Making Faces

I love making faces at Dace. Sometimes he makes them too. Whether they are on purpose or not, I don't know. But I love it anyways. Here are some recent pictures of Baby Vader. I'm sure thats what you all wanted.

5 Generations

Some people never know their grandparents. I am lucky enough to know my Great-Grandma. That means Dace knows his Great-Great-Grandma. I have such a fantastic family and was able to marry into one just as amazing! From left to right: Mommy (Me), Grandpa (Scott), Great-Grandma (Jean), Dace, and Great-Great-Grandma (Inez)

My little man in his blessing outfit. Doesn't he look so handsome?

One Month

One Month Old! We've loved having this little guy in our lives. Thank you Auntie Natha for taking such great pictures to help us remember the first couple of weeks with him.

Mom Bag

Day 25: What's in your purse? Um... A lot! In fact, it's been lovingly nicknamed my Mom Bag! I love my Yankee Purse. My husband does not, but still hangs out with me when I carry it.

Here's a sampling of what's in it. My wallet (of course!), Coupons (need to clean the expired ones out), Toothbrush (with toothpaste inside), a Car Charger for my phone, Pretzels, M&M's (inside an Oreo container), Sunglasses, Headphones (for my iPod I usually forget to bring along), Hand Sanitizer, Costco Card (yes, it should be in my wallet, but it's just floating), Real Salt Lake Tickets (to the Seattle Sounders game in 2009), Chap stick, and a gazillion other things.

You Are My Sunshine

Cutest Kid Ever? I think so.

And to think, he came into our lives just 4 weeks ago! It's amazing how fast time flies. Thank you, Dace, for falling asleep in a position in my arms that leaves my hands free to type this. I love you little man!

Best Moment from 2010 Season

As Promised, here was my favorite moment fro the 2010 season. We had sat thru 3 quarters of bitter cold and terrible play. We were rewarded with an amazing TD catch and this block in the 4th quarter to win it for us. Being there in person makes it that much more meaningful (only because my voice still hasn't come back all the way) and will be one of the stories I share with Dace when he starts going to the games with us. I hope you have all cleared your schedules for this weekend and sit down to enjoy some games. If your thinking you are gonna wait till Saturday to watch any games, I would like to remind you TCU takes on Baylor Friday night in what is sure to be one of the better games of the weekend. So enjoy your weekend and know that I am.

Tonight's Game

Here is a little promo spot for tonight's game, and in case you couldn't tell, I am a little excited it is college football Season!
