I got tagged by Barbara to look at my 4th picture file, and then the 4th picture in that file. Here it is! I thought for sure it would be a picture of Collin, but its a picture of me with a birthday cake on my head... who would have thought :) this is my last birthday, when I turned 23. I was 6 months pregant with Collin at the time, although you can't tell. Chase and I are not huge cake fans, and since our birthday's are 5 days apart we decided to make two small cakes out of one cake mix. Amazingly enough, we still didn't eat all the cake and had to throw some of it away. Maybe next year we'll learn and just make cookies or something...

Roll over!

So this morning while I was getting Collin ready for a bath, he finally rolled over! I was so excited I started yelling for Chase to come and see. I flipped him over on his stomach and he did it again! We were a little worried that he was too fat and lazy to ever do it :) but we're just glad he finally decided to go ahead and roll over. Hope you enjoy the cute video!

Teddy Bears

I took some picture of Collin with his teddy bears the other day, and I thought they turned out pretty cute :)

I know it isn't Thanksgiving yet, and I promise I love Thanksgiving, and I will post pictures of Collin in his Thanksgiving sleeper (each foot has the word gobble written on it... so cute :) ) but I just wanted to say how excited I am to dress Collin up in his Santa outfit that I'm making (I'm even making a little pillow to put in for a belly). I'll have it done on Monday (since Provo City is apparently shutting our power off from 9-5. Lame.) but I promise I won't post any pictures until next Sunday :) I decided I should take advantage of this time and dress Collin up in all the things I want him to wear because I know this is short lived and in just a few years he'll be putting up a fight to wear his ninja (or something of the sort) outfit everyday...

I'll probably do one more post if I think of something to write about, but then I'll be off for a week in Arizona! Yeah!! We're leaving Tuesday night and just driving through the night so that Collin will hopefully sleep. Then we'll drive home Saturday night all night. Fun fun....

Car's

So we made our last payment on our car Friday. So what did I do today? Look online for a new car :) Chase and I are planning our trip down to Snowflake for Thanksgiving and are worried about having enough room for everything. It was tight enough when it was just the two of us (it doesn't help that Chase has to bring a pair of shoes for each day we are there....) and now that we have Collin I keep thinking "I can't go a week without his high chair!" or "he needs 4 outfits for each day!" :) Plus this trip we are giving a ride to Chase's cousin, which I am really happy to do (I was telling Chase the other day that I feel like so often I'm just living, I'm not doing anything to help anyone else, or to better my life or anyone else's. So I'm really glad to have this chance to think about someone other then me.) so we will need to fit her suitcase in. Also, we have to bring presents down for Christmas for the family members we have and take presents back home with us. SO. I decided that someday, probably in the next year or so, we need a car with more trunk space. We're hoping to get a small SUV, but something will good gas mileage since we will be traveling with it so much. But I still have my problem with this trip and fitting everything in. But I'm sure it will all work out, even if we have to strap Collin's high chair to the roof!



This is a-
2008 Ford Escape Hybrid 4D Sport Utility
This is the car I want, but its kind of expensive

This is a-
2006 Toyota RAV4 Sport 4D Sport Utility

I don't have any idea how much room this car actually has but it gets good gas mileage, and Chase really likes how it looks...

Jump

This is a new jump-a-roo that my mom bought for Collin. He likes it now, which means (I hope) that he will really like it in a few months :) He mostly just spins around and eats it right now.

Sunday Dinner

So every Sunday Chase and Collin and I go over to my parents house for dinner. Sometimes its just a quick dinner with a few people there, and sometimes just about everyone shows up. Tonight it was us, Becca's brother Dave and the people who live at my parents house (my mom & dad, brother Stuart with kids Katrina and Aiden, brother Rich & and his wife Becca with kids Kaley and Tyler). In the middle of dinner Katrina announced that "they feed the chickens we are eating". Stuart was like, what are you talking about?? That's not true. (they had feed chickens earlier, so Trina assumed...) So then Aiden had to make an announcement, which meant Kaley had to make one too, but they wouldn't make it until everyone was quite. So they kept saying (yelling) Shhhh!, and everyone was quite except those two. It was so funny. I love spending time with my family, especially Sunday dinners. Chase and I have had to leave earlier now with Collin since its during his bed time and he is awake the whole time. But its fun to be there while we can. I have to admit this is one thing I will miss a lot when we move. I guess Chase will have to make lots of money so we can visit often :)

Ikea

Can anyone explain the new Ikea commercials to me? They really creep me out. Whats with the lady with the low raspy voice talking to these people like a ghost? Is she the ghost of Ikea? She just comes along with all the kitchen stuff? Really though, I find them quite weird.

I really like (most of) the Sonic commercials. Caption Cheddar :)
