Statdium of Fire 2013

We were driving in the car and the hubs goes, "I have a surprise, I have two tickets for the stadium of Fire, one for you and one for a friend" I love his way of making it clear he did not want to go! Well I knew it would be a blast and called my sister to see if she wanted to go.  Of course she did, she would be crazy not to! 

 I especially love the patriotic beginning, it makes me all teary eyed and so grateful to be in this amazing country.

 Can you guess what song is being performed right now? Call me maybe!

Kelly Clarkston was AMAZING! homegirl can sing. I loved watching her.  Carly Rae Jepson was just ok.  It was fun to dance to her kits but she didn't have a lot of energy.  We had a great girls night and watched the biggest fireworks!

BYU Football

I did it! I went to my first BYU football game, after living here 6 years! We got front row seats with some of the hub's coworkers.  We rode bikes over with our friend Ed (pman's God-Father) and it was really fun...but soooo cold.  The game was amazing.  There was always some sort of entertainment right in front of me, great for my short attention span.  I loved watching the cougarets (?) and the cheer leaders.  They were really good.  I didn't know that a cannon went off every time they scored a touchdown, and the first time I screamed and covered pman, I honestly thought it was a mass shooting.  It really freaked me out.  everyone else was laughing hysterically (apparently they all knew about the cannon) I was trying to think how I could escape with my three year old alive. No joke.  Aside from that terrible experience, it was so much fun.  Pman made it to right before half time, then he fell asleep sitting up. I cuddled him into me and he slept the rest of the game away.  I even got a free shirt! I made sure we wore our cougar gear, I had a jersey that matched pman's (both the kid section on clearance!) and got Y stickers for our faces.  We really had a blast and are looking forward to the next game in November!

 Just look at this.  The hubs is actually smiling.  I don't think he could hide his excitement :)

 Pman pointed to this cheerleader and said, "I like her, she's cute" And so it begins my little man!

11 months

Hello World,

I am now 11 months (as of September 29th).  I am walking everywhere, at first it was very Frankenstein like, my parents call me frankenbaby.  But I've gotten a lot better at it.  I am a tall and slender little lady.  I love to talk, and play.  My favorite toys are my Jessie doll, my brothers Woody doll, any ball, my shopping cart, and any empty box I can get my hands on.  I am very fast.  If I know I'm doing something I'm not supposed to I will try and go faster, it's really cute.  I love to clap and play peek a boo.  I give lots of kisses.  I wave all the time, my cute little backwards wave.  I love to cuddle and will pat your back if I give you a hug.  I love Porter but sometimes he can be too rough and I get really mad.  My cry is very loud...just to be sure everyone can hear me.  I am very sensitive, sometimes my feelings get hurt more than I get actually hurt.  I walk everywhere and try to climb up things.  I still love the bath. I will kick my legs as fast as I can.  I want to do whatever the bigger kids are doing.  I love babies, which is funny to see because I'm not much bigger than they are.  I still love to eat, I will eat anything I can.  I really love peas.  I can be quite a flirt.  I have a very fun and social personality.  It's hard to believe that I will be one year old!!

Love,

Shirley

10 months

Hello World!

This is my 10 month update! I am growing like a weed ( a small very petite weed).  At nine months I wasn't gaining weight, my mom's milk wasn't high enough in calories so we started supplementing with formula.  I love it.  So much in fact, that I decided I was done nursing and was going to stick with the easy bottle.  It was the best all around.  My mom was sad for about half a day but it really has worked out the best for us.  At nine months I was standing and during my 10 th month I started walking.  I took my first steps on September 10th, three steps to my Mama (grandma).  And then there was no stopping me.  I love food and will eat any and everything.  I still don't have any teeth yet.  I am always putting things in my mouth and my mom has literally saved my life countless times.  She says I'm a dare devil.  I got my very own Jessie doll and love it.  I love to play with balls and anything that my brother is playing with.  I LOVE bath time.  I sleep with my binkie, but when I get mad I throw it out of the crib and then I get really upset.  I give kisses and say "da" for all done, sometimes mama and dada when I am talking to my mom and dad, most of the time it's just fun to say.  I wave to people and dogs and say "hiiiiiiiii" when I see someone.  I love to be silly and get tickled.  Sleeping is a little rough.  My brother usually wakes me up and then it's hard for me to get back into sleeping. I sure am loving life!

Love,

Shirley
