Cleaning Checks & Concerts

Some of you know that Jeff and I are Residential Assistants (RAs) for our apartment complex. Part of our responsibility as RAs is to do the monthly cleaning checks. This is definitely not our favorite part of the job, but worth the time and effort. Being that Parker recently joined our family, it added a new challenge to doing the checks. We got this awesome carrier from my aunt so we decided to put it to use so I could have my hands free. It works great and is super comfy. Unfortunately, Utah decided to have another cold spell so we bundled Parker up in this cute bear outfit Great-Grandma gave him. After we got him bundled up and and in the carrier, Jeff looked at me and just laughed . . . this is why:

It looks like I'm caring a stuffed animal! But what a cute stuffed animal he is! He was such a trooper and pretty much slept the whole time. What a guy!

Less Than Jake Concert

On a completely separate note, this week was a rough one for Jeff in regards to school. Just the fact that it is the end of the semester says a lot. You just get burned out by this time! But Jeff continues to work hard. This week he had a couple of tests as well as some group projects and a paper on top of all of his normal homework. He was especially exhausted. One of our favorite bands came to town this weekend and as a treat to himself he decided to go with some friends. I would have gone too, but with the new little guy I didn't want to leave him for that long and I certainly wasn't about to bring him along. So Parker and I held down the fort while dad went out to play. But I'm so glad he was able to do something fun after such a hard week, it was well deserved! Especially with all the help he gives me with Parker on top of everything else he has to do. Really, he is the best husband and father a girl could ever ask for!

Anyway, too get in the true concert mood, Jeff got his hair cut back into the Faux Hawk. Just for fun we did Parker's up too.
Like father, Like son!



What a couple of hunks! I love them more then anything!

Yes yes yes! Welcome to parenthood vs. RA job! :) We had to do the same thing for a while. She often fell asleep while we were doing the cleaning checks and was just heavy dead weight. But for the most part, she liked the carrier thing and liked to be able to see what was going on! :) I love the bear outfit! :)
(now, however, she is a little big and heavy and we don't use the carrier anymore. Now she just wants to get on the floor in all the apartments and crawl around! SO much better... lol)

Love your little guy! SO cute! So fun!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
