Today....................

I went to sleep on the couch AT 5 A.M. because Jeremy was snoring like crazy. I wonder what would happen if i shoved a sock in his mouth :) He may die from stocking asphyxiation but at least I'll get a peaceful night's sleep!

LJ and I went to the rec center and watched the elderly play basketball (It's the senior games) - granny shots and all! Then we ran 2 miles on the indoor track while watching the lady Alyshia and I usually see run around the track while leaving her sleeping baby in his stroller against the wall. (We call her Leggy McLeavesHerKid)

We had Mommy & Me swim class! Lj loved to sit on the edge of the pool and lunge off to me. She laughed hysterically! We played Duck, Duck, Goose and Ring around the Rosies and LJ didn't choke one time when she went under the water! She also did great kicks when trying to swim to her toy!

I finished some pointless and monotonous homework (every day is closer to being done!) and did my best not to make up answers instead of actually doing the work. It's hard cuz sometimes my ability to B.S. far surpasses my knowledge on whatever subject I'm studying.

I played with LJ in the backyard until water seeped up through our supposedly waterproof picnic blanket and made me look like i peed my pants. Sadly, I got over it and didn't even bother to change.

I Watched Gracie for Alyshia and Chad because they had a temple prep class! Yea! Soon their loads of white laundry will quadruple!!!!! Gracie and I played hide and seek and then she had a fun bath and we read two stories twice each and then waited out on the swing for them to come home

I Bought a Hot-N-Ready pizza (Gross, but convenient) and watched The Happening with my husband - My Review: Movie was lame but Mark Wahlberg kept my attention :) It's hard not to watch when he's so easy on the eyes.

And here's a picture of my babe just for fun - You know, cuz she's just too cute! (Doesn't she look just like her Daddy here?!)

I can't believe I completely forgot to mention that my child now crawls and pulls herself up on everything. She's been crawling for about three weeks now - she was trying her hardest to move and then one day she said, "Oh, I think maybe I'll crawl today." So now, she's is all over the place. She pulls herself up to sort through her toys and will crawl any distance if it involves her being able to reach a dirty flip flop to chew on - Gross!

Her new favorite thing is to rip up magazines. She pulls them down and rips to her heart's content. I just have to be careful because on more than one occasion she's upchucked some paper :).

She likes to follow anywhere the pups go so I'm just waiting for her to try and go out into the backyard through the dog door :)

We went to Salt Lake for a long weekend and had a blast! Jeremy needed to meet with some clients so LJ and I went with him for a little shopping and hanging out with the family. The weather was great and I even needed a jacket - something we St. Georgians keep in the attic for "special occasions"

LJ and I hung out at IKEA for a while while Jeremy worked one day and she began to fall asleep in the shopping cart (I told her maybe if you nap when you should this wouldn't happen lol) and so I went to pick her up and she was covered in poop! So I couldn't carry her through the store so I just hurried through it, manuvering past gawking shoppers and occasionally sliding into displays, while she slept with her head in my hand. Thankfully we made it to the restroom (and double thankfully I brought an extra outfit with me) and poop was everywhere! I swear she holds it in specifically let loose her poopstorms in public locations.

Poop currently in progress!

Then we decided to go to the zoo on Saturday. Tracy, Jeremy, LJ, and I had so much fun reminiscing about when went to the zoo as kids. We even let LJ drink from the Lion fountain that we all remember loving when we came many many many many years ago! LJ loved, loved, loved, the animals but especially the ones that were close to the fence, moving around, or walking around the park (like the peacocks and turkeys). She screeched and laughed and it was the cutest thing ever!

Kelly came down from Logan on Saturday afternoon and we sisters all drove to Ogden to watch Carson and DSC play Weber State (they didn't fare to well - but isn't it sportsmanship what really counts lol?). Poor Carson took a really hard hit in the third quarter and received a fairly nice concussion. He walked off the field but says he doesn't remember doing it. But I got some really nice pictures of him playing and we even saw our cousin Patrick's long lost twin. I wanted to ask him for a pic but that would probably have weirded him out! All in all it was a great night!

Patrick's long lost twin in the yellow!

We went to Carson's first football game of the season on Saturday! It was so stormy and windy until about 6 o'clock and then the weather just cleared right up and it was perfect weather for a football game. Lindsay had a great time! I got her a little DSC cheerleader outfit and she loved screaming like everyone else when the team did something good!

I got some really good pictures of Carson while he was playing - Go 86!!!! (I'm still so used to him being #4 so I kept confusing him with someone else on his team).

Hopefully the good weather keeps up so that it will be nice and cool for next Saturday's game.

I set my little girl in her crib the other day and she was able to to stand in it holding on to the rail. Just yesterday I had to cradle her little head and now she's a little independent girl. It's bittersweet!

We went to the park on Friday and just enjoyed the day! It wasn't as hot as it normally is - hence our willingness to venture outdoors- and we played with the pups and Lindsay grabbed and tried to eat the grass :) A tasty treat I'm sure! I can't wait until it gets cooler and we can be outside more!

Tracy came down for the weekend so we thought it would be fun for me, her, and Kelly to go down to Vegas for some shopping before she went home and Kelly moved back up to Logan. I forget, though, how much I truly hate Vegas - especially in the day - and DOUBLE especially in the middle of summer. We did find some good deals though, which is always a plus.

We were gone pretty much the whole day so Lindsay hadn't seen Baxter or Willie for quite a while. I was holding her while I was getting her bath ready and the boys came in and she went hysterical. She laughed louder than I ever heard her laugh before. She laughed so hard she scared Will and he started barking at her :) I got a cute video of her on my cell phone showing just how much she really loves her puppies.

On a sad note, we already miss Aunt Kelly :( We hope she's already having fun up north!
