Lately

A Bad Purchase

So one day, I was bored and had heard good things about this Steve & Barry's place, so I decided to go see if they had anything cheap for Doug, because he never lets me buy clothes for him. So they had nothing...but they did have baby clothes and we've been trying to find lightweight sleepers for Weston and I found one. It looked really long and skinny, but then so is Weston. It was only ten bucks anyway. He is probably the skinniest baby I've ever seen and it did not fit him. Fortunately, I did not wash it before trying it on, which is what I usually do. We were laughing so hard and I just had to take a picture. Needless to say, I returned it the next day. (Don't mind our makeshift changing pad underneath)

Handle Bars...

This is my handsome hubby trying to hide from the camera and this is him with a sexy handle bar mustache. Don't worry, he only had it for about 5 minutes. When we were first married, he used to go in the bathroom for like 10 minutes and I wouldn't know what he was doing. Then he would come out "trying" to act normal and he had his hair slicked back like a vampire or he parted it on the side really dorky-like. Then at a recent family barbecue, my Uncle Craig told a story about Grandpa Briggs coming out when he had to shave his mustache off for temple work and he only shaved half of it off to see if Grandma noticed. They sat down to breakfast and she didn't even notice! We thought it was so funny and then when Doug was shaving off his two day beard, he came out trying to act normal, but we couldn't even stop laughing long enough to take the picture.

Wait a minute...

I think it's 10:00 PM and I think YOU, Mister, are supposed to be asleep! The flash doesn't show that it was dark so it was way funnier to us than to you. I walked in and said, "What is going on in here?!"I was really mad, but not really, because I was laughing. One thing about Weston is he is SO loud everywhere we go and he gets sooo excited about EVERYTHING! And I try to whisper and teach him to use our "inside voice", but I don't want to inhibit his personality, because I have a feeling it is going to be huge. I love this kid, he's crazy.

Happy Bday mr. luva luva!

Happy Birthday yesterday to my man Dug E. Fresh, the Freshness! He is such a good husband and father that he is "celebrating" his birthday week by working at the outdoor retailer's show which is not fun at all. He got to see Weston for about 5 minutes this morning and that's the most all week.

I just wanted to give a shout out to Doug and why I love him so much. The fact that he will work probably at least 45 hours in three days not to mention 2 days at his normal job, just so we can get ahead a little in the finances :) & again next week, yucky.

He is such a good dad! I love that he called me the other day and said, "Oh, I can't wait to come home and put Weston on my shoulders." To which I replied, "What? Where did that come from?" He said, "I was just looking at his picture and can't wait to hear him laugh when I get home." Now if that isn't the cutest!

Someone told me a few years ago, "My son needs to find a girl like you to marry. Someone who enjoys sports as much as you do." I went on to explain that her son just needed to be more like Doug. He explains sports so well and tells me about all the players and their lives to make it so interesting.

He has put off school so much just to support our family. And, fingers crossed, he'll finish this year!

He is so strong in the Church and helps me whenever I'm feeling down.

When I was pregnant, stupid Mooja ate my shuffle and I bawled! Doug gave me his shuffle, which we have yet to replace.

He gets along with everyone in my family! & they adore him! In fact, I think Doug's best quality is that he is such a people person, everyone he meets thinks he is just about the coolest, which is probably true!

The only thing I don't like is that he no longer laughs at my jokes. I think he just pretended he thought I was funny so I would marry him. Oh well, Weston thinks I'm funnier than him hehe. I love you Doug Happy Birthday!

Happy Babies!

Lisa blessed us with a visit to SLC for her friend's wedding and Mickell and I took advantage and through her a shower. We had quite a turnout, Lisa and her twinners are popular! Here are some pics...
This is a framed pic of the twins' ultrasound pictures and a letter from Adam that was REALLY cute and almost made ME cry :)
Also, I had 2 pictures of cute lil' lisa that said, "What's better than one Lisa? TWO!" with some green and pink jelly bellies that we were eating for days after.

Lisa's friends Caisa and Mickell got her matching pea coats and pink beanies. They were too cute. This is just one or should I say "two" of the cute matching outfits that she received.










Cute clothesline from all the siblings.






Party favors with Lisa's due date: strawberry mentos and, of course, double mint gum ;)



And last, but definitely not least THE FOOD with my mom's FINE recipes of mini dulce de leche cheesecakes and spinach artichoke dip, my fave, yum! I have yet to email my cousins who requested the recipes. I will, I promise.


And here is Lisa's big belly and here is Lisa with Weston. Thank you to everyone who came, we had a blast with the games and food and seeing old friends! & Thanks to Jamie for all the fab ideas. The memory game was a blast (see Lisa's blog).
