Wedding video

Woo hooo! :) Let me know what you think?

Update on Hunter: he is now 30 in. long and 21 lbs....lost a lil because he is sooo active now and walking! Thats right- he is walking..not all the time but definitely more than he was a few days ago....CRAZINESS!!!!! He is teething with his canines now as well....oh joy for the sleepless nights (again). Got a few pictures before the camera died (again...lame rechargeable batteries). So those will be in the next post, folks!

Gaaaahhh!!!

I was talking to my mom yesterday (Hi Mom!) and we were talking about the joys of spring...beautiful weather, great days, love it, love it!


Well, tonight while I was on facebook, finding long lost roomies and such....I was reminded of one of the downfalls to spring (and summer even more so in Vegas)...
Creepy crawlers that invade my habitat!!!!
That's right folks...it has begun...time to replace all the roach traps and spray the outside of our condo to put up that invisible shield that tells all bugs: "Enter at Own Risk-Owner Reserves Right to Kill on Sight!" (And I'll do it too....or at least shriek and have Jeremy do it!)

Anyway, I was sooooooo heroic tonight! I killed (Jeremy should be proud-I dont deal well with things that crunch.....or spiders) a spider on my wall and a june bug thing on my floor!!! In the course of 2 minutes....and I didnt even wake up Hunter! POINTS for me!!!

Some of you may ask where my knight in shining armor was instead of protecting me...leaving me poor and defenseless with 1 can of bug spray (not nearly enough since the buggies come out at night) and a wide assortment of shoes to squash the bugs....well- he is in AZ working on his ground truthing stuff...but let it be known that in dire circumstances (aka: husband is out of town), I can rise up and kill a few measly buggies...BUT- if they start hanging out more than a few at a time...I'll lose it!

To tide you over

Until we get batteries for our camera (and figure out the deal with the rechargeable ones), here are a few pictures taken by my friend Nicki on her iPhone! These were taken the end of Feb. so sorry they are a lil old..but still cute! :)

He just poses for the camera-silly kid!

This is his infamous camera face that he has now outgrown- so sad!

Little cheeser!!!

Grocery Smarts Class

Sorry for the late notice but in case anyone in Vegas is reading this and I havent talked with you- PLEASE come tonight at my house- 7:oo PM. We are going to learn about saving money on groceries!! Wooo hooo! People in Utah- you can do this too...I dont know of any other states as of right now. I will post more information after the class! Thanks Lynette for letting me crash yours- you can come to mine if you want :). Heehee

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! Unfortunately, our camera has no batteries to take pics of the cutest kid in his most adorable church outfit ever...but when I do get the camera working-hold on to you hats!! Love you all!

I dont get it...

So I know I will probably get a lot of flack for this post but I just gotta vent....I do not understand the fascination with Beyonce's song "Single Ladies." To me the video looks like a car accident..you just cant look away but you so desperately want to...whenever I see bits of the video (I must confess, I cant watch the entire video all the way through) I find that I feel my face fall into a glazed over you-must-be-kidding-me-what-the-heck-is-this-nonsense type of look...I dont want to try and find a link to it but go over to youtube and search for it...let me know why ppl would want to watch that over and over (or once all the way through for that matter). It's right up there with Napoleon Dynamite and Rat Race.

We are home!

Well folks, settle in because this is going to be a long post!!! I have been away from my computer and high-speed internet for a week!! Hunter has had a busy few weeks. I took him over to meet my great aunt Betty (my grandpa's sister) and he had a blast!

Hunter and I then left on an adventure to go to Houston to visit my grandma and family out there. They had yet to meet Hunter and we thought the best time to go was for Hunter's first birthday!! We flew by ourselves and survived and Jeremy joined us on Thursday in time for Hunters party. I dont have video of that up and running yet because our video camera is less user-friendly than we realized when we bought it...but we do have some good pictures!
Before Jeremy got here we went to a place called The Chocolate Bar (theoriginalchocolatebar.com). SOOOOO great! I got a lot of ideas for when I finally convince Jeremy to let me do chocolates, etc.

The night of Hunter's birthday Jeremy and I got to go to the Theatre Under the Stars (www.tuts.com) to see Les Miserables!!! My aunt Lynda works there so we also got to go backstage afterward. My camera flash is lame in such a big place but I was able to get some decent pictures of the barricade, wedding table, and costumes. It was AWESOME!!! Jeremy and I didnt remember all of it, so it was like seeing it for the first time (plus, it wasnt on a turntable this time so it was different anyway). LOVED IT!

We went to the Science Museum the next day to check out the life of Ghengis Khan and took in some dinosaurs as well...it was a great day!!

Thanks Grandma for EVERYTHING-especially all of the gifts for Hunter and his great birthday!!! We love you and miss you all!
On the way home, we were trying to wear our Hunter so he would sleep on the long flight back-since he is almost walking by himself but not quite brave enough to try, he often uses anything else to walk with:

The wheelchair did the trick and he slept for most of the flight (he would have slept for the whole flight except the attendants kept coming over the LOUD speaker and waking him up!!!)
When we got home, we were able to zip over to the strip to pick up my mom and nana so they could see Hunter for a brief minute or two (boy was he cranky!!!). Then later this week, my uncle and aunt are coming out from Lubbock for a visit....April is flying by and we are loving it all!!!
