Song of the week

Okay, I admit, I am a "song of the week" type of girl. I hear a song and I listen to it over and over for a week or longer. It gets in my head and I can not get sick of it. I have gone through many phases of this (as Dave can attest) and I love to blast the song in the car or where ever I am. My songs for right now are Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" and "Lucky" with Colbie Calliet. I have added them to our blog so I can listen to them (yes that is the real reason why they are here). I hope you all enjoy them too along with others I put on as well.

What is your "song of the day, week, month?" Any one else do this?

What's the point

Here is why I don't watch a lot of TV...

I get my hopes up all the time when I turn on the cable (direct TV) and see there are over 900 channels to choose from. THEN.... I search and search, how come all the movies are on channels that are "not purchased" and why do they list channels you haven't bought anyway... cruel and unusual punishment? How come there are over 20 exercise infomercials ("especially drop two dress sizes instantly") and a million music channels. The Spanish channels are also out of control. I cannot find a single thing that interests me besides the news (depressing) and my favorite the food channel which right now I cannot find...blast! I will look for it right now and tell you the STRANGE things that cable offers!



Carol Burnett infomercials

super bowl classics

Wimbledon prime time... now that could be interesting

Just cook this! Sam the cooking guy in Hong Kong

Pierrot Le Fou- french film with subtitles, no thanks I am not going back to Madam Burton's class

Cake Boss- I'll stop here for a moment

The golden girls- CLASSIC

Massachusetts to impose Satellite Tax- really who stops and says "oh that is exciting!"

Apologetics then and now- religion channel

LOTS OF SPANISH CHANNELS

5 test channels

10 to be announced channels

Run Fat Boy Run

Shaq and Cedric the Entertainer's all star Comedy Jam.. Dave might stop here if he were awake.

Women's college basketball...so exciting

Best D... poker show



Okay I am done. I'll watch late night with Letterman
WHERE IS THE FOOD NETWORK and the Food network challenges? I love those things.

P.S. I should just go to bed huh? Dave is sleeping because he gets to get up at 5:20 am and drive to Logan, poor kid. What did he sign up for? (:

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING... including the weather!

Natalie and Trent are now married! They met 6 years ago, the actual week that Dave and I were married. They have been through a lot together and are now married for time and eternity. I am so thrilled for my sister. We had a FABULOUS day. The weather was suppose to be "wet, raining all day, with scattered thunderstorms." I am thankful to report that the weather man were only partially right about the rain and thunderstorms, it came and went between the luncheon and reception only lasted for 1 or 2 hours! And it was overcast during all the pictures at temple (perfect for photos), and blue sky (though a little cold) at the reception. We were nervous towards the end of the reception and prepared ourselves for a wet cleanup (it was an outdoor wedding), however we had beautiful clear skies until 1:30 AM (yes we were up until then, though part of it was relaxing for a moment in the hot tub :).

Here are photos of the beginning of the day, I am posting some of my favorites, they aren't all the picturesque poses, I will leave that up to the photographer. Pictures of the reception will come later...

My cousin Whitney and I

I love the classic child pictures. HA!

Such a cutie!

The Miner Family

All the siblings, this picture makes me so happy! And a bit teary, I love my sibs more and more each day.

The Young sisters went all over the valley to Target stores to get us prepared for rain. Luckily we didn't need the umbrellas, but they made for cute pictures!

Being goofy, I told them to jump and this is what happened.. yes they are a bit giddy as they should be.

This is Franny, our "adopted" sister, she and Natalie have been best friends since Junior High. She basically lived at our house and we LOVE her! I am so glad you came Franny. I will email you lots more cute pictures. I love this moment- you being the umbrella holder!

Such a fun morning!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

So as much as we have liked having a mild June so far, I am ready for warm sunny weather. I was ready to start my tan a few weeks ago. I wouldn't mind so much, except Saturday is my sister's wedding day! We need to have some good weather for her. It is an outdoor wedding so we REALLY need dry weather. Lets hope for the best! I am excited to be with my family all day and enjoy celebrating with Natalie!

The Favorite Meal

"HOT DOG"

A WEEK OF MISHAPS

( Anna's black eye- and her concentration tongue which has become a regular around here)

SUNDAY~ Wrong church building, we missed a lot of sacrament meeting. Wrong time on my Dad's 60th birthday party, we were LATE! Anna was grumpy pants and wouldn't say hi to anyone, occasionally crying for no apparent reason, maybe she knew what the week to come would bring.

MONDAY~ Anna hit her mouth against the table and knocked her gums so they bled... a lot.

TUESDAY~ Took Mia on a walk and she got off her leash and ran into the neighbor's yard scaring an older lady. Anna got a huge diaper rash.

WEDNESDAY~ Anna took a tumble at the park and got a black eye and Dave got a flat tire on his way home from work.

THURSDAY~ Heidi went to pick up Anna and scratched her face and washed her cell phone is the WASHING MACHINE! AHHHH!!

FRIDAY~ Has just begun, let's hope the mishaps ended the the big one yesterday!

(I started packing for the weekend and this is what I turned around to see- like father like daughter)

SO HAPPY!

(A view from my front yard- Mount Olympus)

After getting awoken a bit earlier than I thought and feeling a bit exhausted (though not as much as my cute husband who has to get up at unearthly hours to make an hour commute everyday) I have found this day to be so much better than anticipated! I am grateful for so many things right now and thought I would make a quick list.

* I just got AMAZING news from two friends:

- one who has been trying to conceive for over 2.5 years (?) and is PREGNANT!

* It's only 9:00 and the day has already been great!

What else is in store for today???
