I Just Love Her!

Berkeley was in a funny mood today. She was so goofy and laughing hysterically so I had to capture some of it. I love when she is like this. It is the best! And tonight Todds sister Heidi had her baby. She lives in China so his birthday is actually June 1st. How weird huh?!? Ashton has a web cam on his computer so we all got to talk to them and see the baby with that. Its so sad that we cant be there, or, actually, that they aren't here, because none of us are moving to China any time soon. But we are so excited to have a new addition to the family. So Berkeley has 4 cousins on Todds side and 18 cousins on my side. She is very lucky!

My Latest Obsessions

• Forever 21...it is just the best store ever invented. I don't think I can pay more than $30 for a shirt ever again. They have really cute shirts for those of us her need to cover up our shoulders and tummys. It brings me joy to walk into the store of chaos and happiness at the same time.

• driving by my new house...yes I do it every day. It always seems to be on the way to somewhere or on the way home. It is just finishing up framing stages so we can walk through it. We try to figure out where we are going to put what. Its pretty fun. Todds latest thing is walk in the back yard and figure out how he wants to do the backyard.
  
• Target...there is always SOMETHING to buy, whether it is a cute shirt, a new movie, a baby toy, baby clothes, cheetah shoes, a bangle, a print cartridge, or a vacuum. I love the place!!
  
• Bracelets...These two are my fave. I have been wearing some kind of bangle or bracelet every day. I'm obsessed! They are so dang cute.

• blogging... aren't we all???

The Graduate

Ashton, Todds brother, officially graduated from high school. We are sad because he is going away for the summer and then off on his mission.

Thank YOU Momand Dad!

This here is our newest favorite thing. It is the Nintendo Wii. My mom and dad bought this for all her kids as a Christmas gift,(an early one) and we just got ours a couple of days ago. Let me just say, this little white box that you see has entertained Todd and I, as well as a few friends for three nights in a row. It comes with sports games like Tennis and golf, and well, we have been addicted to tennis. We have had full blown tennis tournaments and everything. It has been great. So thank you mom and dad for bringing some new adventure into our lives!!!

Dont you just love kids

I know, Ive been a little post crazy the last couple days. Yes, I promise I have a life, but there are so many funny things to talk about!!! I just got this email today and I loved it, so I had to share a couple parts of it.

Ridiculously Creative

So I look at Heidi Swapp, who has her own scrapbooking company, at her blog every day, and today she made the CUTEST thing ever that I just had to share. Its a center piece for her kids to entertain themselves with. Why cant I be ridiculously creative like that?!?

Oh So Funny

Today I was doing my hair while Berkeley was crawling around and then I heard a thud, but no cry. I ran to the laundry room and found this. The rack fell on top of her, but missed any body part that would really get hurt. She didnt really know what to do with herself. It was pretty funny.

I Am Thankful

I AM THANKFUL FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT, BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME, AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO, BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, NOT ON THE STREETS. FOR THE TAXES I PAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED. FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS. FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT. FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE. FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME. FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION. FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM. FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR. FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR. FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD. FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE

Who are These People and Where Did They Come From?

Tonight Todd and I were eating dinner outside of a grocery store/restaurant enjoying our dinner. Then walks up a mother, holding her baby, but wait....shes also doing something else?!? As she approaches, I see her shirt rolled up exposing her whole stomach (to make matters worse, yes, it was extremely pale and chubby) Then as she walks right by me, I see her nursing her 9 month old baby, breast exposed and all. She didn't try to cover up what she obviously could have covered up. She seemed proud to show the whole world what was going on between her body parts and her baby. So naturally, I made Todd look because I had to share this abnormality with SOMEONE! About 5 minutes later she walks out of the store while "un-hooking" her baby. So then, it was FULL exposure for a few good seconds. She buckles up her bra, and puts her shirt back down, while standing next to her husband and 2 children. Oh no... there is more...She starts rubbing her breast like there is some kind of itch or pain, so she proceeds to take it out again, no baby around, and FIDDLE WITH IT!!! Folks, I am not joking! This is fully in a public place! She fiddles with it fully out for about a minute, in front of her husband, then decides she is done offending the WORLD and is done with the show while I, 20 feet away experienced the whole thing. Sheesh... where do these people come from!?!
