living room camp out

Jason had his tent set up in the living room when I got home from Spanish Fork on Saturday cause he was letting it dry out from his camp out. We decided to keep it up and have an indoor camping experience. Well, here it is Monday night and we are still camping out. It's not everyday you have a tent in your living room...you've got to take advantage of stuff like that. This will be our last night roughing it,(we have not been home much during the day and have been getting home late every night and have not bothered taking it down), but it has been really fun. Jason is nice to indulge my weirdness.

weekend in the U.C.

Owen and I headed down to Spanish Fork for the weekend and we had a really great time! Jason was on a campout and I am not a big fan of being alone(I'm not scared, I just like company). Friday night we went and watched Alexa play softball. She is good! After her game we had a little photo shoot in the back of the van. I like us!

Crazy boys! These boys make me laugh! Alex, Owen and Maxwell.

Alexa and Alex ditched on Friday night to hang with their dad so it was Ang, Rich, Max, Owen and I. We went to 'Get Smart'. I am going to have to go again cause Owen didn't fall asleep, pretty much sucked. Then Ang and I stayed up til 4am talking. That was my favorite part. I have known Angela for 26 years and I think I learned more about her that night than I really ever knew. Loved that. Saturday we chilled. We rented movies, ate nachos, donated blood and went to a shoe party. Owen and Max were friends most of the time(when Owen was not crying). They are cute. We bought them twin muscle shirts.

It was a great time and I will be doing it again soon!

I want my Owen back!!!

Wow...Owen has been so cranky these last few days with a really snotty nose. I am really hoping that he is just getting new teeth, cause I really miss my sweet, laid back, happy little man!

Seriously O, you have got to stop! Saturday he was crazy...laughing with Maxwell one minute, crying his eyes out the next, a very sad, very pathetic cry. He was tired and probably had a stomach ache(just guessing from the 5 poopy diapers I changed), but still so out of character for him. Sunday he was just naughty. Not eating. Crying when he was told no or didn't get what he wanted. Crying cause he was using the sign for 'more' with his hands, but no one had any idea what he wanted more of...aye aye aye(whoever taught him to sign 'more'...you bug!)

I realize that it could be much worse, but I have had it pretty easy with him and I would like that to continue. Please bless this is only a fluke and that he will have more teeth soon and will be my Owen again asap!

Book Review

Loved it! Just as good, maybe better the second time around. I love Jacob Black and his happiness. He is just laid back and so easy going. I could totally be friends with him. SPOILER ALERT!!! As much as I hate losing Edward in this book(he's just not around for most of it) I think Jacob makes up for it. I am still totally routing for Edward though!

Book Review

This book was so-so for me. I liked it, definitley didn't love it but it was a fast read. I just found out that it is the 4th book in a series called The Women's Murder Club. I don't think I was interested enough in this one to go out and get the first three. I think that James Patterson is a great author. I have read a few of his other books. He definitley grabs your attention right from the beginning. However, I didn't find myself engrossed in this story or it's characters and I was not thrilled with the ending. Overall I would say if you are looking for a murder/mystery quick read, this is a good choice. An okay summer read.(click on the book if you want a summary of the book series)

can we make this last forever?

We went to Bear Lake on Saturday. Just me, Jas and Owen. Owen went to the lake a few times last year but he was tiny and did not enjoy it that much. This time...he loved it. He liked digging in the sand the best. He got hit in the face with a wave, so he was not a fan of the actual lake. He liked sitting in the warm water right before you get to the lake. The little pools that are a little mushy on the bottom and have white foam around the edges...kinda creeps me out. That was nice though, cause I could sit back and enjoy my book without worrying about him running into the lake. I read my book and walked out in the water and Jason built stuff in the sand. It was a perfect day and I wished we could've stayed the rest of the summer!

We got home and cleaned up, went and got a pizza, played with Owen, put him to bed and then Jas and I watched the movie The Invisible. Hated it! Wow, it was an hour and a half long but felt like it was three hours long. It just dragged and could have been done so much better. I did appreciate seeing new faces in the movie. Not great actors, but not bad. Oh well, it was still a really great day.
