Jealous?

This is where I'll be for the next little while.

30 Rock

Jack: "Lemon is that a cup?"

Liz: "Oh i forgot. Only guys can get hurt there."

Pete: "Will you call twofer and talk some sense into him?"

Tracy: "Oh ya, ask the black guy cause we all know each other. Pete could you tell a bald eagle to stop scaring me, at zoos?!"

Liz: "I want someone who will clean out the dishwasher, not just take out forks as needed."

I laughed out loud through out both episodes last night. I'm sure I'll think of more lines later.

Antelope Island

I've had a stressful couple of weeks. We had our house appraised and were going through the process of refinancing when we found out that our neighbors may be moving. They live in our cul-de-sac in our dream house. Erik and I have always said that if that house ever goes up for sale that we would try to get it. It's bigger than ours, still a rambler, and has a 3 car garage. The family is in the military and should find out this week if they are moving. We put our refi on hold and are waiting to find out. While we've been waiting I've been cleaning out closets, scrubbing & am in the process of painting my bathroom (which is a nightmare). I'm just doing little things that needed to be done anyways, but that will make our house easier to get ready to sell if the opportunity comes up.

I've also been getting my stuff together for the boutique I'm doing this weekend. I have so much fabric and ideas, just not enough time. But I've got some cute things finished.

Then Erik & I are going out of town next week to Florida so I'm trying to get the house ready for babysitters and for the possibility that it may be up for sale. I'm excited and Erik & I need the break and the time together, but I am sad to leave my babies. We've never left them before, but I'm grateful to have family close by that will be helping us.

I've been wanting to do family pictures but have been waiting for some good weather and last night worked out for us and the photographer. I had seen some beautiful photos she had done at Antelope island so we headed out there. We don't have any pictures of all of us together, and we still may not after last night, but we tried. It was windy and our kids were not very cooperative, but they had fun digging in the sand and throwing mud balls.

I found these cute shirts for the boys a month or so ago and have spent the last month trying to find something for me to match. I should have found myself something first, preferably in black, because the kids look cute in everything. But hopefully we all look cute in a few of them, I'll post pictures when I get them. .

Earlier in the week Kire & I tie dyed some shirts for the boys and they turned out pretty cute.

Otherwise, nothing too exciting around here.

Baby Animal Days

I felt like super mom this week. It was spring break so Kire didn't have preschool and Erik was out of town so I took the boys out everyday. We met our friends at the park, went to the treehouse museum and today I took the boys up to Logan for Baby Animal Days. They had tons of animals the boys could see and hold, a train, bouncy toys, and even some baby bears. My sister Julia lives up there so we met up with her and had a fun and tiring day.

In every picture Jack is just pointing. He loved seeing all of the animals, but didn't like to touch most of them, with the exception of the ducklings, he squeezed them. I'm pretty sure all of the chicks and ducks that were handled will die in the next couple of days from internal injuries.

And I want to know how someone this cute, can look so ugly?

We loved the bunnies. I'm tempted to get another one, but don't want to kill another animal so we'll see. But seriously how sweet is this lop?

Thanks Jules!

Broken Finger

On Saturday I was cleaning out my storage area and while moving a box a huge piece of wood smashed my finger. I took a picture with my camera but it didn't do it justice. It is red and purple and hard, because it is so swollen and the blood has no where to go. I've been icing it and took it easy yesterday but I had to work today. It's my middle finger on my right hand, which I didn't realize I use so much as a dental hygienist, so I'm kind of worthless today.
I took an x-ray of the same finger on my good hand:
And this is my smashed finger. The bone's cracked, but there's really nothing I can do about it. So I'll just go get a splint later and hope it heals normally. FML.

Happy Easter!

It snowed yesterday, but it was nice enough today to enjoy an easter egg hunt. Kire loves a good treasure hunt and Jack likes to throw things so they both had fun.
This was one of Kire's halloween costumes and we use every year for Easter too. This year Jack got to sport the chicken. He was thrilled, as you can see, but he looked darling.

And I've mentioned how Jack carries this toy around with him everywhere. Well yesterday he would not get in the bath without "squeeks" and I figured it was due for a wash so I let him.

Michael Buble

I enjoyed my Christmas present last night finally by going to the Michael Buble` concert, it was worth the wait. He was fabulous. He was funny and charismatic and sounded even better in person. My favorite part of the show was when he did this little Billy Jean bit:

I found this on youtube because I didn't record it.

Almost as entertaining was the gay couple in front of us. They seriously looked homeless, long straggly hair and a broncos cap, and looked liked they had never heard a Michael song, but they danced the whole time.

Thanks honey, and Erik!
