I should be doing more important things!!!

So a few of you did a cute post telling new tidbits about themselves and I loved reading everyone else so I thought I would do my own.  So lets see who know me the best, or maybe you will all learn a little something new. I know your so excited right?

*I love Crafts (ok that was an easy one, everyone knows that about me)

*I still bite my finger nails, I'm sure I'll never kick that nasty habit.

*I'm deathly afraid of anything small and fuzzy!!! Mice, squirrels, rabbits etc..  Holy cow I'm getting the chills just thinking about them.

*If I found a magic lamp and had 3 wishes my first wish would be, not to have all the money in the world or for peace on earth,  but to have the BEST singing voice in the world. I can't carry a tune so I'm very jealous of all you good singers.  Which brings me to my next point.

* I love to sing in the car.  It is best by myself but now that I have 2 little ones, I still try and sing but Ryker says "mom no more singing" =(

*I don't like reading. I've probably read 5 chapter books my whole adult life. Yes sad but my mind wonders. Oh and I don't like many movies. I go to the theaters maybe once a year. Poor Shaun has to go with his dad.

*I love perfume!! I don't have as many as I use to,  but in highschool I had like 20 different kinds. I need to buy some more, I only have 5 or 6 bottles now =(

*Hate ALL seafood ... Barf

*My favorite music is from the 80's and Boy Bands!!  Where have all the boy bands gone? I guess the grew up and aren't boys anymore. I'm waiting for the new crops to comes in. I also will always love country music!!

*My favorite thing to do as a kid was build forts.  During the summer my mom didn't care if we had forts up all the time so we made this massive one in my brothers room and slept in it for days!!! 

*One thing I hope to do in my lifetime is ride really fast across a swamp on those boat things with the big fans in the back. I have no idea what they are called but I know I want a ride.
 
Well I'm tired of thinking of things hopefully you got a little more insight to why I'm the way I am. =)

Random Pictures

My baby girl is growing so fast. She is almost 8 weeks old now. She is starting to smile more and I took like 10 pictures and still couldn't snap the camera in time to capture it.  She is still such a great baby and we love the sweetness she brings into our home!!! 


Ok so a few weeks ago my sister thought it would be funny to put mascara on his lashes.  Yes I'll admit I have always wondered myself what he would look like, but I knew Shaun would kill me. Honestly his lashes are better without mascara!!! I know I hate it to and it is not fair, but the mascara just made them goopy and they didn't look as full.  So now that is out of our system hopefully we didn't turn him into a cross-dresser and he will forget she even did that to him.  Oh and the chocolate mustache just completes the whole look =)


If any of you hang around Ryker,  you know he has these crazy eyebrows and can give some nasty looks. This is a mild look!!

Um-Obsessed much, Yes!!

THE OFFICE Angela Kinsey as Angela Martin and Ed Helms as Andy Bernard star in the episode
So The Office is finally starting back up tonight !!!! I've been dying without my weekly laugh-fest. I feel like it is the night before Christmas, that is how excited I am. So here are a few quotes to really get ya pumped for the show.

Michael Scott after hitting Meredith with his car: "Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make."    (Fun Run episode)



The Office, Rainn Wilson, Angela Kinsey, Jenna Fischer, Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Creed Bratton, Paul Liberstein, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Leslie David Baker, Phyllis Smith, Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak
Michael Scott after sawing the top off a tree that was to tall for the office:
"That is a perfectly good mini-tree and we are going to sell it to charity. That's what Christmas is all about."



Oh so many more quotes, I could go on and on!!!!!!!

Conference Sunday




What a wonderful Conference weekend. It is hard to listen to everything when you have 2 kids but luckily both were napping during the last session which was my favorite. I'm sure all of us moms loved Elder Ballards talk. It came at a great time for me because just the day before I was telling Shaun can't get so frustrated when I can't get all "MY" stuff done or do the projects I want to do because my family should come first. So it was an important reminder that I choose to be a mom and with that comes sacrifice.  I wouldn't trade it for the world and I'm so grateful for my sweet kids.

So normally after Conference, we get together with my moms side and have a big dinner and then get in a huge circle and everyone tells what their favorite talk was. It is a great tradition we started a few years back. But we didn't get to do that today because my cousin had his court of honor tonight and some went to that. Well we didn't think Ryker and Amelia would do so good there, so we took them for a walk around the little lake and the library on Greenfield. The weather was perfect and it was lots of fun.



Ryker and Amelia






Amelia was so happy just sitting in her seat looking all around.


Ryker wanted to jump into the little stream but I got him to take a picture instead.



And of course it wouldn't be a trip with Ryker if we didn't leave like this!!
