1. This is my morning baby. She's always up by six, and so excited to see us. Luke doesn't wake up until eight or nine, so the early morning hours are fun with just her. Love her morning hair! It has gotten longer and thicker lately, but still manages to stick straight up a lot of the time!
2. Jake's fellow residents and their families came over for a BBQ on Saturday, and the Zimmermans came over to eat and hang with us on Sunday. We haven't made the effort to invite company over much since we moved here, so it was a fun change of pace.

You can buy it at Costco. Don't worry, it's just 310 calories, 19 grams of fat for 1/2 a piece. ;)
4. What is the deal with "Bumpit"?? The infomercial about them is on all the time here. At first I thought they were the funniest things ever. I thought about buying one for a white elephant party or something. Then, I started seeing them at Walmart, and the lady in the return line ahead of Jake at Target was returning one. So, PEOPLE REALLY BUY THESE. (Or maybe they just do here in Vegas area??) Do you have one?
5. Whenever I go into the living room lately, Luke has taken off all of the pillows and couch cushions to make what he says is a rocket. He makes these "rockets" and then finds all of the remote controls, calculators, and toys with any type of button on them and shoves them under the pillows. Because, you know, cock-pits have a lot of buttons in them. NOT fun to clean up every day! Sometimes he lets Ella join him.
6. This spider lives on the front of our house. Jake wants to see how big it will get, so he isn't into killing it. I say it should go. Sick.
7. Last week I went to the base for Ella's Dr. appointment. We left the house early, and made it on time. Got to the office, and the lady was like "um... your appointment is actually for tomorrow." Great. So, we went back the next day for her appointment. Everything looked good. She never went in for a 9 month check up since we were moving and out of town, so we just made this her one year appointment. She's cutie short and still chubby, and doing everything she should be doing. I'm curious to see when she starts walking. Luke didn't walk until 15 months, but I'm thinking she'll decide to take off soon. I have to take her back this week to get her 1 year shots. Can't believe she's almost 1!
8. Saturday I pulled a muscle or did something to my right leg and I am bummed about it! Hurts just walking. Super annoying! I have logged over 250 miles over the last twelve weeks doing a Hal Higdon program... and felt great up till now. Six more weeks until the St. George Marathon and I was planning on doing another 170 miles before then. If I end up not being able to run the marathon because of this I think I'm going to cry.
9. Been thinking about putting Luke in a pre-school of some sort. He wants to go to school so bad and loves being around other kids his age. I don't know though....
10. My blog book came in the mail a couple weeks ago! Almost 4 years of blog inside. I took out some of the random posts I did that I no longer cared about, and ended up with 300 pages. Holy cow. Makes me want to keep blogging even though I don't always feel like doing it! And, it helped me realize what kinds of things I will actually care about later. I love looking back at my kids when they were tiny, and reading stories about them, and family vacations, and the day-to-day things. Not stuff that other people would find interesting, but I blog about if for us. Those are the posts that I'm glad I have now. I love scrapping, but know I'd never get around to scrap booking all this stuff. S0o, yeah for blurb!

*Got to hang out with my college roomies and their cute kids! One day Jess and I took the kiddos to the Mesa children's museum. We spun Luke around on this spinny chair thing and he was so dizzy that he puked all over a few minutes after we were done. YUCK!! Luckily Jess brought an extra shirt for Tagg that Luke was able to squeeze into!
Jake isn't quite as bald as Caillou is, but close. It's the first time he's really changed his hair since I've known him, so I was surprised he went through with it! Haha. Luke got a short summer 'do' too. Must be nice to have a totally maintenance-free head!
