Happy St. Patty's Day!



Havn't really worn green all day but wasn't planning on going anywhere today. SO...., instead I decorated one of our boiled eggs and made some green crepes.
Looking back I wish I would've gone crazy and dressed Beckham in a Leprechaun suit or something?...I mean, come on, my kid has red hair. Then we could've danced and played and danced oh hoe!?


Gone Swimmin'



Beckham and I decided to get out and go take a dip in the local pool. He absolutely LOVED it. When we walked into the building, he could see the pool and the bazillions of kids through the glass. This immediately triggered a crazy spaz out and he began yelling baby gibberish and making the "bath" sign over and over. It was pretty funny actually. So, we swam with most of our towns kids and then OF COURSE ended up being evacuated because of a few brown floaties. GAH. It probably was just a giant potty.

Making the rounds with ROCK BAND.

This game is has been getting some good usage and has been very entertaining so far. I took it too my parents house and played with my ma and sister shelly until the WEEE hours of morn. My mom cracks me up. I wish I had video of us playing because we are good. haha. I'll admit, it is hard sometimes not to get into it, But..more than a few times Ma threw out some cuss words while pounding the drums. This mom is a Guitar Hero Champion so the drums were not going to get the best of her.

The next Rock out was in Kamas for yet another great mutual activity. I promise we do spiritual uplifting things also...and this was about increasing our talents and working together. YES, that's it, very well justified. haha. The entire group had a blast and not one of them had played it before SO, not only great, but another 1st for everyone. One of the girls could play Level Hard on the drums, which is quite a feat.

*Ok and this should be the last Rock Band post, considering the slight nerdiness I'm feeling as I reread this. OH well. GOOD times should be shared.

THE Heidsters Big Day!


Heidi and Jason make such a cute couple, that you can't help but think of how CUTE their little babies will be...
The temple sealing, Luncheon and then reception makes for a very long day. I forget how jam packed a wedding can be. It's almost too much for just one day. The whole thing turned out great, EXCEPT for where I was the sickest, mouth breather, spoon feeling face EVER. It was ridiculous. Thanks to my patient husband and cough drops we made it through.
It was also fun to see some of my friends that I hadn't seen in forever. These are a few of our pics from the day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!

I turned a Woppin' 26 on Tues the 4th and I am now closer to the 30's than the 20's. Now that is a little strange?! I've been driving for 10 whole years and married for almost 5. Which means what??? ..idk, I guess that I'm licensed to drive my husband crazy? haha. Anyways, the Times They Are A Changin....and I've enjoyed each season and change as it's come and gone. Life has treated me pretty good!

For my big day... I went to lunch with my friend Heidi, that lives here in town. I was hesitant whether to go or not because Beckham wasn't feeling too well but another friend of mine offered to watch him and that in itself was an awesome bday present. I felt bad for the little guy but did it ever feel nice to get out and relax on my own.

Once Dave got home from work he gave me a huge homemade card and my present. This year I wanted to tour the world with a Rock Band of my own...so, my wish came true. ROCK BAND in XBOX 360 form. I had never played it before but had played Guitar Hero plenty and was ready for some new instruments to master(this one has drums, bass, guitar and vocals)...If you'd like to join my band, I'm ready to bring you along. NEXT stop...Amsterdam.

SO, I've got another form of entertainment and definately another Sweet young womens activity. haha.

-The day was filled with calls, emails, texts and cards, which I thank everyone for.
-Dave and I went to a great dinner while mom watched Beck
-Brownies and icecream for dessert with the fam
-and...a crying baby all the way home. *Come to find out he has TWO ear infections along with a cough and runny nose. POOR GUY.

Here are a few pics and a short video of my playing some real drums.
