If you like watching MWC football, please sign the petition...Heck if you know someone who knows someone who likes to watch MWC football, Please take 2 second and sign the petition and tell everyone you know about it...

8 months already!

Hello!
Here are some recent pictures of Ethan at 8 months! Time really flies by! He's rolling all around, eating people food, and loving his first hot hot hot summer. I can't wait till fall because it seems like right now, there's nothing you can do outside during the day but swim. And Ethan loves to be outside! Ahhh, any other moms know what I'm saying? Anyway, thanks for looking at all of my scrapblogs, I'm trying to win a contest so I have them all on my blog to get the most 'views' possible. I get to remove them July 17th.

Sack O' Potatoes

Lately Joe loves to throw Ethan over his shoulder and say, "Here's my Sack O' Potatoes!" Ethan loves it. It helps Ethan get rid of unwanted baby gas too! :)

God bless the USA

"Duty. Honor. Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn." General Douglas MacArthur (1880 - 1964) Address to the cadets of the U.S. Military Academy in accepting the Thayer Award, May 12, 1962

Happy 4th everyone!

Wanna see?

Okay so we all got together at Grandma's house for some pictures! Just imagine the chaos!
It was nice to spend time with Joe's friends. I love their wives!
All of the sisters in law!
I thought Ethan would fall off the swing for sure! Nervous wreck!

Hello St. George!

I got a new calling! I'm in the primary presidency as the first counselor. I can't wait! I've been teaching my little 5 year olds so I'm sad to leave them, but I love all of the kids!

ALSO right after I got called, we left for St. George for the week.

This is one of the many adorable pictures we took there! BUT my computer is running so slow right now that it would take FOREVER for me to post them so this should wet your palette at least! More to come!

Peanuts and Crackerjacks!

Ethan had his first Dbacks experience! He loved watching all the different things going on of course and by the end he was asleep! :)


I got together with Shan while she was in town for Christian's farewell! Those boys grew up so fast!

We went to this Bass pro shop place. It was like Disneyland for men, and I had the best time too! There's a waterfall, fishtanks, shooting gallery, fudge shops, and all the outdoor stuff you'd ever want! It's even better than Cabella's!

Weening and Wailing!

The Devil:

Okay, I realized that if I didn't wean Ethan from his binky at seven months, then it would just get harder and harder to do it as he gets older. I mean, they write childrens books about this subject! So two nights ago I felt so ready to just do it. I learned from a friend to literally just let them cry anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes and they'll fall asleep on their own. Ethan screamed for what seemed like an hour (but it was only 15 minutes) and then he fell asleep. I was almost in tears myself, but I knew I had to do it! Since then, he's really done great falling asleep without his binky! SUCCESS!

These two are so happy when they're together! Ethan literally breaths harder and starts screaming when Barbie paces around.
This little play was so fun! Kali, my neice LOVES princesses! There's a part in the show we're the prince wants to marry another girl (who's not so nice) and Kali yelled , "Don't marry her! Arabelle's prettier!" I was so like that when I was little so I can relate! :)

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.

Personalized Glitter Graphics

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

As you can see, the back is just as glamorous as the front.

Oh and by the way, in case you were wondering, I am:

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!
