Root Beer Floats

On Tuesday afternoon, I was looking through the weekly ads and saw ice cream on sale. I was telling Nick that I'd been craving a root beer float for weeks. The only reason I hadn't gone to get the ice cream and root beer is because I knew it wouldn't make just one and I didn't want to get addicted to having one every night. After that explanation I got a strange look from Nick and was told I'm weird. Thanks, I knew that. So we go through our day and I headed off to my YW activity around 6:30. I got home around 8:30, and this is exactly what I saw when I walked inside....
There it is....just what I'd been craving. Ice Cream, my favorite mug and a can of root beer (with a lot more in the fridge). What a good husband I have!!! My girls have been more than willing to help me work through the extras in my fridge, but I won't lie....I have had one every day. It was one of those aahhhh... moments. You know, when I look at Nick and say, aahhh..... What a good husband I have!!! Thank you Nick, and I love you lots!

Back in business

Good news, we finally have a new computer and now I can get my blogging up to date! I don't have any pictures on this computer yet, so stay tuned. There will be a large post, or couple of posts coming your way soon!

Long time, no blog

So I'm sorry for the delays in the blogging. Our computer is officially dead. It's been out of commission for a while and so here I am at Nick's parents updating. I'm sorry, there are no pictures here, and this won't be a long post. I'll figure something out soon. But just an update, the family is all doing good. My little Emma is ready to start 1st grade and Maggie is growing a lot, but she's still short. Also, for those of you who don't know, we are expecting baby #3, and it's a BOY! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I'm not due until November 30th. So we still have a ways to go. I'll do my best to get some posts going and get some of our summer pictures up for everyone to see.

Champions

I know people think it's weird, but Yes, I am in a bowling league. And it's a blast! I love the ladies that I bowl with on my team and I look forward to every Wednesday when we bowl. I can take my kids, and the bowling lanes provide someone to watch them for me. Awesome right? My team mates, Megan, Tina & Shanette, are really laid back and we really just love to go to have fun and have some grown up girl time. Our season is split into two halves and somehow, my team won the first half. So we had to bowl the winners of the second half to see who gets to be the league champions. Any guesses who won? There are a lot of good bowlers in our league, one in particular who is out for the kill every week. Of course that's who's team we bowled yesterday. She's not a very nice person to bowl against and everyone in our league was hoping we'd beat her. We bowl 3 games, and the total score of all 3 games is considered the 4th game. So here's how it went down. The first game, I did horrible, and we lost by 21 pins, it really was my fault we lost. The nasty lady was gloating and being so obnoxious. Maybe that gave me and my team a little more incentive to kick it up a notch. Second game, we won by 11 pins. So we really only need to win by 11 pins for the 3rd game to win overall. So did we do it?? Of course! We didn't win by only 11 pins, we won by 98 pins! The best part was, the rest of the league had finished their games and now are watching ours, cheering for us. Megan had an incredible game, I think 7 strikes in a row. She bowled a 236. We thank Megan for sealing the deal and making it a total blow out! I'm not sure what it is about Megan bowling pregnant, it just morph's her game to a new level :) It was sweet. Really, I know it shouldn't matter that much, but this one lady (I'm trying to be nice and not say her name), she is crazy! She is a very good bowler, but she is rude and nasty and just not a nice person to be around. I don't think we'd have enjoyed the victory as much if we'd played anyone else. Unfortunately that was the last week until we start up again in September. Until we start back up, I'll just have to live on my memories of victory and bowling lane french fries. Thanks Ladies!

Let's try this again....

Okay, so my computer seems to be in working order and so I'm going to try and get some pictures posted. I did this a couple of days ago and nothing saved....sorry. But I'm hopeful today :)

This is New Year's in St. George. We usually go down for a week and we love it. We love spending time with the Powell family and letting our kids play! Don't I have the cutest girls??

Super Bowl....Go Steelers! We went to Nick's brother's house for the Super Bowl. They always have a great party, and we had a lot of fun. Especially since Nick's team won!! Nick painted his, mine and Emma's faces with the Steelers logo, but Emma wanted to do Maggie's, so she did a football. It was very cute!

Emma lost her first tooth and was visited by the tooth fairy, a very exciting thing for her. But the tooth fairy had a hard time finding the tooth as Emma kept moving it to keep it from getting "lost". But luckily on her second trip, the tooth fairy found the tooth and left a dollar.

We also made a short day trip up to Oakley to do some sledding and playing in the snow. We went with Josh and his dog, Sierra, Bob & Chantal with their two kids. We had fun sledding and just hanging out. There's a river right by the cabin and we were teasing Sydney about throwing her into the river. So Emma pipes up and says, "Yeah, let's throw her in." And Sydney's response was the cutest, she says "Hey Emma, you're supposed to be my best friend!" It was pretty funny. The first picture is Emma and Sydney taking a break.

My computer is the problem!

Okay, so I'm at my mom's to blog. The reason for this is to see if it would let me upload pictures, sure enough! The option is right here!! But my pictures are all at my house...so what am I to do?? I don't know. Maybe I'll start campaigning for a new computer? Just to show you all....here's a random picture...This was in my mom's photo's. This is my Maggie Moo at Aly's birthday party in 2007. I love this picture :)

?????

I can't figure out what the freak is going on with my computer. This whole week I haven't been able to view my blog, and now that I can, it won't let me post any pictures!! I'm gettng very frustrated...so stay tuned. There will be posts and pictures coming soon. At least it'd better be soon.
