Memorial Day

On Saturday I wanted to go somewhere cool to see if I could get some good shots so we headed up to the Salt Lake Cemetary only to remember that it was Memorial Weekend when we got there. There were people and flowers everywhere.

Here is President Grants Grave:


Here is President Taylors Grave:


So that inspired us to go visit the graves of our grandparents. Here are some pics of mine and Aaron's Progenitors







Acelin had passed out by this time:


Hope you all had a good Memorial Day!

Blogs

It's amazing who you can find just surfing people's blogs and the people they have links on their page to. Just from reading a comment posted on Amanda's blog I was able to link through 3 other blogs and found my friend Missy that lived a couple doors down from me growing up that I haven't seen or talked to in probably 10 years. It's a crazy, crazy world!!!! Sooo if any of you have any long lost relatives or friends you want to find I recommend cruising blogs! There was a ton more people I wanted to link too but I have a limited attention span for cruising the net.

Pics

So as most everyone knows Aaron's family are all aspiring photographers...me somewhat included. So I thought I would share some of the test photo's I have taken just for fun in practicing my mad skills.

Garden Update

Not that any of you care but here is the update of my garden.
I have planted one pumpkin, one watermelon, regular peas, snow peas, beans, carrots, lettuce. I still need to plant cantalope which I apparently have to start indoors first, corn which I can't do until next month, and potatoes (I still have to go get the 'eyes' to plant). Here is what it looks like so far, which isn't much.
You can't really see but it is staked out with the rows.

Hobbits

So quite a while ago my friend Amanda dubbed my feet as 'Hobbit' feet and somehow it has stuck with everyone that has heard this. So as a tribute to Hobbit's around the world I give you this....

and this...


Now for those of you whom have never seen Lord of the Rings, here is what hobbit feet actually look like...


I personally see no resemblance. As for you, I will let you decide.

And just for fun Here is a picture of me practicing my aperture on Aaron's feet...

Working Mothers

I don't know how women have kids and work full time! This week I have had to go down to work everyday because 1/2 of our agents and my manager went on their bonus trip to Greece & Turkey and some other places along the coast in Europe and so I've been somewhat holding down the fort. It has made it hard to get any extra stuff done (like housework, run errands, etc...etc...). I have been taking my kid with me on the days I don't normally work so that has been interesting also. I figured out that if I just keep snacks readily available then it's not so bad. Plus I have some awesome co workers that love to take her and play with her for a while so that helps also. It does make me grateful that my work was so willing to be flexible with my schedule when I had my kid. I really do have the best boss in the whole entire universe.

Favorite Things

Brandi asked me when I started this blog if I was just going to brag about my child like everyone else's blog. Basically the answer is yes!


Below are a few of the kids favorite things :
1 - Playing on the computer (we only let her play on an old one of course!). She managed to change the screen saver on it yesterday, the genius!

2 - Eating!!! Especially if it involves dumping things all over the ground & getting it all over her face.

3 - Taking naps with Dad.

4 - Watching Sesame Street. A little young I know but she is mesmerized by it whenever I turn it on.

















5 - Playing with the tupperware and in general making a mess.
