Simple Joys

I wish you were all here to witness just how proud Ava was of herself for putting her pants on all by herself.


But she did need my help with buttoning them. Especially since the buttons and zipper were in the back.

I'm in Love...

...with a robot. It's true! His name is Scooby. And we've only known each other for a week, but what a wonderful week it has been. I think Josh is quite smitten with him too. He vacuums, mops, and dries our kitchen floor all by himself. He doesn't even complain, well, unless he gets stuck somewhere. Then he lets out a beautiful little beep to let us know that he needs help. Here is a picture of Ava with our newest family member. He probably weighs more than she does :)


I decided to get the Scooba for Christmas this year. Since my husband is a kind hearted man, he let me open it a few weeks early. Knowing it would keep his ever growing pregnant wife happy. Thanks honey!

Sorry Santa

I think the picture pretty much speaks for itself.

Forgotten Photos

So I was downloading the pictures we took at our ward Christmas party and realized that I hadn't extracted our Thanksgiving photos from our little point and shoot. Some of the pics were just too cute to not post.

Ava discovered that is was just as fun to push the stroller as it was to get pushed in the stroller. Too bad Ava didn't have any of her older cousins around because the adults in the house can only handle pushing a stroller on your knees for so long.


Josh has been working nonstop and was beyond stoaked about Thanksgiving break...aka the week of Xbox. But sadly right before we left Mr. Xbox died. The only option was to mail it into Microsoft, pay a ludicris amount of money, and wait a few weeks for it to be fixed. Since that was absolutely out of the question, Josh ordered a little fix-it kit online and while we were up in WA decided to preform surgery...on the box.

After a lot of perspiration and prayers, Mr. Xbox pulled through for a full recovery. And just in time for Krysten and Jared's arrival. It was a Thanksgiving miracle!

Storytime with Grandpa.

Uncle Jared and his favorite niece! (I can honestly say that since it's his only niece)

Gobble Gobble

The holiday season is my favorite time of year. I love the family, food, and Josh hanging out all day! We're finally getting our lives back in order after our week long vacation up at my parent's house. So I have finally found the time to upload some pics of our family fun. Enjoy all the pics!

Boy or Girl?

Am I suppose to laugh?

So my mom and I decided to join the throngs of teenage girls (and lets be honest, and a few boys) and see the Twilight movie. Disappointed? To be honest, I was quite entertained. It probably helped that I went in with such low expectations that it had no where to go but up. But for those who have seen the movie, didn't you think the special effects were....what's the word I'm looking for....silly? Over the top? I've got it, a total joke! So I wasn't entertained because the movie was good, but soley because I couldn't contain my laughter every time one of the vampire jumped, ran or showed off their skin in the sunlight. Did anyone else totally hate the meadow scene just as much as I did?! It was nothing like what I had imagined. All in all, I'm glad I saw it. But I plan on never watching it again. I am trying desperately to get the image of the movie Edward out of my head because I am rereading Twilight. There is no way the movie could ever compare with the book.

Oops

• Have husband come home 3 hours early to watch our little busy bee
• Wear dress, high heels and bring temple recommend
• Meet at church at 4:30 pm to go on Youth temple trip
• Make sure every youth is accounted for and has a ride to the temple
  
• Carpool with youth to temple
• Make sure all youth have had their temple recommend interview
• Make sure you have an up to date temple recommend

Oops...I kinda forgot to do that last bullet. In my defense it expired just last month! But seriously, we just had a lesson in YW's about being dependable and prepared. So yeah, it was a little embarrassing. Luckily we had enough women that I wasn't needed. Good thing we only live a half hour away from the temple, because my sweet husband kindly came and picked my expired temple butt up and took me home. So sad!
