Lil' Helper

This is what I get to have follow me around alllll day. Grant is always at my feet. I guess I shouldn't really complain cuz I always know where he is..but sometimes it's hard to get stuff done!

So I gave him and sponge and told him to get to work! He loved walking around and scrubbin' things down like Mama :)

South Hill Lights

Last Sunday our friends had a Christmas party and then we all went out to the lights at the South Hills.

It's just someone's house that they decorate like CRAZY all over their yard...I loved it.

The gang

Feeding the camel!

Brandon thought if he teased the camel with the carrot it would look at the camera...well it ate Grant's hand instead!!

Hahaha! He was freaking out and we were laughing (don't worry he was fine :)

Catch the spirit, ya'll!

Perfect for me...

I just wanted to write about my sweet husband tonight. He is the most amazing thing that could've happened to me. (Get ready for the cheese :) Today is just one example of all that he does for me: he wakes up at 6am and goes out into the FREEZING cold to the dairy. Grant usually sleeps until around 9 but today he was up and ready to go at 7:30. We all know I'm NOT morning person so I was not happy with this. I basically just laid him in bed with me and watched cartoons. Then when B came home for breakfast he could tell I was tired and took Grant out for me and fed him and let me sleep another hour. I had a rough day with Grant, he has been doing naughty things lately, not eating anything, follows me around on my heels alll day, and shattered one of my tree ornaments. When B came home from work he changed a poopy diaper (which just occurred, I promise I change my kid's diaper ;) and watched Grant for me so I could shower, (which is rare that I get to shower uninterrupted..Grant is always trying to climb in with me) Then after dinner, I was super frustrated cuz Grant would not eat anything except corn and cheese (suggestions for teaching your baby to not be a picky eater??) and then just started chucking his food all over the kitchen. I was done with it all and just went to my room to be alone. The next thing I know, Brandon has done the dishes, cleaned up, gave Grant his sippy cup, changed his diaper, and was coming in so I could kiss Grant goodnight. As I type this I can hear him singing and rocking Grant to sleep. I get teary eyed just thinking about all he does for me every day and literally without one word of complaint. He is the most selfless person I know and I still have no idea how I got so lucky...and why he wanted to marry this lazy bum :)

It bugs me when girl's seem to be in competition like "No, I have the best husband ever!" We all obviously think that about our husbands. But mine is just perfect for me :)

Thanksgiving

We got to spend Thanksgiving Day with the Andersen's in Burley. It was a full house, as always, but lots of chaotic fun!

I love this picture of Grant with sweet Grandma Roberts

Abbey and Rachel
Cute boys

Brandon with Lolly who was not into the whole picture taking at the moment ;)

The dreaded ping pong tournament ;)

Yeah, I lost barely to Trey....he's 8

But I DID beat Abbey :)

Brandon lost to Ben in the championship game...again

Then Grant and I went to Boise the next day where my parents and some siblings were.

The only pics I took were from bowling

Creeper Trever in the background..

Trev's lovely lady, Kaitlin

Skylar was nice enough to let Grant push the ball down on one of her turns

He was in heaven with all the balls everywhere!

And I couldn't wait to come home and decorate our little tree and add the cute bow ornaments I got from Tai Pan. So me, right?

So much to be grateful for this holiday season!!

Birthday Boy

B turned 26 on November 18th. Love that sweet man.

He even got to be spoiled by his mommy with her famous carrot cake :)

Help A Sista Out

Alright, I know I'm super behind on the blog and have lots to catch up on, but I just wanted to pop in and let all my sistas out there know that I have found the BEST foundation! My friend, Amber, from hair school had blogged about it, so I thought I best try it out and I LOVE IT. It's called "Revlon Photo Ready" and it makes your skin look so even, creamy, and just gorg. Oh and it has SPF 20 in it, cuz we all know you need to wear sunscreen EVERY DAY...riiight? People compare it to MAC's foundation, which most of us can't afford! I got mine at Target, give it a whirl.

(I wear level 004 Nude)

You can thank me later ;)

"guess why i smile a lot. uh. cuz it's worth it"

Anyone who really knows me will not be surprised that I just laughed for 4 minutes and 12 seconds...but also in the back of my mind wondered, what in the hay is going on right now?
