I HATE SNAKES!!!!!!

A few minutes ago we went to take Kylee for her nightly walk and we got to the end of our walkway and turned the corner and I heard something crawling around in our bush. I crouched down to see what it was and lo and behold it was a SNAKE. Oh man, you should have heard me scream. I immediately starting shouting out orders to Christian to get that thing out of my yard. I was not about to have a snake living with us. He kept asking me how big it was and of course in my eyes it's the size of an anaconda but as soon as he saw how big it was he just laughed at me and wanted to keep walking. Oh no he di'ent....... I made him get that thing out of the bush and take it to the field next to our house. I swear this snake is bigger in real life or maybe I am just exaggerating things as usual. I don't care how little or big this snake is. I don't want it anywhere near me or my house.

Christian taunting me as usual. He kept trying to stick it in my face. Who does that?

Yankee Meadow

On Saturday Me, Christian, his friend Lance Hill and his son Roman took a fishing trip to Yankee Meadow up Parowan Canyon. We dropped Kylee off at my sisters and we headed up to catch our dinner for the night. It was FREEZING cold and the wind was blowing like crazy but we (actually Christian) still managed to catch 3 fish. Lance got away with 10. They were all decent size and good eating. Anyone looking for a good fishing spot should go check it out before it gets too cold. I also took a few shots of the trees that are starting to change colors. It was so pretty and I'm super excited for fall to get here. Thanks again Marcy for watching Kylee. Oh and no laughing at me in the pictures. Christian told me I looked like the uni-bomber but who cares, at least I was warm. ENJOY!

Yummy!!!

Kylee had her first taste of rice cereal last week. The first time I gave it to her she cried and cried and cried. The second time she actually ate it and these are the pictures from her second feeding. It drives me crazy that it is all over her mouth, nose, arms, legs, pretty much her whole body. It takes everything out of me not to wipe her face off after every bite. Guess this is a learning experience for both of us. Kylee has to learn to eat the stuff and I have to learn to not be such a freak when she gets a little food on her face.

WOW!!!!

The rules: No cleaning!!!!! That is it, I want to see how you really live! And you must tag 5 people back. Here we go! And please don't judge!

1. Closet

Christian is definitely a lot cleaner than myself. My closest is kind of a wierd shape so you can't really see all of it. I did the best I could.

2. SinkOur sink is usually pretty clean. As soon as we are done cooking I usually do the dishes. Our arangement is that Christian does the cooking (he is an AMAZING cook) and I do the dishes.

3. Toilet

Good thing I just cleaned this the other day and good thing you can't see all the dirt on my base boards. NASTY!!!!

4. Laundry Room Good thing you can't see the counter space on the other side of the door.

5. Kids/Pets I choose the kids! We have been through two Bull Dogs and I would choose kids any day.

6. Place you want to visit The Phillipines. Christian served his mission there and he keeps telling me how amazing it is there.

7. Your fridge/freezer

Ok so we have not been shopping in a really long time. Our fridge is bare! SCARY

8. Self Portrait I have been avoiding the camera ever since I had Kylee so this honestly is the only picture I could find of myself. UGH!!!!!

9. Favorite room

My Bedroom. I love love love to sleep!!! It's a good thing my baby is a good sleeper.

10. Favorite shoes

Any Flip Flops - all year round. I love St. George

I tag Ashlee, Brooke Jensen, Brooke B, Keish, and Marcy. If anyone else wants to, GO FOR IT!

BLING!! BLING!!

Kylee got her ears pierced this afternoon and she was an AMAZING sport. She only cried for a split second then she was right back to being as happy as could be. I think it hurt me more than it hurt her. Doesn't she look cute?

Where should I park this thing?

I couldn't resist posting about this so sorry Christian. I love you deeply!!!

Last night at about 3 a.m. Christian pops his head up and says where should I park this thing? Having just been woken up out of a deep sleep I was a little confused as to what was going on. Finally realizing that he was dreaming I decided to play along and answer his question to see how far I could get with him. So he asked again "Where should I park this thing?". I said huh? what thing? At that moment he realized he had been talking in his sleep and he said "Oh, I guess I'm not driving a mobile home". HA HA HA. I started laughing so loud. It really was one of the funniest things I have heard in a really long time. I mean lets be honest. Who dreams about driving around a mobile home? Oh my dear Christian. He keeps me laughing while he is awake and asleep. That's one of the reason I love him like crazy.

We have a Politician on our hands

Last night I was feeding Kylee while I was watching the Republican National Convention. When she was finished I set her up on my lap and she just started smiling and hooping and hollering at the TV. I looked up and it was showing John McCain and behind him was a bright blue background. Every so often the camera would scan the audience and Kylee would stop smiling and just sit really quiet. But the minute the camera would show John McCain in front of that big blue screen she would start grinning from ear to ear and hooping and hollering again. Of all people to grin at JOHN MCCAIN?????? Christian obviously hasn't given his spill about Obama to Kylee. I'm really hoping she was just enjoying the big blue screen behind the old man instead of the old man himself. Who knows?

Iron County Fair

On Monday we got to spend the day in Parowan for the Iron County Fair. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to get out of the house and spend time with the family. I haven't quite convinced Christian that the fair isn't just full of carnies and red necks and that it doesn't wreak of cabbage. Maybe one of these days he will see the light.

Kylee was being entertained by her cousin Tyler and I tried my best to capture her smile but the camera wouldn't cooperate. This is the best I could do.

McKinlee and Tavia

McCoy. He was just as excited as the rest of us to be hanging out in Parowan all day.

This is Kylee and and my brothers little boy McCoy. He is just one month older than Kylee. Don't they look like they are on a roller coaster of some sort?

My brother Steve and his boy Tyler.

My brother Tony sayin' what up to his home boys at the Iron County Fair.

Christian and my brother-in-law Russell. Don't they look thrilled to be here?

My sister-in-law Shirley and my niece Megan.

THE BUMBO

So this is one of the greatest inventions EVER. This little chair called the bumbo (or port-a-potty as Christian calls it) is one of the best things we ever spent money on. Here are a few pictures of her first time sitting in it. Anyone with kids that can't sit up yet should purchase one of these. They are great.

GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!

GIVE ME A BREAK MOM!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

When Christian saw this picture he said all she needs now is the remote control. Doesn't she look so relaxed?
