4 MONTHS! WOW!

Berkley was 4 months old on the 19th of May. She is getting so big!! We love her wonderful personality. She is so good about letting other people hold her, and she is smiling all the time. She has just started grabbing her feet, which is SO CUTE! At her doctors visit she weighed 13 lbs. 11 oz. And was 25 inches long. She is so healthy, which is just wonderful. We went outside today for a little photo shoot and got some cute pics. The ones in the collage are 4 of about 40 or so. We are enjoying every second with her. She is just the best!

2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary! I can't even believe it. We were discussing this morning how in some ways it seems longer and in other ways it doesn't. I love Matt more everyday, which seems impossible when I'm in the present, but it happens somehow. Actually I do know how. Everyday he makes me smile and laugh. Everyday he tells me how much he loves me. Everyday he shows me what a wonderful dad he is, and almost every night we just lay in bed and talk about life. I have been blessed a million times over since Matt came into my life. First as a good friend and then as my best friend, and then as my husband. And to top it off, Matt got me diamond earrings for our anniversary!!! I was totally blown away! And man are they gorgeous!!

PHOTOBOOK

I'm making a Tribute Photobook for my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary and I have been asking for old photos from my relatives. Here are some that I thought I would share.

Tia Juanis, some guy, my hot mom, and Tia Mely at Tia Coco's wedding.

Tia Mely, me and my brother Paul. How cute are we?!

Most of my mom's family. I'm on someone's shoulders.

My sexy Grandma and two of her kiddos. Pretty sure my Tia Mely and Tio Checo.

Just chillin topless with my Pops.

THEY SCARE ME

We have all seen them on cable TV commercials (which I have been watching all weekend while house sitting for my parents), we've all laughed at them, and I am sure we have all thought what I am about to say, which possibly puts this post at risk for being un-original. I think the makers and customers who purchase "Snuggies" must be members of a cult. The commercial (which can be seen HERE) is creepy. Sure they seem very happy, perhaps do to special Kool-Aid, but I also get the feeling they worship Satan. Now the part where they are all having fun as a family slapping hands at a sporting event shows these people are probably some of the more fun worshipers of Satan and that they know how to have a good time, but I still don't want anything to do with them. Now perhaps saying they worship Satan is a bit much. But comparing these two pictures proves that they do work as a guard for the Dark Sith Lord known as The Emperor on Star Wars.
But in reality folks, whether they worship Lucifer or The Emperor, they really are just wearing backwards bath robes. What a rad product.

BERKLY IS 3 MONTHS OLD!!

These are the wonderful, awesome and cute things Berkley is doing: sitting up in her BUMBO. Having conversations with Daddy. Sleeping with her doll. Flipping people off. Going on walks. Laughing. Crying. Enjoying naked time. She never ceases to amaze us and make us smile. She is sleeping between 7 and 9 hours each nite, which is AMAZING! We just love her that much more. Soon she will just be hanging out in her swim suit. I can't wait!

EASTER!

What a great Easter day! (Except for the major headache and upset stomach) We had a lot of fun being with family and dressing up Berkley. She had her cute Easter dress that Grandpa Luther and Grandma Patty bought for her. She just looked adorable! We took about a hundred pictures of course.

After church we went up to Eric and Dianne's and got our Easter baskets. Annie and I got the best present! Dianne bought us all tickets to the Keith Urban concert in September!!! I'm so stoked!

Next we drove on over to Sam and Mel's and had dinner and watched the little kids hunt Easter eggs. We even read some scriptures about the Savior and had a nice time talking about the true meaning of Easter. I know, Easter isn't really about bunnies and eggs....who knew :) I hope everyone was able to spend their Easter having fun and reflecting on what we are really celebrating today...the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

VOLLEYBALL

I've started playing volleyball twice a week. Some women from around the area get together at my church Wednesday and Friday mornings and play for 2 hours. Probably the best thing since playing softball. I always have a blast. One of the great things about it, is most of the women have to bring their kids that are not school age, so there is always a lot of,"Mommy! Get down!" meaning I want to get off the stage and I'm too little to do it myself. And there is,"Mommy! I go potty!" Which usually means that they haven't gone yet but they are about to.

So today I get there and we start warming up and playing our first game and I see one of the mom's leaving the court to go get her son. And I see her wrapping him in a big gray sweatshirt. That doesn't stay on long and I realize he is butt naked from the waist down. He had a bit of an accident and no other clothes to put him in. Well this particular little boy, who is super cute by the way, loves Berkley. So him and his half naked self decided to keep her company for a little bit while I played. Later on I looked in the play room (just an extention of the gym blocked off by an "on it's side" table) and I see tons of kids playing, and then I see this little boy. Playing like he had all his clothes on, but he didn't. Just a t-shirt and I bet you can imagine what he looked like.

So needless to say, it's never boring at volleyball.

One Subject: Furry Creatures. Two Topics: WTWTA and Tauntauns

Topic One: Where the Wild Things Are

I loved this book as a kid and I am sure you do too. If not, then you now have the answer to the question you've been asking yourself, "Why was my childhood so screwed up?". It will be out soon in theatres and I am very excited for it, but worried. Spike Jonze has put his unique style into making this film and I want to think that it will be amazing. The trailer looks amazing (check it out for yourself by clicking on this link: WTWTA TRAILER). The music in the trailer is amazing. But what if the movie is not amazing? What if he takes something so great and ruins it, like the person who took TV and ruined it from the hours of 10am-4pm. Let us all keep our fingers crossed that it will be instant classic just as the book is.



Topic Two: Tauntaun Sleeping Bag
Now this is one thing I am not skeptical about. Who ever decided to make one of these has my full support in any product they market. I was a huge Star Wars fan as a child, and yes I still like them now (Not episode #1 and #2 though, that little Anikan was a entitled douche bag baby). This Tauntaun Sleeping bag is right off the planet out Hoth from the film "The Empire Strikes Back." If that doesn't ring your memory enough, this was the creature Han Solo sliced open with a light sabre and put Luke Skywalker in to save his life from the sub zero temperatures (look at the inner lining of the sleeping bag, its the Tauntauns intestines!). As of right now I think Berkley is too small to sleep in one of these, and unfortunately after reading the measurements I am too tall. But for anyone between Berkley's size and mine, I suggest snagging one of these when they actually go on sale (as of right now its just an idea, and George Lucas needs to give it the OK since his company didn't think of it). So keep your fingers crossed kiddies because this one be one Bad A Christmas gift.

Addicted to Crafts

Here is my cute magnet board. It is tin and under the paper is a picture of Santa. At Young Women's, we made these. We picked our paper and glued it on. I took it up to Dianne's, who by the way has so many cool craft/scrapbook stuff, and finished it. Glued on the flowers, the FAMILY, and the D. It's going to go in our living room by the door so we can put notes and whatever else we want on it.
This was my next project. I found a cute box at Walmart and brought it back to Dianne's and WALA! I made a cute box for Berkley. Right now it is just holding all her hair things, but when she is older I like to think she will put toys and special things in it. I just used scrapbook paper for the outside and in the inside I decorated it with stickers.

They All Cause Cancer!

I often have weird thoughts or ideas that cross my mind while driving to school or sitting in school, or when ever else I am bored. Normally I discard them, but now, now I have a Blog! So here is my genius thought that came to mind this morning.

The sun that we all apparently rotate around is a yellow dwarf, you know, a star in scientific astrology-nerd terms. Turns out it causes cancer. But I am not here to talk about this yellow dwarf or any of snow whites friends. I am here to say, without any scientific evidence to back it up (I looked online...nothing there), that all the stars that shine down on us at night are killing us too! That's right folks, we all go out at night and have fun partying, jogging, and laying on the grass looking up at hundreds of faraway suns, all working together, very slowly, to give us cancer!

So in these tough economic times, I'm looking for some extra dough, and I have come up with the best idea ever! STARSCREEN! (not to be mixed up with Star Scream of Transformers). Put it on at night when you go jogging or star gazing (which is like staring at the sun! Dangerous!).It will keep you safe from the hundreds of cancer causing bright lights in the sky! For a cheap price I will sell it to you, your friends, and your family. As a good American you should tell them about this, to keep them safe.

So please purchase this once in a lifetime product, by sending me an email or leaving me a comment to get in contact with you about buying this SPF 1 (any SPF level higher would be ridiculous) star safety lotion.


Now in 2 classy scents: Midnight Musk and Lady of the Night.
