I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!

I donated my phone to the D.I. yesterday and I am going crazy without it!! Let me be VERY clear on one thing and that is that I did not donate my phone on purpose! I had a stack of clothes that I had decided to get rid of and was putting them in a box to take to the D.I. and I am 90% sure my phone somehow ended up in the box. The last time I saw my phone was right before I loaded up the box and now I can't find it anywhere. I did the whole "call the phone with another persons phone" trick for about 30 minutes last night and searched the whole house, my car, my purse, and the entire front yard. I am not sure what the D.I.'s policy on returning donated items is....but I hope in this case they are ok with it. So basically I am totally bored and going nuts without my phone!! I really feel like I have cell phone separation anxiety!! I wonder if there is a pill I can take for that!!! So anyway if you feel like talking to me it looks like the computer is my only way to communicate at this point so if you are feeling generous you could log onto msn messenger and chat it up with me. Well everyone have a fabulous week and don't take your cell phones for granted!!

The Big Game

This post depicts the many ups and downs of the BYU ~ UTAH game I hope you enjoy our interpretation of the way it all went down.

Before the game...

And the game begins...

The picture is blurry, but I am sure you get the idea! I hope this post was as fun for you as it was for me...you may have won this year UTAH....but there is always next year!!!!

This is us watching the game...Brandon thought it was funny!

And when all is said and done we are still friends...wierd huh!?!

Weight Loss Challenge is back!

So I tried to make a weight loss blog and it never really worked out...well my friend Tiffany is doing one...and taking it seriously...so if you want to join let me know. She is posting before pictures with how much weight you want to loose so she needs a pic asap...the first weigh in is tomorrow (saturday). Lets get skinny!!

P.S. GO COUGARS!!!!!

One big happy family!!

Well as promised here are the 5 things that kept me at home and away from the computer last week... Tracie...
... Carson...

...Emma...

...Katelynn...

...and Valerie!

We had our neighbors kids from Wednesday morning until Sunday afternoon with a break on Saturday for the football game. It was a crazy week!!

One day Brandon put in an old exercise video and told the kids to do what the lady on TV did...they actually did it for a while it was so cute!

They brought their Nintendo Wii and we all had fun playing it a bunch...Valerie had fun watching everyone play, in this picture she was sitting there cheering them on!

Emma didn't ever want to go lay down for a nap so I would put in a movie for her and she would fall asleep...even with all the noise...SO cute!!

Dinner time was always an adventure...I was not quite sure how to cook for so many people...luckily they were willing to eat leftovers when I made too much of something.

This is one of the few times these two actually played together...I don't think Katelynn was a big fan of Valerie because Val would try to steal her toys so she pretty much avoided her.

Don't these two almost look like they could be sisters!?!

A few things I learned about me this week:

• I only want 2 kids (as opposed to the 4 I thought I wanted).
• I never want 2 in diapers at once (between 2 kids and 1 dog that is a lot of poop!).
• I can be (according to Tracie) "as mean as their mom."
• When I have a couple kids I am going to have 1 room in my house that can as messy as the kids want it to be...but the toys and mess HAVE to stay in that one room.
• I need to have all my "Me" time while I only have 1 kid cause once there is a few of them you never get to be alone.
• When you are in a huge hurry to take a shower it's easy to forget to shave your arm pits!

Well that's about it...Thanks for the training lesson Jenny! I hope you guys had a great vacation! Happy 10th Anniversary!

We took Oscar for his first professional haircut ever

This is Oscar before...

...I think this is Oscar after...I don't know if they gave us the right dog or not...

Today at the BYU game I got to sit by Angie Larsen from Good Things Utah. My sister Janae is friends with her and brought her as her date. This was the first time I met her and I will have to admit I was a little star struck. I watch Good Things Utah almost everyday and all the girls on there are so dang cute! I was trying not to act weird and talk to her a ton, (even though that is all I wanted to do) but then I didn't want her to feel like I was being rude and not talking to her at all...so hopefully I was able to find a happy medium and didn't make a huge fool out of myself. Anyway in case you were wondering...yes she is even more gorgeous and skinny and perfect in real life!

P.S. Sorry about the lack of posting lately, on Monday I am going to post all about the 5 things that kept me stuck at home and away from my computer!
