Wonderful Wednesday

1) Seeing "Mamma Mia"! I loved this movie oh so much! I laughed, I cried, I sang, and I wanted so badly to stand up and dance!

2) The girls' weekend out! We went to Brigham City and swam in our hotel pool. Then we went to The Pickleville Playhouse to see "Thoroughly Modern Millie." That was such a cute play. There were fun characters and fun songs and choreography!

3) Alexis is one talkative baby! She is so close to saying ma. She has the mmmmm down and the aah down but the sounds have not met yet.

4) Dad is still not smoking!

5) Well this isn't necessarily "wonderful" but this is what is going on. I started work today. I am going to transport kids to and from school and I am going to co teach a 2 year old class. It'll be nice to have money but it's hard to leave Lexie.

Wonderful Wednesday

Well this is the last Wonderful Wednesday of the month of July! What wonderful things happened this week?

1) My cousin Katie, her husband Art, and their son Dakota are visiting from Virginia. They will be here for 3 weeks. I haven't seen them since last September. Dakota is adorable he is growing like a weed. He was 3 months when they left and know he is 13 months old. I am happy they had a safe flight over and I am so excited they are here!!

2) My Dad is still cigarette free! I am so glad that he is sticking with quitting. Some time next month we are going to through a party for him! Hooray!

3) I finally went camping! I really needed the break from my house and I had a lot of help with Alexis this weekend. I actually had a little time for Luther and me to relax with each other. We took the canoe out and we just sat on the lake for awhile just enjoying the peace and quite. Ahh tranquility!

4) Alexis turned 4 months old on Sunday. Can you believe it? She had her 4 month doctor's appointment on Monday and we found out that she now weighs 12lbs 12oz and is 25 1/2in long. She is above average with hight and below with weight. Her doctor says that she is a healthy, happy, perfect, little baby.

5) Luther is at home this week. (He is waiting for a call from his union.) The reason he's home is not so great but at least I get to spend a little time with him. Well currently he is working on the "south house" to cover our rent for the month, but I have seen him a lot this week and I LOVE it!

6) I got an amazing message from a friend yesterday that boosted my spirits. Lately I have been a litle down on myself worrying that I am not that great of a person. Her letter helped me so much to realize that I have done nice things for people that are much appreciated! So thank you.

7) Cheyenne is going to her first Girl's Camp. I'm not excited that she's gone I am excited that she gets to go and have this uber fun experience. Frankly I am jealous, I used to love Girl's Camp. But I am happy for her nonetheless.

Wonderful Wednesday

1) Dad is STILL cigarette free! That makes it 20 days! I am so proud of him. I can't remember if I said why he's quitting so I will share that now. My dad wants to be able to spend more time with Alexis and he wants to be more healthy. GO DAD!

2) Luther is home today and will be home tomorrow. I love having my hubby home. I wonder what we will do today.

3) Alexis is getting smarter everday! She found her toes yesterday. What fun things to chew on.

4) Cheyenne came over yesterday to play with Alexis. I was able to shower and do my hair! (For those with young children you understand how AMAZING this is!)

5) Seeing "The Dark Knight"! OMG this movie is so awesome. It was a great ending to Heath Ledger's career/life. It was very exciting and thrilling.

6) Alexis is very photogenic. Here's one with aunt Chey's cell phone.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a good Pioneer Day for all of you Utahns!

Wonderful Wednesday

This has been a very difficult week for me. So it is very important for me to do the list this week.

1) Steph and my Mom are alive. I got pictures of the wreck and they are lucky they survived the crash.

2) I will get to spend more time with Luther. (I won't need to worry about play practices, meaning more time for hubby and me!)

3) I have realized who my real friends are. Thank you Sarah and Lindsey.

4) The yearly family sleepover. My grandma did a Disney theme for the treasure hunt. It was very cute.

5) I apologized and was forgiven! It feels good. :)

6) My dad has gone 13 days without a cigarette!

Wonderful Wednesday

1) Getting out of a bad situation. I am so glad that I no longer have a friendship that requires walking on eggshells!

2)Luther's Birthday! Luther turned 25 on Monday July, 7. We celebrated on Saturday at the Cheesecake Factory. I had half of a chicken salad sandwich with salad and soup for lunch and a "Godiva" chocolate cheesecake. Yum! Luther had a bbq pizza and salad for lunch and the white chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake! He liked his meal too!

3) 4th of July Parade. What can I say? I love the floats and the free candy! LOL! And Alexis looked adorable!

4) Fireworks. They make me feel like I am still a litle kid! Love it!

5) My dad has been cigarette free for 6 days!! Hooray!! I am so proud of him. I hope that he can stick with it!

6) "Nunsense" auditions. Technically Steph and I are auditioning tomorrow but I am too excited to wait for next Wednesday to share the news!

7) FHE. I was in charge of family home evening on Monday for Luther's family and it went well!

Wonderful Wednesday

So I am copying others and creating a weekly blog. It will be a list of the wonderful things that have happened during the week.

1) Leaving Dutch John! Holy heavens, I am so glad to be out of there. I was going nuts! No TV, no internet, no friends.... its the perfect recipe for one to start talking to themselves!!

2) Seeing my family! This kinda ties into the above statement. I missed them so much. Plus, with family around I have someone to help with little miss Lexie! :)

3) Old Navy $1 flip-flops! I haven't bought a new pair for a year. Perfect excuse to get me a few!

4) Boating! So Luther and I were slackers and sluffed church but we were able to go boating! I love to swim in the lake and Luther and I took the boat out on our own. (Hubba hubba!)

5) Shooting a bow! My cousins were over at my grandma's to practice their bow shooting and I tried it. I wasn't too bad! Granted the bow had only 15lbs resistance and I was 10 yards from the target, but I still ROCKED!!

6) Luther's New Job! He started his new job on Monday. He is now working at Brent Brown Dodge in Orem. So far has been good. He has a few guys he carpools with so we'll also save money on gas!

7) Guitar Hero Aerosmith! I have already passed the medium difficulty and am well on my way to passing the hard one!

8) Stephanie finally has an "epi pen"! That nut allergy of hers has been real scary. Now I have peace of mind! I can sleep at night!!

9) My mom did my dishes!! Thanks ma!

10) I found out which dance class I will be teaching this fall! Bring on those preschoolers!
