Funny

Love love love this movie! What a way to kick off the summer with a great chick flick. I love movies that you can laugh out loud from beginning to end and this is one of those. I will own this one for sure! Thanks Andrea & Britnee for a movie night. P.S. We need to do that more often.

Vegas Baby

Last month my sister's and I went on our annual Girls Trip! This year we went to Vegas. We had such a good time. We saw Beatles Love and I LOVED it! Definitely a highlight. Its always nice to hang out with the girls, eat yummy food and of course laugh a lot! Thanks girls for another year full of fun memories!

What will that child say next...

My sister and her kids were over at our house last week, and we were making Pot Stickers. Aubrey was trying to get my nephew Kolman to try to eat them. She said..."Kolman, do you want to try a Pot Sticker?" Kolman said..."no" Aubrey replies with..."You should try them, they're really good, they have pot in them"! Bob and I just looked at each other and started laughing! I can't wait until that gets around...Jen puts pot in her pot stickers! Ha ha ha

Then here's another funny...This evening Aubrey said that her tummy hurt a little bit. She said that she was full of gasoline and had to get her toots out!

I just love that girl!

Meet Mr. or Mrs. Egg

The last week of preschool Aubrey made this fabulous egg! We've been watering it and now it has this fabulous hair! Good job Aubrey.

One Year Later...

I just realized that it has been ONE year since my very first post! I'm a bloggin' fool. I've decided that I'm going to print my blog every year, so at the end of each year I'm going to do a "year in review"...

This past year has been great! Aubrey started and finished preschool. She is as social as ever. She has outgrown her bike and "hopefully" will be getting a new one for her birthday. We registered her for Kindergarten, which was a crazy moment for me. I kept looking around for my mom to help me out. I've never been the grown-up when it came to school. She is so excited to start kindergarten. She has just finished her second year of swim lessons. Last year she didn't like going underwater, but this year is a different story. She spends more time underwater then out. She loves to color, sing, dance, jump on the trampoline, drive her pink Cadillac w/ Kennedy, plays with friends and most of all she loves to entertain her family (which she does rather well).

Kennedy is now sleeping in a "big girl bed"! It has been a smooth transition from crib to bed. She is still taking naps, which is heaven! We are going to start working on potty training soon. She LOVES her big sister. She has to have everything Aubrey has and wants to do everything Aubrey does. She has a feisty personality! I think she might have the best lungs ever. She is also really funny. She is still giving us "the look". She loves the trampoline too. Kennedy and I are in swim lessons too this year. We are in a Mom/Tot class. She loves the water and is really good a kicking her little chubby legs.

Bob is still @ BYU and loving it. He just got back from Lake Powell with the YM in our ward. He had such a good time. He has made a total of 4 surf boards and is now working on the 5th. Because everyone needs 5 surf boards!

And as for me, not much has changed in the last year. I'm still a mom. Still trying to find time to shower! I love being a mom. Expecially to my sweet girls. It's so fun to see them grow and to become such good friends. They are my little best friends and I'm so lucky to be their mom. Man I'm boring...I'm sitting here trying to think of things I've done in a year and not much is coming to mind. Pretty much things stay the same around here, which is not always a bad thing. Hopefully this next year will have big things in store for me!

Pictures...

Bob got spoiled this year and had two parties. One at our house and the other at my parents. Wait a minute... I don't get more then one party! Come to think of it, I'm lucky if I get one!

Happy Birthday Bob!

Today is my sweet husbands 48th birthday. We had a small family get together at our house. Aubrey and I made the cake (pictures to come...)
Bob, I hope you know how much I appreciate you and how much I love you. You are a terrific father and a wonderful husband. I want to thank you for all you do for me and the girls. You're the best! I guess I could list "48" things I love about you, but I don't want to make people throw up :)

Oh, I just thought of something funny that happened a little bit ago...

I was reading a blog of a friend and she was talking about how much she loves her husband and all the wonderful things he does for her, well on the list was "I love that my husband puts toothpaste on my toothbrush every night before we go to bed". I was reading this out loud to Bob and he started laughing..."who does that"!
The next morning, Bob comes and wakes me up..."Jen, you didn't brush your teeth last night"? He had put tooth paste on my toothbrush and I didn't even get to use it! By the way, don't judge me! It was late and sometimes I'm just to tired.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Buster! I love you.

Well this is us...

Not sure what to "blog" about. Pretty much everyone reading this would already know what's going on in our lives. But if you don't for some reason, here it goes...

Bob and I have been married 7 years this July. We met while working up at Sundance. We have two beautiful girls. Aubrey is our oldest. She is so funny. She is such a delight to have around. Kennedy is our youngest. She is very dramatic even at this young age! We are amazed how we got two very high maintenance children for how laid back Bob and I are. Both girls have beautiful big eyes and infectious smiles! They have truly completed our lives.

Bob is a electrician and loving it. I'm a stay at home mom, by far the hardest job that I've ever had, but wouldn't trade it for anything! We bought a house almost 3 years ago, and have been "trying" to remodel it since we bought it. It's small, but we love it and especially the area!

We are so grateful for all we have and appreciate all our blessings.

Deep thoughts by...

In primary they have been talking about the "holy ghost". One day in the car we were talking about it, and she asked me what color the wind was. I told her that you can't see it, you can just feel it. Then she said, like the holy ghost. So now when we get into the car, she rolls down her window and says...I can feel the holy ghost, mom roll your window down so you can feel it too! (Brillant)

They also have been talking about the Temple. She asked Bob and I the other day if we had been to the temple. We told her yes. Then she said, you've been to the temple and were sealed and can never come out. I think she thinks that when you go to the temple to be sealed your stuck in there forever. I love how simple and sweet her thoughts are.

This one is pretty funny....so Daddy a.k.a. Bob was acting pretty grumpy the other day and Aubrey said "daddy I'm going to call you grumpy like one of the seven dorks". So according to Aubrey they are not dwarfs they are dorks!

I think Aubrey must be really excited about starting ski school this winter. Last night she wanted to say her prayers twice, and in both prayers it included..."help me to be safe in ski school and that we won't trip over our skis"! Not only was that adorable, she also included "please bless me when I get old and have babies". I was trying so hard to not laugh! I seriously love the way that girls thinks. Can't wait to hear what she had to say tonight.

September 14, 2008
For Aubrey's birthday her Grandma B. gave her $10 dollars. Well last week I asked her if she wanted to go to Target and pick out one toy with her birthday money. She responded I want to go to the dollar store where I can get 10 toys! Pretty smart girl.

September 26, 2008
So as I was putting Aubrey to bed, she informed me that I needed to go to the store and get some "coco puffs" so she could have them for breakfast in the morning. How does this girl even know about "coco puffs"?

October 16, 2008
The other morning Aubrey was complaining of a tummy ache. I asked her does it hurt all the time or does it come and go (I think she had a little gas) and her response to me was..."no, only on Mondays & Tuesdays".

Aubrey is now a CTR! So lately we have been talking about what it means to choose the right. The other day in the car, Aubrey says to me "Mom, someday we can go back to live with our Heavenly Father" my reply was "that's right, and that's why its important to always choose the right" she then says..."yeah, because if we choose the left we won't be able to".

Kennedy's Updates

She is now almost 16 months and still not walking. Well let me rephrase...only taking a few steps. She is now saying "da da" "ma ma", and she loves to say "doggie" which sounds like "dodgeee". Her favorite pal is her stuffed animal doggie that she stole from Julie. She loves to climb stairs and is a tornado coming down.

July 28, 2008
Kennedy is now officially walking! The last four days I have not seen her crawl. Well, except when she had Aubrey's shoes on her hands and she crawled down the hall way. She seems to be much happier now that she can walk!

August 10, 2008
Kennedy is now talking up a storm! While most of it sounds like Chinese, she is starting to make a little more sense. She can now say "shoes" and when she wants to go outside she says "side". She is really good at saying "down", pretty much if she can't express what she's trying to say she resorts to "down".
She is starting to show her cute little personality. She
has such a cute little smile, and giggles all the time. And not to mention, gets into EVERYTHING!

August 31, 2008
Ok, this girl is obsessed with SHOES! It's one of the few words she can say. She wears Aubrey's, Mine, & even Bob's. She loves her clothes and like to pull all of them down out of the closet and off the hanger. Thats always a fun one to pick up after! She has about 5 doggies she sleeps with and in the morning when she is getting picked up out of the crib, you better believe that the whole dog pound has to come with her! She will hand you one at a time until your arms are so full you can barely pick her up.

September 14, 2008
This girl is FUNNY. Her new thing is when she goes poop in her diaper she comes over to me and says "yuck" and then gets a new diaper. She dances everytime she hears music...including when my phone rings. She stands on her head with her butt up in the air, then looks between her legs and laughs. She loves to pull Aubrey's hair...usually for no good reason at all. We are working on that. Aubrey, I'm sure, hopes that phase will soon end.

January 13, 2009
Kennedy has a new obsession...Mama Mia! As soon as we get in the car she wants to listen to the Mama Mia soundtrack, and it has to be played at the right volume (which is pretty loud) and then starts the singing and dancing - well as much dancing as she can do while strapped in her car seat.
For the past few nights she has not wanted to go to bed and will put up a good fight doing so. Well during her fit of rage in her crib she was yelling, screaming, crying, etc...in the middle of all of that she starting singing Mama Mia! It went like this...cry cry Mama mia...go again...my my...zista(resist ya)...then back to crying. I couldn't help but to laugh.
