Favorite Thing!

J.J. called me a Barbie Princess!
It made me wonder if I should be more concerned about his love for barbies. What a nice compliment.

Joshy

I have realized that I don't write too much about my husband, he is great! I have been so so so busy lately with work, modbe, being a mom, my calling at church, and all the other chores of life. When I came home from a late night of work and modbe parties I was pleasantly surprised to find a CLEAN house. I knew for sure that I didn't leave it this way. I didn't see the usual dishes piled up by the sink, or the crusted applessauce on the table. In fact the kitchen was spotless! The dishes were done, garbage taken out, toys picked up, clutter put away, and one baby sleeping. I felt such a relief! What a caring husband, I love you Josh!

Growing up FAST!

J.J. said is first prayer this week. We were about to eat dinner and I was getting everything set, and JJ just bowed his head and started mumbling a prayer all by himself. I could hear him say "Heavenly Father" and "Thanks for the blessings" "It's a good day" and then a few other words, then..... "AMEN!" I couldn't help but smile.
For bedtime last night he volunteered to say it, which is VERY surprising because he usually fights us when it's time for bedtime prayers. But last night he folded his arms and said the usual, "thank you for blessing, thank you for this day, and my family"... BUT then he mumbled something else and the only word me and josh could understand was "Barbies" He has been playing at Grandma Funks lately in the Barbie room with his cousins. Me and Josh were laughing so hard.

Carter has reached another major milestone..... Bad Breath! He woke up from his nap the other day and I was surprised to smell that smell coming out of his mouth. He does have 8 teeth now. Darn teeth! They are the cause of all this! Oh Well!

Impossible






It is so hard to take a good picutre these days. Especially when the situation involves two two-year olds. I was trying to get a good picture of J.J. and Cole (his cousin) at a wedding. It was pretty much impossible. They still look cute though!

RENO NEVADA




So me and josh had a little get away this last week for a few days. We drove to Reno, NV, it was a 6 1/2 hour drive, but we passed the time listening to the 1998 "Jock Jams" CD, boy did that bring back some weird memories. And I must say I couldn't believe how many trailor towns we passed on our way down. It was unbelievable how many trashy towns there were, I've never seen so many trailors in my life. I sound like a brat but SERIUOSLY! I hardly took any pictures when we were in Reno, but I managed to get this shot on the way back. Someone in one of the scariest towns we passed built this tower of CRAP, it was just a ton of trash piled up so high, and it was somewhat organized trash I guess. I just took the picture as we wizzed by in our car so it's not the best, so that's what that picture is in case you were wondering.
Reno was great though, we went out to eat, gambled $7, went shopping, tried to go to the temple (to find my recommend was expired :( ) Nothing like a vacation to get you excited to come back to your regular life. Josh's family watched the boys, his sister Alish is up with her two kids so I'm sure it was a handful. Thanks so much to them for doing that! It was nice to just be husband and wife for a couple days.

Cousins!


How cute are my neice and nephew!? And my kids of course. This last week they were able to spend alot of time together while me and Josh took a little vacation/business trip to Reno, NV.
I was so happy to hear that Cole and J.J. who are just 2 days a part in age, got along so well. They both had a little changing to do. Cole loves being ROUGH and AGGRESSIVE. And J.J. isn't used to any kids touching him, and he's more of a Gentle (slightly woosey) giant, and would whine about anything cole was doing to him. So I think they are used to each other now, and I'm sure they will get along better.
I am so glad that J.J. and Carter have such GREAT cousins to play with.
