Happy 4th of July

I didn't take too many pictures unfortunately even though I had my camera with me the whole weekend. Let me just break down the weekend. July 3rd, Friday we went to SLC and saw Parker Roylance come out of the temple with his new bride Kelsie. It was fun to see family and get to chat for alittle while. We walked around temple square and Jon gave some contacts to the missionaries. We went to Happy Sumo which we have been hoping to try for quite some time. It was pretty good, I thought it was over priced since normally we pay $4 less per sushi roll. But the rolls were good and the atmosphere was nice. We then ran over to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and got some delicious treats which ended up being too rich for me to finish Jon was happy to help. Amazing how weaning your body off sugar makes you realize how sugary things are. Anyway we had our neighbors over for some quick steaks and corn on the cob. Then on the 4th Jon put up flags at 6 am with the young men. Jon came back and asked if wanted to go get breakfast at the Farr West park. We went and had pancakes, eggs, and ham steaks. I forgot how much I enjoy a good pancake. Then we watched a little parade and saw our neices Oakley & Maggie on a preschool float, funny girls. Then we had to run home because Maddie had peed all over my pants. Ran home gave her a bath and then her & Jon took a nap while I did my lock checks in the facility. We were going to get navajo tacos but they had quit serving them by the time we got out there. So we went to Jumbo Burger, I was skeptical but enjoyed a chicken cordon bleu sandwich. Then we visited with Jon's dad and wife, and decided to get some greek food that they were serving out at this park. Ate some kabobs and yummy buttery pita bread. Jon ran into a family from his mission. I should have gotten a picture with them but they invited us to their home, they were a hilarious couple. The danish lady told me she had gained 20 lbs from eating pizza and hamburger. I just laughed. She also said she was designer, and that she made blessing and baptismal dresses. I told her she'd have to show me. Anyway that was about all of our weekend. Full of food and fun. We've gotten plane tickets to go home at the end of July and I won't lie I'm counting down the days.

Taking the Plunge...

I did it. I decided to get a personal trainer. Today was my first day and it was crazy. My body was so sweaty and weak. It will be good to be strong again and build up my knee. Its been giving me problems lately. I decided this awhile ago because I am still in contract for Golds Gym and I try to go often I just don't really know what to do at the gym when I'm there. Now I have a much better idea and he's making me food journal. This stuff is so interesting to me. My trainer has been Mr. Utah TWICE, he's over 50 yrs old, and has trained the last two Miss Utahs. I'm posting a picture of him so you can laugh. He's a really nice soft spoken guy though, maybe a little rough on the language. I found out today that he has a son on a mission from his first marriage and his second wife passed away from cancer a year ago. He said young girls my age change fast, I told him he's got his work cut out for him, but I'm excited to see what happens. He's got me hooked on whey protien shakes. Anyone that wants any tips for the gym let me know or eating healthy, I'll try to share my knowledge through this expirence.

Meet Ted my 50 some year old trainer...

JUNE 8th 2009

Sad I guess Jon and I didn't take a picture together, but this is what we did on our anniversary. We worked, were parents, and thankfully we were able to go out for dinner at one of our favorite Sushi restaurants Windys Sukiyaki (thanks Wendy for the gift cert.). Maddie's teething now has 4 teeth. She's so whinny, don't get me wrong I love her to death I'm just waiting for all these teeth to come in. It was a good night though and we did go to dinner at a fun restaurant on Saturday. To Jon, thanks for putting up with me the last two, three years I guess. I love you and am grateful to have married my best friend. Oh yeah thanks for helping make such a cute baby.

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.
