I've Done Lost My Mind

I've got a date on June 12, 2010.  A half marathon date.  I'm excited but soooo scared!

Weekend Re-Cap

This weekend went by way too fast!  I got some contact samples to try to see if I like them.  I put them in Saturday morning so I didn't have to deal with trying them at work.  That didn't go well at all.  My left eye didn't really bother me too much but my right eye felt like something was scratching my cornea.  I only had them in for about 5 hours then I  had to take them out.  I going to see if I can try a different brand.  On Saturday night we went over to Cody and Tara's for sushi.  Tara makes the best sushi because it's all COOKED!

The boys played Halo, like always!

We all went to see this awesome movie today.  It was really good.

I still love the original movie, though.

Tim Burton did a very good job with this movie, except for the ending, he lost me there.

We all looked awesome in our 3D glasses!

We went up to my parent's house today for Sunday dinner and to celebrate my dad's birthday.  He wanted Jade's Fettucine Alfredo and it was yummy!  I love hanging out with the family and seeing these two little guys!  Gavin's smile just brightens my day and Branson had us all laughing at him, he's getting so smart!  He's learned to say "silly" but says "lilly", it's so cute.  

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday to one of the most important people in my life.  Dad, I love you so much.  Thank you for everything you've done for me.  I'm so thankful for having you for my father.  You're the BEST!  You love your family so much and would do anything for any one of us.  We're so blessed to have you.
I loved dressing up in his clothes when I was little.  Especially his boots, they were the best!

I was his "little fishin' buddy" when I was little.  I loved going out to that lake with him while he went fishing.  He even got me my own pole.  I don't think I really fished, though.  I think I liked to explore and he taught me how to skip rocks.  I need to keep looking and see if we have any pictures of us fishing back in the day.

At a Young Women's Activity, look at that hair he has goin' on!  Freakin' SWEET!!

I love you Pop!

A Special Day

I went down to Spanish Fork with my mom this weekend.  My Grandma Pat was getting sealed to her husband, Earl.  They have been working so hard for the past year or so to get temple divorces and permission from everyone in their family to be able to be sealed together.  My mom and I finally got to the Mount Timpanogos temple at about noon, when their session started.  We waited in the car for a while waiting for them.  It was so cold and snowing so we didn't want to wait out in that.  We went to meet them when they came out of the temple and quickly took some pictures while it was snowing and raining on us.

We all went to have lunch at Olive Garden afterward.  It was so fun getting together with everyone.  After lunch we went back to my grandma's and got changed and visited with her and Earl for a while.  We got together with all my aunts and cousins later that night at my Aunt Shelly's house to watch My Sister's Keeper. Half way through that movie we were all crying except for Aspen and Amanda who had already seen the  movie 3 times.  It is such a sad story but was very good.  My mom and I spent the night at my grandma's.  We spent more time with my grandma and Earl this morning before we left to come home.  I love my grandma and love spending time with her, she's such an awesome lady and I'm so happy she's found such a great guy with Earl.  He just adores her, it's so sweet!

Congratulations Grandma & Earl!  

It was great to come home, though!  I missed Josh and our babies.  I got home and changed, then we headed over to Cody and Tara's to watch the Jazz game and eat dinner.  The Jazz lost again but it was fun watching the game with them!

It was a busy weekend but a great one!  I'm not ready for the work week to start, though!

Hmmm?

I finally got my hair cut today.  I haven't had it cut since last...July, before Chelsie's wedding.  I know, that's awful!  It was getting to the point where I felt like my hair looked a storm trooper's helmet.  I had a new girl cut it today and it always makes me nervous to have someone new cut it if they're not familiar with curly hair.  She did a great job!  She's was super fun to talk to and totally knew how to cut my hair.  Between how much she cut off and how much she thinned out, there was enough hair to stuff a pill!ow!  I love seeing how much gets cut off and running my fingers through it when it's done  So she styled my hair and you tell me...

Curly?

Or Straight?

I only straighten my hair maybe twice a year.  When I straighten it, it takes for.ev.er.  I won't spend money on a good straightener because I don't do it that often so I have a cheap one and that sucker hurts!  I pulls out more hair than it straightens!

And for no reason except for I took the day off work and was lazy, I took pictures of one of my favorite things, all the adventures I been on...

I love all my books!  Such great stories!

JUMP!

Over at I Heart Faces, the photo challenge for this week is "Jump For Joy".  Here's my entry:

The girls jumping at Chelsie's wedding.  It was such a special day to see my baby sister marry her prince.

Let's Catch Up, Shall We?

I have been slacking lately!  Nothing too exciting has really happened in our house lately.  I watched Jade and Brit's boys twice last week.  They are so fun!  Gavin is such a little smiler and giggler.  Branson is getting so big and is talking a lot.  He didn't know what to think about Ringo, but came around liking him.  He loved Yoko because she'll let him touch her.

Gavin slept most of the first night he was here.  I went in to check on him and he had lost his binky but was sucking his thumb like his daddy!

Ever since Branson was little, he has loved playing with a fly swatter.  He found one at my mom and dad's and started pushing it around like a vacuum.

It was so much fun watching them, but they wore me out!  Branson is a crazy boy, he doesn't sit still for one second!

Tara and I went to a Health Fair that was being put on by Sunshine Terrace at the retirement living facility across the street from the hospital we work at.  We put a booth together for our clinic.  Dr. Costa went with us.  He checked people's ears, while Tara and I checked blood pressure, blood sugar and gave swine flu shots.  It was the first health fair I had ever done.  It went really well and we had lots of fun.  I forgot my camera so I  was glad when I saw Tara brought her's.  She's a life saver!!

My husband is the sweetest, most generous man I've ever known.  He totally surprised me by letting me get the one thing I've looked at daily and talked about for the past year and a half.  So this little beauty and I are starting our love affair!  I'm so dang excited!

When we got into the car after buying it, I started crying because I couldn't believe I finally have it.  Josh started crying too because that's what he wanted, to see me happy.  Wow, I'm am an unbelievably blessed girl to have him.  Thank you, my love!
We went shopping for him, too.  He got some new shoes for work and school and some very cool shoes for working out.
Chelsie and Brian came home for the weekend so she and I went shopping with my mom on Saturday, with Branson and Gavin.  We went to Ross to find a "treasure" to wear to my Grandma Pat and Earl's temple sealing this Saturday.  Chelsie and Brian went out with their friends they don't get to see very often Friday night and my mom told her she had to be happy Saturday if she was going to go shopping with us.  She was "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed"!  We had lots of fun hanging out together.  She's not used to our Saturday shopping adventures and our humor while shopping so we had to break her in!
We had dinner last night up at my mom and dad's house.  I got to try out my camera and see what it can do.  I don't know what I'm doing yet, but am so excited to learn!  Branson had played all day long and had been very good while we were out shopping so by the end of the night he was tired!  He was getting crabby so Brittiney pulled my sunglasses out of my purse to entertain him for a minute.  He thought it was pretty funny to take them off and put them back on.

 My mom and dad wanted to get a picture with them and their grandbabies.

Gavin smiles with his whole face, I love it!

Chelsie and Brian before they left.

Now that I'm caught up I should keep it that way!
