I'm Free!!

The breastfeeding tracker is no more! I am officially done. 10 months ain't too shabby... I'm proud of that number.

Better Late Than Never...

A little mushy love blurb for Aaron for our Anniversary even though it's a late post...

This picture is from when I went through the Bountiful Temple to take out my endowments. Aaron had to work a graveyard shift the night before and then ended up getting really sick. So that morning I was so sad thinking that he wasn't going to make it. But to my surprise he was ready to go early that morning with having no sleep. He puked a few times on the way down and I kept thinking that this kid was crazy to still come. But he told me that he had to be there for his girl and because this was the one time that we would be able to be on the other side. ;) I was so nervous going in that day but the first time I was able to see Aaron I was completely calmed. I'd never felt better about our decision. Aaron also had never felt better... he hadn't puked in awhile. The whole time during the temple he felt completely fine and wasn't sick. But after going out to breakfast, it all came back... That was one of the best days of the start of our many happy days together. The next few days were just a blissful blur until we got married. We just celebrated our 3rd Anniversary and I'm so happy that we stuck it out with each other through our rough engagement to finally get married! I look at our wedding pictures and we were so giddy and in love. After 3 years we're still just as in love. Even though it seems like we're maybe not as giddy as we were that day, we're closer and share a deeper love and friendship than before. He's my best friend, my roommate, a cuddle buddy, movie pal, temple partner, prayer companion, comic relief and best daddy and he's mine forever! I mean he's no Edward, but he's my Edward and I love him...

What Do BYU Students and Utah Students Have In Common?

They both applied for BYU! Thanks Rusty for the laughs... Well on Saturday my family had a mini pre-thanksgiving dinner for some family that wouldn't be in town next Thursday. It also happened to be THE byu/utah game. Tatton is stuck in the middle. Aaron dressed him in those evil red and white colors so I had to paint some blue on his face for the cougs. I think the pictures speak for themselves. The last ones would be from the following morning when Aaron gave Tatton a piece of pumpkin pie to eat all by himself, yikes...

a few things that i LOVE...

1. my boys... of course

2. A newly found solution to showering dilemas. Usually I am able to shower at night or early in the morning before work. But on days that i'm home with Tatton I either have to wake up early before he does to shower, wait until he is napping or lock him up in the bathroom with me and hope he doesn't get into any trouble. My solution... I've put him in the shower with me. Possibly weird, maybe... but a fantastic solution, yes! He loves it. And it is multi-tasking, he gets clean too. He doesn't care at all that he's sitting on the floor getting water right into his face, he just laughs. It has been quite nice, but if any of you give it a try, might I warn you that your baby is much more slick than usual... almost dropped him yesterday.

3. Katie will appreciate this one... I actually forked out the money and bought real "professional" shampoo and conditioner. This was a big one, I am cheap. I never thought it was worth it to buy that stuff when the many various brands from WalMart seemed to be just fine for me. I was wrong. I bought Matrix Biolage smooth therapie and my hair has never been so soft and clean. I highly recommend it!

4. For some reason in my old age, my face is struggling. I used to have no problemo with acne but ever since I got knocked up, I break out so much more and easier it seems. I've watched those Bare Minerals infomercials and wanted to order it, but as you know i'm cheap. So I thought that I would first test it out by buying a cheaper imitation brand and see how it faired. I bought Maybelline's Mineral Power powder and things in that line to try out. I love it! Just the powder covers my face, evens it out and covers up acne spots really well. i don't have to wear foundation or concealer anymore so my face feels much more natural. And my face isn't as oily anymore and it's not breaking out as much as it did. So now I'm thinking after Challise and I discussed Bare Minerals since she has actually boughten it, I want to go for it and splurge for the real stuff. Either way, I think mineral anything is worth trying and probably works pretty well.

5. Very Sexy perfume from Victoria Secret. It smells so... well sexy. I love it. I walked into the bathroom at work one day and there was a girl in there who smelled so good. So I asked her what she was wearing and she informed me what it was. She told me that she gets a lot of compliments on it and people ask her all the time what it is. So I was glad I wasn't the only weirdo. Anywho, my sweet hubby surprised me with a bottle of it today. Now i get to smell Very Sexy!

6. The Backyardigans. For those of you with kids and have entered the world of "you get to watch kid shows now" this is a good one. It's the cutest little show. They dance and sing which doesn't sound that great since most shows do. But this one has the cutest, catchiest songs and Tatton will really stop and watch them. He dances when they do and gets excited at the beginning of the show. Anyway, it's cute. They are on Nick Jr. at 10am, 2pm and 6pm if you're interested. The dvd's and cd's are worth purchasing...

7. Aaron with his hat on backwards...

8. Tatton crawling. Well, that's not entirely true. Sometimes i wish he didn't because he is everywhere and into everything!!! But my favorite thing about him crawling is watching him just playing and then he'll look up at me and smile. He drops everything and crawls his way over to my lap while saying "ma" and climbs up for a hug. That's hard to beat...

In case any of you were curious...

AARON PASSED HIS TEST!!!!

Sigh, it's so nice to have that stress gone. Now we just wait to find out his score from his interview and he has a large packet, no kidding about 100 pages, of background questions he has to answer. Then he has to go have those same questions asked while he's hooked up to a polygraph machine to make sure he answered them truthfully... fun huh? I told him I wanted to sit in on that one, make sure I know all this kid's history, every dirty detail! So it looks like we really are going to be moving to Las Vegas someday, ah!

Questionable Crowd at BYU Game

Saturday Aaron and I had the chance to go to the BYU Game with my brother Ryan, his wife Racquel and their two girls Gabby and Macquel... didn't end up with a picture of them though? Anyway, so we drove down through Provo Canyon and it was so beautiful.

This was us enjoying the good game...

A little picture of the stadium, we didn't have the best seats but we couldn't complain since it was free!! They won by the way...

We were having a good time until this started happening in front of us...

These questionable acts of back rubs and sitting on each other's laps are the fine Young Men of Bear River. Why their Young Men Leaders didn't put a stop to this, we don't know. Ryan and Aaron wanted to slap the kids upside the head but luckily they refrained. Aaron took a picture of the bench in front of us to document that there was no need for them to be sitting on laps, they chose to cuddle up. Unfortunately the kid in the black and grey, his hands didn't always stay where they were. They ventured to the other guys back and legs at times. Needless to say, we weren't able to concentrate on the game.

Boys...

I was a little bored today and decided to give online scrapbooking a try. Tatton is growing up so fast right now! Everyday it seems like he is doing something new. It's amazing that his little body can do all that it does. He's crawling, climbing, standing, you name it we're right on his heels. The kid needs to wear a helmet because he has no fear and yesterday I don't know how many times he ate it and hit his head. But atleast we're not raising a whimp right? I've decided that he is all boy due to the noises, faces and mischief he gets into and he is adorable doing it all.
