clean car

When miracles happen... you take a picture!

Yesterday MIKE WASHED MY CAR!!!!

Mike details cars, and he's pretty darn good at it! You would think I would always have a clean car, but no. My car is never really a priority. I love having a clean car--ask any of my old roommates! :) So today I am a happy girl.

Thanks MIKE!

Happy Easter!

Easter was great! Here are some pictures of the day.

Nine Years Ago Today!!!!

Funny how turning 30 was fine, but the fact I left on my mission 9 years ago makes me feel old-Go figure!!!

I LOVED my mission! Sure- I wasn't perfect, I even made some really dumb mistakes but all in all it was one of greatest experiences ever! I was able to learn and grow so much, teach amazing people about the gospel. Mostly--- I cherish my mission family. I have kept in touch with so many of them and to this day they bless my life more than they know.

Happy Anniversary to my MTC district!

Take me to the Sun... or the Rain

So Mike's Uncle Ken got married this weekend. We decided last minuet to head down to Mesquite and see Mike's Mom and Grandma. When we were putting together this quick get a way, I had daydreams of WARM weather and me---POOL SIDE.



Ok-I swear the Oregoners brought it with them.

It was a super quick trip, we drove down on Friday and came back after the wedding on Saturday.

On Friday we went to the Clark County Fair. Mike's brother Rhan has a good friend who lives in Clark County-so we met up with her and had a great time. We saw animals, drank Texas Twister, ate yummy BBQ (the real stuff), watched a dance show and Mike played some super cool carnival game.

Oh and Mike attempted to ride a bull!

Helpful lil Memi... :)

This is Mike btw. This morning after I showered and got dressed, I left my socks, shoes, hat, and sweatshirt off. After about 10 min or so, Memphis decides that I need to finish getting dressed. She first brings my socks and tries putting them on my feet. After I help her get them on correct, she grabs my shoes and does the same thing. I think she's satisfied with that but no. She grabs my hat and puts it on my head. Yet still not satisfied, she decides it's too cold for just a t-shirt and hands my sweatshirt to me and started clapping.

She is always doing things like that. She'll grab Damien's binky when it falls and put it back in his mouth (when we're looking, otherwise she'll stick it in her mouth and hide). Memi will also put dirty diapers in the trash, tell us when she's stinky, and try to help change diapers. She is so much fun to be around and very loving to both Melissa and I as well as her little brother.

Our First Stitches

Memphis got a little too excited today when it was time to go "bye bye" and ran to the door only to trip and hit her had on the door hinge. Mike called me in a panic, I honestly was thinking it can't be that bad. When I got home I was very wrong. The gash was HUGE. So we rushed to the insta care and got her all stitched up. She was NOT a fan... but with in a few minuets she was back to her normal self.

memi sings!

So for a while now Memphis has been "singing". During church she opens the hymn book and belts out during the prelude music. She makes us laugh. She sat at the piano for a good 10 minuets singing, but we only caught a few seconds of the actual singing. You get the idea. :)

Super Bowl Sunday Fun

Well Mike and I are in Oregon again... we wanted to fly one last time before we have to start paying for Memphis. THAT is just three short months away. However, we do have one more family va-ca planned in March. We will be going to Nauvoo with Brett, Marie and their three kids. Like I said, taking advantage for free flying for the kiddos. Ok, so we're in Oregon and today we had a great time watching the super bowl, eating lots and lots of good food and just hanging out, enjoying each others company. Naturally my one request is the never ending DR Pepper! :)
