little moments

Alright, I have not posted anything up in awhile, so I am just going to make a quick comment. The past few days, Connor has been such a sweetheart! The moments I have with my nephew make it so that I can't wait to have children of my own. Usually when I want to hold him he will want his mommy the second he sees her, but lately when I hold him, he just relaxes in my arms and cuddles with me. Sometimes I hold him at night just before he goes to bed, but the second he hears or sees Siri, he wants her.

Just the other day, Adelyn and Connor were out playing in the dirt and he had got some dirt in his eyes and just been crying. I told Addie that it was time for tubby and took her and the "screaming cause there is dirt in my eyes" child to the bathroom. By this time, I had already rinsed and wiped the dirt out of Connors eyes, but he kept crying and refused to sit in the tub. I hurried and dumped water on his head to get the dirt out of his hair (thus making him cry more) washed and wrapped in a towel. Well unfortunately he was still crying, but not screaming. (thank the heaven above) I got up to go get his boo, aka:binky, and grabbed his blanky and went back in the bathroom to watch Addie. While holding Conner wrapped in a wet towel and holding his blanky, I decided to calm him some more and start singing whatever came to my head. Just watching him in the mirror get comforted and falling asleep was probably one of the most cherishing moments I have ever had.

The moments I have with my nieces and nephews makes me feel a glimpse to what it feels like to be a mother. I love them as if they were my own and just those little moments I have are good enough for me.

Earlier today, Siri and I took Adelyn and Connor to go see "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs". Siri and I were the only ones laughing through out the entire movie! Addie really liked it too of course, but we were just laughing at the adult humor in the movie. It was really cute and obviously funny! I think it was a lot better than the first two movies, but that is just my opinion. It was cute watching Connor dance on some of the parts, even though he wanted to be up and walking around.

Later tonight, Siri and I did not have anything much to do. But really, what can you do on a Monday night? So with Siri being husband-less and me being boyfriend-less, we decided to have a sister date night and go see "The Proposal". I will tell you this right now, it was one of the FUNNIEST movies I have ever seen! What made the movie even funnier was that Oscar Nunez from "The Office" was on it and he was pretty much the icing on the cake for the movie. I really liked it a lot and I would see it again!

Jon Schmidt

Alright, so I know that putting up a post of Jon Schmidt is a tad bit random, but I honestly have been constantly listening to a new song he just arranged for a new album coming out called "Bonus Tracks". Ever since I got an email of his new cd, I have stopped listening to "Love Story meets Viva La Vida". For most people that don't know what those songs are, Love Story was written by Taylor Swift and Viva La Vida was written by Coldplay and obviously he put them together! I LOVE this song and have been waiting impatiently for it. (And i promised Cameron I would send him a cd when it came out) Unfortunately, they were being sued I guess for the song, or maybe even a different one, but they are just working on finalizing licensing agreements. Anyway, since I have been showing nearly EVERYONE the new song and the music video for the past two months now, I decided just to post it up.

Happy Independance Day

For the 4Th of July, my cousins and aunt Trice came up to celebrate wonderful Independence Day with us. Earlier, we had a barbecue and went swimming for most of the morning and late in the afternoon. The water was perfect, as well was the weather. The rain from earlier didn't stop our fun. But when does it ever? Our family parties are pretty awesome I think.

After we went swimming, we all got ready and chatted or play Super Smash Bros till it was ready for everyone to go. Just to say, when you play Smash Bros longer than twenty minutes, you intend to get bored, so I went upstairs and took some pictures. Now I know there are a lot of pictures of me, but I promise you I am not conceited. :)

Well, after everyone finally got ready, we left to go wait for the fireworks to start. We went to Clearfield High. All we did was sit around and talk to everyone and watched the kids play. Addie, Elizabeth, Ryan and Tal ended up tackling me most of the time, but it was something to do till the fireworks, and because I am the best aunt ever of course!!

Mosquito bites on your feet are the WORSE!

This is a game for Connor. When he has his binky in, I get it with my teeth, and he takes it back with his. He thinks it is so much fun

This is not even half our family

Tony and I started getting bored, so I asked him if he wanted to play bloody knuckles, but instead, we played some slap game that he and Taylor play. We were hitting each other has hard as we could. It was so fun and funny.

Well finally the fireworks started!! My pictures do not look good at all cause my camera was not working so that I could change it to a "firework" scene, so I just did what I could. These are just temporary just till I can get the pictures off my cousins camera.

Then finally after all the fireworks were done, Clint, Taylor and I went to Beto's. Good thing Clint knew the guy that was helping us, cause he gave us fresh hot food! Well, and Clint tipped him before he even gave us the food too.
