Memories, Like the Corner of My Mind...

I got this from a friends blog and thought it would be fun! I hope you will play along.
Here are the directions:
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.

Such a good "Mommy"



We were sitting in the living room today and Macee got her baby and laid her on a blanket and got the wipes and said, "baby stinky, baby stinky!" and she got the wipes and pretended to clean the baby! Roger and I were laughing so hard! And I know I know she needs a sibling to play with! She is getting so good at pretending and it seems like she is doing everything with her baby that she sees us doing with her! I love to see her imagination developing.

WOW!

So I have been trying for the last hour to post a whole bunch of pictures but my computer is so slow I gave up so here's one and a post about what we've been up to! Hopefully I can get to a faster computer and post all of them! We have had a busy and fun summer so far and I just want to tell my Mom and Dad how much I love them and am so thankful that Macee and I were able to spend so much time with them! I didn't think it would be so hard to leave but it was and I have missed being around them! Macee had so much fun playing on the bed with Grandpa and going to see the dogs and chickens and having Grandpa chase her around! Grandma had so much fun giving Macee Vaseline for her lips 100 times a day and playing and going shopping. Macee loves and adores you! She walks around the house a lot and says "Mama, Mama" like she's looking for her Grandma! We miss you guys so much already and are so excited to be a lot closer! While we were in Lehi we went to the zoo and to Thanksgiving Point. Macee absolutely loved all of the animals and going with Carson! (thanks Val!) We did all of the fun things for Lehi Round-Up Days and it is unanimous that Macee is either going to be in a Marching Band or a Queen that rides on a float! She had so much fun watching the parades and she would dance and sing and wave at everyone and of course she loved all the candy! We played outside in Grandpas sprinkler and her pool and went on walks and played with all of the other grandmas and grandpas!
We moved into our house here in Ephraim on Monday and we still aren't completely unpacked thanks to such a helpful 1 year old!! It's not the greatest house but it will due until we can find something more permanent!(pictures to come when I can get them to work!) I have to admit that I have struggled a little bit being here, I think I have been a little home sick since I was with my family so long and am missing them already, a house not as nice as our other house, being in a new place with only Wal-Mart, just getting settled, allergies again bad and Macee has them bad too, I am such a whiner but it's been hard!! I asked Roger for a blessing the other night just to give me strength and comfort and it has helped me a lot! I am so thankful to him and for being a worthy priesthood holder! I am excited to go to church on Sunday and hopefully meet some people my age and make some friends that have kids too so we can get together and play!
We are going to a couple parades tomorrow for the 4th and are going to watch fireworks so we should be busy! Hopefully I can get my pictures to work since blogs are boring without them! Tootles!

SkYdiViNg...

You're never too old! My 98 year old Great Grandma Beulah went sky-diving today. She has talked about it and told everyone that she would do it with them if they wanted her to go but they were told she was too old, so they all went out today thinking that she was too old and that they wouldn't let her but to all of our surprise they did! We got a phone call while we were driving out there to watch other family members that they were letting her jump so we called the news stations to see if they would do a story on it. Channel 2 and Channel 13 came out and did stories about her and they were on the news tonight. Go to the link at the bottom and you can watch the actual video of her jumping! It was such a fun day. My Grandpa Gary and a couple of cousins, my uncle, 2 of my aunts, and some other family and friends ended up jumping too! I really wish I would have done it but I asked Macee if she wanted to and she said yes so I told her that when she was old enough we would go and leave CHICKEN Roger at home!!! Here is the link to watch the story! It's pretty awesome! Make sure to check out my mom on there too!!! (HEHE MOM!)

The Zoo

So I apologize that my blog is really boring lately but I can't find my cord to connect my camera to the computer so no pictures until I unpack and find it!! We took Macee to the zoo on Monday and it was a blast. I took her with my friend val about a year ago and she liked it but didn't quite understand yet so we took her this time and she absolutely loved it!!! She is into animals a lot and it was so much fun to see her get excited about all of the animals and to make the noises that they make and just to see the excitement on her face! She loved all of the little monkeys that were there because her new favorite thing is to sing "No more Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"! I will try to get video of it it's hilarious! Anyway she loved the elephants and especially the Giraffes because there was a baby one born in November and it was eating with its mom! She walked most of the time so she could be in on all of the action. She is definitely very independent!!!! Maybe too much sometimes!
On another note it's about a week and a half-two weeks before Macee and I move to Ephraim! I have loved being here with my family! They help with Macee a ton and she loves all of the attention and entertainment that they give her! It's been fun to spend so much time with them since I really haven't since I left home. I am so excited to be a lot closer to them now! Thanks again family for letting us crash here! I am really excited to get moved in and be with Roger again. It's been hard for all of us and I think he is really excited to have us back! His job is slow right now but when school starts up again it will be really busy and fun and I think he's excited for that! Anyway I hope everyone is doing well! Tootles!

We're Alive!

I know I know it's been forever since I have posted but we've been busy! You all know from my previous post that we are moving to Ephraim instead of Lehi and I can officially say we now have a place to live!!! We've been "homeless" for the last couple of weeks with Macee and me living with my parents and Roger living with his! We found a house to rent that is from the 70's all the way but it will be a good temporary start! It's just 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom but it's cute and it has a yard! We can move in on July 1st! It's been really fun being with my parents a lot but it's also really hard not having Roger here and not having a place of our own so I am really excited to get our own place even if it has wood panneled walls and bright wallpaper and carpet!!! Macee and I have had fun at swimming lessons and we've had fun seeing all of our family. Roger couldn't be happier at his job! I think this is a really good stepping stone for us! Thanks again to all of you who have helped us out in any way and we miss all of our old friends and neighbors! I promise it won't be two more weeks until I post and I will get some pictures up of our house and of Macee! Love You All!
Believe in Happily Ever After and it will come true!
