That's one Doodle that can't be un-did, Home Skillet

Wow, we're on #3! I'm so excited and nervous. I keep wondering "What am I doing-am I nuts?!" And then I think to myself, yes, I am nuts-that's just the way it is. I am really excited to have another cute little baby to snuggle and love, I love babies!

Eww!

Okay, this is not a good pic, but I had to post it anyway. We got to go to the doc today and here's what we saw! It's the blob on top and it was all wiggley and stuff (how cute!) Then they measured it from "crown to rump" I love that word-rump. My baby is 2.09 cm, and my due date is Jan. 29 or 30. Isn't that just the cutest little blob you've ever seen? If it's not, I don't want to know about it-just kidding, all moms think their blob is the cutest. Anyway, we're pregs and super pooper excited!

Okay, seriously, now you've got to check out our bowling trip below! It's too too cute!

King Pin

We went bowling for FHE last night and it was hilarious! First of all, look at Tink rocking those bowling shoes. I had no idea they made them that small (it's for the big little league-ers). I loved them, I tried to sneak them out, but the bowling alley loves them too much, I can't say I blame them. Kermit is a pretty good little bowler! His very first go, he got a strike, he could not quit jumping up and down. He was so excited, I have no idea why we have put bowling off this long, I think we should join a league.
I love this pic. You've got Tink and Dad mastering their form, and Kermit in the background jumping. I didn't even mean to do that, it just happened, he knew right when to jump. Tink was so funny, her ball always rolled about as fast as a herd of turtles, and she would just wait patiently for it to get to pins.
Here again, Kermit has come in for his landing, and Dad and Tink have let go of the ball, this is what I call "action-packed".
I had to get Tink's approach to the lane. It's hilarious. After Dad showed her how a couple of times, she decided she had it mastered. She kills me. She set off the foul light every time she threw the ball, she thought it was great.

So, I just have to recommend bowling, it makes for a good, hilarious FHE. By the way, it was my turn...

His first last day of school!

This is so stinking late! Congratulations Baby!
Here he is, my big boy! My E (whom I shall now refer to as Kermit-I am diggin' the nickname thing). This was his Kindergarten graduation, each child got to go to the front of the classroom and say who they are and what they want to be when they grow up. Kermit wants to be an astronaut, that picture is of him in his astronaut attire. I like what they've done with their uniforms...

My little first grader! Here're Kermit with his Kindergarten teacher, isn't she just the cutest thing ever? Like right out of a romantic comedy (aren't the girls always some kind of teacher in those movies?) Too cute, we love her and we're gonna miss her! Kermit and Ms. A. She's the coolest, she volunteered all year long-brave woman, and the kids all adored her. Luckily, she will move up to 1st grade with everyone, now we just have to try to be in her daughter's class again.
Kermit and G-man. These 2 are insane together, it's like throwing Mentos into Diet Coke (if you've never done that, oh-you gotta do it). We love these crazy boys, they just grow up too fast.
We had to go out and celebrate Kindergarted style! We went and got an ice cream at this cute little place, Kermit is now a big fan of Huckleberry ice cream (I think it's Aunt Marisa's influence-nice one M).

L (whom I shall now refer to as Tink) followed suit and ordered Huckleberry as well, they both loved it, it was pretty yummers I gotta admit. We had a great last day of school, sorry I'm so late posting it, I know you've all been on the edge of your seats. I now have a first grader, what the junk?

Happy Father's Day

It is almost 3am and I am up! I cannot sleep tonight. Cris and I watched "The Bucket List" tonight-wow, wrong movie to watch. It's uncanny how much Jack Nickolson looks like my dad going through chemo. It was really difficult to watch and to realize that's what he went through- except the going to Egypt and all over the world part.

I miss him. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be, not that I thought it would be easy, but this is just sooo hard.

I have to lead the Primary in some Father's Day songs later today- a lot later today, and I'm kind of nervous about just breaking down....stupid Bucket List.

I want my bros and sis to know how much I love you and I'm sorry you have to struggle with this today too. Happy Father's Day.

Tagged again!

#1 What was I doing 10 years ago? 10 years ago stunk for me, my mom was dying and everything in my life was changing. The nice thing was, I was engaged to Cris, he totally saved me through all that crap
#2 Things on my To-Do List today: Finish Girl's Camp journals, watch So you think you can Dance, vacuum, pick up an RX, play with L's hair.
#3 What would I do if I were suddenly a Billionaire: I would give some to my family members cuz I love 'em. I would take us all on a vacation. I would buy a home with a big yard and a pool and trampoline, so I could jump off the trampoline into the pool (now that's the sweet life). Then I would give the rest to Cris, he loves money.
#4 Bad Habits: I always bite my lips when they get a little chappy, and it hurts, so why do I do it? But I do. Peeling my sunburnt skin-ew. And I snack on everything all day.
#5 Places I have lived: Salt Lake City, Twin Falls ID, Boise ID
#6 Jobs I have had: Student counselor, florist, scrapbook person
#7 Things that people don't know about me: I love ghost stories and haunted stuff, I would love to stay in a haunted house, or hotel or something along those lines. Also, I think it would be fun to be a storm chaser (what a nerd!), but only if I didn't have kids and stuff. (Cris is "the stuff".)

Trip to Salt Lake

For my birthday, all I wanted was a trip to Salt Lake to see my family and friends for something other than a funeral. It was so good to see everyone, we got together for dinner at Arty's and it was fun, their backyard looks beautiful, you'll just have to trust me. And all the kids always have a great time at their house. It was just food and noise and fun. I had to get a few pics with my sis! Look at that gorgeous hair of hers, it just curls like that for her. Luckeeee.Grammy took London and I to lunch before the big family get-together, we went to this Indian restaurant and had this drink called a mango lassi, it was super yummy, thanks Grammy!This is Jellybean, she has to be one of the cutest little muffins on the planet, I love her and I love seeing her. I have adorable nieces, I only happened to get a pic of JB though, if you'd like to see my other darling nieces check out Arty's blog, they are too cute! The Boys! Ethan loves his uncles, they had a great time together, he told me that he was really glad to have them because they are goofy like Grandpa was.
Here are my children in a big attack Uncle Dee mode, L was laughing so hard she couldn't even breathe in.
These boys and their Cubs hats. Ethan is a new fan of the Chicago Cubs, but with the help of his uncles, he will soon be a die hard.

KUNG FU PANDA

SKADOOSH

C and E went to Kung Fu Panda on Saturday while us girls were at lunch. They loved it! So, when we went to MacDo's the next day and saw that they had those toys in the happy meals, we had to have them. The kids love those panda bears and the say "HIYA" and "skadoosh" and something else, you'd think I'd have it memorized I've heard it so many times.

L makes the greatest faces for the camera!

We made it to Robert's. I love this store, one day L will too-if she's any daughter of mine!

WAKE UP!

just kiddin' she's so stinking cute.

WE'LL MISS OUR GOOFY UNCLE NATE AND OUR CIVILIZED AUNT MARISA! We had dinner Sunday night with Aunt Sharon to say farewell to these two crazies before they headed out across the country. I'm really gonna miss them. I got some lovely pics of everyone, I really enjoy this one of the original Astin 3. They are so posed, it's like they were just meant to model or something...wow.

Then you have these 2. They were given some stickers, and had a great deal of fun with them, I think Aunt Sharon will be picking up stickers for the rest of her life throughout her spotless home.
See here, my little L has really warmed up to her uncle, it was really hard to let them go, not that I had any choice in the matter, but it was still hard. Okay, here we go, there's a good-lookin' bunch! How cute are these 3? You would never know that beneath the surface they are all nuts would you? But they are! Mark my words....nuts!
We had a good trip to SL, on Monday night I got together with a whole bunch of my old buddies, and wouldn't you know it, my camera went dead, and I don't have normal batteries in this thing, this is a professional big rechargeable battery deal and I only had one and it went dead. Needless to say, I have no pics of my BBQ with my friends. I will have to steal some from their blogs. It was so much fun to get together and watch our kids play together and just talk and catch up. I laughed more that night than I have in a long time, those people. It's true what they say about friends-"make new friends, keep the old, one is silver, the other gold." They are the greatest friends, I'm so glad I got to see them! I love you girls and your cute kids and hubbies!!!

Thanks Netter for putting all that together, I just love you!
