March Madness!

If you are looking for a basket ball post this is not it.
holy moly.
That is about how I feel about march right now.  In the last few weeks so much has happened I don't know where to begin. Lets start about where my last post left off. On the 8, I spent the day up in Pleasant Grove with my mom and sister. We played games, hung out and most importantly that night my baby sister went through the temple for the first time.  Ashley was beautiful and it was so exciting to be there in that special place with most of my siblings (Sherri and Darren excepted).  We all went out to dinner after.  The next big day was Friday the 11th.  We had a sisters bridal shower in the morning, a wedding dinner in the evening and a bachelorette party in the late PM. All the girls had a blast, but it was such a long day! On Saturday my sister Ashley married her sweetheart in the Mount Timp Temple. The whole day was Beautiful, especially Ashley. I am so proud of her and her good decisions. I really look up to her a lot.
This last week, what I thought was teething was really an ear infection.  Adam is doing a lot better now. Actually he is doing great. He is an active little eight month old, who pretty much refuses to eat anything unless it is finger food!  he loves cheerios and soft fruits and vegetables, but if it requires a spoon to get into his mouth, he simply wont take it... silly monkey

but he is getting pretty fast at getting those things in his mouth!

Did I mention he has also started climbing? before I grabbed the camera he was on his back on the cushion

he has also started walking...ish :) (video wouldn't load)

 and with support he loves running!

Movie Movie!

If you know me really well (which only a few people do;) you know that I love quoting movies and then making you try to guess which movie I quoted.  Such as "there's a macaroni on my head"!  movies that are quotable make my day.  I just watched a new one a couple days ago called "mega mind". Loved it! already a favorite quoter. "How did you get past my door man?... * whimper* Carlos?"  In fact, a lot of my favorite movies are pixars.  Yes, Toy Story three almost made me cry and I did bawl within the first ten minutes of UP.  Whoever writes those scripts is my hero for today. "look, I'm Picasso!... uh I don't get it...".  So here is todays task.  name your favorite movie ... or... name your favorite quote from a movie or even just one that comes to mind.  and the next time I see you I may just challenge you to a quoting duel. :) (I do not think that means what you think it means) hehehe. Have a great day!

and...
my smart little man is getting so big!

Such a sweetheart!

song and dance

because a day without a picture or video of Adam is just... well, text!

a new idea

This little kid of mine certainly does keep me busy. Adam is now scooting every where and getting into everything! some of his favorite activities are "running" singing and dancing, trying to get any book I'm reading, and playing peek-a-boo.  He also enjoys frustrating me by not wanting to eat any solid foods (unless it is not what he should be eating) He is now right around 16 pounds and learning new ways to explore everyday.  This week Nathaniel and I have registered for the Top of Utah Marathon.  It will be my first, Nathaniel's second.  I've already been running a couple times, and aside from dying the first time, I am feeling pretty good! Adam enjoys the ride and getting out side almost as much as I do :)
My cousin gave me an idea about blogging that I am going to take and run with.  There is a list of thirty things to write about...I most likely wont post every day but at least it has given me a new idea.
I often ask my husband what song he has in his head at a given moment.  More often than not he says "slippery fish" because that is the first song that pops into his head.  He would also say that one of his favorite songs is "unwritten". its one of mine too.  We both like the idea of starting each day with a blank page and choosing what we wright on it as we go along.
If you asked Adam what his favorite song is he would probably say patty-cake (I'm not even sure that is a legit song) he sure seems to like it though.
As for me, my favorite song changes along with the weather, and what plays it'self most frequently through my mind. Today 'Your the Inspiration'  by Chicago strikes my fancy. Not only is this song filled with nostalgia, but it is incredibly well done.  Not to mention a killer music video. Classic.I grew up on Chicago, love that group.  Just because, I got onto Youtube and watched this song as a music video...have you ever done that? wow. it made my day.
What is your favorite song and why? Also, what is the first song that comes to mind when someone asks or what song are you thinking about right now? Do share :)
