26 things that I am usually embarrassed by, but today thought I would share

In honor of my 26th birthday…

1. I once was a coordinated teenager who could play sports, I am no longer that person

2. I have been in so many car accidents it has made me a paranoid driver

3. Most of you probably knew number 2, but did you know that I’m SO paranoid I sometimes memorize license plates of cars that I’m sure will hit me and then drive off without stopping? I figure if I have their license plate number memorized, the police can find them and match the damages on our cars… for example.. the other day I pulled into an empty space at Wal-Mart. The man in the space in front of mine was packing up his car. I was sure that since he didn’t see me pull in, once he got in his car to drive away, he would pull forward through the space and hit me. I memorized his license plate. He did not hit me (as most of you probably guessed). I also did not need to memorize his license plate because it was a neighbor of mine, I’m sure I could have found him easily.

4. I’m paranoid, but only about certain things (#2 and 3 for example)

5. I am paranoid my house will be broken into and I wont be able to call the police because the burglar will hear me and hunt me down so I have set up texting codes with a neighbor. She can call the police for me.

6. I wish my hair was super long again

7. I love Disney channel movies and shows. Miley and I used to have a good relationship (back when she was normal)

8. I would go to Disneyland over any amusement park anywhere

9. This year was my first time getting a flu shot (that I’m aware of, I probably got them as a kid). Oh and if you love Tyler and want to spend lots of fun, close proximity, time with him this winter you’ll get one too!

10. The other day I was sure I smelled fish in my friends ice.

11. I’m the worst person to ask for a book, movie, or TV show recommendations (mostly because I like the Disney channel)

12. The longest I’ve ever had a job was 3 years

13. I am a believer in retail therapy, and I think my insurance should cover it

14. I’m NOT paranoid when it comes to my child.

15. This last year was the first year I actually attempted to make food that had more then 3 ingredients (and most of them were successful)

16. When I was young I own a pair of leggings that were black with ghosts and I’m pretty sure some with pumpkins (nowadays they’d be in style)

17. My kids bowed legged walk makes me laugh

18. I’ve picked up a hitch hiker (but it was completely against my will and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t driving).

19. I love making to-do lists and (despite what some people say) they work wonders for me

20. When I find a show I like I overdose on it and will watch whole seasons in a matter of days

21. I didn’t love reading until after I was married

22. The furthest I’ve ever run is 7 miles

23. I love meeting new people (but only if I am with someone else, because if I am alone I apparently have some sort of new people anxiety)

24. I have the WORST memory there ever was (it’s really embarrassing at times)

25. I actually enjoy hospital stays. When I had Sawyer I loved it. I figured if I was ever in a hospital for a bad reason I’d learn to hate them, but I rather enjoyed Tyler’s stay (granted it was a super nice place)

26. I could eat Lo-Mein (which I always thought was chow mein) all day and night

California In August

 

Last month Sawyer and I took a quick trip to visit my family in CA. I already told you how awesome the flights were (and really they weren’t so bad). But now to tell you a little about the trip… using pictures.

Sawyer was still on Utah time (which I expected) so he would wake up every morning at 5:30. He wasn’t thrilled with the idea of being cooped up in a room, so this DVD player saved the day (Thanks Williams family!)

Sawyer called home every chance he got.

        

We had to do some sharing… Sawyer LOVES sharing. Can’t you tell?

Future pianist… He INSISTED on sitting on the stool to play.

He really can be an excellent share..r…

We took naps, it was hot there (which is why this is the only outfit he ever wore)

We hung out with our super cool cousins.

Recently Cassie told me that she had still yet to see one of Sawyers tantrums. I realized most people probably haven’t seen one. It’s kinda funny to watch really. Here’s a little scene by scene on how it goes.

This cat is the last of my parents animals. He is great with the kids.

Grace is the best! She took care of Sawyer for me most of the time.

Sawyer and Meme hung out

Here’s what I will look like in 30 years and in 60 years.

Sawyer loves his grandpa.

We had a really good time visiting and playing. I forget how hot the heat is there and really I would have been fine just laying on beach all day in heat like that. Poor Sawyer is no where near getting used to it though. We missed our dad and were happy to come home to him

It’s a girl!

It’s been 15 months and I have just been waiting for this to happen…

Sawyer has finally picked a toy he loves and wants to carry around with him. It’s darling! It’s precious! It’s a little girl baby doll…. We call her baby. He sits with her, walks with her, face plants because he’s too busy holding her with both hands. He gives her kisses and tries to put diapers on her. I tried to switch her out for a teddy bear, but that didn’t work. He just wanted baby. Seriously, the cutest thing ever. I don’t really even care that he loves a doll. I told Tyler I’d even bring the thing to church if it makes him happy and distracts him long enough to listen.

Sawyer had a bath today and first thing he did was throw baby in, luckily there wasn’t water in the tub yet.

Check out this cute picture of them both after the bath, he obviously missed her.

Sorry to everyone who is just dying for us to have another one of the worlds cutest children, this isn’t an announcement for that. And to put all your minds at rest, you wont be seeing that announcement for awhile My husband did get Leukemia and all…
