Don't Want to Jinx it!

Sooo, in just a few days we are going to hopefully have a great happening happen soon! :) I don't want to jinx it... and I will let you guess the happening! :) Just wanted you all to know we're alive and well! Til then.. STAY TUNED! :)

:) :) :)

Progress... well almost!

I totally jinxed myself yesterday and I am kicking myself in the butt for it! We went 4 whole days and 3 full nights with out the wonderful binky! I was so excited, McGuire was breaking threw and going onto another stepping stone of growing! We used the excuse that it was lost, cause in fact it really was! But late last night, he new I was worn out and completely impatient with his screams, by the way he never wakes up in the night. I tried to rock him, sing to him, feed him, change his diaper, give him his bottle... EVERYTHING... I found the binky in the rocking chair side pocket (thankfully for my sake of sanity) and I gave it to him... :(
Now the war begins with the binky.. but don't you worry we are going to be getting rid of it! No doubt about it!

On another note... Sad news for the latest addition to the family... Frankie has to go :( Taylor and McGuire are allergic to him. He is the best cat I have ever had... definitely no complaints. If anyone is wanting a free adult cat (that is AWESOME with toddlers and has a great cuddly personality) Let me know! I will be so happy to let you have him.. I don't want to take him back to the pound....

Kylies Bridal Shower

Saturday was Kylie's Bridal Shower! It was so fun to see everyone there that showed up. Due to the weather and my past happenings financially though I couldn't decorate the place as well as I had imagined. It would have been soo cute! But it still turned out great! I'm so happy for Kylie to be getting married! Its such a great thing in life to share everything with your best friend and be able to spend every day together!

Back in the day when I was a Slumber party seller, I had a lot of stuff for parties to have for show and etc.
So I figured what a great gift! You can't go through a whole bridal shower with out a sexual something put in there! I think Kylie was more embarrassed that her mother was there more then anything duirng that present! Ha ha Sorry Kylie!
Here is kylie reactions to them :) PRICELESS I tell ya!

Priceless! :) I love to embarrass! Its so great! 

The shower turned out great! and I was so grateful for the help that I received!

McGuire is officially a Monkey

McGuire can now climb out of his crib and climb on top of EVERYTHING! During nap tim eI have to wait til his eye lids are droopy now, or else I'll here banging on the door til it sounds like its going to break.
But one day I left him in there just playing for a little bit, to see how he does.. and this is how I fond him ten minutes later....

Isn't it the cutest, he's so innocent when he sleeps lol.

This weekend was the Wasatch County Fair, and it was CRAPPY weather for it too! We wanted to go to the carnival for McGuire on thursday, but it got pushed back til Saturday... After the Parade. 

It was McGuires first Carnival ride :) He LOVED it, we had to do the cars, just because he is into my car lately (wanting to drive it and etc) he thought he was the Sh*t, he would take a glance at Taylor and I then roll his eyes at us, like 'I'm so cool mom and dad' It was so cute and funny!

Here is the evidence:

See the little smirk of attitude! Its so cute!

White Trash Weekend #2

If you have noticed I haven't blogged a lot lately, well I got a new job and it definitely doesn't require a computer (which is good), its more of a craft store and I LOVE IT! But so much has happened since the last time I have blogged.

There was White trash weekend #2!
My little Bro-in-law, Parker, is always in the derby here is good old Heber, and this year we got to be more apart of it then in the past. McGuire got to put his name on the car (front and Center) and Taylor and my name are on the back, lol its great!

During the derby, Parkers Transmission basically blew, so he didn't get too damaged, State Fair Derby is coming up he is wanting to be apart of that one, which will be sooo fun to watch!

Here are some more pictures of the heber derby

It was a great night for the Derby, for the first time in a long time, it didn't RAIN!!!! :) How cool huh! I was relieved! :) Happy derbying! (spelled wrong I'm sure)

Dear So and So

Dear little monster of mine:

I understand your a boy and that you absolutely have to get dirty, yell and scream and jump in puddles. I understand that you are very curious and have soo much energy that you can't stand it and have to climb out of your crib and get on top of EVERYTHING bigger then you. But One think I do ask of you, don;t learn how to open doors. Then mommy will go crazy! I understand you think its a fun game to wear mommy out dry of energy, and to pull the cats tale and make his life miserable. But quick growing into a young boy, stay a toddler. No more growing.

Love,

Mommy who loves you forever


Dear green paper that thinks its worth alot,

You are ruining my life, I hate your stinking guts. You are scum in between my toes! Quick making it harder and harder to earn you and to pay the bills that need to be paid. I really don't think your that cool, to go ahead and make me stress about it all the time.

sincerely,
I work too hard for something thats just a piece of paper......

An icky story....

Last night, while McGuire was asleep safely in his crib,  I was getting a trash bag from my cupboard and low and behold there is a HUGE SPIDER. For those who don't know me, I absolutely incredibly HATE spiders! I will do anything to get rid of them by not getting in close contact (thank goodness for vacuums, hairspray and blowdryers).

Back to my story, so out of reflex from how big of a spider it was I crushed her with my nikes... CRUNCH!!! Oh my heck that was a big crunch.. and she was stuck to my shoe... GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!! As I was showing Taylor my kill... she fell off, and there were her millions of BABIES going EVERYWHERE!!!! I was freaking out with the creeby geebies, and Taylor jumped up and try his best to kill them... A Solution came into my mind.. Lysol kitchen spray! So we sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. We got most of them, we thought.

After that happened we decided to clean every square inch of the house (other then McGuires room, since he was sleeping) as we were doing so, more spiders, but older ones and not pregnant thank heaven.. I think we killed about 15-20 spiders... I FREAKED OUT! I hate SPIDERS! So the vacuum came handy, and I sucked up those creepy suckers til they were gone!

Since this was at 11:00 at night, there was no doubt in my mind I wouldn't be able to fall asleep, and even if I did I would have nightmares about spiders.. and yes i did... GROSS!!! What a great way to start the day.. and Frankie (our cat) is certainly fired.. but he can still stay with us, cuz we love him and hes cheap entertainment.

Thats my icky story! If you have a solution to my problem let me know... cuz I would love to not have spiders everywhere. Don't say the word MOVE, cuz believe me, its in the works!!!

Dear So and So...

I love this idea that Texas Monkey has on her blog, she does a once a week deal where she writes to someone about her frustration towards them BUT keeps it anonmous to who it really is... They trun out to be soo funny cuz its true about alot of people and easy to connect! So I am going to start one and hopefully I get some people to share their frustrations too, and to make a little laugh at the simple things in life! :) Check out her blog HERE.

Here are Mine for the week:
Dear lady with no personal space:

Please get out of my personal space, and trying to rush me in the subway line.. its not my fault that I have a sandwhich and the worker on the other side ONLY has two hands.. also, paying does require some interaction and yours is not needed.. so please don't push my sandwhich out of the way while I'm gathering the change. Again, you are not allowed in my personal space.


Love,
Rushing me will not help


Dear Self:


Even though it may be rough times for you right now (job junting and all) does not mean you need to eat all the yummy snacks in the house! Remind yourself you are on a diet, to not look like you are in your 2nd trimester of pregnancy (which I am not) and to make people stop staring at your tummy. Those snacks are for McGuire and Taylor, Not for Stefanie's Stress level to go down. Now go motivate yourself to run....


Sincerely,
Soon to be your skinny self again :)


Dear empty nester:


I want to thank you for the giggles that you have provided for me. I know your old, and I know that you no longer have youngins' living in your house. Your solution to this makes me giggle everytime I see it. To see your "baby" in a stroller while you take her on a walk, but I really think that dog would rather be walking beside you then in a stroller. If you really that desperate for lil' ones at your house, I will gladly let you watch McGuire for an hour or so... I'm sure that will cure your Empty Nester Syndrom. Feel free to come on over! :)


Sincerely,
Walks with McGuire are so Interesting

Here a lil somethin to smile at!

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST

She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee. Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box. Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week... Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl. And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.

Keep reading-they get better!!!


 WOMEN'S REVENGE

'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked. 'No,' she replied, 'but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally..'
 UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

 (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE) I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

 CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS

A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter. She says, confused, 'Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife? He answers, 'You see, it's like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it's sooo-ooo--oo-ooo
 much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ........... so does she. (I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)



 WIFE VS. HUSBAND

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'  'Yep,' the wife replied, 'in-laws.'

 WORDS

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day. 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men... The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

 CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.' The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!



WHO DOES WHAT

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, 'You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, 'You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.' Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.' Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.' So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says ... 'HEBREWS'


The Silent Treatment

 A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

White Trash Weekend #1

So this weekend we got to have a great experience at the most white trash thing ever :) Its called the TRACTOR PULLS, it was the first time ever in Heber to be held and our little family HAD to go watch it.

It really wasn't all that bad, it kinda got old after a while, but I LOVE to people watch, so that was my entertainment. I will admit though it is a real sport, alot of time, effort and money go into some of these trucks/tractors.

McGuire loved the smoke that the trucks let out and the loud trucks! Did you know that trucks can pull like 2 ton worth of weight (does that sound right lol)? McGuire's Uncle Parker went for a try in the pulls, he got fifth place, which really isn't that bad for that kind of a truck and for the first time for Parker.

Oh also before I forget, our kitty, Frankie, is fitting in just fine.. He may get a tug or two at the tail and ears by McGuire, but he's a good sport all together about it, ha ha. This is him in sleep mode, which is usually ALL THE TIME. He cracks me up everytime. He is a very LAZY cat! But is getting most of the bugs, especially the flying moths!
