Jaxon & Brooklyn's baptism

Today, I had the priveledge of attending a baptism for two of my favorite people. It amazes me on a daily basis how excited kids get about the littlest things. Jaxon got a football shaped CTR tie tack and you would have thought someone gave him an autographed Reggie Bush football. Brooklyn was most excited with a scripture bag that her cousin had made for her out of a placemat. They both received bath towels with their names embroidered in them along with the date. Jaxon was so excited that the writing was cursive. I love these kids so much and appreciate the Wood family adopting me as a part-time daughter.

You can see the smile on Jaxon's face over the cursive writing

Will it ever be spring?

So those of you living in Utah will understand this. Why does the weather warm up so nicely that you bust out your capris and sandals and then the next day it's snowing? I'm starting to wonder if we will ever have spring or if it will be winter, maybe summer, and then fall again. I gotta tell ya, I'm not thrilled with Mother Nature this month!

Tea & Crumpets initiation

So yesterday, in honor of "The Bachelor", Kim and I held our first ever "tea & crumpets" party. Kim bought some low-calorie-no-carb-sugar-free-nasty-as-all-hell apple stuff and donut holes. We ate donut holes until we were sick but there wasn't so much drinking of the "tea". I knew there was a reason I never liked tea and last night only confirmed my suspicions. Who attended our party? That would be Alisca and Kim, the only people worthy of the first taste of "tea & crumpets". We may add more folks later, but only if they don't know the secret of the "tea". The look on their faces will be worth it!

Easter weekend madness

I know Easter was a week ago, but I wanted to post these pictures of my extended family. We had a very busy weekend but also had a lot of fun.

Jaxon had fun playing in the sand
Jesse had more fun playing on the 4 wheeler trailer
Halle tried to stay out of the sand so she wouldn't get dirty
Grandpa and Grandma bought bubble guns and they had so much fun spraying Butch with the bubbles!
We had a wedding and 2 baby blessings also this weekend. This is me with Jenn's baby, TY
Here is me, Jenn, and Ty at Jenn's grandma's wedding

We're having tea and crumpets, bitches

So my roommate and I sometimes talk in fake British accents. Last night, after watching The Bachelor - London Calling, we decided that we needed to have a party for the finale. We talked about serving tea and crumpets. I didn't know what a crumpet was so when Kim told me it was similar in shape to a donut hole, I suggested that I would bring the "crumpets" known to Americans as donut holes and she was responsible for the tea (aka warm apple cider). While we were laughing about this situation, envisioning someone walking and asking us what we were doing, I said: "We're having tea and crumpets, bitches." This is now the quote of the week. Second place goes to: "She's a red-headed bitch and I hate her".

My life of drama and stress

So, my favorite roommate in the whole wide world is moving our April 15th. I am going to miss her greatly, but we will still be friends after she moves. This morning, I get a text from my other roommate letting me know that she will be moving out by this weekend (4 days away). I'm so frustrated because now I am stuck with the roommate that hates me (the feeling is mutual) and I have to find 2 replacement roommates. Kim has been amazing and is going to find a replacement for her by April 15th but I don't know what to do about the other room as I can't afford to pay the rent for 2 rooms. I'm so angry and stressed and it's going to make me sick to my stomach.

Sleeping at night is overrated

So apparently, I don't need to sleep at night. I can't seem to ever go to sleep when it's appropriate. I take naps after work and then when it's bedtime, I'm wide awake. It's a problem for sure but I don't know what to do about it. I guess I will just yawn at work all day and then come home to have a nap after work. Until I can finally sleep at night, this is my only option.
