That's My Yaya!

Alexandra loves babies. A couple of weeks ago we went to an auction for the young women in our ward. They were accepting donations to be auctioned off. Alexandra came up with the idea of offering to hold a baby for an hour. She is too young to officially babysit so this is the next best thing. She wouldn't be alone with the baby...but be there to help while the mother was busy at home. So the service was sold for 6 dollars and last week she went to our neighbors house to "hold the baby". She had so much fun! She will be a great babysitter one day!

Oldies But Goodies

Just for you Julie I posted pics of Scott and I. Starting in 1993 when we met in the good ol'MTC. Yes believe it or not we both served missions. It was here that Scott thought I was a snob and I thought he was really immature. LOL! That is really no joke! So it took not speaking for 2 1/2 years, 3 other boyfriends for me, 2 girlfriends for him and then Scott calling me one night out of the blue! Now we have been married for 13 years, 2 little girls and one damn dog! Ü April 1993 MTC

Yes that is Scott in the middle....

This pic was taken Oct 1995
Scott and I went on our first unofficial date

Orlando Temple Spring break 1996

Warning.....Debbie Downer Post.

It's a Debbie Downer day wahhh wahh.
Alexandra 2 cavities...at her 3 month check up. Whats that you say? 3 month check up? yes she was having shooting pains up into her ear as she would chew. Alexandra has 2-3 cavities with each check up. Madison has had 0 cavities in her life.

Came home to clean the house...found dog poop and pee on the CARPET, oh how I sooooo wanted a dog. NOT!

Scott has lost 4 pounds....ive gained 4 ounces. WTF?!

While I worked....

Scott and the girls hung out with Louie Sakoda and just kicked the football.

look close...can you see Alexandra?

Oh Scott....lets see whatcha got!

Yeah....leave it up to the professionals! look at that follow through! Go Louie!

Louie Sakoda and the girls.

This is the funniest conversation happened between Alexandra and I tonight during dinner. We went to a restaurant that we could see the tv as we ate. ESPN'S Sports Center was on and they were going through the top 10 nfl players of all time (i think...there was no sound) Anyways #7 is Marcus Allen woot! woot! (My all time favorite football player ever!!!!) I'm telling alexandra all about him. Then #6...is Jerry Rice ....Im telling alexandra all about him and Joe Montana...her next question is..."is that Rice related to the that Rice player on Utah"s football team?" "RJ Rice?" I clarified "The one you are always saying good catch to." say Alexandra. (RJ Rice caught an almost fumbled football in a kickoff return during the Sugar Bowl this year against Alabama.) "no honey RJ Rice is white and Jerry Rice is black. but Im sure he will take the compliment!" I said.

My little girl Madison loves to make up her own songs. Here is one I am listening to right now as she is playing dolls in the room next to me. "i will be your best friennnnnnnd. aaaaaaaah best friend..... its better its beetttttter!........There she goes ...there she goes again....there she goes again. A cottage....cottage.psshhhhht (like the sound of symbols) psssshhhhtt! ding! ding! ding! beep! beep! beep! hey kids its time to get up!

The washing machine is too loud for me to hear anymore. oh she is sooo cute! Time to get ready for school.

Kind of like the beach

Last night we went over to Daybreak and hung out on their "beach". They have soft sand and water...but its eerily quiet with no waves....just the sound of splashing. oh I miss the ocean! so I added the sounds of waves to my playlist. It almost sounds real....not! Come on Scott, smile....its OUR pose!!
