So today while this girl was taking her morning nap...

I planted these!

I've decide Ranunculus are my new favorite flower...aren't they beautiful??

Tulips are right up there too though...

Its days like today that remind me why I live here :)

Now we're off to the cold White Mountains to play in the snow!

See you soon sister!!

7 Random Things About Me *REVISED*

I was looking back at old posts and i happened upon this site. and it made me laugh how different things are since having a baby!

1. I have to wear an undershirt with everything. My G's don't count so i definately wear at least three shirts...everyday.

**ya right! breast feeding broke me of this one...its hard enough to work around G's and a T shirt

2. Every night before Morg and I fall asleep, (i'm talking laying in bed with the lights off) I have to know what time it is. I think its cuz I have this internal clock I have to set so i won't sleep in.

**i could care less what time it is...all that matters is that i'm in bed which means Emery is finally asleep and thats good enough for me!

3. I wipe down the sink and the counter around the sink after everytime i wash my hands. I'm talking i have a separate rag at home that i keep in a drawer in the bathroom that i use only to wipe down the sink. If i'm in a public restroom i use the paper towels.

**honestly, who does that?? i had way too much time on my hands...

4. I have to keep the shower curtain in my bathroom shut all the time.

**if the shower curtain is closed then i can't see if Emery is in there or not so its pretty much open and pulled up out of the way all the time...

5. Before Morg and i go out of town the house has to be spotless and all the laundry done. I hate coming home to a dirty house.

**i still try and do this...but sometimes its just impossible...

6. I love home decor. If someone gave me $5,000 (like on What Not To Wear) i'd totally blow it on random things for my house instead of clothes.

**i'll take the clothes...PLEASE PUT ME ON THAT SHOW!!

7. And lastly...hmm...whenever Morgan and i go anywhere in his truck i have to sit in the "girlfriend seat" (in the middle). That way he can put his hand on my leg:) YAY!

**Emery now sits in the "girlfriend seat" she likes to use her feet to help Morgan drive its pretty cute :)

see??

Love the iPod

Sometimes when nothing else works we whip out the iPod and let Em watch her little Pixar Short Films...like when she wakes up before we do in the morning we'll give it to her while we get 5 more minutes of sleep...or when she is done being in the car...or when Morgan wants to play XBox...

Her favorites include...

Boundin', For The Birds and Geri's Game...

I need to download longer ones though...sometimes 5 minutes just isn't long enough...

Anyone Interested??

So my stake offers an Institute class every Monday morning from 9-10:30 and I really want to go! The only problem is my babysitter (my mother in-law) goes to the class herself...so i was thinking...if any of you girls are interested in going to the class with me we could switch off watching kids in the nursery during class! I know its kind of a big commitment because its every Monday...but it could be a lot of fun so please let me know if anyone is interested!

Daxton

This little boy melts my heart

We LOVE him!

(we love that little girl too!)

I always knew my brother and sister in-law would make a beautiful baby but they went above and beyond with Daxton Boy

Dave and Jess,

Thanks for letting me hug and kiss those cheeks yesterday...I'll watch your kiddos anytime!

Target

As some of you know...i watch my niece Makenzie once a week for my brother and sister in law. Well today we decided (i decided) we needed to get out of the house. So we went and visited Grandma at work and on the way home i thought...

"man, i really need to run by Target...but with two babies? risky..."

but i went anyways. So i pulled out my new cute cart cover, (that is actually a double one and does me no good at Target because the carts are singles) squished those girls in and away we went!

And here they are...

they played footsie and looked kind of like conjoined twins but were surprisingly comfortable next to each other...

Kenz was so comfortable in fact...that she dozed off...

so i looked like a weirdo today, walking around target laughing my head off at these girls taking pictures all along the way...haha...still makes me laugh...

"Never Thought I'd Be On A Boat"

I'm pretty sure there are about a million pictures with this post so enjoy!

Day One: Getting There

We flew from Houston to Miami late Sunday and got there with no place to stay so we found a Hampton Inn that would come get us from the airport and then made the driver go through a McDonalds drive-thru (in was the only thing open) because we were all starving...

Day Two: And We're Off

We set sail from Miami Monday evening on our way to Key West!

We got to dress up every night for dinner which was a blast because I can't remember the last time I got ready more than a couple days in a row :)

(ps. isn't my husband handsome?)

Day Three: Key West

We all decided to rent scooters so we could see the most we could on this cute little island

It was worth EVERY penny!

front to back: Dallin & Lissa, Matt & Court, Rex & Jake, Morgan & Me

just one of the MANY adorable houses and hurricane shutters

My brother Matt and Me

(apparently we have family in Florida)

Below is the

Key West Lighthouse

This is the ginormous lens they use inside the lighthouse

...climbing up the 88 steps (morgan counted) to the top of the lighthouse

...the view from the top of the lighthouse

...the very cool tree right next to the lighthouse

For lunch we ate here...

(catchy name huh?)

it was delicious

thanks to jake we will forever be remembered in Key West at

B.O.'s Fish Wagon

After lunch we set off again on our scooters and made the loop around the whole island...we stopped to take some pictures

Rex volunteered to feel the water...it was warm :)

but the air was cold

Then we were off again

We found the beach and holy cow it was beautiful

"The Brothers Pew"

Then we visited the Southernmost Point in the continental U.S.

Cuba is 90 miles behind us

On our way back to the boat we saw this huge kind of funny but still sweet statue so we took a picture with it

Back on the boat we got ready for dinner again and I wish I would have taken a picture of my shoes....they were adorable (thanks Kayls) but we were in a hurry

Day Four: At Sea

The cruise did a pretty good job keeping us busy on our long day at sea...there were lots of games and different activities but I think the boys favorite was corn hole :)

"The Solar Men"

Day Five: The Caymans

We took a little boat from our big boat to the island

We first went to Seven Mile Beach

then Hell

Then a place called Smithcove. This place was my favorite. There were hardly any people there so it was really quiet and the water was clear and warm...pretty much heaven

Day Six: At Sea Again

umm...we didn't take any pictures this day because we slept aaaaalllll day.....it was wonderful

Day Seven: Coming Home!!

We woke up to a rainy and very cold Miami on Saturday so they kicked us off the boat and we sat in the airport for like 6 hours...it was sort of fun though :)

We had such a good time and are soooo grateful to all the people who made it possible...Solar Electrics Systems for sponsoring it, Dave and Jess for watching Pepper and especially to Grandma Pew, G-pa, Meewee and Keewee for taking such good care of our sweet Emery (who we were extremely happy to see after 7 days apart)...We love you all so so much!
