow I made with music and such, and it's a lot bigger, go to http://www.scrapblog.com/44DCC441-D783/0506867F-D3F3 We had lunch at my house on Thursday with all the girls. It's so nice to get together with everyone! All the girls brought food that started with the letter "S" for Spring so we had Serrano's, Spinach dips, Sweet treats, Soup, Salads, Skittles, Starbursts, Sourpatch kids, and Strawberry Gatorade! We took pictures of all the babies and it was a riot because one baby would cry and then the rest would cry but we were laughing too hard to do anything about it! Vanessa and Shannon were both in from out of town so it was a fun surprise to see them too!

Clear in Greer

We made the trek to Greer this weekend. After seeing how clear and pretty it is there, I realized how smoggy and brown it is here! The sky in Greer is actually blue, whereas here, it's brownish grey. Oh well, pollution isn't going anywhere soon so I guess I better get used to breathing it. Joe is working on the marketing for a golf course/ housing community there. SO WE took a golf cart out there and drove all around. I had no idea how fun it is to ride around in a golf cart. Ethan had a blast too! Who knew?

Then Joe threw my dog Barbie out of the golf cart and made her run for about 8 holes. She's a fast little sucker and she kept up real well. It was pure entertainment! Let's just say she was pooped afterwards.

SUNS FUN!











We are so excited for the Suns Playoffs since Joe is arguably their biggest fan. SO we couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a night of it. Joe Set up the projector and shined it onto a big blanket in our backyard and we invited a few fellow Suns fans to come watch! Luckily the suns won or I'd have a grumpy hubby. We had lots of food and the girls ended up taking the fun inside to talk about hair, weight loss and pregnancy. Somehow those topics always come up, I'm sure all you girls know what I mean. Ethan had his friend Drake as a crib buddy too and they both fell asleep at the same time. It was so adorable! :)

Lit'l Tidbits:

You don't to look far for some great entertainment, just go to the ward talent show! We had some great Friday night fun watching people do funny stuff. Joe's comment as we were leaving was "I love being Mormon." It's so true that you can have fun and still live the gospel.GOOD BUY!!! Joe and I went Garage sale shopping Saturday Morning. I get some sort of weird thrill doing this. We ;eft at about 7:30am and would do drive bys and check if there was anything good and if not, it was on to the next house. We hit the jackpot when we found a community garage sale! I found this excersaucer and other thing (I don't know the name) for $40, and this stuff is barely used! So really, before you go to Target and spend hundreds on baby stuff, go to garage sales!
Hours of fun for everyone! (and a break for mommy) :)

Who's gonna win???


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!








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
