"Ahh.."


Although both Ricky and I wear glasses, I am somewhat hopefull that Hyrum will not inherit the bad eyesight..

but then again, ALL but 1 member of my immediat family wear glasses...

I allowed Hyrum to put my glasses on for a minute the other day, and once they were properly on his face he looked through the frames and screamed

"AHHH, Fall Down!"

looking through my lenses he thought he was going to fall.. he clearly, so far doesn't have near as bad eyesight as his mommy..

Vibram FiveFingers

Call me crazy but.... I REALLY want a pair of these....


or these...

actually I'd like to own a pair of each of the Vibram FiveFingers.





What are they? Water shoes.? Sure, the could be used as water shoes. You can also go cycling, mountain climbing, trekking, hiking, do yoga, gym workouts, sky diving, 'traveling' (wear as normal every day shoe), running.. you can do pretty much anything in these Vibram FiveFingers.

They are an extremely light weight shoe that allowes for strong, healthy feet, and 'brings you closer to your environment'.

other things they do for you are as followes

  •  Strengthens muscles in feet and lower legs
  •  Improves rang of motion in ankles, feet and toes
  •  Stimulates neural function important to balance and agility
  •  Eliminate heel lift to align the spine and improve posture
  •  Allow the foot and body to move naturally

I don't remember where I came across these, but it was last summer and I have been checking them out over the last year... I think I'm ready to own some of my own!

plus I actually really like the style of them.. weird I know, but I do..

you can buy them on various websites online, or at big sports and outdoors stores such as R.E.I.

Pantsed..

Don't let the cuteness and the smile on this little boys face fool you!

He has tricks up his sleeve and knows the perfect way to make someone laugh while embarrasing someone else..



Ever two weeks I go to the chiropractor to get an adjustment.

On Monday, Hyrum and I went to my apointment as usual, only it didn't turn out to be a usual apointment.

I get traction done before the actual cracking and popping of the back and neck. I lay face down on the table and Dr. Jex turns it on and the bottom end moves up and down.

Hyrum is at the point now where he loves going to the 'doctor.' He wants done to him anything that is done to mommy and daddy, especially at the chiropractors office.

he loves the moving table, so much so that he trys to get on while I am in the middle of my adjustment.

Well yesterday he decided he wanted to get on the table with me only this time he reached up, grabbed the waist of my pants and pulled them down to try and pull himself up!!

No, he didn't make it up onto the table, he did however give Dr. Jex a good 'mooning' at mommies expense!!!

Both Dr.Jex and I grabbed hold and pulled my pants up.. It was pretty funny, Dr. Jex got a great laugh and said that everybody needs to watch out for that little booger!

Dr. Jex was still smiling at the end of the apointment. Hyrum gave everybody a great laugh. I myself keep laughing because I can't believe that that happened, and it's soo embarrasing.

I was telling myself that if it HAD to happen, Dr. Jex was probably the best person for it to happen with as he is also LDS (mormon) and he just has the type of personality to handle a mishap like that.

until.... I was home and realized that I was wearing carinessa bottoms.. for all of you mormon women that wear carinessa garment bottoms,  you know that they are practically SEE-THROUGH!!!

that little booger!! I still love him though! :)

Mothers Day 2011

For Mothers Day, Hyrum got me a super cute card filled with money for me to buy myself some new books.! (if you know me, that is the best gift EVER)

The Federal Way Borders is in it's final week of closing out. The section I like to buy books from was all 70% off.

So, I went to Borders and grabbed these 5 new books and 1 new CD for $35.

The bottom two books were originally $30 a piece! So, I definitley got a great deal on this purchase!

On Maggie's Watch- By Ann Wertz Garvin
Jesus Land- a Memoir by Julia Scheeres
Admission- by Jean Hanff Korelitz
Left Neglected- by Lisa Genova
and

Mustache


We went to a Mario birthday party this weekend. In the goodie bag was a mustache.
Today Hyrum really wanted to put it on so I helped him take it off of the sticky paper and placed it under his nose.
I took him to look at himself in the mirror and he screamed "Ahh PawPaw"
"'I' PawPaw" pointing to himself.

He sure does remember his PawPaw.

But I think it's safe to say he remembers PawPaws mustache the most.!
