It hasn't been updated in a while because -gasp- my computer wasn't uploading my pictures. What? Mac issues? Shocker I know. But I've learned something. If I just leave my computer turned off and I don't touch it two weeks at a time, it'll work just fine when I finally turn it back on again. And sometimes when it's really bad and the "shut down" doesn't work, and I try to turn it off with the power button, and that doesn't work. I just have to unplug it for a few days and then it works fine.
So what we've been up to...
Well, my BYU girlfriends and I had an amazing girls night. This is us at an outrageous little restaurant that I won't mention the name of it for fear that you might google it and see how raunchy it is. But us girls liked the shock of it all. (only because our husbands weren't there)
Then I've been trying to come up with a good place to have a birthday party for Gwen. Her bithday is coming up soon, and since we'll be moving in about a month and a half, I wanted her to have a party with her friends. The problem is coming up with a good place. Peter Piper and Chuck E Cheese were obvious choices, but don't really cater to kids her age. So we were told of this place called Jeepers that is supposed to be so much fun for 4 year olds, just it's not as new and clean as PP and CEC. So we went to check it out and the kids loved it!
+ kids love it - not so clean
What do I go with?
I of course also thought of Amazing Jakes ($20/kid, I don't think so), and Glitter Box is a min of $350!!!
Any other suggestions all you savvy moms out there?
The kids:
Gwen's latest obsession: spending the night at GG's house. Every night she asks if she can, and she has the last couple of Fridays. She went miniature golfing with GG and Papa this last weekend, and the rest of the time she spends stamping cards with her. How are we supposed to move Gwenny from her GG?
Drake has been talking up a storm! His favorite word? "WHY"? Then he usually answers himself and says "cuz". He also likes saying "one, two, three, go!", "shoes on", "Gwen", "outside", "key" (kitty), "Diego", "cars", etc.
Us:
Ryan has been getting ready for school again. At least all the fun stuff. You know getting his new laptop, and searching for days for his new backpack for it. It's really pretty funny. Reminds me of how excited I'd get to start school when I was in grade school. I'll bet Ryan lays out all his clothes the night before too. ;)
Me. Well, I'm involving the kids on this one. We have what my grandpa would call "feral cats" living in our back yard. I'm working on being their friend so they'll trust me and I can eventually get them in the house! (Ryan's definitely not in on this, so don't tell him) So we bring out chopped ham for them to eat, run inside and then watch them eat it from out the window.

Oh, and what's that you've noticed in that last picture? Oh our TUMBLEWEED! When it started growing, we thought it was a tumbleweed and wanted to watch it grow big enough that it would eventually die and blow away. So it's an experiment now and we've got to see how it'll turn out. I'll let you know.In other news, my super duper cute cousin Crystal just had a beautiful baby boy.
Today is one of my dearest friends Meg's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
And... well, I guess that's all.
