Tyler's FIrst Mariners Game

Tyler and I getting our picture with the Moose!

We were lucky enough to go to the Mariners game with Grandma Diane. She was so excited to be a part of Tyler's first game experience. We were expecting to only be there for maybe the 4th inning, but Tyler did great, with the help of a few games on Grandma's phone...He chants Ichiro very well and got all caught up when one of the other guys on the other team broke his bat. Tyler watched every player to see if they would also break their bats too.

Sorry

I have done a horrible job keeping this blog updated. My brother and his girlfriend and daughter came into town the beginning of July and its been a whirlwind of things happening since. August is already proving to be busy in itself. I hope to keep the blog updated better though....

New Haircut

So my friend Chelsey is going to school at Gene Juarez and I volunteered myself when she said she needed a hair model to help her. She needed one person with long hair to layer and one person to let her cut their hair above their shoulders. I told her I would let her do my hair. So I went in and she did a FANTASTIC job on my hair. Thanks again!!!!

New Scanner!!!!!!

This is me in the hospital with spinal menongitis and my most awesome sister with red earmuffs pushing me in the stroller...So do you like my hair???

This is my most favorite picture of my sister and I!!!

By Request

I was asked to update our blogs because I post too much stuff on facebook...Its just too easy. These last four days have been interesting. On Friday Ty and I stayed home and when I took him to the dr he ended having strep. Well he shares everything and I now have it and I have been awake with small amounts of sleep since 2 am. I wish that I could sleep but my throat has started hurting. Lucky me!!!
On Saturday night one of my friends from my ward was talking to me on facebook and she told me she wanted to kidnap me so at 10:30 she picked me up. We were supposed to go get her daughter but her daughter ended up getting a ride, so we went to Shari's and we were there till 2 AM!!! We did not realize what time it was until the noise in the restraunt started getting louder. We decided to go and I finally checked my phone, I forgot that I put it on silent earlier in the day, and Karl had called three times and texted me once. When I called him he said he was almost ready to call the hospitals. I haven't done that in a long time and it was so nice.

Its been awhile

Wow I actually have a computer that works! Last week our slow computer died and yesterday our laptop stopped charging. Now Karl has fixed the computer and I am glad to be on the internet again.... I know that its not that long that I was without the internet, but you would be surprised how much you take advantage of it once you can't use it.

This weekend is going to be busy for us...... On Friday is the 5th anniversary of Karl and I being sealed in the Temple. On our wedding anniversary, we went to the Cheesecake factory (my mouth is still watering from the lovely cheesecake I ate) I had Red Velvet Cheesecake.....it is the best.

Some how I messed up the font....oh well! Anyway we went to the movies we saw Alice in Wonderland.... It was ok, but being with Karl by ourselves was nice. I have always felt guilty leaving Tyler but this time I didn't and it was nice.

My pooper dog Riley

He was there when I came home from my mission.
He always wanted a belly rub.
He loved to do tricks for treats.
He loved to be on anyones bed.
He loved all the kids who came over to my parents house.
I got to be with him last night.
I told him I loved him and he was loved by everyone.
At about 10:30 last night he closed his eyes for the last time.
Rest you eyes Riley, it will be ok.

New Calling

I have been so busy this last month. I have been learning what I need to know to be effective as the Young Womens Secretary. Its easy to say I have a new calling and get the idea of it but as I go along there are more things about serving in the church that I just though happened. I am so excited for what lay ahead for me and I am preparing my lesson for next week. I am calm now but I know I will get nervous later. I am still on the activities committee and so with both callings and my family and work, it keeps me mostly out of trouble. If I wasn't getting into trouble you would all be worrying!

Hey all

I love this picture...It was taken last year when we took an impromptu trip to Oregon to go see my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins. I thought that I was going to go crazy yesterday.....Ty was crabby and he wanted to say no to everything and then he would make up his mind about what he wanted. How fun would that be to say no to everything and then make up my mind?? Not so fun. This year I am joining in on the New Years Cliche and I am going to try to lose weight like I did before Ty was born..... Can someone turn off my urge to eat sweets? TOday I drank 80 oz of water!!!! Good girl...Then I made molasses cookies....Does anyone see a problem here???? I love to bake and its hard not to when Ty pulls a chair into the kitchen and asks me if he can help me. Have a great day everyone!!!!

New Year, New Post

I guess I didn't write on here for a long time because I didn't know what to say. My words that are in my head don't ever make it out of my mouth, because they are not the happy things that I usually feel. BUT today I am sad. There is more going on then I want to admit. There are tough things going on that I would like to know how I can help make it better. Sometimes there is nothing I can do... That makes it tougher.
