Dr. 90210

Today as we are waiting for the BYU game to start I'm flipping channels and get sucked in to Dr. 90210 which is quite possibly the most pathetic show on TV. So in the five minutes I watched, this girls tells why she is getting plastic surgery done. And let me tell you my assumption was right...she was an idiot.

"I found out my husband was leaving me and our two kids for his mistress so I told him that if he was going to turn my life upside down that I got a new car and a tummy tuck."

UH...seriously?!? A new car and a tummy tuck. If my husband was leaving me for his mistress I can promise you that is all he'd be leaving with. A new car and a tummy tuck would not even put a dent into the amount I would expect. I'd make sure I at least got a lifetime supply of botox injections out of him too. :)

Only Kidding.

Bryan Jr.

As many of you know I didn't marry the most social man in the world. He's gotten tons better but we still constantly joke about it. That being said today when I'm leaving the house to go to a picnic with a bunch of girls from our church ward he says to Caden, "Buddy, don't make too many friends. We can't have you being too social."

So we go to the picnic and Caden will not smile at anyone. Normally that is all the kid will do. He just stares at everything that is going on around him. Then he gets fussy and just wants held and doesn't want anyone else around him.

The second we get home he gets this huge smile on his face and starts cooing and being all cute.

I'm pretty sure on the way home, from the backseat I heard a little voice say, "Dad, I would have made you proud." Just ridiculous.

Worried.

I'm pretty positive I am losing my mind to either (a) early on-set Alzhiemers Disease, or (b) some other brain disfunction.

I'm going to have to go with Alzhiemers since unfortunately it runs on both sides of my family. I'm pretty much doomed to relive the Notebook minus the whole laying in the street watching the lights change, and a notebook with our love story written in it. I have no, I repeat no, ability to recall things. Zero. I'm talking simple words just disappear from my mind. I sit there looking like an idiot trying to remember what I was going to say. My jokes are all super lame now because half way through the joke I forget the punch line.

...it's a good thing I did the Alzhiemer's walk in highschool because I'm going to be the next to need medical assistance. I just pray Bryan puts me in a nice home.

Love the White Pants

Thank you Bry for doing the pictures, for looking so good in your white pants, and for giving me a son cute enough to steal your glory in his own white pants. :)

Things I Never Thought I'd Say & Then Some

1. I LIKE COOKING.

Never, ever in a million years did I think those words would come out of my mouth, but here I am saying it; I like cooking. Being at home is great. Now that I actually have time to experiment and try new things cooking isn't half bad. Yes, this statement comes after two nights of cooking success, but hopefully even after cooking failure I will continue to enjoy it.

2. The word "poo" no longer makes me cringe.

Back in the King Henry days my roommates and all of our guy friends said this word just because it bothered me so much. I'm not sure why, but it was just one of those words that stung my ears. Simply put, it was major pet peeve of mine. They all harassed me saying, "What are you doing to do when you have a baby? Say 'Hey kid you crapped your pants?'" And they were right: Since having a child this word has become more acceptable. I never thought I'd say that. However, I still passionately despise the word poop. (I could barely even bring myself to type that.)

3. KBYU saved my day.

I am so sick of watching worthless TV while I feed Caden. All the talk shows where people give their opinions that I couldn't disagree with more are driving me crazy. And so I have found a new love in KBYU and the devotionals of 1989. :)

4. I am scared of social events that could put me on display.
It's true, Bryan has changed me. :) Sadly, back in high school I thrieved on being the center of attention...loved the spot light. Now I would much rather stay home or spend time with my closest friends. Obviously there are exceptions to this rule, but in general it's true. Bry has this reception thing for law school on Thursday and I'm actually really nervous to go.

Which leads me to my last thing. I always wanted this but now it's more important to me than ever.

5. The one really materialistic thing that I want most is a nice, large home. Because I want a large family, and because we love being at home this is what I want most. I want a huge family room and kitchen; I want a big yard; Oh and I really want a big play room for all the kids toys, that's decorated really cute. Maybe I'm unrealistic but for now I can dream!

Obedience Training

Caden decided he wanted to start rolling this morning. He was so funny: At first he was startled and then he was so proud of himself. With the first video, we are still working on "excuse me". :)

Blessing Eternal

We finally blessed Caden last Sunday. Bryan gave Caden a beautiful blessing that of course left me in tears. I feel so blessed to be a mother to this perfect little boy, to be married to a man I adore, to be an eternal family, and to have been surrounded by our families for this special day. Caden was such a cutie in his blessing outfit. I thought the little hat was adorable but Bry wasn't about to let him wear it. He was so good for his blessing, but after that he'd had it! You can see in about all the pictures that he wasn't very happy with us. I was kind of overwhelmed by the amount of people that truly love and care about our little boy's happiness. We are so lucky to be surrounded by such good examples of wonderful parents. After his blessing we all went up to Canyon View Park and had a picnic to celebrate. Bryan's old roommate and one of our closest friends. Matt, and his cute wife, Erin, were able to be there! It was so fun to have them around! My cousin Brenda had a little boy about 3 months before me; We were laughing at the fact that they can play inside together because they have the same WHITE complexion.
When the day was done and I was rocking Caden I couldn't help but be so full of gratitude to our Heavenly Father who truly does know us and love us. After two years of watching other couples bless their own beautiful babies and wishing so desperately for the opportunity to experience that, it was finally here; It was so worth the wait. We love this little boy more than we can put into words and feel so eternally blessed to be his parents.

Thank you so much to everyone that came so far to be there to share this day with us!
