Just so you know, our camera is dead. I had it in the diaper bag, and the sippy cup wasn't shut all the way, and the snack bag was open, talk about graham cracker mud. Sooo you get the idea. No pics for a while. I think when/if we get a new one, I'll have a snack baggie all for it's own.
My friend, Nancy McMurtrey and her sweet husband, Josh, are waiting for a baby. They have made the wonderful decision to adopt, and are waiting for a birth mother to choose them. I am adding their adoption profile to my blog, so if you know of anyone who is looking for two loving parents for her baby, please refer her here. Nancy has been a special friend to me for almost ten years, and I will always love her for her ready smile, silly giggle, and listening ear. She is such a sweet example to all those who come in contact with her, and I hope that she knows just how special she is. Nancy, I love you.
This is the back yard.
This is the front yard and storage shed.
This is what you see when/if you come to visit.
And here is the living room and kitchen. I will post pics of the other rooms when I get them cleaned. What do ya think?
Sitting in Mommies pan. She did this for five minutes. Don't know what she was expecting to happen.
Grabbed her monkey, rolled over, and took a nap.
Waiting for the prayer to be over. (Grandmama Luan made the bib...isn't it CUTE?)
Grinning in Grandmama's favorite color.
So, I decided to try my hand at documenting an event. Yesterday was soooo crazy. I'll try to keep my story short. OK. First of all, St. Patrick's day has become a tradition in our little family. I make corned beef, cooked cabbage, and cooked carrots for dinner. When I went shopping for the corned beef, I discovered that none of the local grocery stores had any! So...I had to drive to Idaho Falls which is a 30 minute drive. When I got to Winco (whom I KNOW carries corned beef), I didn't have my wallet. Well, I didn't want to make anything else for dinner (plus we were having company), so I drove all the way back home, got my wallet, and drove all the way back (did I mention that Zuki is not used to long car rides and was upset the whole time?). When we got home, I put the beef in my big pot, and commenced to make sugar cookies for the first time. These turned out great. Then I started to peel the carrots, and chop the cabbage, and realized my pot wasn't big enough, and I would need another big pot, so I ran over to my friends apartment to borrow a pot, and just as I shut the door, my heart sank as I realized I had locked myself out (thank goodness Zuki was sleeping). So, I ran and got the pot, and also borrowed one of her credit cards so that I could pick my lock. By the time I got into the apartment, I was way behind schedule. Then I realized that I had a meeting later on that I wouldn't be able to make, so I called the girl I was supposed to meet with and asked her if she wouldn't mind coming over so that I could explain her calling to her (she was called to my calling), she told me she would be over in ten minutes. Mo called right after I hung up, and said he was ready to be picked up. AHHH! So, I woke Zuki up, and we rushed to get Mo, and got back just as the girl was coming to see me. Then our guests came, and THEN...our Home Teachers came over. Mo had made and appointment, and totally forgot about it. I didn't even know. I had to laugh. After all this, I forgot to take pictures of the food and our guests. Grrr. I will do better next time.
Here are her top teeth!!! She's figuring out how to bite, I mean, not people, but food and stuff like that. I hope she doesn't start biting other people.
Look at her eyelashes!!! I wish mine were that long.
Discovering toilet paper was such a joy.
Peeking in on Daddy!
Playtime!
Loves helping out in the kitchen!
Okay, so we were watching American Idol, and we realized it was too quiet, so we looked to see what Zuki was up to, and she was eating this piece of chocolate...not only the chocolate, but the wrapper too!!!Where do FLIES come from???? I do not like that annoying little buzzing sound of a fly on the inside of my window. I have shrink-wrapped my windows, so they aren't coming from the outside of the windows, and my door is NEVER open, mainly because I have a sweet little one who would take a tumble down the stairs, AND the flies come one at a time. I chase one around the apartment, and by the time I have broken a knick-knack, and my hair is out of whack, the fly is dead and flushed down the toilet. Two days later, there is another one and it starts all over again!!! You'd think if they are being hatched inside my apartment, there would be more than one at a time. So...Where are they coming from? Maybe its a slow invasion. Maybe they think I'll get tired of chasing their little soldiers down, and let them live...then they might send two the next time. OR!!! They could be cameras...little flying robots...does anyone else have any ideas??? I am running out of knick-knacks!
Okay, so I know I am a little late getting back to the real world. Mo and I have had a very weird few weeks, from our car trouble in Elko, to my Grampa passing away, and lost keys in the snow (talk about a needle in a haystack). On top of that, Mo got a new computer this semester, and thus all the pictures have been going onto his computer, and not mine. This will complicate blog matters. Don't worry, I am determined to get all these stories out one at a time, They don't have pictures to go with them, but, I'll post some you haven't seen. What a weird year we have started.
