The Cutey is one! And, Cabin fun :)

This is a little late because we have been on vacation, but my little guy is now a one-year-old! Yay! This year really has flown by. Crazy! We celebrated his big day with family at the cabin... Hebgen Lake just outside of West Yellowtone. He was so excited about everything. It was fun! We missed Jake.. he was still at home :( but had a fun time with cousins and family! Here are some pics of the recent trip! The cabin is my most favorite place. Everything about it is just always the best! This year, we got in tons of boating, waterskiing/wakeboarding, mini-bike riding, fishing, and eating too much good food.
Anyway, here are some pics!
It's the birthday boy!!


my cutey cousins!... Ty and Ashley

my "Must" list...

Thanks Jenni for the prompt to do a "must" list for the week. I was needing to make a list! Anyway, here mine is!

10. I really have to find a swimsuit this week! It seems to be an impossible task to find a cute one that fits me and is not super skanky! I have already looked just about everywhere, including online. Wish me luck on this one!

9. Jake's leftover birthday cake from Cold Stone is in our freezer... must either throw it out or feed the rest to Jake before I finish it off! Yellow cake with sweet cream ice cream and cookie dough... too yummy!

8. Going on walks with Luke... I love them! He does too. We always seem to walk past lots of people and their dogs, and he can't get enough of dogs lately! All animals really! He sees them way down the road and points and jabbers in excitement until we catch up. Cutey. Maybe one day we'll get a dog... when our kids are old and can take care of it!

7. Yay for TV! American Idol is down to the top 3! Hopefully Blake goes tonight! Not that he's bad... Melinda and Jordin are just better! I'm hoping Jordin wins. Also, I'm excited about The Office and Grey's finales! Oh ya,... and can't forget Spurs vs. Suns!

6. Another shower tonight... it's that time of year! Everyone is having babies or getting married!

5. Got to clean the house! Visitors are coming this weekend. I wish I took the time to really deep clean every week!... would make things easier!

4. Flowers! I love them and our yard despritely needs more! Tomorrow morning's project! :)

3. Seaworld passes! I am so excited to get mine this year so I can take the stinker swimming! Jake and I had so much fun there last summer. Didn't think I'd be saying this since we were there so much last year, but I'm ready to go back!

2. Countdown to fun begins! Next week Jake goes fishing and I'm off to Arizona!

1. As of this afternoon, Jake is done with his second year of Dental School! Woo hoo! This year has been a pain! On to third year! Also, congrats to Josh! Happy graduation Dr. Smith!!

crOp-A-DilE!


I got a new crop-a-dile yesterday... so much fun! I had to try it out this morning. It does snaps, eyelets, two different sizes of holes, and other stuff too! I used to hate setting eyelets and haven't used them much since high school since setting them annoyed me so bad... but now they're fun again! yay!

Feeling Scrappy!














A few weeks ago, I was inspired by Jenni's scrapbooking and decided I should get going on Luke's scrapbook! After all, he is just 2 months away from his first birthday and I've got a million pictures. Here are just a few of the pages I've done lately.


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!

ToP 10 SpRinG BrEak AcTivItiEs CouNtdOwN...

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!
