My Little Steam Roller!

I folded laundry today but hadn't got it put away yet. Well and still hadn't. I was searching for coupons and look at Pj and this is what I found.


yep he rolled thru all of my laundry. Ok well just the towels but I think he has them all unfolded for me.

Ok well not quite but he will have by the end of this blog!


Notice how he's mastered rolling in every direction! And look at the oops I got caught face. Ok not really more like hahaha mommy now you have to refold them all!

Oh and you see where he was. He was sitting up in the pillow not 5 min before this pic. Baby proofing here we come! Next step crawling! AHHHHH!

2 of 2 Look what I can Do!

Ok so how he gets to here is he basically does a slow face plant. Then he starts to roll.


and roll

and roll

and here he is sitting again today.

To bad it doesn't show his age I figured out how to do this on the camera. Not sure why it doesn't go to the computer. Oh well . He is 5 months and like 30 days or something like that. Hope you all enjoy!

1 of 2Look What I Can Do!

This morning I put him in this pillow to eat so I could get me some bfast. He was just chillin. I thought it was super cute. And yes I was to lazy to snap his shirt on so he pulled it up to show off his belly!

Tada I can sit up on my own
The pillow is there for safety. Kinda like and acrobat net!


Look Mom no hands!

Opps looks like I will have to do one more post to get all the pics in sorry.

More Pics!

We took these pics the other night after I give pj a bath. Well after that video that I posted before. The top one is my favorite. And the bottom one is just one that is actually of me and pj. That doesn't happen to much cause Im the one taking the pics all the time.

Ok now for the updates for the week. I have been keeping my self busy this week. I've been looking for coupons and what not to help save money. So far I haven't found alot but it is a ton of fun. So if you find any good coupons that you won't use let me know I would love to get them. Did you know people buy coupons on ebay. That is so crazy. Im into finding the free ones. So yes I will be the crazy coupon lady and I will be proud of it if I can save any money at all. Oh wait I already have I have coupons on diapers hehehe. Oh and I found a really great Dr. Martens sale. Well its clearance items but they have some really cute shoes. My mom wants me to get flame ones for Jordan heheeh!

Pj is growing like a weed. He is 17 lbs I think. We had to move his jumper up to level three. Not cause he is tall so much but cause his weight pulls him down. He is sleeping thru the night for the most part. Except I have been changing his diet a bit so he woke up at 2 am last night wanting food. I have been feeding him banana's and oatmeal in the morning and veggies with oatmeal at night. The oatmeal makes it thicker and its less messy. He doesn't really like the thickness so much he kinda pulls a face. But he always wants more so he will get use to it I am sure. I learned that bananas make his poop grey (tmi!) He is now sitting up by him self. NOt for a very long time and I put the boppy around him so if he falls it doesnt hurt. He is such a dare devil. When he is sitting on my lap he likes to rock back and forth and he goes back pretty far. That was probably a good singing sound from me on sunday when he was doing it. Any way pics of sitting up to come. They are on the computer but I don't have time to download them. Gotta hurry to get a shower in before pj wakes up.

Jordan and I are great. Not much to report there. Sorry Im boring I know! hehehe

Bath Time

I sleep jus tlike mommy!

This is how I tend to sleep at night to. Only he sometimes rolls all the way over and cries for mommy to roll him over!

and this one is from our walk yesterday! LOTS of fun!

It's a JUNGLE out there!

These are my pumpkin plants that have taken over out back yard. Some where in there is Jordans pepper plants, and they have peppers on them!

I can't believe how big some of the leaves are. Bigger than my foot!

And the tomato's out grew the posts! :0

Jordans flowers are getting taller too. When will the back ones blossom?

Im pretty proud of our little area it looks so much better than last year at this time! although I have to admit this wasnt' a pic from the end of july last year. I think we put the fence up a little later than tha.

Mom look at my bracelet

I give pj his teething ring to play with yesterday and this is where it ended up. He wore it most of the day.

He here he is wonders what strange things his mommy is doing?

He is getting sooooo big. I weighed him yesterday and he weighed 17lbs. Then of course Jordan had to do it and he weighed 16.8 or something like that. Either way he is getting so big. He is now in a size three diaper. They are a bit big but at least we aren't getting leaks. He now likes to sleep on his tummy. I went in to check on him last night and he was fast asleep on his belly. He says "dadadadada" But I don't think he really knows what it means yet. I think he is just talking. He LOVEs to stand up now. We thought he would never do it cause he always just bent his knees. He can sit up on his own now for like 20 sec. He has out grown his denim overalls. :( It makes me a bit sad cause they were so cute. I saw some in old navy that were soooooo cute but they were size 6-12 months and definatly wouldn't fit him right now. Plus we were shopping for me any way. Oh and Sara gave him a binkie yesterday that smells like vanilla. He likes to play with it but not so much suck on it like it suppose to be used. I think the nipple part is to small. Pj is a little chatter box. He loves to just babble on and on all day. He was laughing pretty hard at us monday night when we got home from the movie. I couldn't believe he was still awake at 9:30 and was happy. Thanks Uncle Derek you are an awesome baby sitter and I told Jordan you would have to come over more often if you make our kid so happy. Thanks Aunt Kara too. She also baby sat for us. She left sometime though to go up to Ogden to watch the Dark Knight with some friends. Thank you both. I was a little worried he wouldn't go to sleep. But shortly after he got a bit tired we gave him a 4 oz bottle and he was out before he even finished it. (not normal for this boy, he eats everything we give him and wants more)

Jordan and I went to see The Dark Knight. It was good. I really liked the Joker. Heath Ledger did a fantastic job. Im sad there won't be another with him in it. So then of course I had to watch Batman Begins yesterday morning. That one was good also but I liked The Dark Knight better. Even though when I thought it was over I was relieved because I had to pee really bad. To my suprise it wasn't. I watched The Skeleton Key monday morning. The girls were watching it at work and I didn't get to finish it. I know that movie is from 2005, but I was just getting off my mission and wasn't to interested in movies. And I think the first movie I watched proved to me that I didn't really want to watch movies. (Napolean Dynamite) Say what you will but I think that it was one of the dumbest movies ever made. However I did like the little dance part, but not for months after when PCS had a talent show and a few girls performed the dance. Any way, I really liked that movie Skeleton key. Everyone says how much thy hate the ending but I really liked the ending. However I did feel a little evil watching it. Its about hoodoo. (CREEPY)

I went shopping! Finally, I am no longer wearing maternity clothes. And its about time cause its been almost 6months. I was shocked that it wasn't a huge dissapointment trying on clothes. I tried some on shortly after having parker and it made me feel horrible. Nothing fit like it was suppose to. Im not down to pre-pregnancy weight, but pretty darn close. Which I consider an accomplishment. I hope to be down to pre pregnancy weight or lower by the time I get preggo again. Which I have a while so Im taking my time. Oh I got three shirts ( all different colors, burnt red, green, and pink) a pair of dark jeans, and a pair of sandals that I can wear to work. (its to hot to wear socks and tennis shoes) although I may decide I don't like them the first time I get into a pi with them on. (good thing Im not part of PI's very often)

About work, I switch to the other shift starting aug 11th. Im pretty excited about that. I will have every wednesday, thursday, and friday off. Yahoo.

My pumpkins have taken over our back yard area. and my tomato plants have out grown the poles I put in for them. They do have blossoms on them and we are hoping for a lot of tomatos. Next year we will do small tomatos like cherry tomatos, and NO pumpkins. Jordans flowers are doing really well. The marigolds behind the pond look like they are 1ft tall. But they don't have blossoms yet. The ones in the front have a TON! I can't wait to see what he does with the front area next year. Oh and his peppers are doing great also. One of them has a pepper on it.:)

Well that is all for today.

My favorite things.

I put a blanket on pjs head and it looked so cute I had to take pics.

I love it when I come home to this after a long day of work. Aren't then so cute?

Oh know he escaped. Well I hope you enjoyed the pics. I sure did!

New Do!

Ok this is it. Its super short cause I didn't want to ever be able to pull it up and look like the slob that I was.

and here is the back

a few of pj. He was helping me with laundry. He mostly just ate it.

And today after getting back from the mall. Just chillin out waiting for nap time!

Some thoughts for the week.

Ok well I have actually been thinking a lot this week. More spiritually than anything. All my other thoughts and ideas are super scattered.

So I have been thinking about happiness lately. I know I did a whole post on it but I guess I just needed another reminder. I have been thinking that there is no better time to be happy than now. It makes life so much easier, and enjoyable. Mom sent me an email on this and I just read it today. It was pretty inspiring, but I must say I was already thinking this very thing. Being miserable and onry just makes you and every one else miserable. If I have to choose a mood I hope that I will be able to choose happy. I must say it is definately working at work. hehehe I don't really hate my job I just hate being away from Pj and Jordan. To me they ARE alot more fun than work. But every one thinks that about their family.

Ok I need some ideas for summer cooking that is cheap. I don't ever want to cook cause its so hot and so we end up not eating that is healthy or cheap. So I am calling for any and all ideas! Make sure they are things that are simpe to make and less expensive. If it were possible I would buy all types of meat to cook on the grill but that just isn't budget freindly.

Motherhood has completely changed my life. All mothers will hopefully know and understand this. It is a bitter/sweet experience. Some days you are soooo tired you think that you are going to loose it. But then you look down at the sweet little boy that has just managed to fall asleep at 1am (of course this was the first two months or so) Now its getting woke up at 6am and you are soooo tired cause you worked till 11pm and then couldn't sleep so you actually went to bed at like 1am and probably didn't fall asleep till like 2am. But the minute I see his smiling face, excited to see me. All the tired and annoyed feelings go away and my heart is filled with joy. He grows so much every day. Yesterday when I finally got to see Pj after a day and some of not seeing him. He reminds me of how great life can be. I worry so much for him with the way the world is changing so much (For the worse) I worry if he will make the right choice. I wonder how I will deal with the teenage years when he doesn't smile when he sees me. When he has other things to do than play and laugh with mom. I thought my mission was the hardest and most enjoyable time of my life. (I never knew it was possible to enjoy a hard time) that is till my mission. And God never ceases to amaze me with the joy and happiness he sends me in my time of trial. I am so very greatful for the oppertunity to be a mother and a wife.

Memories!

OK, I thought this was a cute and fun idea, so I copied Jess, from her blog. Here are the rules:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.
If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember.
yep I copied it word for word from jess' blog.

The Pumpkins! and stuff.

Ya I know I am going to have to pull one or two more up but they are doing so well
My Tomato plants are getting so big. To bad there arent any blossoms.
The pond and we still have a few fish in there too.
This one has a ton of blossoms. I cut most of them off though.

oh and you can kinda see Jordans pepper plant.

Well I didn't get any pics from the fourth. I am hoping Jordans sister Kara emails him some so we can have some pics. It was alot of fun though. I worked until about 230. Then we headed up north for some steak. It was a lot of fun and Pj was a good boy so we could really enjoy the time. We watched the fire works on the way home cause Pj was tired. It's pretty cool to get to see some of all the fireworks. I worked a double yesterday, well sort of. I should be getting like three hrs of over time this week. Its been a while since I have worked a full weeks worth of work. So hey Im pretty tired. I usually only work like thirty hrs. I figured it would be nice to have a little extra money so I've picked up some extra shifts on the weekends this month. The more money I make the more we can spend in VEGAS yeah!

More Laughing and Fun!

My amazing husband being silly!










Ok I set him down and put the bottle next to him. There was like 2oz left in it. I come back and he is eating it on his own. He can also put the binkie in his mouth. He is getting to be such a big boy.

There will be two posts today. Right now I am down loading video of Pj and Jordan. There isn't much to update but I am hoping to have pics after the fourth of July. I got that night off so we are headed up North for some steak I guess. Oh and we booked a hotel for vegas for my bday. Well and for Jordans too but it will be just after my bday.
