This is something that Josh started doing a few weeks ago. We couldn't resist sharing.

Tis the season
For the past month Josh has been teething. These are his first teeth (the two on the bottom), and they have taken so long to come in! He's been snotty-nosed, tired, cranky, sick, and down right unhappy a lot of the time. Ryan and I told ourselves that once his teeth poked through he'd be alright, but now I think he might have the flu....his eyes have been really really gunky, he's got a croupy cough, and he's thrown up twice (big time stuff) during the week.
Anyway, I would feel really bad for us if Josh were the only baby to ever be sick, but most of our friends have had it this bad or worse with their kids. I guess teething and sick-bugs are the babies' right of passage, huh? All I know is that I've definitely underestimated my mother's patience, ability to function on lack of sleep, and love. Thanks mom!
Ode To Blake & Brad
First I have to thank Rustin, who has to thank Heather for this clip. This is an amazing beauty pageant, but this lady is even more amazing! I couldn't resist adding it. I can totally see Blake or Brad doing something like this. I mean, you gotta utilize your talents, right?
Tag is no fun when you're it!

10 years ago: I was in 7th grade, with Mrs. Johnson as my homeroom teacher. I'll bet that makes a lot of you feel old....Makes me feel a bit young!
5 things on my to-do list today:
1.Go to church
2. Write in my journal (I have to tell myself to do it)
3. Take a nap (don't you just love Sundays?)
4. Host a dinner
5. Call family to catch up
I enjoy: Lots of things, just like most of you. I love to watch the Biggest Loser....if they can bust their tail, so can I, right? I enjoy taking walks with Josh. I love to spend time with Ry when he's done with school work, singing to Josh or myself, playing the piano, exercising to energizing music, dancing (too bad Ryan hates to dance!), etc. etc.
What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Tithing, donations, get a makeover of my wardrobe (professionals needed), pay off dental school, travel......man, I think that's good enough for right now since we're pretty far off from billionaire status.
3 of my bad habits:
1. Nagging (Don't comment, Ryan...)
2. Pulling my mascara off my eyelashes instead of washing it off
3. Getting up with Ry before he goes to school at six then going back to bed (I know it sounds crazy, but I could probably get a lot more done)
5 places I have lived:
1. Missoula, MT (For my first year of life)
2. Cedar City, UT
3. Ogden, UT
4. Monterey, CA (only for a summer, but I'm counting it!)
5. New York, New York
5 jobs that I have had:
1. McDonalds (yes, I worked there)
2. Del Sol
3. Weber State Dance office assistant
4. Wells Fargo (I don't like to talk about it....) :)
5. Ross (Again, I don't like to talk about it)
5 Things people don't know about me:
1. I am actually Native American
2. I was in the film "Fiddler on the Roof"
3. I am a Democrat
4. I am actually 34 (good genes)
5. I am a good liar and very clever
I tag: Aubrie, Katie, Heidi, Kristin, and Erin.

Fun in New York
Okay, in response to that last post, the centipede was huge! I also think Ryan would have had different story if it had been a cockroach. He would have been calling me for help!
We had some friends (with their fun wives) from dental school come over. Here Ryan and Rustin are trying to perfect their "look".
We took a trip to the Staten Island Zoo for MLK day. It was pretty fun. They actually walked a cat out around where we were at. I know, simply amazing!
Anyway, I thought it was time to post some more pictures of our goings on in Staten Island.

Josh absolutely loves it when Ryan comes home to play with him. Thank goodness for dads!
