Photo Tag

Take a picture of each item to let us get to know you better:

1. Your keychain

Pretty plain, we only have 1 car key so Tyler doesn't want to carry any girlie keychains.

2. Your favorite edible treat in the house right now

Unfortunately I have stopped buying any hard-core treats because we are trying to lose some pounds so this is as treatish as I could get. I do work at dairy queen now so when I endulge, its bad.

3. Something you are proud of

I am playing on hard in Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I know its not that wonderful but it totally is to me!

4. Your favorite wall hanging, picture, or piece of art

I got this at the kirkland home store and it is ablove our couch. This is a copper hammered piece of art of the last supper Tyler got in Chile.

5. Something in your yard that makes you smile

We don't have a yard but a balcony and this is the best gift I have everyday. The diaper champ for any odor I don't want in the house.

6. A current project

I don't know if I'll ever tackle it, but here is the last of the junk from our move that still hasn't found a home, or its way to goodwill. Notice all of Tyler's wires that he can't bare to part with.

7. Worst pair of shoes

These really aren't bad at all but they are the oldest. I rotate my shoes a whole lot. These would have gone out with the rest in the last rotation but they are so comfortable. I bought them at America Eagle in 2003. On the right one on the heel you can see where my cat once chewed on them. They're still good.

8. Oldest thing you own

Nintendo 64. We don't house any heirlooms here.

9. Something from your childhood

Here's flopsy. The childhood favorite toyl. She got retired when I went to college and I haven't slept with her since. But I will never get rid of her.

10. 3 of your favorite DVDs

This is just a small sampling. I love futurama and I have all the seasons. That covers the cartoon adult comedies I love. Then Van Helsing to cover the fatasy, vampire warewolf movies. And Talladega Nights to cover all the stupid humor movies with Ben Stiller, Will Farrel, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, etc.

Okay, I tag anyone who reads this. I want to see everyone's pictures.

Dealing with the Summer

David hadn't slept well last night and the night before, so today he was extra grouchy. Like, VERY unpleasant. So in distress I vented to Amy on IM and she gave me the greatest idea. We stuck him on the patio in his swim trunks and a tub of water. Throw in some tubby toys and he was entertained for an hour. We just watched him play out in the heat while we were nice and cool inside.

Saturday (Father's Day) Swim

We went swimming on Saturday to celebrate Father's Day at Kim's. I got some great pictures. Grandpa and David Tyler cannon ball Kenadee's first cannon ball Jason and Tucker

Our Trip to Louisiana

We went to Louisiana for one of Tyler's mission companion's wedding. They are really good friends so it meant a lot to the both of them. These are our pictures from the Fench Quarter. Tyler's shrimp Poboy sandwich with Jumbalaya

The Houses

The houses were like this everywhere. Some are very old.

Big Boy Bed!!!!

After about a month of David climbing out of the crib and then sleeping on a cusion on the floor we finally took down the side of the crib and made a day bed. He was incredibly excited and kept backing up for a running start and then flying onto the bed. We did find him on the floor an hour after he fell asleep and Tyler put him in his bed. So, it might take a few nights for him to get it, but we are very proud of our big boy.

Naptime

Now that David gets out of the crib this is how I usually find him during naptime. After a few solo missions with unhappy consequences, he has now learned to rescue puppy (blue dog) first by throwing him out of the crib and then follow. (Puppy's head does not fit through the bars of the crib. He used to climb out and then reach into the crib to grab him and pull and pull and pull and leave a very strangled puppy while David cried, "BA BA!" With experience we knew exactly what had happened and we would reunite him with his most precious puppy.)

Mommy and David Fun

David swiped the camera off the desk and amungst the blurry shots he actually managed a real picture. I call it "A Foot Discovered".

Then we played!

And got stuck. And instead of mommy saving him she grabbed the camera.
