New Garden

We are having so much fun watering our little plants and watching them grow. We have peas as you can see growing, and tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, green yellow red peppers, and chives.
Here it is! Mike has worked so hard on this. He dug out all the bad dirt and rocks that was there and we put this new dirt 2 days ago. He built the arbor and even has irrigation put there for the hanging tomato plants that will be up there. This past week Owen and Mike have been outside having a great time working on the yard. Owen loves it!
Owen and his pipe.
Here he is in all his glory :) Dirt, grass, seeds, rocks and flowers. What more could you need to have fun?

Owen and Conner's Birthday Party

Yes this did happen a while ago but i'm catching up. Conner was kind enough to share his 10th birthday party with his little baby cousin turning 1. Thanks Conner! It was a great little party.

Happy Anniversary!

Well it's been 3 years since March 17th, 2007. For Cardston we had pretty great weather that day. It was windy but barely any snow on the ground. I watched the little slide show and video clip that Brent made for us today. It makes me cry every time. This year we went out for dinner on the day....with Owen but whatever I wasn't making dinner. Then last night we went to the Royal Theater and saw Bill Cosby. It was great! His act was all about family and marriage. He had a great come back for any kid that says "I didn't ask to be in this family. I didn't ask to be born!"
hahaha....yeah it's funny......anyway we had a great time.
I can't wait to spend the next 3 years with Mike. He is just perfect for me! I love you hunny.

Skype

Well I'm all signed up with Skype but only for talking. We have a PS3 camera and microphone attached to it. Mike and I are having a hard time finding a driver to download so we we can use it as a camera and not a microphone. But until we do, we can now talk on Skype for FREE!

Experiment

Well this past 6 months have been very interesting for me. I've made some pretty drastic changes to keep my family health and safe ie. having a chemical free home. Now my mom has done research on milk and the health benefits/hazards it has. Lets just say that the title of the movie clip she emailed everyone in my family was "Got Milk? Got Disease?" Pretty Harsh. After watching it most of my family thought"Hey why not? Lets just give it a try and go off it for 1 week." You would not believe the positive reactions that have happened to my family. Loosing weight was just a perk. So i'm 6 days now off dairy and truly it wasn't until last night that i was a little bit mad that i wouldn't put ranch on my salad. Surprisingly i've had a lot of fun buying healthy food and trying them out. like 100% natural peanut butter....i bought that....rice milk......i looked up on utube how to make hummus, and then i made it and ate it! Now i'm not saying that i'll never have dairy again but this has been a great lesson for me on how to eat better and becoming more aware of what i'm eating exactly. Thanks mom!

Going Home

Well we had a fantastic time is Calgary. We saw lots of family and enjoyed being together. Owen started teething his top teeth before we came and so he wasn't feeling well. It took him a couple days to really feel better about life. When the week was sadly over we got up early to catch the 7:30 flight. Everything was going really well with Owen. It wasn't until we were flying right over the gulf islands that things got really turbulent. Owen hugged me and didn't move for a long time. He then starts to stir and throw up on me....mostly my pants. We had given him some chips earlier and that must have come up a bit because he started reaching to the back of his throat trying to get something and..... you guessed it he made himself throw up again. This time it was mostly on Mike. Now we have the barf bags out and the flight attendant has brought warm towels to clean things up. This poor baby was NOT feeling well. Things are still bumpy and i'm hugging him trying to help him feel better, but it wasn't a hug he needed. He lifted his headup and barfed all over my shoulder and down the front of my shirt. Now he feels a lot better. At this point the smell of puke is getting to me lol. Oh MAN! It was sick! I look at Mike and dry heave a little and the look on his face was priceless. Thankfully there wasn't a chain reaction on the plane. I kept my cool. We are now landed and couldn't be happier to be home. it was quite a ride.
