Sending the Little Brother Off

We took Alex to the MTC yesterday! I still don't like the place! As if it isn't sad that you are sending your loved ones off for 2 years....they gotta play all of these family short clips and get you sad for the occasion! I think its done to torture poor mothers! I hope I have no boys....JK! I am pretty sure that he was sadder to leave his girlfriend though! Ha!Ha! He just hugged and left! I didn't even know he was really leaving until he wasn't there! Then I had to do some shopping therapy! PS I think I should own stock in Baby Gap cuz I am pretty sure that me and Pam can keep them afloat with our purchases alone! Ha! Ha! We were shopping for my little sister some maternity clothes! It was a total blast! How about they make Lucky Jeans for maternity!:) They are so cute! I will be investing in some of these for sure for my next baby for sure! I definitley feel like the stay puff marshmellow man while I am pregnant and there is nothing like comfortable cute clothes to make me feel better! I know that I am opening myself up to snide comments from Melissa and Angela with that statement right there! Ha!Ha! Go ahead and string me up guys! :)

Extended Weekends!

Extended weekends are my favorite...except when I have to go back to work on Tuesday! It will be nice this time though because I am taking off on Wednesday to take my little bro to the MTC with the fam! 3 day week! We had tons of fun over the Memorial Day...We went swimming at Downata it was bad weather but warm water so it worked out! :)We got Gracie water wings and she was ecstatic! She thought she was so cool going down the slide by herself! Then most of Spence's family was in town so Gracie got to play with her cousins. She had a blast!

Little Bro's Farewell

Yesterday was my little brother's farewell! I love it when we get together with my whole family! It is a blast! I am pretty sure I didn't stop laughing the entire night! Gracie is also starting to get to the point where she plays with other kids well! Bless this day! It can be any kid and I didn't have to police her the entire day! I always knew it was pretty normal for her to be whiny because a. she's a girl, b. she is an only child...and will be for still quite some time! :) But still there were others that didn't understand this...:) People kept asking me are you sad for Alex to leave? Isn't he just the best brother ever? I'm like maybe you don't know Alex...Alex Carlson...JK But I do love when the boys leave on their missions! Even when my brother Jake went for a few months they come just so nice! So respectful! This is why I am not sad for Alex to go because he will come home and not yell at my mom for running his truck out of gas(gas that she paid for) and continue to yell at her to fill up his car(which he doesn't own) Ya gotta love the baby of the family!

Mother's Day

Ya Gotta love Mother's Day! It forces men to fully appreciate you for a whole day! :)JK! I loved it Spence got me flowers and I just relaxed the entire day! I watched 2 movies! It rocked! I love to just vege! Who was the brilliant person that thought up this holiday? They Rock!

Scentsy

Hi everyone! So I am not for pyramids or selling stuff, but I just signed up for this candle company called Scentsy! I love having my house smell good but candles are like $25! These are wax melting pot and are re-usable! I love them! They have so many scents! Best of all they are CHEAP! After you buy your pot which runs electrically so you don't have to buy tea lights, they are only $5! It only cost me $100 to sign up too and they give you all of your product! It is a sweet deal and it started in Meridian Idaho! I am so not the pushy sales person but I do LOVE these! Their website is www.scentsy.net check them out and if you want to order let me know! Also if you are interested in selling them let me know! NO PRESSURE seriously! I will probably get my stuff early next week! Once you smell them you will understand my excitement! They are way inexpensive and better than tea lights and candles!

Finals Are Over!

I am so unbelievably pumped that finals are over! Spence has officially passed his first year of Pharmacy school! Yeah! We still have a ways to go but there is light! :) We also have another big event that happened yesterday! We got satellite! I officially have more than 3 fuzzy channels! I am so lame! My sister is having a baby! That is kind of fun news! I can play with her baby and then send it home! :) My brother Alex leaves on his mission at the end of this month to Frankfurt Germany! A little crazy! I wanted him to go somewhere really poor where he would have to shower with a bucket and crap like that just cuz he is such a pretty boy but oh well! :) We are going with him to the temple today! It will be great! Now that finals are over I am seriously whipping my big butt into shape! No exscuses about not having a baby sitter! Spence is it! I just thought I would share our good news!

Finals!!

I am so ready for finals to be DONE! I am not even taking any! :) But I am pretty sure that Spence has been up for 48 hours straight...yuck! One more to go! :)

A little something about the Adams' Family

First of all I hate saying Adams' Family for all those Adams Family jokes! Yes I can hear you making them now! :) We are STILL in school! When I say we I mean Spence...but I still need to talk to ISU about inserting my name on the diploma cuz I think I deserve it! Here's a quick recap. We were married in August 20, 2004 in the Bountiful Temple and shortly after in February got pregnant with our little girl Gracie. Long dating/engagment...instant Family! We were extremely terrified at first, but I couldn't picture us without her now. Spence was accepted to the Pharmacy program last year and has 3 years left now... He stays pretty busy so it's pretty much me and Gracie for the most part! Maybe a blessing in disguise that we had her cuz I needed a buddy! :) She is Spence's twin when you look at her but she has inherited most of my personality! Yep she is a big shopper! What have I created!? Well that catches us up for now!
