I WIN!!

It is not too often that I can beat Chandler at a game, especially a video game, but last night we decided to play a game of Monopoly. And I KICKED HIS TRASH!!! Oh man it was a complete slaughter, and I'm not ashmed to admit that I enjoyed every minute of it.

My Poor husband, Not happy with the outcome of the game...

This is an upclose shot of the game, the bottom is all mine and the left side of the board is Chandler's. He landed on one of my properties hat had $ houses on it and went completely bankrupt, he couldn't pay even after mortgaging ALL of his properties. It was wonderful.

I hope I don't sound conceded and rude, but it really was so fun. He was a good sport about it all. I am blogging about it because in the future I want my children to know that there was a day when I did beat dad at a game, long long ago. I promise it does not happen very much, and when it does it is not a slaughter. Therefore, I feel quite entitled to gloat, just this once. I'll have you know that we played scrabble after this and he kicked my trash, beat me by over 100 points. lol. P.S. a note for my brothers, I did not even cheat!! thank you.

Now for an update on my beautiful baby! She is growing soooo fast!! I can't stand it. She is about 8 1/2 months now and today she stood up using the couch and took 2 steps all on her own!!! Unfortunately I did not witness this event, I am sick and was in bed asleep. But it's amazing none the less. Also, an addition to her list of accomplishments, she has begun clicking her tongue, it's so cute, she crawls around clicking her tongue to herself. Can I just say that I love being a mom!?! It's amazing to see this once TINY baby grow and learn at an amazing rate. it is humbling.

Ears & Hair...

That's right! I got Aubri's ears pierced!! Her ears are so cute!!! I went with Rachael on Tuesday to the South Towne Mall and pierced our daughter's ears. So fun. This is a "Before" picture of my daughter, she has no idea of what lies ahead... :)


Here are Aubri's stinkin' cute pearls!! Yes, she has Pearls!! She did so good too, she only cried for a few minutes, then I found a mirror and that took her mind off it. She looks so cute I can't stand it!!
That was our most recent adventure. A couple days before the ear piercing I put Aubri down for her morning nap and when she woke up her hair was so fluffy and messy! Oh man itas killing me, so I took some pictures.

She gets so interested in the camera when I take pictures of her, so Itook an up close and pesonal pic. :)

She was in such a good mood after her nap too, she was all smiles it was fun.

What a face! Oh my she kills me!

So this was another adventure...I made dinner, again! Adam and Michael and thier families came over for dinner, it was fun, but I definately need more chairs!! Our dinner consisted of white rice, chicken, broccli, grapes, and blueberry muffins! different, but yummy none the less.

I had to be creative with side dishes because I accidently asked Adam AND Mom to bring drinks, silly me.

Scrapbooking...

I have finally, once again found the time (12:00am) to start scrapbooking again!! I have been working on baby announcements, since there have been so many within the last year or so. I think this is a fun way for Aubri to see all the kids who were born at or around the same time as her.
Here are some of my latest creations.

I am still working on Keija's and Sarah, if you still have an extra of Chaucer's I would love to have it!!

I'll keep this short and sweet! Bye!

1/2 Birthdays and Such...

Today is January 3rd and is officially my Half Birthday!! Woo Hoo, I am 22 1/2 years old. LOL. That was my main reason for writing today. JK.

I am a lover of Birthdays!! I dont care really whose birthday it may be I just love to celebrate. My husband became well aware of this when we were dating. It was his birthday and I asked him what he wanted, he told me "nothing, do not get me anything, I will be mad if you do." I pretended like I didn't hear him and got him a couple things and decorated his room, and took him out to dinner. :) He really liked it but didn't want to admit it.

Anywho...So far the new year has started off wonderfully, we got our car fixed, bills paid, and Utah won the Sugar Bowl ending with a Perfect Season! 13-0!!!! We had a lot of fun watching the game at dad's house...

Aubri is a BIG Utes Fan! LOL She was uber excited that the Utes won! :)

A glimpse of the future?? I honestly hope NOT!! LOL Oh this kills me.
