Fun Stuff

Here is a little questionaire thing I got from my sister in-laws blog. It looked fun :)

10 years ago:

I was a very geeky 7th grader

Snacks I enjoy:

I dont think there is a snack I dont enjoy, but barbeque potatoe chips are my favorite.

5 things on my to-do list:

1. Clean my house (it'll never happen)

2. Finishing painting Ayden's room and our bedroom

3. Go to sleep earlier (Ayden wakes up earlier and earlier)

4. Visit my family in Tucson, it's been too long

5. Do SOMETHING with my hair, it's looking bad!

Things I would do if I were made a billionaire:

I would have SO much fun! I'd first of all buy a house, then decorate it however I want. Buy clothes, toy's for Ayden. Buy my own scrapbook store. Brian can tell you, I dont have any trouble spending money. Let's just say, I'd have a good time.

3 of my bad habits:

1. Im super messy

2. I bite my lip (brian hates it when I do that)

3. Watch WAY too much TV

5 places where I have lived:

1. Long Beach, California

2. Somewhere in Maryland :)

3. Tucson, Arizona

4. Thatcher, Arizona

5. Chandler, Arizona

Jobs I have had:

Pre-school After care, K-5 After Care teacher, Copy room worker, crossing guard (yup, not the funnest job I've had), Hair salon receptionist, and going to beauty school (yes Im counting that, it was definitly work. Only worse, we have to pay THEM to work! :)).

Things people dont know about me:

Well, my family knows this, but I am REALLY messy. I LOVE bargain shopping, I have very rarely bought anything that wasn't on sale or clearance. When I had Ayden, I was SO scared when my water started breaking that I was in total denial, I stayed at home and watched Notting Hill and didn't go to the hospitol for 4 hours. I also lied during my first ultrasound of Ayden, I really couldn't see him :(.

Renee has turned me into a coupon FREAK!!!

So my sister got into coupons a while ago. She would alway's tell me all the deals she'd get and how she was saving all this money. Now previously when I thought of coupons I immediatly thought of a lady in our home ward who was like obsessed with clipping coupons and saving every cent. So it took me a while to look into this whole coupon thing. Renee started me out slowly telling me about some good deals and showing me where to get some coupons and stuff. Then, this whole coupon and saving money thing kinda took on a life of it's own. I am obsessed! I have been calling Renee like everyday talking about coupons and deals for free string cheese and other silly deals. But it is so fun! I have already saved SO much money and I just barely got started. Poor Renee has created a monster and now Im gonna bug her all the time about deals and coupons and stuff (SORRY Renee!!!). Anyway's its pretty fun learning how to save money, especially when you dont have much of it, every cent really does count :) And just so it wasn't a total waste of a post, here are a couple of pictures of Ayden ;)

Such a happy little baby, that smile makes my heart happy :)Passed out coldHe likes to be naked:)That milk dripping out of his mouth is so cute huh?!

shocker!

So I have been pretty out of it lately. We just barely got our Internet up and running in our new place and it has been a couple of weeks since I have really surfed the web. Yesterday I went to one of my favorite sites, People Magazine (I'm such a sucker for celebrity gossip), and saw that Heath Ledger had died. I was so sad! I had THE BIGGEST crush on him, I used to have a picture of him (and Johnny Depp :)) in my room at home. I wanted to marry him after I saw 10 things I hate about you! So sad that he died so young, especially with a little baby. Anyways I don't wanna go on and on about it, but it was just so sad. Make's you really think about your life and how you can make it better and make everyday count. Sorry for my little tribute post, but its just so sad!

Dont worry, we ARE alive!

So wow! This past month has been a crazy one! It's just been one crazy, stressful thing after another. So I'll try to make it as short and sweet as I can!

We had a really good Christmas, and got alot more stuff than we need or deserve! One of our favorite presents was our brand spankin new camera! Not just your everyday boring camera, but a REAL camera! We got a Cannon Rebel XT and it is SO awesome! I haven't had time to really figure it out yet but I have been fooling around a little and am just totally LOVING it! So get ready to view about a billion pictures that I have taken over the last month!

We are finally moved! Our old apartment had a split floor plan with stairs, which was so annoying once we had Ayden and we had to haul all of his stuff up and down the stairs. Well, we had a hard time finding a place that we liked and that was available at the right time so we wouldn't be homeless. We ended up finding a place that we really like, the only drawback is that we are on the third story! Which really isn't the greatest but not having to have all of Ayden's toys in the middle of our living room and can just throw them in his room is wonderful! Im just so happy that we are done moving! Poor Brian was SO pooped out having to move all the stuff up and down 3 stories! And on top of it all Ayden was super sick and SO grumpy!

So last but not least I'm gonna give an update on the little stinker! He got really sick on the first day of our move so I rushed him to the doctor's office to find out he had an ear infection, a bad case of thrush, and brochilitous (don't think I spelt that right?). We had to get this breathing machine that he had to breath medicine from every 4 hours. It was a tough week last week. Pretty much every time we put him down he would cry. So it was really hard being stressed out with moving and having to deal with a crying baby the whole time. We had to keep reminding ourselves that he didn't feel good and just wanted some comfort and love. So Ayden is feeling better now, although I think he has his first tooth coming in. Poor kid cant get a break! Ayden has also learned to crawl! Okay so it's more like scooting, but he is gettin around pretty good! Which for us is a nightmare! He just gets into EVERYTHING! He has toys surrounding him, but now the he is mobile none of those old baby toys are fun. He LOVES cords, plastic bags, and pretty much anything that is dangerous or messy for him to get into. I think our easy day's with Ayden are long gone!

Well, that's mostly everything! Sorry it was so long and I promise to be a better blogger in the future!

Brian and Ayden playing Passed out in his stroller

Everyone's Favorite baby, right!

Trying so hard to crawl he would some how get into this pose instead. We affectionately call it the stink bug pose.

Here are some of Brian's pictures:

Such a pretty sunset in PimaCool picture close up of a bee

How'd they do that!?!?

If this doesn't put you in the christmas spirit I don't know what will!

Enjoy!!!

bad blogger

So I'm sad to say that I have been a pretty bad blogger. So to make up for all my lame surveys and elf experimentation's, I'm posting what I know everyone who checks out this blog looks for, pics of Ayden. Here are some of my favorite pics from the last week or two.

I am SO proud of this. I found this little exersaucer at Goodwill for $6!!! I LOVE getting things for cheap and was SO excited when I saw this practically brand new toy underneath like 10 old crappy ones! Ayden loves it too, he likes to move the toys on the line from one side to the other. I blame this one on my mom. I couldn't get him doing it on camera, but my mom taught Ayden to suck on his toes. Now he does it ALL the time. Mommy, your in trouble :)
Ayden passed out after playing
Ayden must have a big head cause none of the baby beanies fit him. I got this grown up one at Target and it looks SO cute on him! I love it!
This is something that Im sure everyone else will think is the most boring thing they have ever seen, but Ayden woke us up at 4:30 in the morning making these spitting noises. He was just being so funny and happy. I love how at the end when Brian picks him up, he is still trying to look at the camera. He gets fascinated by the orange light that turns on, on the camera.
