What to wear?
Who doesn't go grocery shopping in the middle of August wearing a Spiderman costume (with rain boots I might add).
Finally!
We are finally done with our basement. Well we have a few touch ups here and there and a few things to fix...but for the most part we are done! Thank Goodness! But now that we are done...I never want to go down there, we spent way too much time down there and it is so damn cold. But here are some pictures of the outcome of our blood, sweat and tears.

Here is our cute new family room. Brooke did a faux finish on two of the walls that I love.


Here is my super dirty laundry room.

Owen's soon to be new bedroom. He wants us to move his stuff down there now...but he won't even watch TV by himself.

The bathroom...do you love the fan wire thingy hanging down. I wonder when Chris will get that fixed.

The other little room. I think it will be my scrapbook room that comes equiped with an eliptical...that is if I can talk Chris into buying me one.

He Survived!
So Owen has been signed up to take swimming lessons like 4 times...and 3 of the times I postponed. I have a serious fear of him and water...probably because he loves it. I make him wear a life jacket and floaties...actually he just wears the life jacket now. So you can imagine my anxiety when my mother in law suggested getting him in swimming lessons. So they just dangle off the edge holding on...you assume the life gaurd is paying attention...but what if they don't...your kid dies. So I went and he did so good. He held on to the edge and listened to the teachers...probably cause the girl looked like Miley Cyrus who he has a huge crash on. But I only ran over to the pool like 5 times...during the two week swimming lessons. He did so good and I survived. But he still doesn't know how to swim...so I will have to use the life jacket at our pool...oh darn!
Crazy Nicole
So I am way late at posting...but I so want to...because my sister in law is crazy! She got a crazy bug and decided she wanted to run the 24th of July Marathon. She trained so hard and did so well. I think she did it in 4 hours and like 2 minutes or something like that. Amazing. It makes me want to train after this little one comes out...but i don't think I am anywhere near deciplined enough to do it. Andy would drive her up the canyon and she would just have to run home. We love this girl. Owen loved watching her run accross the line. If he wasn't her aunt...he would marry her. So proud!

My Old Man!
Christopher is 31 years old today. Ha Ha! I know I am right behind him. So I thought I would do a little post on him. He thinks blogs are lame...so he will really appreciate this. Here are 31 fun facts about Mr Chris.
1. He loves to sleep. I think he takes a nap everyday.
2. Chris is a huge University of Utah fan.
3. Chris loves to watch sports...mostly college...but seriously if it is a sport and it is on TV he will watch it.
4. Speaking of TV...this is Chris' first love. And he loves lame shows...the kind where you learn something when you watch them.
5. Chris got his drivers licence in the summer after his sophmore year at Mario's VCR Repair and Drivers Ed. Seriously.
6. He loves loves loves music!
7. Chris is totally OCD. After I put groceries away he goes through the pantry and the fridge to make sure the labels are facing forward.
8. Chris is such a good dad...whenever Owen wants to wrestle...he gets on the floor with him.
9. I seriously don't think Chris has changed a diaper since Owen was 3 months old...he will argue that one...but I know I am right.
10. Chris has the most amazing, beautiful wife. He is just so fond of her :)
11. He loves to save money...a little too much. He always convinces me to put birthday money into our savings...so boring.
12. He hates the snow...I would to if I had to plow and shovel it all the time.
13. Chris loves to gamble...and secretly I think he likes to play bingo. He pretends to just come and play so he can be with me...but I think he is into it.
14. Loves to argue. Even if he knows he is wrong...I think he will sometimes just say it to argue.
15. Chris is never wrong...at least this is what he belives.
16. He acts tough on the outside but really I know he is soft and sensative on the inside.
17. His truck is never dirty...drives me crazy...because he thinks everyone should have a perfectly clean car.
18. He will not ride a bike. (sometimes I really wonder if he ever learned how)
19. Always late! I almost have a nervous breakdown everytime we go somewhere.
20. He never remembers birthdays...not only remembers...but doesn't know when they are...except mine and Owens...but that is because he is constatnly being reminded. Seriously ask him when his mom's or his dad is...he can tell you the month...but that is about as close as it gets.
21. Drinks Coke like it is going out of sytle.
22. If the flu, some virus is going around...Chris is going to get it.
23. I hate feet...but Chris has really nice feet.
24. I love his smile...and he hates it. He gets self concious when he smiles big...hates his gums.
25. He love me even though...cereal and grilled cheese are two of my best meals.
26. So many shoes. I remember goign on Vacation with him and he packed 6 pairs of shoes...what guy does that.
27. He used to work at Baskin Robins...so this makes him an ice cream expert.
28. He always makes me laugh and listens when I am upset.
29. Has a sweet tooth....this doens't help me with mine at all.
30. Just asked Owen something about his dad...something he loves about him...and he said he loves his birthday cake. sorry chris.
31. Throws everything away. Hates to keep stuff...just to keep it. I will not ever let him clean out our closet of storage...there would be nothing left.
We sure love our Chris. He just makes our little family perfect. Happy Birthday Babe.
