rain rain go away

today brighton and I attempted going to church....


daniel had to leave for work by 6:30am and wasn't able to join us. I stayed up late preparing my lesson for my little 6 year old (yes I tend to procrastinate) i hate teaching by myself, but thankfully i have a dream class. i woke with a kiss on the cheek  and the sound of daniel locking the door behind him. i fell back to sleep and woke up at 8 am to the sound of rain. not my alarm. it was nice. i hate alarms they just make me wake up not happy. i understand why they must be so annoying, but i don't have to like it. okay i have an hour to shower get ready and get bright ready i think i can do it. who was i kidding i could not do it. i got bright fed and dressed, me not fed but dressed and we were out the door only 1/2 hour late.


 it's raining pretty hard, i think to myself your hair is going to be a fuzz ball! and it was. i pull up to the church builing to find no one there. with a confused look on my face i park the car run up to the door in my heals with the fear of falling in the back of my mind to find a note on the door. it reads stake conference 10-12 at stake center. I swear we just had stake conference. i don't know why i didn't know we had stake conference.? i find the address to the stake building and go back and forth, back and forth in my head saying just go... no just go home... i figure i am dressed b is dressed i am in the car and i still have 20 mins to get there. i will just go.


 it was in the next town over but i could get their before ten. i find the building and this place is packed i mean super packed! they have people directing traffic and i had to park 1/2 mile away from the building. i park get bright out of the car me in my heels and we start walking to the stake center. b tried to jump in every puddle he could see, we were getting no where at this rate so i decide to carry him. he doesn't like this so he kicks his legs and get's his dirty shoes all over my  shirt and skirt... perfect. still going through my mind you should just go home but i keep walking.


 we arrive at the building and their is not a seat in site. i walk to the very back and see some chairs up on the stage. i was not sure how this was going to work with brighton but i made it this far so we kept going. it's pitch black on the stage people looking up at the speaker on the screen and b has no wiggle room. he tries to escape i try to keep him on my lap so he is not bothering the people to my right and my left. i did not succeed. he escapes. there was no way he was going to sit in my lap for 2 hours and so i follow behind him. 


there was  no where for him to hang out and i find my self not listening to one single word the speaking is saying just chasing b. i run into my home teacher and he tells me he got there 40 mins before and they still had a hard time finding a seat. after 10 minutes of me about to loose my mind from chasing b i give up. i found the nearest exit and exit we did!


 here we go another 1/2 a mile to the car and now it is raining hard!  b jumped in every puddle he could find and i could care less. the smile on his face made me less angry with walking in my heels in the rain getting my hair wet that i just blow dried that morning. so after all that we came home both looking like a hot mess! 


 I can't believe I am going to post this picture of myself could i look any uglier!?

It's starting to hit me


that my baby really isn't a baby, he is a little boy. 
ugh! it's so weird. 
he turned 16 months. every month i think how can he change 
so much in 1 month? and each month he does. 
he has four molars that came in this past month. 
the only reason why i knew they were there was because 
he wouldn't stop biting me.
no crying no waking up in the night nothing 
just biting  
he now goes down all the big slides at the park
even the biggest ones! 
he lays on his tummy and goes all the way down. 
he knows no fear! 
in the last couple of weeks he is trying to talk in sentences soooo bad! 
i maybe catch one word in the sentence 
ma ma 
juice {mumbled} 
did it 
bye bye 
no no 
ball
books 
blocks 
it is just so funny to watch 
he stares you right in the eyes and says {or so he thinks} a full sentence 
and next month he will get better at it 
and the next month maybe i will really be able to understand him. 
it's very fun with a little bit of sad on top
he is still taking 2 naps in the day 
first one an hour or two 
second one two or three hours 
this kid loves sleep 
he is also all boy! 
it's so funny how boys just love to do boy things 
his big thing right now is trucks big trucks he loves them 
i bought him a 2 dollar truck at target and it now goes every where with us 
i didn't know what i was getting my self into

Ending 2010

Daniel and I ended 2010 staying in a Condo in Park City, with our friends Trent and Lauren.
 It was so so cold up there. I forgot how cold it can really get in Utah!
It was below zero when we were there! We had a lot of fun though.
Some how Lauren and I talked the boys into going for sushi for dinner, it was so yummy!
 Then we walked and got hot chocolate. It was way too cold to do anything else outside.
 When we got to the Hotel we ate lots of junk food, went hot tubbing, played wii,
 and counted down to the strike of 12:00! 

Daniel asked my mom to watch Brighton for his Birthday present, so we could do a Brighton free night!
 It was nice to have our first night away but we missed him! 
(I only called my mom 3 times. Which I thought was pretty good)

Nice to see 2010 go and excited to see what 2011 will bring!  




 Daniel wore Laurens gloves... it was seriously soooo cold 


Also I finally finished my blog book from 2007~2010. 
It only took me a month, but it's done! I can't wait till it comes in!!!

Pedicures... ya why not.

Oh ya we took the boys to get pedicures! 
It was so cold in Utah we had to find something to do in doors. 
It was fun and relaxing, but the best part was watching the guys getting their feel worked on. 
We have some fun husbands+Michael that are down for doing different things
 and not being embarrassed to do it.  
(My mom watched B for us)

Side note

I think when every girl gets married they hope and wish that they will get along with their  hubby's friends wives. I'm happy to say I totally lucked out in this department! They are some of the sweetest girls and I am happy to say I get a long so well with all of them! I know it makes it easy on the husbands that we all like each other. :) 

So here's to you girls! Love and miss you all! 

A small get together

I love hanging out with Daniel's friends and their wives. 
When we get together the girls talk, the boys reminisce about elementary school and tease Michael about his dating life. (we might join in a little on this one) 
We were up at Mary's parents house just talking laughing and playing the Wii until about 1 am!  

The boys made me take this picture of Derek, they love the pose. 






Thanks for the fun night guys! 
Miss you already! Until next time...

showing no emotion

I thought B would love sledding, and we got nothing I mean NOTHING out of him.
Not a laugh or a cry. Just a straight face.
Uncle mark took him down the biggest part of the hill,
and if anyone has gone sledding down the Peteetneet hill they know this is no easy hill.
 Mark said that B didn't do or say anything until they got to the very bottom of the hill.
 B saw a helicopter and made all kinds of Oooos and Ahhhs!
The things that amuse little boys.
We had a lot of fun, next year will be more exciting I hope!












This is Zach he was all over the place going down the big hills! 
A funny story about this picture. 
Me: Look how fast that kid is going, he is heading straight for that grass/mud patch! 
Daniel: Oh no that kids mom is going to be pissed!
Mark: Ya she will 
Natalie (my sister): Ya because that's my kid! 

Ha ha we were dying laughing! 
How can you stay mad at that face. :-)

15 almost 16 month stats

Because of the holidays and the fact that I had to switch doctors because we got onto new insurance, 
we got into the 15 month appointment a little late.  
B really liked the new doctor she was really nice. 
It's also nice that I don't have to drive to San Jose anymore. It was time for a change. 

He looked so cute running naked around the office
 I had to whip out my phone and take some pictures. 



I don't know what he was doing here?

Christmas Morning


I was so happy that we were able to wake up Christmas morning to a BIG Christmas tree,
 and being at my parents home. 
My mom was also happy, she said it wouldn't have been the same without B there. 
He still doesn't understand the concept of Christmas and Santa,
 but he did understand the concept of opening presents. :-)

She had everything planned out so well.
