Here we are

Hayleys cheezy face

Hayley has many silly smiles...but the one I love the most is this one.

Our House!

I have decided that building a house is like being 9 months pregnant for however long it takes the sucker to be built! We are SO excited. I will be showing pictures of our baby's progress.

The One Shoe Wonder

I am sorry but I just could not resist.

Meet the latest member of our family!

So if you are looking for a pet that is cool and just likes to hang out than Stub is perfect for your family. He doesnt kick or scream. He goes where we like to go. He doesnt mind the cold or rain either . He makes people laugh but makes some small children cry..that is my only complaint. But he is a real kick in the pants. Isnt Halloween great?

Hayley and her pumpkin

Hayley's preschool class just went to a pumpkin patch and were able to pick out their very own pumpkin. Insteadof looking for your classic perfectly round pumpkin, she chose the one with a huge dent in the side that sits crooked and is probably overlooked by all of the other children. She loves to hold it and wash it and it sits on our couch. I am thinking we probably should not cut it open and rip out all of its guts. I have never met a more loved pumpkin.

MY VERY OWN EDWARD

So, for those of you who know what i am talking about, you are officially in the cool kids club. For those of you who dont, there could be hope. Okay, so I did become a little obsessed with the Twilight series and i did have a crush on a fictional character who happened to be a vampire. So when Matt gets a little lonely he promptly puts in his vampire teeth that he got from Chuck E Cheese and hopes for some action. Now all he needs is to run like lightening and immortality.

CONFESSION

This may shock some of you but I was voted best dancer in 8th grade, even with no professional training whatsoever...kinda like Willim Hung. This might have been because of my older sister Catherine who was a cheerleader and hip-hop lover. Her skills might have just naturally rubbed off onto me. Even though I may be giving her credit, I must accuse her of producing one of the most painful childhood videos of me. It went down like this. It was a beautiful California afternoon and I am minding my own business. You know, just choreographing my own moves to Duran Duran's "Wild Boys" song on our trampoline. Trying my hardest to pull off Olivia Newton Johns "Grease" dance moves. But instead of tight Black leather pants, I am wearing tight pink sweats with a pink leotard and bunched socks. Give me a break, I was only 8. Anyways, Catherine was video taping me and I must of been proud because i just kept dancing. That video by the way is locked up for good. So I continued to dance. I would sneak in to Mormon youth dances when I was 13. The legal age was 14, but I made it in. And then I attended the infamous Huntington Beach young adult dances throughout highschool and could never get enough. Then in college My girlfriends and i would have dance parties. But now..its a little weird. Ever since I became a mom, my groove has gone down hill. So I just find myself totally rockin out in my car (at night of course) to anything from Gwen to Shakira to ..yes..Duran Duran. And i have found that dancing from the wiast up is just as satisfying. So if you know anyone who is getting married and having a reception with a DJ, give me call.

LEAH

I really wished that i would have noticed that string of snot BEFORE the photo shoot.

HAYLEY AND HER NEW BICYCLE HELMET..INSEPERABLE

AT THE PARK..AND EXHAUSTED

Everyone give a shout out to the King Henry/Pillar House Posse! These are my GIRLS! So these are my roomates from about 10 years ago. They are the funniest and best people ever. We got together because Amie (in the middle) just got married and we all got together to celebrate! It was so, so , so much fun. By the way, if you are reading this and know of any top-notch QUALITY single guys, the 2 in the back on the left are still single and have to go through a series of interviews by me, my mom (the legendary Judy) and a certain South Salt Lake City cop if they want a date.

Parenting Tactics

Sometimes Leah just does not want to get dressed! So we have a few tricks up our sleeves to coax her..like..putting her clothes on to make her jealous. So again, if there is any advice you would like to give us, we are totally open minded. Keep in mind, Leah is very 2!
