Dooohhhh....

I like a little sarcasm every once in a while so here ya go:

Things that make you go hmmmm....

1. People who point at their wrist while
asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is
yours?

2 People who are willing to get off
their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they
refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3 When people say 'Oh you just want to
have your cake and eat it too'. You got that right! What good is cake if
you can't eat it?

4 When people say 'it's always the last
place you look'. Of course it is . Why the heck would you keep looking
after you've found it? Do people do this?

5 When people say while watching a film
'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and
stare at the stupid floor.

6 People who ask 'Can I ask you a
question?'.... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'
Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it.
If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it,
couldn't be new.

8 When people say 'life is short'. What
the heck?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do
that's longer?

9 When you are waiting for the bus and
someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came, would I still be
standing here?

Charlie made the news!

Such an amazing story... Charlie is 4 days older than Abby so this really hits close to home for me.

Blog link is on the right hand side of my blog as well.

I have A.A.A.D.D.

I stole this from Jenny's Blog. It was just too dang funny and SO TRUE!!!!!!!

AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

Somehow I feel better even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table thatI brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study,

so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the countercatches my eye--they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,

I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:the car isn't washed

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter

the flowers don't have enough water,

there is still only 1 check in my check book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....Do me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who the hell I've sent it to.

Family Picts

Abby and K have a Bday coming up soon so we decided to update our family photos! I was able to find really cute outfits for the girls at Gymboree. They were similar but not totally matchy which was perfect.

Abby wore capris w/ a tee:































and K had on a skirt and tee






























Here are some of the picts I snagged from Heathers Blog:

























































She did a FANTASTIC job! You can see the rest HERE!

Abby's new tricks!

Abby is eleven months old now and she has added quite a few tricks to her list lately. It is so fun to see her grow and figure out how to stuff all on her own!

She can clap....



and play Sooooo big!



She is standing up on her own really well too so I think she'll be walking really soon!
























We are on our 5th antibiotic for ear infections with Abby too. She has basically been sick since January so hopefully this will be the med that kicks it or else we may have to do tubes. Poor girl!

Strollers, strollers, strollers....

This post does not really have any great significance, I just think it is funny and shows off a little of my OCD.

So let's talk about strollers...

Before K was born I figured one little umbrella stroller would suffice. I am not a flashy girl, all the stores I frequent have shopping carts, so I was set. So we got this little baby, the Chicco Lightweight Umbrella:
























Well, this one was great but the back does not lay flat all the way so it was hard to use with an infant. We got our infant carseat from Jeremy's aunt so we did not have the matching stroller at first. But my SIL, Lea, the master Garage Sale shopper came across it one day and got it for me! So then there were 2: (This is not the exact set but you get the idea...)


























But then what do we do when we want to go hiking, jogging/rollerblading, biking or SKIING?!?!? So we needed another more burley stroller. So the Cadillac came along, the Chariot Carriers Cougar 1: (And yes, we have most of the conversion kits thanks to our REI Dividend!!)










So we are set right?!?!? Three strollers, one for every occasion! Well, not when you have TWO kids! So we decided to expand and get the bigger Chariot. The Chariot Carriers Cougar 2: (Again, thanks to our REI Dividend)



















Well this is great but it wont fit in the trunk of my car! So what do I do when I want to go out with the girls or just "run to the mall"? So why not get ANOTHER stroller!!
























Now this one was suppose to be the answer to all of my prayers. Double stroller, has a neat steering wheel and noise maker in the front for K. The infant seat can fit in the back seat and it lays flat! But holy crap is this thing BIG and it does not turn at all! It fits in my trunk but barely and I about throw my back out every time I try and get it in there. So what do I do? Well, why not get ANOTHER stroller! The Joovy Caboose:























This time I at least waited and it was not a complete impulse buy. I knew I wanted a sit-n-stand type stroller and I began looking last summer but K was still a bit too young for it last year so I just kept an eye out. Then this weekend one was posted on KSL.com right down the street from me and it was a steal so I went for it! This way K can still have the freedom to run around but then can ride along too when she needs to and it is not much bigger than a single stroller. I made sure to try it out too before I took it home and we walked around the block with it and it handled great. K thought it was pretty cool!

But pretty absurd wouldnt you say! Jer was actually not too thrilled about this last purchase, which I guess I cant really blame him. He has put it with quite a bit. But I am getting rid of the Jeep one on Thursday along with a TON of other baby/maternity stuff at a Consignment Sale (photos to follow in a later post).

So thats it I guess. 6 strollers for 2 kids. Sounds about right!

Spring?

So I think Spring is on it's way? With UT you just never know. But we are really enjoying the weather when we can and the kids sure enjoys the park!

One day was a sunny day at the park and then we wake up to this the next day!



















Natures way of saying April Fools I guess!
