Goggle Day

I got some goggles at Costco the other day. Cole was soooo excited about his new goggles that he wore them all night.
Geof. was excited too.





And so was June. She LOVES Cole. Whenever she sees him she kicks her legs like crazy and starts squealing. They really have a sweet relationship.
Since we had new goggles, we decided to go down to the river to try them out. The river was pretty high and pretty cold, so naturally, Cole got in and the rest of us (along with a good group of drunk collegers) watched our crazy boy in amazement. We love you Cole!!!!

...almost done

9. I have one math class left until I get my Associates and I'm pretty nervous about signing up for an online class. That's my only option right now with Geof.'s schedule. I keep putting it off and I need to just do it! Alright, I'm done talking.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

My cousin Kaisa did this fun post with this pic of an owl with the words "Blah blah blah" across the front. Since I don't know how to post images yet (I know, crazy), this will have to do. Anyway, it was just a list of some random things she was thinking about and possibly needed to blog about in order to clear her head. Here's the inside of my head:

1. Cole hates going to school. I'm really struggling with this because I'm just ready to yank him out even though he just had 2 weeks off and just yesterday, we didn't make him go since Geof. was home. He complains a ton before school, but seems happy afterward. And there's only a month left. I guess I just feel a little guilt that he's only in preschool but it's ALL day EVERYDAY here!! However, kindergarten is all day, everyday, and maybe this is a good way for him to prepare.

2. My hair is pretty dang cute right now. I was gonna have Geof.'s sister Ellynn put some more blond in it when we were in Utah but she told me to just leave it alone (since I am trying to go natural). Thanks for the advice Ellynn. The color is really pretty and when I actually do it, the length and everything just looks great. Yet, because I love my husband, and he LOVES long hair, I will continue to grow it out.

3. My house is never clean. I don't know if we're just accumulating more and more stuff, but this little 2 bdrm apt. seems filled to the rim. I can't stand it! My bedroom is NEVER clean because that's where everything goes when I'm trying to clean before someone comes over. I'm trying to just deal with it and not freak out. I do have 3 kids in a cramped space.

4. I have ultra sensitivities (thanks to my mom's mom) with my skin. Therefore, it drives me a little nutty that my post prego belly is still there. Does it EVER go away after kids? It's just this extra skin that hangs over my pants when I sit down, jiggles like crazy when I'm dancing or laughing, and if I do ever want to wear a form fitting shirt, I have to make sure my pants are high enough that the waist isn't cutting me right in the middle of the bulge.

5. Geof. loves me. I do realize how big that is for me to be able to say that. Many women aren't too sure of their husbands/boyfriends true feelings. I'm pretty sure Geof. thinks I'm hot (he tells me at least once a day) and I don't even know why I complain about my body so much. He HATES it when i talk about it all day (another thing I got from my mom) and loves me for what I am. He's truly my best friend.

6. We're not sure if we're gonna buy a home yet because the market keeps dropping. Geof. doesn't want to spend more than $1000/month which is a huge jump up for him. Sadly, things around here are a tad more than that. Unless we want to live in another 2 bdrm apt. I don't know what to do.

7. Dayne whines morning, noon, and night. Mostly morning. Geof. said she got that from my mom too (sorry mom! It IS a Sellers' trait though!). She has been feeling under the weather lately, but come on!! This has been going on for too long! I want a happy 3 yr. old for peets sake (sp?)!

8. I love Richmond. Who knew? Geof. and I agree that we could live here forever (but we won't).
June turned 10 months yesterday. Geof. had her in Elder's Quorum on Sunday and there was another 10 month old doing the army crawl all around the room. Geof. came out after church and seemed pretty concerned that June ONLY sits and doesn't really do much else. I assured him that she's fine, and that I'm pretty okay that she doesn't have much interest in crawling yet. I mean, once they're crawling, they get dirtier, they get into things..., it's MUCH easier this way. (:


June's so dang cute that she's rarely set down on the ground. And when she is, it's only for a moment.

A gift from Grandma

I tried typing up a cute blog about my wonderful mother-in-law and her wonderful quilts, but my brain (as usual) just isn't working. We received this beautiful quilt from Grandma Le Anne today for Dayne's birthday. We are so blessed to have such a good seamstress (is that the right word) for a Grandma! Dayne and June haven't been feeling well today, so they happily snuggled up under it for the pic.
Thank you again Grandma Dana!

Three years already??

Happy birthday to my sweet 3 yr. old Dayne Dorothy!! We are so blessed to have a personality like you in our family. You are getting so big and soo funny!! You love to sing and could sing all day with that low, raspy voice of yours. And you love to dance too! Every time we're in the car you want to listen to music. And as soon as we get home, you go straight to the stereo and turn it on and dance! I love it! We hope you are happy with us as your parents. We know we still have a lot to learn about you and how to go about saying things right so we don't hurt your feelings so often. We love you Dayners!
The grad, Geof. and June

Lucky us, we even got to see Ramsey for a bit who just got back from New Zealand and Fiji. Poor kid...












The kids and I went to our old ward in Provo Sunday morning. The mountains, the clear sky, the sun..., it was such a glorious (yes, I'm using that word) morning. I just had to take a pic out of the car window.
The only pic we got of Ellynn and Jason. WHy?? I don't know!! I know Ellynn will love me for posting this though. (:
