For the Love People!!!!!

Ok I really don't keep up with all the latest celebrity gossip, but I was on the Internet and on the side of some site it had a picture of Ashlee and her husband saying they had their baby. Well they wouldn't be true celebrities if they didn't give their baby a terrible name. Why do they think it is ok to name your children bizarro names. I mean get a dog and give it a funky name if your dying to use it but these poor kids have to live with it the rest of their lives!!! So she named her son:   Bronx Mowgli    I mean seriously all I can think about is that little man-cub from the Jungle Book wandering around in Bronx, NY wondering where is Baloo!!!!  Well I make a list of some of the brilliant names celebrities have come up with. Pick your favorite!!

Yes these are REAL NAMES of children in Hollywood:

Zowie Bowie

Seven Sirius

Coco

Calico

Fifi-Trixebelle

Peaches Honeyblossom

Little Pixie

Apple

Bluebell

Moxie Crimefighter

Pilot Inspektor

Banjo

Moon Unit

Diva Muffin

Ok you get the point and the list could go on. I'm sorry I have a real issue with this. I also don't like it when people give sweet, cute, adorable little girls BOYS names. Sorry if that offends some of you but that is my opinion take it or leave it!!!!  

10 years and 8 months Down the TOILET

Literally 10 years and 8 months when down the toilet. Some of you might have know that I have made it through 2 pregnancies, the flu a few times without throwing up. I remember the day I last threw up March 31st 1998. It was the morning of a George Strait Festival. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were performing as well, all my favorites. My parents got tickets and I was taking several friends with me. Well I don't get sick often and I wasn't going to let that stop me from going. So I grabbed my rain poncho (because it rain most of the time and it was outdoors) and headed to the concert. I felt sick but enjoyed every minute of it!! So Yesterday I had a stomach ache in the afternoon but nothing terrible. I went to a reception for my cousin and Shaun was already there because he was doing her wedding video. Well not until I got home at 9:00, my stomach was not feeling good. I had that "I just need to throw up" feeling but knew I wouldn't and it would pass.  I get in bed because I was light headed and really achy, right when Shaun got in bed as well we hear Milly coughing and making gross sounds. Yup she had thrown up all over. Shaun was amazing and dealt with her while I had to get back in bed. He did this 3 more times with her then decided he would just sleep in her room because he is nervous about her choking on her throw up. So finally around 1:30am it was my turn. My heart started racing and I knew my  almost 11 yr run was going to be history.  After throwing up several times I felt so good. What a great feeling =)   But my stomach ache did return and I tossed and turned the rest of the night. Yes I should be in bed right now but I'm not one who can lay down for hours. I have to get up and move around, even though I'm weak and still don't feel good, sitting in front of the computer is not hard. So there is my throw- up story for you. I feel so bad  because I was around alot of people yesterday including Shantay who was in the hospital because she had to get her appendix removed.  I hope I didn't pass this along to anyone!!! Have a great Sunday.

Almost 9 months old

Why is it that the 2nd child just grows up so fast. I remember with Ryker I couldn't wait till he did something new, but now I'm like slow down small child you are growing way to fast.

Amelia has finally figured out crawling. Yes both my kids crawled at 9 months which is fine by me.  She still doesn't go fast but she has been rolling around for week so now she can move around a little better. Also this girl likes to eat. Ryker was hard to feed and didn't like much but Amelia will eat it even if she doesn't like the food, she just  wants to eat.

Once again these puffy checks are to die for, right now my little chipmunk has them stuffed with bananas.

She sits at the table with us now and wants to eat what we are eating.  A smile full with some bananas in it.

I couldn't get her to look at me but this is her in action.

She doesn't do as good on the tile, I think she just likes the soft carpet.   Oh I love my dollie so much, uni-brow and all =)

Ryker was Tagged

My friend Alissa tagged Ryker and I have to post 7 Random facts about my little man.

1. Ryker LOVES the outdoors. So this is not so random but we loves being outside. We have either gone for bike rides or to the park EVERYDAY for the past few weeks because the weather is wonderful. He is in heaven =)

2. Ryker is very, I like to say Ridged. I might have made up this word but he is borderline OCD (maybe he really is)

3.  Ryker has a fetish with my hair. I lay down with him, at least once a day whether is be just resting in the afternoon or when I'm tucking him at night but he lays and twirls my hair. I'll admit is is therapeutic to me as well.

4. Ryker is very obsessed with animals. Shaun and I don't like animals at all so poor kid will never have a real pet.  He pretends he is a tiger, turtle, cat, shark etc. all the time.  Totally cracks us up. He even prays for random animals when he says prayers.

5. Ryker loves salsa. He has liked it from a young age. My mom makes salsa all the time so their is ALWAYS homemade salsa at my parents. It is pretty much a fixture on the kitchen table so since he is over their so much he would eat it with the rest of us. 

6. Ryker is such a good boy when I take him places. He wasn't always like this but I don't mind taking him places anymore because is just loves to be out so he is a much better listener.

7. I know most of you see the scowling crazy boy he is but deep down he is such a sweet and loving boy.  He always tells me he loves me and Amelia and is very concerned about us.  He is going to be the best big brother to Amelia and protect her form all those creepy boys.  He sure is something else but I sure do love my Rykster!!!!!! 

Fun at the Zoo

I had a Preschool Field Trip on Thursday and we went to the Zoo. I couldn't have asked for better weather.  My mom came to help me with my kiddos, thank you mom!!

Ryker telling me about the Rhinos.

I have been to the Zoo many times in the past few years and never have I seen the Tiger come out from the back wall.  This was Rykers FAVORITE animal.

After about 2 hours, the other moms start to head out. A few of us stayed a little longer. Ryker didn't want to leave ever but Milly needed a nap.

Look at those 2 monkeys.  I told that to Ryker and he didn't think I was funny =)

I love this time of year!!! I think we will go back for Zoo Lights at the end of November when it starts. Shaun and I went years ago, before kids and thought it was lame but I bet Ryker would enjoy it and we can leave Milly at a Grandparents house so she doesn't spoil our fun. If anyone else wants to go let me know =)

24 years old... are you kidding me!!

Happy Day Abeos!!!!!  Growing up I always thought we got a day off of school for Abes Birthday. He was born 24 yrs ago Nov 11th 1984. At the time we were living in San Diego so he is the only one of us not a AZ native, he is a California boy.  Oh Abe what can I say, you are the best big little brother a sister could have. We were the best of buds growing up, (except for the 2 years I couldn't stand you) I think I was a pre-teen and you were annoying!!! =)  But you would play house or school with me then we would turn into the ninja turtles and be fighting off the evil Shredder. I'm glad we stayed close even through Highschool when I was a cool Senior and you but a dorky freshman.  I ALWAYS knew I could count on you for ANYTHING!!!!  I hope you had a great day and I can only hope Amelia and Ryker will be as close as we were.

For Pete Sakes, pull your shirt down in the back. I didn't get you a present yet and I know what I'm getting you a longer shirt!!!  Hey Abe you should be a plumber   hahahahahah, oh I'm so funny.

No but really You are the best uncle!! I love how you and Shannie love to play with my kids. Thanks for all the help and giving me a break every once in awhile!!

Heres to looking at the next 4 years

Well Hello new President. I really don't have much to say, whats done is done. I'm still upset that John McCain sold out his own party and didn't fight like he should have. He could have called out Obama on lots of things but was silent. The so called Maverick lost the fire he had in him and because of that we have a President who we know nothing about. Ok I guess I had a little to say but I will stop their.

On the flip side Prop 102 won!!!!!! Not only here and in Flordia but in California. I'll admit I was worried about that state but luckily their are still MORE people than not, who believe Marriage is for a MAN and WOMAN!!!  

Best of all 3.

Once again this post is for Sarah!! For starters the 2 pictures of you wouldn't open so I'm mad I couldn't post them as well.

So I have been dying to see this movie but we have just been busy and I could never find the time to go. Finally I knew my only chance was to go after our Stakes adult conference Saturday night. Shaun need to keep editing so I wasn't ditching him on a Saturday night. But I BEGGED my sister Sarah to go. Shaun and I got out of our meeting at 9:00 (thank you Abe and Shannie for babysitting) changed my clothes and headed off to Harkins to meet Sarah there. I was the first to buy a ticket to the 10:00pm showing. Which means empty theater right. Sarah and I had the whole place to ourselves, it was great. By now we were laughing so hard and goofing around Sarah who had never seen any of the other Highschool Musicals thought I was crazy to be so excited but man alive it was AMAZING!!! I had bought the soundtrack 2 weeks before and was ready to sing along.  It was the best out of all 3 by far!!! Oh please Disney make a HSM: College Years!!!!

I know I am brave for putting this picture on but I was so excited. 

Ryan, Sharpay, Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor and Me

Just hanging out and laughing with my friends after the show, great job guys.

Yes I know most of you think I'm lame and need to get a life but #1 I will always be a kid at heart (especially around my family) and #2  go ahead and make fun of me but I'm glad that the HSMs are GOOD CLEAN movies. I could have gone to Saw 5 or something nasty, raunchy and filthy. But I choose to go and have fun, sing and laugh!!!!!  Thanks again Sister Sue for going with me, I know I made you a huge fan now!!
