You've got to see this!

I am sorry but when I saw this I laughed my head off. You have to be famillar with Suze Orman. I personally cannot watch her real show without laughing, she is full of it! This is the funniest parody I have seen on SNL in a long time. I love Kristen Wiig, the actress that plays her and Penelope. Hillarious.

KNOCK OUT!!!!

All I have to say is, HOLY CRAP, THIS KID CAN SING! I literally cried tonight (pathetic, I know! ) watching David Archuleta sing his heart out! In the David vs. David match, David Archuleta clearly WON! I cannot wait to see the finale tomorrow night!

Who are all of these kids, and why are they calling me Mom?

Happy Mothers Day!
I am grateful for my mother and her love and support throughout my whole life. I truly appreciate all she did and does for my brothers and I. I am constantly learning from her example. I love to be Thatcher and Taggart's mom, they are two of my greatest blessings, and I never knew you could love two rambunctious little boys as much as I love them. I hope everyone has a restful and wonderful Mothers Day!

Yippy!


Congrats to my brother Jonathan and his fiance Rebecca who got "officially" engaged last night! We are so excited for them and I cannot wait to have a sister in law! We have been out numbered for far too long! It has been really great getting to know Rebecca these past couple days and Jon and Rebecca make such a cute couple. My boys absolutely adore her, and so she is going to make such a great Aunt! They are getting married August 23 in the SLC temple, and we are excited for their big day. Yay!

Where we have been...

It has been almost one month since I have blogged last...YIKES! We are still alive and doing very well, but we do not have our camera with us here in Rhode Island and life is pretty much in limbo land right now, so there has not been much to blog about. I cannot believe that we have been here for one month, and we have two and a half weeks to go before Todd joins us. Time has gone by really slow! Here are a few things that are keeping us busy!



Every day the boys and I (when weather permits) pack up the stroller and go for a four mile walk. It has been really good for a number of reasons, and what started out as a desperate attempt to get two active kiddos out of the house has turned into something I really look forward too. We walk two miles one way to a little playground and the boys play for about a half hour and then we walk back. During the walk I either listen to my ipod or talk to Todd (I LOVE my new blue tooth, a definate MUST for phone talkers!) The daily walks have been great exersise and it has been great to get outside in this beautiful spring weather.


I am taking a Wilton cake decorating class on Wednesday nights and it is a blast! I really like it and I am hoping to get good enough to do wedding cakes for a little extra money on the side. One of the best things about my class is sitting and listening to my instuctor speak with a thick Rhode Island accent. Whenever I come home I have to readjust my ears to the accent around here. Last night she was talking about almond extract and was pronouncing almond ALmend, saying Al like you would a guys name.



I have also been doing this while I have been here. Let me tell you, this workout kicks my bum! It is really hard, but really fun. It has great music to it, so it is almost like my own private little dance party every night. It is great to kickbox when you have had a day fighting toddlers to get them in the car, eat, take naps, pick up toys, ect ect ect.


And yes I have been enjoying the last couple weeks that I have access to a DVR...

Bring it home David, it is in the bag...

Three words...twice. Best. Show. Ever. AND What. the. freak?! I cannot handle these future flashes anymore!

So pretty much that is what we have been doing over the last month. Right now my brother and his soon to be fiance ;) (more on that later this weekend!) are here this week with us and it has been really fun having a full house. We miss Todd and we are excited for him to make the drive from Tucson to Rhode Island and be reunited on the 24th. We are VERY excited and anxious to move to Boston and get this party started!

This is really funny. I love this new girl on SNL. Everything I have seen her do is hillarious. We all know people like this.
