Blah, Blah, Blah

I little rant if you will...

I am feeling tired today I swam 29 laps last night.

After two years I put curtains in Gavin's room thinking it would finish his room, but once they were up I now see that I need to re-do his room all together.

This week I finished sewing everyones Halloween costumes, I will probably never sew with fur again.

I have been trying to be more thrifty, last night J Crew had a warehouse sale and I didn't go. believe me I was feeling physically sick from passing up $10 sweaters and crewcuts.

Thats all I have for now.

Birthday Wishes

I am definitely lucky in the Mother-in-law department. This lady is a true gem. She is super crafty, makes terrific food, and loves to laugh. She taught me how to make terrific bows, and also a plethora of Christmas decorations, there is nothing this lady can't do. Aside from her abilities she has got the looks, I have said many times I am glad that Chad got her features, especially her eyes. I just want to say how grateful I am for a wonderful friend in a mother-in-law, I love you so much. Happy Birthday!

another inner oprah

Because I know that you are all sitting there wondering what kind of candy to purchase for Halloween this year I will tell you that these are wonderful. They look like they glow in the dark and because you can't tell what flavor they are you eat all of them instead of picking out the red and pink ones.

Ghosts DOTS are what I am giving out to little tricker treaters this year.

this weekend I finally got around to listen to the entire Coconut Records album Nightttiming, and I have to say that while I know there popularity is on the rise, something that I normally abstain from, the album is pretty good. This album honestly sounds like he(jason schwartzman) and a bunch of famous friends (kristen dunst, zooey deschanel etc.) decided to throw down some tracks and I think that innocence is what make it endearing. Honestly, don't go looking for a deeper meaning, just play it and love it. I know I do even if they do play his songs on the Hills, gossip girl and 90210. Happy Listening. It's not you it's me is my favorite. click on it below.

Fall

I don't know how your kids do with waiting rooms but mine not so great. That is until I pull out the camera and let them have a little photo shoot. All I can say is LiFE SavEr!

Next, one of my fave pastimes. There is nothing better than me and 64,000 BYU fans spending an afternoon throwing back a few caffeine free cokes (that is all they sell) and cheering for the Mighty Cougars!

Lastly, Halloween is upon us and you know what that means...

And I have to say my two favorite accessories are the spiderweb on my ceiling and this mossy wreath. truly the pictures don't do justice.

An Ode

I knew when I started posting birthdays somebody would fall through the cracks, I just didn't think it would be this terrific girl.

For pretty much my whole life anything fun, crazy or amazing that I ever experienced, Tiff was right there with me for it, When we were little we did everything together, we didn't play with friends we just played with each other. We have some fond memories of cruisin', 98degrees, and lots of shopping, she was even with my the first two times I met Chad. Tiff is the the most giving person I know, she is constantly looking for someone to help and serve. When I had my first miscarriage I received the biggest bouquet of flowers ever and the note said, "love your sisters" in her handwriting. I have a lot of sisters, which is great because I have one for every aspect of my life, they all fill my life with different things, but Tiffani especially holds a special place for me, probably because of everything we have done together, and as life goes on and is constantly changing the one thing that I know is she is always there. Happy Birthday last week, sorry I am late! I love you so much, you have given me the most perfect niece, wonderful hair, and a wonderful friend.

bagoo magaw-I love space-captain adam

Long story short we went to Disneyworld{best place ever!}

Long story long.... Keep reading

A member from Chad's mission and a dear angel hooked us up big time with two free days to DW, we wanted another day and we were feeling cheap so we decided to do a timeshare presentation to get the third day for free-by the way if you are planning to go to DW in the future this is a terrif way to get the hook up.

After 90-120 minutes we had our tickets.

Keep keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times, coming up is a bunch of pics from DW.

The thing that made our trip extra magical was when we were given invitations to a special party after the park closed. We got to stay and ride the rides after everyone else left{along with some other people} and dance with the characters

Walt himself could not have planned a better trip, we did so many fun things and have some great stories, too many to post- but I will tell you what I learned from our trip:

1- putting toilet paper in your kids shoes will make them tall enough for all rides

2- you can hold up a fake plastic card as credentials so you don't have to pay for parking

3- you can pretend your sister is your wife to get extra free tickets

4- If you get mad at the ride attendants enough they will give you two rides in a row

5- Mickey is really a girl, and Minnie sometimes looses her eye balls

6- and lastly the frozen bananas look good but alas they are horrible

It was a freakin-fun-tastic trip, Yea for Chabbie Johanlaw!

be true to your school

I am joining the throngs by blogging about my child's first day of school. What make a better impression on the first day of school than tie-dye? Nothing I think.

one year older

At officially 9:54 Saturday Night Milo turned 1.

Of course we had a party.

We started off by doing a little tie-dye

They turned out tremendous. We grilled up some sliders- mini burgers if you will.

And of all the presents Milo opened his favorite was this singing Simpsons card he got from my his Great-Grandma everytime he opened it he would laugh and stick his head in the card.

We come to the finale of watching Milo eat his first birthday cake. The party was fun and I can't believe my baby is one.

One small step for man

Milo has been taking two and three steps for a couple of weeks now, but on Sunday he offically walked. It is amazing how you try so hard to get your kids to walk and when you watch them do it your don't believe your eyes.

MIA

My relationship with blogging is an interesting one. Somedays I can't wait to post something and somedays I extremely dread even logging on. maybe I should pull the plug all together, or maybe I should hire someone to blog for me. Either way as it is right now I am too tired to blog about my amazing B-day. maybe tomorrow.

Chris Merritt came out with a new album in June and I am ashamed that it took me until now to listen to it, seeing as I am his #1 fan. The important thing is that I did and it is AMAZING! You know when you love an album so much you listen to it over and over, and then when that artist comes out with a new album and it just isn't as good as the first? Well that is not the case with record dos, I dare say there are more tracks I like on this album than on hello, little captain. Okay I could go on and on the point is their music is terrif and you need to check it out. Click here to listen or click his name.

Robbie threw Annie a Surprise Party at Classic Skate. For those of you not associated with this establishment let me fill you in, it is where every 10-15 age kid goes and hangs out and roller skates! The party was way fun and of course we did it with flair.

Sorry the pics are dark or foggy, they love the lights and smoke machine at Classic

It was a blast whoever said Classic is lame never went there with us.
