Morning Entertainment

While I was doing my makeup this morning I was amazed at how good luke was being in his little entertainment center thing. Usually after 5 or 10 minutes he freaks out and wants me to get him out of there. Anyway, I went to check on him and he was watching a giant spider that was outside on our window. He was fascinated by it! haha. I'm just glad it wasn't in the house! Hopefully he won't make his way in somehow! Aaaaa!

oUch!!

I used to think (until yesterday) that all the pro-athletes that you hear about not playing their sport for a while because of a groin injury were a bunch of pansies. How bad could it be, right? We’ve all pulled muscles and it’s never really that bad, huh? Well, I have now changed my mind! Last night at the gym I pulled a muscle while running, and it is so stinking painful! Aaah!!! I can barely walk or put weight on my left leg. Since this annoying injury, Jake has had to pick up Luke for me, grab diapers and wipes, food,… you know… be my servant because these little dumb things seem impossible to do right now! I just had to walk to the mail box to put some outgoing stuff in… thought I was going to die pushing that stroller! I stopped like 5 times on the way home to take a break! Ugh!! Anyway, to all the athletes that have this problem fairly often, I no longer think you’re looking for an excuse to slack!

10. Getting to Arizona without a hitch! Luke slept almost the whole way on the plane! The ride back to San Antonio was great too! Luke was awake this time, but in a great mood! This really is a big deal, considering how aweful his first trip to Arizona was by plane!

9. Going to my favorite scrapbook store in Mesa with friends, and then making letters for Katie's wedding! Here are a few :) ...

8. Eating dad's cookies! (way too many of them!!) mmmm...... and going to a bunch of yummy restraunts... Gecko Grill (Arroz Con Pollo is my fav!), Cafe Rio, BJ's... and others. Rick and my dad both used their BBQ skills to make us steaks... Sunday after we got back, Aaron & Kristen and Josh & Jenni made us an awesome hawaiian haystacks dinner... Oh man,... eating can be fun!
7. Shopping!! I love Arizona malls. They really do have everything! Plus, who can argue when moms/grandmas want to buy stuff??

6. Birthday parties! We got to hang out with everyone and eat lots of cake and ice cream at Rick's and Jane's birthday parties.

5. Luke discovered his 2nd mom (I think he sometimes thought Abby was me!) Anyway, he loves her! He also discovered that he loves kicking his feet in swimming pools! Too bad the water is still a little too cold to get all the way in!

4. 24 hr babysitting available! Jake and I took advantage of this and went on a few dates... thanks to mom, dad, and abby, we saw movies, shopped and had fun without our little guy in tow! Also, it was so nice to have people watch luke while I ran at a normal times during the days we were there! Going before Jake is off to school in the morning here in TX is way to early! Ugh! 3. Our trip to see bodyworlds! We went with my family and some of Jake's family. It really is amazing... go see an exhibit somewhere!
2. Jake and I got to go on a temple trip with Todd, mom, and dad. Thanks Abby for watching the stinker! 1. Hanging out with family all the time! It's so much fun! We don't see them enough! Luckily we get to come back to family in Texas! Spring break went by way too fast! Oh well.. back to reality!

fUn ToEs...

Luke is very into his feet lately. He loves them! Two handy toys that he can never drop or lose. The second I take off his pants and socks, he's got his piggies in his mouth. How he gets his chunky little legs all the way up there never ceases to amaze me! haha

fun

My sister-in-law posted celebrity look alike results on her blog, so I was curious to see what mine would be. It really is fun! Go to this link and do it yourself. :) Although, it is kind of weird to have it say you look like a guy. (if you're a girl) haha.

First kiss :)

While we were in Utah for Christmas, we got together with my best friend, Ashley, and her little girl Presley. It was so much fun! She and Luke are a month apart in age. To say the least, they loved each other! It was SO cute! If this is a preview of things to come we are going to be in trouble! Our little guy is already a ladies man!

yay!

For all of the people who think I'm lame for being a Utah Jazz fan... after tonight's game, they are 10-1. Pretty good, huh? They're currently #1. :)

hmm...

So, I decided to push the little arrow thing on the top of blogger to see whose blog would come up after mine, and this is what I found.
http://zigreal.blogspot.com/
Interesting. I can't read a thing on there, but I really want to see a chinese/japanese/korean... or whatever language it's in keyboard. How do they type that stuff?

tHanKs!

I was thinking this morning... Jake and I are so lucky that we have family close by to mooch off of! haha. We have borrowed a million baby things from Aaron and Kristen and it's been SO nice. I don't know if I would ever get a shower lately without the bouncy chair or the swing! I'm sure one day we'll have to buy these things (maybe in a couple years for baby #2 since Luke is quickly getting too big for them!) but for now- thanks guys for letting us use your things! Don't worry... we won't keep them forever since Gunnar is arriving soon! You guys are the best!

cutey's first haircut :)

Ok, so I was kind of sad about giving Luke his first haircut because I knew it would make him look so much older, but we finally did it... and what a little stud! He was even more blonde under the long wispy baby hair then I thought he would be! Where does he get that from?
