Guitar Time.

Our little A loves it when her dad brings out the guitar! 

It's Okay.

It's Okay:

To finally feel well enough to catch up on blogging.
To be day dreaming about all the food that we'll have for Thanksgiving!
To have a love/hate relationship with the snow, it came super early and stuck this year!
To get caught up in life and forget about your blog once in a while.
To be ready for your sister to leave, (the one you've been hoping would come visit!).
To have 4 baskets of laundry ready to be folded and put away, for a week in your room!

Wedded Bliss Wednesdays

This week's questions: Your husband as a father/future father:

1. What is/will be your husband's best trait as a father?

He is loving. For the longest time A would scream anytime he'd hold her, he couldn't comfort her at all. He kept trying and now that she is older, she'll let him comfort her. She'll sit by him on the couch and snuggle before bed. When he's working, she'll sit on his lap and watch movies on the computer.

2. What is/will be your husband's favorite thing to do with the kids?

Play guitar with A. She loves to sit on his lap, or right next to him and play the guitar.

3. How does/will your husband help out with the kids?

Anything before bedtime. He has the hardest time helping when it comes to bedtime. If he is in bed already, forget it.

4. What do you hope your children learn from their dad?

 You can be better than your parent's. My husband's dad isn't the best example of what to be when you grow up. In fact, he's the best example of what not to be. Lots of people I know don't think they can do better than their parent's but my husband knew he could. He also didn't feel the need to be like his friends, he's always been his own person, doing what is best for him.

20 Months.

Watching the number of months go up as I write these posts, have got me thinking a couple things. 

1. That its probably time to stop doing monthly updates and, 2. That my baby isn't a baby anymore.

Here is Miss A at 20 months.

Favorite Thanksgiving Memory  

Growing up I lived in California, everyone in our extended family lived in Utah. For the 14 years we lived there 13 of them we packed our stuff the Thursday before and headed to Utah Friday after school. I didn't know my cousins or grandparent's, didn't feel comfortable with them, but it all changed when Thanksgiving came around, you felt like part of the family it was such an awesome feeling.

Favorite Thanksgiving Food 

I just don't know! Everything just goes together so well! Last year and this year my family has added a ham to our meal (which I'm in charge of making). Love it!

What is a Thanksgiving Tradition you and your family have?

I'm sure most families do this, but we always play games  and watch movies together. 

Show us a favorite Thanksgiving picture(or 5) from years past

The first Thanksgiving we celebrated as a family of 3!

What are you most looking forward to about this Thanksgiving?

All the food, ha! Spending more time with my siblings that are here in Utah. We get together quite often but a lot of the time one of us is missing, so excited for us ALL to be there.

CHILDHOOD EXPECTATIONS OF MARRIAGE!

1. When you were a child what did you imagine YOUR Prince Charming to be like?

Loving, tough and attractive!

2. Does you husband match your prediction as a child?

Yup!

3. What about when you were a teenager and knew it all about love, does you relationship match that scenario you had during those rebel years? 

There was only one time that I let myself think I was in love, my second boyfriend. Boy was he a tricky one. A liar, rude, and the list could go on. After that, I wasn't sure what love was going to be like, I'd think about it all the time, but could never guess it'd be like it is now. 

4. What love movie would you best match your relationship to? Why?

Honestly, I keep thinking about two movies, The Notebook and Runaway Bride. Strange choices right? The Notebook because, we've always been there fore each other, there isn't anyone else out there for me. Runaway Bride, because there have been so many relationships that just might go okay, but they weren't the right ones for us, and we finally found each other. We know each other's faults and weaknesses and we accept that.

What is a new Fall TV show you have added to your DVR?

We only have Netflix at our house! Hmmm, I can't even think of any shows that I watch at my mom's or that I make her DVR. What do you guys watch? I'm open to suggestions!

I love Twitter! So easy to just tweet stuff like questions, and get responses quickly. For me, Twitter has WAY LESS drama then Facebook.

What is a TV series or Movie or Song you could listen to or watch over and over and over and never get tired of…feel free to name one of each

We actually just watched My Name is Earl, over again. Loved it the first time & still love it!  

But Friends, Will & Grace, Roseanne are some of my favorites too!

I love The Notebook, The Time Traveler's Wife & The Other Guys for movies!

Hmmm.. Songs? I don't know. I'll get back to you!

Netflix Addict.

What shows on Netflix do you guys love? What am I missing out on?! I really really wish I could find my list from before, we've watched tons more shows than this!

Hope you're all doing well!!!

A's First BasketBall Game.

We did it, we took a toddler to a basketball game. Crazy right?

Well it all worked out because the company my dad works for, has a suite. 

Perfect for a toddler.

We actually had two toddlers there, Stinky came along with us. 

So glad A got a chance to experience this!
