Family Update

Jared's Dad recently bought a new sports car... A Pontiac Solstice.
Like good children should - we took it for a spin.
It goes fast..... like REALLY fast! It was so much fun.
This would be Jared's "Please can I have one too?" face!...
I told him Yes... go ahead, you would need to get a third job though!



This sun is in our eyes but we were at a stop light so I tried to get a picture where we were both looking.... it didn't really turn out - but has a nice wind blown hair look huh!

So this is Elder Paea. Elder Paea is from Australia. Jared's brother Tye is serving his mission in Australia. Elder Paea was friends with Tye and the other missionaires who are serving in Australia before being called on his own mission. Elder Paea was called to the Philippines, but while in the MTC injured his shoulder and had to have surgery. Long story short he was assigned to our area and was able to come over to Jared's parents home last Sunday with this companions for dinner. It was really neat to meet him and talk to him about Tye and Australia. He is a really nice, friendly guy and we had such a nice visit with him. We look forward to 2010 when he will be able to come back to visit again after completing his mission!

Thanks Jare!

So I will just start out by saying my husband is the best man ever! Sorry ladies, he is taken and is mine... for eternity! For our date night tonight my amazing husband bought me a new {pink} laptop! I love it!!! I know it is super cheesy but my only requirement for the laptop was that it needed to be... pink! I made him make all the other decisions - you know all that computer humbo jumbo that girls don't understand. I hope now I can be a better blogger.... don't hold your breath though. Jared thinks I will now be motivated to go back to school next semester with this fancy new pink laptop.... but for now it will be my trusting blogging and FHE packet making companion! THANK YOU BEAR!

Found It!

So my last post was my disturbing discovery of a "breast feeding ticker".... But I have found what I was looking for when I stumbled across those disturbing images below....

Fear not! For behold, I bring you glad tidings of GREAT joy....

A CHRISTMAS count down ticker!! I am so excited.

 I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

 I officially started listening to Christmas music on Monday... September 22. Just getting ready for the big Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert this year!!  I also bought my first batch of cinnamon pine cones at Wal-Mart, hey if Wal-Mart is displaying things for Christmas, then I should too!

What the???


Lilypie Breastfeeding Ticker

I came across this as I was innocently looking for a ticker..... This is not an announcement.
Just wondering... WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT THIS TICKER ON THEIR BLOG??

No worries for the "business mommy"... your ticker was created too....
 Lilypie Breastfeeding Ticker

This is just sick and wrong!  No one, including me cares how long you have been breast feeding! Why in the world would a ticker like this be even made? Check it out.... it is disturbing! www.lilypie.com There is more "breast feeding ticker graphics" to choose from then the little kids or bugs that move along the ticker saying "I am 4 months 3 week and 2 days old"...

SICK! I TELL YOU! WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?


Lilypie Breastfeeding Ticker

We have people in this world dying from starvation... 
How will you make a difference?? By making a ticker for breast feeding??  The guts of people to even create something like this.... Not to mention the audacity of people to blog about it!

SCHRUTE BUCKS!

So if any of you missed the Season 5 Premier of The Office last night.... YOU MISSED OUT!
We LOVE The Office and have been re-watching all 4 seasons just in prep of last nights big one hour season premier! Our review?
Jared: It was funny! But, if it takes a few different twists that it hinted at I wont be able to watch it. Jim is the hero character... if anything happens so he and Pam don't work out then the "hero" character is dead in my eyes.
Davian: It was great! If Jim and Pam don't work out I will be bugged.  Angela and Andy need to call off their engagement, and Angela and Mr. Schrute need to hook up... and let their relationship be known. 

A new Office interactive game is available to purchase in stores (The Office DVD Board Game). You can play a little sample round online at www.pressmantoy.com.  We got a perfect score. Hummm,  now to figure out what we will spend all of our Schrute bucks on ???...

An Old Married Couple

Last night Jared and I decided we reached the ultimate as "an old lame married couple".  Our "lameness" (is that a word?..) started when I got home from a big 3 1/2 hour work day and decided "Jare, I need just a little nap. Like 20 min. Then I will do my cleaning and run some errands, alright..." He agreed to wake me up in 20 min..... Well that 20 minutes turned into a two and a half HOUR nap!  Was it amazing? You better believe it! Did I have the motivation to do everything on my 'To Do' list after that? Not exactly! I wanted to not do a darn thing! I did manage to do a few loads of laundry and go grocery shopping and birthday shopping for my nieces. But, my 'To Do' list only has 3 check marks on it.... Oh well, there is always Monday.

This does not end our lameness, oh no it continues.... We then decided that we didn't feel like cooking and heating up the house so we order from Zubs, which I won't complain about! I love Zubs! When I get home from picking up Zubs we eat dinner and then decided to continue on our quest of watching all of The Office seasons before Season 5 starts on September 25! (I feel an Office season premier party coming....)  My favorite opening to an episode happens to be on Season 2, Disc 2 episode 2.  I watched it about 10 times and busted up laughing each time! It's the one where D'Wight is sitting on the "fitness orb" telling Jim and the benefits of using it.  Then Jim picks up his scissors and walks over and pops the fitness ball and D'Wight falls to the ground... oh it is funny! I can't find it on youtube to link it - sorry! Anyone else I'm sure could find it:)


While watching The Office Jared was working on homework and I was lying on the couch. Let's just say I felt like a 3 year old when he woke me up at 10:30 and told me to just go to bed.... Let's see I took my 2 1/2 hour nap starting at about 1:30 in the afternoon and then he WOKE ME UP at 10:30! What is wrong with me?.... Maybe it has something to do with being awake past 4 am for three nights this past week! So I got ready for bed and slept until the wonderful hour of 7 am.  I really have no idea when Jared finished homework and came to bed..... Like I mentioned, I slept like a champ! 

I think now after just 16 months of marriage we have reached "oldie" status.... at least when it comes to being a lame married couple!

Where did August go?

So it has been FOREVER since I made a post..... Not that I have anyone interested in my life that reads on a daily basis or anything! So I just realized it will be a month since my last post tomorrow..... Shameful! So here is a quick update:

* I had just over a week of forced vacation time in August... NOT Fun! I was sitting at home doing dishes, cleaning, and laundry (using my precious "paid vacation hours") while the doctor that I work for was having a FUN vacation! Gurr......
* I took a girls trip to St. George with My mom, sister and Aunt. We met my Grandma there and brought her back up to spend a few weeks with us!
* Jared started school... again:(
* We went out to our favorite Thai Restaurant, Thai Ruby... that place is amazing!
* We spent some time with family and friends with lots of talk about/blog about but no time to actually put in into the computer!

September brings our family a lot birthdays, so as to not leave anyone out here is a BIG Birthday shout out to all of our September Birthdays, we hope you have a wonderful day!
Today September 05 - My Mom
September 09 - Tiff
September 10 - Jared's Mom
September 11 - Aunt Loi
September 14 - Aubrie
September 16 - Clint
September 25 - Allie

Just a sink full of dishes....

So I had this great idea that we should invite my sister and her family over for dinner.  Well it was more of  her idea after hearing her say "When are you going to make that for me to try!" On more than one occasion she has said then when talking to me when I have been making dinner.  So I checked her planner last week and wrote myself in as her dinner appointment tonight!  I called her this morning to remind her and we were set.  I invited my parents over as well.  

While talking to Breanne today we decided that we need to spend more time with our families.  Life is too precious to let it go by without spending time together, while making memories and documenting this time in your life. 

Anyway, they all come over for dinner tonight.  It was delicious.... the company was nice... the kids were so funny.... and all I have to show for it is a sink of dirty dishes! (That I am not complaining about.  Jared has a new rule for himself that he does the dishes for me on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  Well my friends.... IT IS WEDNESDAY!! Yeah for me:)

I didn't take a single picture.  I am so mad at myself.  That is an important part in the documenting process! So I guess now I need a repeat dinner date with the family so I can take some pictures of the night spent together. Better luck next time!
