Silent but Deadly

Perfect slogan for this girl. We were hanging out, a lot of noise and kids everywhere and then I heard water running, and noticed we were missing Sydney.

She would not look at me. Stinker.

She just went in the other room a second ago and I followed, maybe 15 seconds later, and she was on the kitchen table, emptying out the salt. Did I mention that my table is one of those tall ones? One of these days, I might be posting about emergency room visits.

Hello BUSY!

Okay so it seems like the last little while has been full of visitors! In February (can it be that long ago?), Lisa came to visit from Missouri, and we had a great time hanging out. I am a freak and I guess I did not take any pics, cause I can not find them anywhere!
Then Trajan and Lauren came to visit. Then Shelly came in from Washington, and we hung out with Nicole as well. Then I saw Carrie, and she lives here, but I have not seen her in ages. Then Kelli and I finally celebrated her birthday and went to Kneaders for breakfast-- all you can eat (which turns out to be very little, since it is so filling) French Toast (MY VERY FAVORITE!). I see Kelli more than anyone else, but maybe once every three or so months, and that is when we are being good. SO I was so happy to see all these people and to catch up. One of these days (I know, I keep saying this), when my scanner magically starts working again (ha haha ha), I am going to scan in pics of past memories with all these people. I am sure I will just embarrass myself, but oh well. What do you do? We also babysat my cousin Harley (yes, cousin and he is 3!) and Seth and Nicole came by to hang out as well.

Shelly's cute baby Lucy. I gave her that cute little headband :)
CUTE smiles! I love that age (6 months).
Umm... Syd did not want to take this picture...

When Shelly arrived, Sydney was so interested in the baby!Shelly and Lucy
Syd with Shelly's purse-- it was heavy for her, but she wanted to carry it around!
Carter and Sydney playing, sort of.
Jake loves Nicole! I guess I should have been in the picture. Oh well. I am getting lazy in my photographing these days.

Seth, Nicole, and Carter came over to watch the second Sunday session of General Conference with us. We have a tradition to make crepes on the Sundays we watch conference, so it was fun to have them over for that. I am missing Nicole; the only photo I have of her I am sure she would not love if I put on here, so I won't :).Syd wants more food.

Okay, so I decided to put in the best pic of Kelli (well, they all look good, this is just the best). I, on the other hand, need to take a course in posing for photos-- I could just sit and pick apart how hideous I think I look in this photo, but I will spare you. I did not look that bad in the mirror, before I left my house, though, I assure you :). I love Kneaders, they are so great! I could seriously eat the whole store (but I would be like 800 lbs and broke if I did). I guess it is a good thing that they are not closer.

Random photo of the poochie (who thinks he is getting to go somewhere, so he is excited). I just love him (especially when he is "naked" -- what we call him w/o his harness)!

SO EXCITED!!!

I am excited for this movie to come out. So here is a link to a Twilight sneak peek.

I really think this will be a move that both men and women will enjoy-- there is a lot of action (you know, vampire fighting, blood, etc).
And according to the Twilight website, the 4th book in the series-- Breaking Dawn -- will be released in 110 days. I hope that I like it (my expectations are kind of high). I personally think that JJ Abrahms could (and should) make this a TV show and it would be so great to get to know the characters, like he has done with Lost.

T-Ball

This year, I decided to sign Ethan up for T-ball. They have to be 3 here, and I just thought it would be a fun way to get him involved in something and get us out of the house (and somewhere he would want to be; not Hobby Lobby!)
Here are the pics of the first practice. So many people signed up (500 kids between 3-7) that he will be playing twice a week, just to play each team once.

Oh-- here comes the ball... he is supposed to be holding his hands like an alligator's jaws...

Uh-oh... there goes the ball...
Umm... not so hard and low, thanks!
This poor coach!
The kids, rounding the bases with the coach-- it was just funny to see the "herd" chasing him!

HELP

Okay so I am supposed to be going to a funeral today at 12 in Sandy, except I am stuck, yet again, with finding someone to watch my kids. I think this is the think I hate about parenting most. BABYSITTING. GRRR. Calling around, no one returning phone calls, etc. My normal sitters, well, most, will be in attendance.
UPDATE: My crisis has been averted. :)

ADD

Okay so I am having severe blog ADD. I really do not like to look at my blog! I mean- I could find a cute template on Pyzam, but I would have to redo ALL my links on the side. Wow, I do not have it in me to do that! So here were are, a temporary fix, but I have to say, it is too BLAH to last long. I wish I could use my own fonts, I have lots of GREAT ones, and I wish that I could choose the colors. At least that would make the blah a little better!

Since this blog is at risk of boring us all to death, I will post some photos. Kind of random ones...Syd being cute. (I am so boring, I know)

Pics of the Shoshone Falls (?I think?) in Twin Falls, ID. We went there a while back, you know, when I started this whole CRAZY Twilight business).

Sorry about two pics of the same thing- I do not feel like analyzing and figuring out which is better!

The Bridge to get into town-- AMAZING. I have not been to Idaho much, but I really can appreciate the beauty each place holds. It was a fun weekend!

This was taken this past Tuesday, the 1st of April. These cute kids are Savannah and Madeline (and my kids). Our friends, Trajan and Lauren came into town from Connecticut and came to visit us! We had such a great visit, we just love them. Lauren would not allow me to take a pic of the family (she is pregnant and self conscious, though she has NO reason to be!), so we just get the kids!

Monster Under the Table

The only way we could keep Ethan in his seat and not under the table, was to tell him there was a monster under there that only mommy could see (not even daddy). It kind of worked, but better than anything else. This is at The Old Spaghetti Factory, Trolley Square (February 29, 2008). When Jody does some radio shows, they give him free meals there, which I LOVE LOVE LOVE! Honestly, I have been craving a good Italian restaurant the last few days. I need to exercise heavily for the week before to prepare my body for what will be coming...

Okay so these are his facial expressions...

That girl is so uncooperative when it comes to photographs!
Us, annoying people, I am sure!
