"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

spaghetti face and more...
Here are just some random pictures from last week. I got her hair up in a little pony tail. It looked so cute!! I also took pictures of her spaghetti face, she was enjoying her dinner way too much! The other picture is of Carly and Kennedy watching a movie on the computer. She only lasted a couple minutes before she was ready to get off the chair. She is starting to show some interest in Sesame Street. She loves it when Elmo's World comes on because she loves the fish that is in the fishbowl. She is sure getting to be a big girl!Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Camping in Huntsville

This past friday night we went on a long overdue camping trip. The weather was perfect, we could't ask for anything better. Thanks to my mom we had anice blow-up mattress to sleep on and once again Carly did great! She was so fascinated with the fire it was hard to keep her away from it. Chad's parents and April also came up late friday night. I'm glad they did, it was nice to have the company. I prepared tin foil dinners earlier that day and to my surprise that actually turned out yummy. All in all, we had a great time!

April's B-day
We went to eat at mexican restaurant on April's b-day. It was yummy, like all mexican food is! When they came to sing to her they put a huge sombrero on her head and whip cream on her nose. (it must be a mexican tradition to do that, they did that on my b-day at a different mexican restaurant) As you can tell from the picture, she was thrilled!Thursday, September 6, 2007
Rock-a-bye
Well, I have something to post other than pointless stuff. I finally got Carly to say Rock-a-bye on the video. It is so cute! I had no idea what she was saying for a while until one day we were in her room and she walked over to her rocking chair and said rock-a-bye. I usually sing her (try to sing) her a song before I lay her down and it has the words rock-a-bye in it so I'm guessing that is where she picked it up from.

not really important....
This is very pointless but so cute! I was browsing on the internet getting ideas for Halloween (I know it's still not even close yet) I found so many cute ones!! I love the Carebear one, Carly could be her birthday cake for halloween!

Ode to Skiddo...
I'm sad to announce that I think our beloved Skiddo has gone on to a better place. I figure after two weeks of not showing her face around here she has either died or adopted a new family. I'm hoping it's the latter one. I never thought I would be sad to see her gone after all that she put me through...meowing through all hours of the night, clawing at our furniture, peeing on EVERYTHING, clawing up the carpet just because we shut her out of the bedroom, neglecting her kitten when it was first born although she could have been suffering from post-partum :) hissing at her kitten and her sister because they smelled different, attacking skipper, getting pregant in the first place...the list could go on and on. I have to admit that every once in a while she was a good cat and we did raise her from a kitten and brought her all the way from utah to Texas (which I don't recommend!) Anyway...I just thought I'd say a few words for our messed up little cat. At least her legacy will live on through her kitten.

Out of Curiosity...
This is for anyone. If you could go anywhere in the world for a vacation where would it be and why??

New Braunfels, Texas
I went to Braunfels with Alycia and her kids and April on Wednesday and just got home today. It was fun, I love going there! It is near San Antonio and the land is so beautiful there! It is so wide open and there are tons of rolling green hills! It is great! Anyway...Alycia found a cute little farm house for us to stay in. It was built in 1925 (or somewhere around there!) It was so cute and it was so quiet and peaceful. Chad met us up there Friday morning because he felt like he had to work or something :)
These are pictures of the drive-through zoo. I've never been to one and it was actually kind of creepy how close the animals get to you. The zebra was really neat to see. Carly liked it at first but the closer the animals got the more freaked out she got. It was actually quite funny to watch her. She called everything a dog.
These were pictures I took in the house we stayed ( I'm mad I didn't get a picture of the actual house) The hat Carly is wearing is one that April made for her.
This was wednesday night at the New Braunfels Smokehouse. (they have the best turkey jerky, if you are ever craving good jerky I recommend ordering it from them!) Carly was being silly. She was so funny with Adam. Everytime Adam would get close to her she would hug him. He got really tired of it towards the end of the trip, I think. It was a fun trip but it's nice to be home again!

Pictures!
Well, there aren't many pictures I can take that weren't on that website but here is a few. I love the stair case, there is two ways you can go up which is great. The downstairs is kind of a donut shape which is so great, I love it! So far we have replaced some light fixtures and knobs in the kitchen. I have removed wallpaper from the upstairs guest bathroom and have primed it, now I just need to paint it. it is slow going but it is fun to fix things up!Tuesday, August 7, 2007
I'm back!
I can't believe how disconeccted I felt without the internet for a week! It's kind of sad! Oh well. Well, we are now all moved into our new home and I love it! Now my problem is trying to figure out where I want to put everything. Carly took a couple days to get used to it. I can now leave her sight without her freaking out, which is nice. She loves playing on the stairs of course. All of the downstairs is the laminate wood flooring and it's pretty funny to watch Skipper chase a ball, he can't stop very well so he just slides to a stop. I will get pictures on here soon. I just feel like I have so much to do and so little time to do it in.
