Spiked! and other September random-ness

Ok. September has been a month of total random-ness for us. Nothing big and exciting really happened. I have no real event to scrapbook about, so I am going to have a page of different stuff that happened this month...like going to McDonald's, and Jeremy being so independent that he put his own pants on...backwards...and refused to let me fix them. Seth built the kids' bunk bed this month.

About the only exciting thing that happened to me was when Seth, Josh, Rebecca (Josh's fiancée), and I went to Red Robin for dinner. They were doing a fundraiser for the Silverado Cross-Country team and 10% of our dinner went to them. Well, I tried a new peach lemonade and it tasted kinda weird, not bad but weird. I was wondering to myself where I had tasted that weird taste before. After downing one and a half drinks, I realized what the taste was...it was alcohol!!! So, the waitress fixed my drink, and before dinner was even over I threw up in the bathroom. I was a little buzzed all night. Seth thought it was funny. He was calling me his "Drunk Wife." HaHa...very funny. I told Seth it was kinda good that in high school I tried alcohol because I would have thought nothing of it and drank 4 or 5 drinks. Never thought I would be thankful for my mistakes.

Update

Ok everyone, sorry for not blogging in a while. I've just been lazy. (Get used to it...This'll probably happen a lot!) Anyways, I thought I'd give everyone an update on what we've been doing these last few months.


May - Well, May kinda stunk for me because my uncle and great-grandmother passed away this month. But, before YeYe (my great-grandma) passed on, I got a 5 generation picture!!! Is that awesome or what? I got this picture in the nick of time because YeYe passed the very next day. It was very sad.

June - June was super busy! Seth is the Senior Class Advisor this year, so the first week of June was Senior stuff...including him having to give a speech at graduationin front of thousands of people! I don't envy him there. Mary and Andy got married on June 20th. They are so cute together! They got married in the San Diego Temple. On the 22nd, Adam and Kassidy had a baby girl. Her name is Shayla. She is so beautiful! (Good looks run in the family, you know.) The last week of June, we went to Chuck-E-Cheese for Rebecca's birthday. The kids had so much fun!

Happy 4th Birthday Rebecca!


July - The month of July was kinda slow. We didn't do much. Rebecca started swimming lessons from her Grandma. Oh! Megan started crawling. I had to catch her though, she would not crawl if I was watching her. She's so silly!

Rebecca showing off her pretty bathing suit. She swims like a fish!

August - In August, we got a ton of house stuff finished. We painted and had carpet installed. It is so wonderful! We can actually live in our addition now...we still have to run extention cords because our electric is not done, but oh well. Megan started to pull herself up on things and stand. She's getting so big!


Megan standing by herself...well almost.


Ok, there you have it. There's the last 4 months in a nutshell. I'll try harder to not be so lazy in the future.

A New Tradition

This past Friday was Jeremy's second birthday. Seth and I started what we think will be a fun new tradition. We took Jeremy out on his day and went shopping with him. My mom babysat Rebecca and Megan while we were gone, so it was just Jeremy and his Mommy and Daddy. We first went to Toys R Us and let him loose. We didn't get a cart. Seth just let Jeremy walk where ever he wanted. We have never done that before. Jeremy was a little confused at first. He was probably like, "Huh?" Once he got the idea, he loved it. Jeremy wound up picking a new track for his Hot Wheels. After Toys R Us, we went to Best Buy and bought him a new movie. We got "The Emperor's New Groove." That is such a great movie! Finally, we went to Baskin Robbins. Some of Seth's students worked there, so that was fun. He had told them that if they made a perfect sphere scoop he would give them extra credit. One of his students was kinda upset because he said the last scoop he just made was perfect and Seth was two seconds late to see it. It was pretty funny. Anyway, I hope we can continue this tradition with all of the kids. Just on their actual birthday to spend a few hours just shopping or spending time with Mom and Dad.

How do you wear your glasses???

Here are some pictures of the kids in some funky sunglasses. My mom bought them for Rebecca's dressup stuff.

Megan wore them with innocence.

Jeremy wore them with extreme protest.

Rebecca wore them with pride...

...and drama!
