Happy happy joy joy

So yesterday while cleaning my house, I found (drumroll please).....MY CAMERA! Hooray. We're happy to have it back, Maddie looks different everyday well slightly. I'm still hoping to get a big fancy one, but this will give me more time to save up for it. Also this morning as we were mourning the loss of our Bumbo chair, I had borrowed it from my neighbor but she is moving out today and wanted it back, I found one on KSL and for half the price that they cost at Walmart. We were over joyed to find out they still had it and as I type Jon is picking it up. If you don't know what the Bumbo chair is, you should find out. Maddie sits in it so well when she's outside, when she's eating, and occasionally when we don't feel like holding her we just sit her down. We had friends over last night for BBQ food, yum. I love anything grilled. We dug out our go anywhere Webber gas grill that we got as a wedding present almost 2 years ago (on Monday) and it worked really well considering the windy weather. Its been a good weekend and my house is half clean. I need to finish cleaning and setting up the bedrooms.

Rollin, rollin, rollin

This was just captured during my work shift, I kept hearing her cry and this is what I found. She's in the office play room, convenient huh? She has been rolling like a crazy and grunting. Sorry about my voice in these videos, wish I could silence them now. I also apologize about the kink now created in your neck. Still have no camera, I've been using my cell phone thats why these are far from quality. I think Maddie's teething again she's been so grumpy. Wait yes I have just confirmed this, one on top to the far right? Does the mean she'll have a huge gap? That's her 3rd tooth and she's just 7 mo, gotta wean this kid soon!

We went to Rexburg this last weekend. It was fun to stay with Destry, play with Katy, and visit Whitney. It was also fun to see Maddie interact with Destry's little boy, she's usually the youngest one so everyone picks on her. This time it was Maddie reaching for Hinder's poor eyes. He's a doll. Everything was fun till Jon messed up his elbow, cut a gash in it even the tendon was visible. He's in the process of healing, but still able to work thank goodness. My love hate relationship with his hobby of bmx.

Pictures, well 2 anyway...

Yay, I emailed some pictures from my phone to my email. I still can't find my camera, but this will give you an idea of how much Maddie has grown. Maddie loves being outside and we're enjoying our big yard. Jon and I (after much persuasion) will go out and pepper or play catch. We recently got a new TV and are enjoying being able to SEE our TV. I interviewed a potential new onsite manager today and she lived in Kentucky so Kelly (one of the other managers) and I did the interview over skype webcam except we couldn't see them the whole time. The interview went good and got funny when she said she had relatives in Othello. Apparently she is related to Nick Anderson and Sara Roylance, her name is Natalie Anderson Call. Anyway it will be interesting as our regional manager starts this interviewing process. Enjoy the photos more to come :) hopefully soon if I can find the darn camera.

Birthday weekend

I had a good birthday. Thank you to those who remembered, and those that didn't its not to late to call and say you love me anyway. So on Saturday I woke up and said mmm...Ihop sounds good. We went to Ihop and got funny animal balloons, I got a snail and Jon got a elk. We went to the mall and didn't buy anything. Then we went home and cleaned. We met cousin Amanda, Beau, Ashley, good friend Heidi, Brad, and their little Tyson at Tepanyakis. We got the same chef we had last year for my birthday...funny. The show was ok but the food tasted amazing. We came back to our apartment and had funfetti cupcakes and rootbeer milkshakes. I even made homemade rootbeer for the first time. Its very easy try it out. I had alot of good birthday gifts including a AE giftcard from Mom, yummy VS lotion from my neighbor, movie giftcard from Amanda, my favorite treats from Ashley, and a Windy Sukiyaki gift cert. from Wendy. I received a very nice email from my mother in law that made me happy. Not a bad birthday when I wasn't expecting gifts at all. You know what it felt like turning 22, nothing. I pondered this on my birthday, is every birthday after you turn 21 going to feel like this? I was happy to be 21 because I was considered an adult. Oh well guess that's just what happens. We're getting a new couple next month, I'm alittle scared of the change. I finally adapt to my surroundings and bam! Then I hear my other neighbor say she's thinking they might be looking for a house soon. It will be weird to be the manager with the most experience. I'm still learning this stuff. Speaking of work its going good, I just wish I didn't have to learn from so many mistakes. Maddie is growing like crazy. Jon laughs when I feed her because she's hanging off of my lap now. She's got two teeth and she knows how to use them. Other than biting the spoon she'll bite fingers, hands, shoulders, arms, etc. She is going through the phase where they want to grab everything. I can no longer pick up food or eat while I have her in my arms. She keeps us busy and laughing. She is known at the gym as the cute baby with dimples or the beautiful baby or they actually know her by name. People that come into the office have actually asked to hold her, freaks me out. Ghetto Roy. She really is a social butterfly and giggles at anyone that gives her attention. I wish I could find my camera, I really have no idea where it could be. I have one on my new phone which takes decent pictures for a phone but I don't know how to get them to the computer without buying a special USB cord. When I find a camera or give in and purchase a new one I will post lots of pictures. Sorry this blog is so boring. Maybe when we visit Rexburg or home I will have more exciting things to write about. Which will be coming up soon. I need to get out of this state for bit. Everyone else needs to keep blogging, I do read them. If you don't blog start one.

Time to Blog

So much has happened in the last three weeks that I have been too busy to blog. So this will be short and sweet. Basically I got a JOB!! Hoorah, I get to work from home! Well when I started the training week Maddie got sick, really sick, so sick that I slept with her in our recliner and took into the doctor the next morning. They said she was too happy to be sick, but thought she had RSV which initially came back negative. The next day I missed the nurses call, but then the doctor called stating she needed to talk to me. Well the overnight tests came back positive for RSV and influenza 3. Yeah it was awful, she was coughing so hard she was throwing up. I blame it on the nasty Gold's Gymn Nursery. We weren't sick, but sure caught it fast. I have come to know the difference in a bad cold, which I had only weeks before and a nasty aggressive viral infection. Maddie's doing much better now, thank goodness. My mom came down to visit because she's wonder woman always there to save the day. She and my sweet sisters cleaned my neglected apartment and packed our junk. I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't had there help. We're mostly moved in now and hopefully with a free Saturday coming I'll be able to catch up. Just thought I'd post some pictures these are actually from online websites but they're pretty accurate.

GOODBYE COLONIAL COURT


HELLO AA ALPINE STORAGE

You may be laughing but we did sort of upgrade, we have two bedrooms now, a storage unit, tile, no more white carpet (which whoever created should be burned) and a lawn. Its been really fun getting to know the other girls and their daughters. We've truly been blessed, thank you for all your prayers. Until I have more time. I have some wonderful Costco finds that I need to blog about.
