Oh. My. Gosh

Is he not the CUTEST thing on earth?!?!?

I get to see my duckie!!

I'm going down tomorrow (by shuttle...this will be an adventure...my dad says it's like a limousine...ya...) to see my nephew!!! I can't wait!!

Baby :)

Enoch! My nephew!

Isn't he a doll!!

Monkey bread

I made monkey bread for breakfast on Saturday. All I can say is I am pleasantly surprised that I was raised with this allowed for breakfast occasionally. All it is is sugar, cinnamon, and butter mixed together and poured on dough!!!! So fabulous

Sleeping

Our dog sleeping....half standing?

Blast from the past

I'm thinking every once in a while I'll be doing a "blast from the past" post. Today's is about Gimpy the Mouse.  Let me tell you about Gimpy the Mouse.  Gimpy the Mouse was in my house (wow I should write a dr Seuss book!) while chris was out working when we lived in Albuquerque. I saw something dart quick across my living room floor. I, of course, immediately jumped up on the couch calling for help. Realizing there was none, I gained my composure, and ran over to find SOMETHING to help me. All I really wanted to do was scare it back outside (my door was open on the first floor, I know, my fault). Unfortunately, as I jumped up to get something, the mouse got scared (my original intention) in the wrong direction and darted over to under the couch.

So, grabbing a mixing bowl (the only think I could think of to capture it), I moved the couch, jumping, screaming, and running....mouse doing the same.  One time, I finally got the mixing bowl on top of him....but only sort of. I realized I had caught him by his leg! Poor thing. So THEN I had this mouse gimping around across my carpet!! With a clearly broken leg, I couldn't let him back outside!! He would die!! So, I was able to capture him much easier under the mixing bowl. obviously. So I did, and then slipped some cardboard under him, allowing me to pick him and the bowl up and keep him on my counter.

I fed him nuts and graham crackers, and gave him water in the cap of a water bottle. I also gave him a wash cloth to call home, and named him "gimpy". I kept him for long enough for his leg to recover and then took him to a big open nature place and let him go.

Loved my gimpy mouse. Scared the crap out of me though!

How I love sugar!!!!

Always on the phone

Texting texting texting. Some of us want attention here!!!

Just kidding he's not always on the phone. Just sometimes when we want the most attention :)

Us sick=her heaven

I hate being sick. And we're BOTH sick :( i think i gave it to the hubby. So we've been lounging for the past 2 days trying to get better...lots of sleeping, reading, and movies (not that I'm complaining)...not much else gets done...so it makes for one happy puppy!!

My baby

So I know everyone is having babies right now, so I decided to post a picture of my child. I mean, she's a bit furry, but she sleeps and cuddles a lot and gets really excited when I come home.

So I think that's good enough for now :)

Will I ever have another picture of me?

Probably not. But here's daddy and his baby playing on the floor. Chris has her squeaky toy under him squeakin away, while she is digging at him to try to get it.

Pretty cute :)

In the mornings...

I often find our doggie here. Snuggled (or stuck?) between us in a tiny space that she can just barely fit her little body.

She's cute

Healthy dessert!!!

Oh my goodness I just made this and Ohhhh my goodness.

Let me first tell you, that I still hate yogurt. Yuck. BUT I've heard all of those commercials about how she stocks the fridge with key lime pie, and black forest cake etc. (well done commercials!!), so I decided to take a chance on the key lime pie.

Oh my goodness! Strawberries, bananas and key lime pie mixed...sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!! You should try it.

April showers bring BIRTHDAYS!

So now that 3 of us kids are married, and the fourth holds down a boyfriend, we celebrated 6 birthdays in April!!! So we got pizza and cake and had a little birthday party last night! Basically it consisted of basketball, food, and laughs (typical).

It was fun. I'm glad I'll be closer to family living in Idaho rather than Cali. Especially because I'll have a new little nephew soon!!!

We're off!!!

Well, this was on Tuesday April 19th. We drove 11 hours straight to Utah. Packed up the next day, saw family (picture to come), and took care of quick needs, and took off! We are now on the road to Idaho, where we will spend the next couple of years while hubby finishes school!

Here's to a new section of life!

Double Chinese

So hubby ordered pizza the other day. Put his name in double Chinese.

Upon pickup, he then proceeded to convince everyone working that that really was his name....

Liar :)

NO MORE CHEMO!!!!

The last day of chemo was April 18th!!! Last Monday really was a great day. So relieving. And the last bad/make him sick chemo was April 11. After that day, we walked in to our room to see this...Heidi had strung it up on our headboard :) loved it!!! Great celebration!!!

Chris got a blessing the day before the awful 10 hour (last one!) chemo day, and it was just the most beautiful blessing. I feel so lucky to be able to receive those, and even more lucky that chris can. Faith is sometimes hard to keep strong when you're going through hard times, but blessings really calm me and reassure me. I'm thankful for them.

So we're done!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Parrot

I swear hazel would love to be a parrot...so in the car, this position is quite common! Sitting on my shoulder, front paws on the center console. Maybe it's so she can be closer to hubby? Who knows.

Well, last round of chemo is comin up!!! Can you believe it?? LAST ROUND FOR GOOD!!! Next Monday! We are excited but also dreading :) so prayers prayers prayers por favor!!!

Today, I am here

It's 80 and sunny here in beautiful California! Hubby is out golfing with the boys, so I took a day for myself at the beach {of course with lots of sunscreen :)}

Today was glorious
