So it has been awhile. I have a few pictures I was going to post right after the last post, but I never got to it. They are of Chloe climbing into things.

She is a crazy climber now. The other day, she was playing in her room and it was queit for too long, so I went in there and as I am walking in, she is climbing down into her crib. She had climb onto the love seat we have next to her crib, the to the arm of the loveseat, then onto her crib and down. CRAZY!! A few days after that, I caught her on her changing table. She had climbed onto the toys the climbed the rest of the way up to the top. The toys are no longer next to the changing table. She still tries to climb up, but can't do it anymore.

A little over a month ago, Chloe got her first tooth. She now has her two front teeth.

The last few days, if I leave my shoes out, Chloe likes to put one on and walk around with it. She wouldn't look at me, so I didn't get a very good picture, but I'll give you what I got.

Birthday

2010-03-16T12:06:00.000-07:00

Chloe turned a year old a month ago tomorrow. We were going to have a party for her on February 21st, but for certain reasons we postponed it. We ended up having a party with my family for all three babies with birthday's three weeks apart. Melissa was nice enough to make cakes for each baby.

Otto and William both dug into their cakes, but Chloe didn't want anything to do with her cake.

Here are some pictures of after they got done eating the cake. Poor Chloe, just didn't want any. :0(

A little over a week later, we celebrated with Christophe's family. My mom came too. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so I don't have any pictures. That time Chloe at a little more cake, but not much. Here are some pictures of Chloe on her birthday with some balloons that Uncle Ben, Aunt Shari and Aunt Pat got her. Thanks you guys, she loved them.

Memories

2010-03-10T16:30:00.000-08:00

Like Elizabeth, this is the only form of a journel I keep, so I want to write these few memories I have of my dad and Chloe. I figured I could write them easier then I could tell them.

For the last several months I have been going to my parents' house on Saturdays. Sometimes when I went my dad would be sitting on the couch reading his scriptures or another church book. Chloe was usually asleep when we got there, so I would leave her in her car seat in the living room with my dad. When she would make the slightest peep, Dad would jump up and get her out.

On other occasions I would have her in a high chair eating grahm crackers, a few times she would have eaten all of them, so Dad would get her out and take her to the sink to wash her hands and face. Once that was done, he would "sneak" downstairs so they could go watch college football together. I would go down to check on them a little while later and Dad had usally given Chloe his watch to eat and play with. Those are just a few stories of Dad and Chloe.

My little gamer

2010-02-08T14:29:00.000-08:00

Chloe has figured out that if you push buttons on the xbox 360 remote, things happen on the TV. She love to do it too. What can I say, she takes after her father.

A girl after my own heart

2009-12-04T17:34:00.001-08:00

So Chloe really loves to put things in her mouth. Normal baby. She really loves to put shiny metal things in her mouth, silverware, watches, necklaces. A few weeks ago we went out to lunch with my Dad and Mom and Uncle Ben. Ben was finished eating and holding Chloe on his lap and this is what happened. . .

Yep, that's right, she is eating salt. She is her mother's daughter. OK OK, she is not eating the salt, just the lid that is shiny and silver.

This is a picture of Grandpa helping her opening her first present. Thanks Aunt Tricia for the Christmas book.

Happenings

2009-11-11T13:22:00.000-08:00

Chloe was Minnie Mouse for Halloween. I know I am a little slow at getting this posted. But here are a couple pictures of her all dressed up.

I also got another video of her walking, it has been a few weeks since the last one, and she is walking a lot better now. She doesn't crawl very often anymore, it is mostly walking with a few falls in between.

Not much else has happened or is going on. Just work in the mornings and come home and play with my little cutie.

Race

2009-10-22T05:50:00.000-07:00

So some people in my family think that it is a race to see who walks first, Lincoln or Chloe. But it is one race that both Elizabeth and I hope the other one wins. I know right now, they are about at the same place, taking a few steps. Go Lincoln go!!

Anyways, the last time Tricia was home Chloe was tarting to stand on her own. She asked me when Chloe started walking if I would take a video and put it on the blog. Well, it isn't exactly walking, just a taking a few steps. Usually it is just a few steps and the she falls, like below.

But sometimes, if she is going towards something she wants, she will take a few more. (Don't pay attention to the paper towel she is stepping on. There have been a lot of Box Elder bugs in my house and that night I had to keep something handy in case I saw one low enough for me to get, and Chloe had just pulled it down from the couch.)

Lydia

2009-10-06T13:51:00.000-07:00

Lydia came up to Utah with some of Andy's family. We got to go out to lunch with Grandma, Aunt Jane and Daniel. Here are a couple pictures of Lydia, Grandma and Chloe.

Pics

2009-09-24T14:44:00.000-07:00

I have taken a few pictures of Chloe in the last few week. Here are a couple of them.

Yes in a couple of them, she is standing on her own. She can do that for about 15 to 20 seconds on her own before she catches herself or falls. In this last one, she got so tired that when Christophe picked her up, she fell asleep. (Yes she drools a ton!!)

Stinker

2009-09-01T18:03:00.000-07:00

Chloe is such a big stinker. We are trying to get her used to her crib, so she will sleep in there at night. Yesterday, while Christophe was in there she did this. . .

We knew she could stand herself up, but this is the first time that she climbed up the bumper to make herself higher. So you say it is time to lower my crib, it is already on the lowest setting. And just now as I am writing this, she found a small crack between the couch and the wall and started crawling through it, and got stuck and started fussing. My cute stinker is exploring a lot more lately.

This is just a video of her crawling a few days ago.

5 1/2 months and crawling

2009-08-02T13:22:00.000-07:00

Chloe has been trying to figure out crawling for a few weeks. She would get on her hands and knees and move her knees, but kept her hands on the ground. The last few days she has started moving her hands, but kept her knees where they were. But last night she figured out she had to do them both together. It was a slow and thoughtful crawl, but she did it. Help me!

Earlier this week, we went to Kiddie Kandids and got Chloe's picture taken for my mom and Christophe's mom's birthdays. I couldn't wait for their actual birthdays to give them there picture though. Below are the picture that we got.

Chloe

2009-06-25T14:29:00.001-07:00

Chloe went into her 4 month appointment yesterday. She is now 11 lbs 1 ounce and 23 inches long. So she is still little but is getting bigger.

Blessing

2009-06-01T11:58:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we blessed Chloe. It was really nice. Thanks to all the family and friends that came. It was a really nice day.

Here is Chloe and William playing after church. I looks like Chloe had the cooler toys to play with, sorry William.

Work

2009-06-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

So Christophe finally found a job (YAY!!!) that started a month ago, I know I'm a little slow at posting this. He works for TruGreen, it is a lawn care place. He goes door to door to sale the service. The week before he started I went back to work. I had to work full time that week, but from then on, I got to go part time. Which works out perfectly, almost. I go to work from 8:00 to about 11:40 and Christophe works 11:50 to 9:00 Monday through Thursday and 9:00 to 6:00 on Fridays. So once I am off work, I meet him at his work and we switch cars and I go home with Chloe. It is nice only having to worry about finding someone to watch Chloe 1 day a week for just a few hours. If I had to work to pay for daycare, I don't think I could make myself go work. It has been very nice so far because we have had either family or friends be able to watch her. And Christophe's mom is planning on watching her for most Fridays for the rest of the summer. Family is great!!

Smiles

2009-05-22T17:09:00.001-07:00

I get a lot of good smiles everyday now, but whenever I pull out my phone to take a picture, Chloe stops smiling. So here are a couple half smiles that I have been able to capture.

2 Months

2009-04-16T09:41:00.001-07:00

I can't believe that Chloe will be 2 months old tomorrow. It is kind of crazy. Here are a couple of cute pictures that Christophe took on his phone. I love the second one. She has started to smile, but I haven't gotten it on camera yet. . .

Birthday

2009-03-29T21:38:00.000-07:00

Today is Christophe and Ian's birthday. Jenny, her family, Matt, his family and Daniel all came to Mom and Dad's to celebrate. We had pizza, cupcakes and ice cream. Then Ian opened his presents. While the kids where playing with the new toys, the adults either went down stairs to watch basketball or stayed upstairs and played Trivial Pursuit on the Xbox. We had a lot of fun. We then compared Chloe and William. William is a little bigger, but they are close in size. Here are a couple picture of them.

This next picture is of Chloe in her Sunday dress last week. I just think she was so cute in it, but I'm not biased or anything.

Bye Roxy

2009-03-29T21:17:00.000-07:00

Last week Christophe finally agreed that we needed to give Roxy away. We just didn't spend enough time with her. She was a good dog, but all she wanted to do was play, chew whatever came into her mouth, and make messes. Needing to play isn't a bad thing, but with a new baby, neither one of us played with her very much. So we gave her away. We hope that with her new family she will have all the play time she needs. Goodbye Roxy!

2009-03-19T14:33:00.000-07:00

OK Tricia. Here are some more pictures.

I like this first one because she has her eyes open.

I just love this one.

This was the dress she wore to church last Sunday.

I know this one is kinda blurry, but I like how she is kinda looking at the camera.

You can't really tell by the picture, but she was wedged in between blankets.

I just loved how she was holding her binki. The only problem when she does that, is when she moves her hand, she pulls out the binki.

Sleeping

2009-03-03T13:31:00.000-08:00

Chloe is so funny when she is asleep. She makes some of the funniest faces and loves to have her hands up at her face. I don't have pictures of her faces, but here are a few pictures with a few different hand positions.

Chloe Lynne Trujillo

2009-02-23T18:48:00.000-08:00

We decided to to name our baby Chloe Lynne Trujillo, so Christophe is more stubborn than I am. Here is a picture of the two of us in our going home outfits. Don't pay attention to me, this is just to show how small Chloe is.

A close up of Chloe in her going home outfit.
Here is another one of Chloe showing her in her car seat. The next one is a little farther away, another one to show her size.

Baby Trujillo

2009-02-18T08:27:00.000-08:00

She is here. She was born last night @ 9:07. She weighed in at 5 pounds and is 16 inches long. Small, but healthy.

She has already found her fingers.

Here she is with daddy in the nursery getting cleaned and assessed. She has my chin.

We don't have a name yet. Hopefully sometime today we will pick one.

Pregnancy/ Baby Showers

2009-01-26T19:27:00.000-08:00

Ok, I am finally posting something new. It is a miracle. Really not much goes on in my life though. I go to work and then I come home really tired, so I just relax. But, some of my friends have been bugging me about seeing pictures of my "baby bump". So here it is wither you want to see or not. This first picture is when I was either 32 or 33 weeks. I don't remember when we took it anymore.

And this one is of me this morning. (I am almost 36 weeks.) Not a very good picture, but that is all we got.

Now for the baby showers. Some fun things that I have done in the last few weeks. I have had 2 showers. I don't really like being the center of attention, but it was good to see everybody and catch up with friends and cousins. I want to thank all those that came to the family shower, thank you cards will be coming, but I am really slow and bad at getting those out, so it might be a while before you get them. Sorry! Then my work threw me and another girl, who is due about a week and a half before me, a shower last week. I have gotten some really cute things from everyone. In my work shower, one of my friends came and she brought me a cake made out of diapers. It was really cute and very creative. I have a couple shots of it below. Mom told be that Tricia wanted to see a picture of it.

That is all until next time. . . Probably not until little baby Trujillo is born. Cause I not very good at knowing what to write.

Halls

2008-11-20T18:07:00.001-08:00

Last weekend I went down to Arizona to "help" Elizabeth. Andy was going to go out of town to pick something for Thanksgiving and Elizabeth didn't want to be alone. So she flew me down. It was a nice little get away. Above is one of the pictures of Lincoln that Lydia took on my phone. He is so little and cute.

On Saturday morning while I was still kind of asleep, I hear voices out side my door. Drew was asking Lydia what she was doing. Her response "I am waiting for Aunt Becky to come out." Drew "She isn't going to come out for a long time. She won't wake up until after the sun comes up, and that isn't for a long time." It was so funny. I looked at the clock and it was 6:45. Crazy cute kids. I hope my kids don't wake up so early.

I'm having a ...

2008-09-27T10:27:00.001-07:00

Girl. A little girl. My baby is measuring about 6 days small, but they are keeping my due date the same. It was so cool to get the ultrasound. To actually be able to see that is a real baby inside of me. While the ultrasound technician was trying to get a picture of her head, my girl wouldn't stay still long enough to get a picture. And Christophe made the comment that she is as stubborn as I am. Really? Me stubborn? It doesn't run in the family or anything. . .
Here are a couple more pictures that were taken. She had her hand above her head and they got a picture of her hand, but it didn't really work taking a picture of that picture. So I didn't add that one.

This is another one of my favorites. It is of her feet, and they are crossed at the ankle.

Lampy the second

2008-09-27T09:42:00.001-07:00

Meet Lampy the second. Roxy got spayed a few weeks ago and either she wouldn't leave the incision alone or it just wasn't healing right. So the doctor gave her this lamp shade so she would leave the cut alone. When Christophe told me that they gave her the lamp shade I started laughing. It reminded me when we had our dog Max when I was younger. He wouldn't leave a cut on his leg alone, so he got a lamp shade for quite a while. Tricia gave him the nick name Lampy. I think it fits.

Catching up

2008-08-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Wow I have a lot to catch up on. First from our trip to Duck Creek. It was a nice relaxing vacations. Christophe and I just mostly stayed at the cabin and played games. But on Saturday we went with Doug and his family and Elizabeth and her family to Cedar City and went bowling and then out for ice cream. Bowling was a lot of fun. Watching the kids get excited when they hits some pins down was cute. Below is a picture of Aiden. The adults were done with their game and the kids had one more frame left. So Christophe had taken off his shoes and Aiden wouldn't bowl his last frame with out Christophe's shoes one. It was fun to see him try and walk with these shoes on.

Anniversary

Today is Christophe and my anniversary. We have been married 1 year. It doesn't seem like we have been married that long, but we have. The time has just passed so quickly.

Moving

We put up our condo for rent about a month ago. We have had a few people interested, but last Friday, Christophe text me and told me that we had to move. So we have 3 guys moving into our Condo, but since we weren't sure anyone was going to rent , we weren't really looking for a place to live. Since we have to be out by the 25th, we are going to move in with my parent, while we find something bigger.

Lastly

Now last but not least. Now you might be asking why we would need anything bigger. Well, I am really getting sick on the dog being inside all of the time and that I have to worry what she is getting into. So we are looking for a place that has a fenced in back yard. That will hopefully help me not get so annoyed with her. And I am pregnant. I am due the end of February. I am 13 weeks along and have been very lucky. I get nauseous, but haven't gotten sick. So that is another reason we need a bigger space. We could probably make our condo work with a baby, but not with the dog too. And Christophe loves her too much to get rid of her. So we move in with my parents and the end of this week. Well that is all that has been going on with me.

4th of July

2008-07-05T20:23:00.000-07:00

I went to my parent's house for the 4th. We had a bbq and just hung out. It was nice and relaxing. Here are some pictures I took while we were lighting off fireworks.

Here is the box of fireworks that Matt and Melissa brought. Law is just a little taller than the box, so it was quite funny seeing him carry it. (Sad, this is the only picture I got of Melissa.)

Here is Ben and Sage.

Matt, Maddy and Law.

Tina, Aiden, and Doug's hand (the only part of Doug in my picures, he was cleaning something off his car.) Aiden isn't really liking the noise.

Christophe and Roxy.

Mom.

Tricia, Dad and Roxy again.

Daniel

Aiden. This was his firework that he picked out.

Aiden's firework going off.

Aiden didn't really like his going off. Sad!

Ben then took us to Camp Williams by the windmills to watch the Thanksgiving Pointe fireworks. They were good. And there was no one else around. Thanks Ben!

We gave it one more try.

2008-06-09T21:41:00.000-07:00

Meet Roxy our new puppy. We got her on Thursday afternoon and she is so cute. We were told that her mother was a pug and her father was a chihuahua/terrier mix. To me she looks like a miniature lab.

We are allergic to her, me more than Christophe. But we are going to see if I get use to it after a little bit. Roxy was 7+ weeks when we got her. We think it was a little early for her to leave her mother, but the sellers were, lets put it nicely, interesting. She does fairly well with not making too many messes for as young as she is, so that is nice. Below is a picture of her with Daniel to show how small she is.
On Thursday night we ran to Walmart to try to find her a bed, more food and a toy. The food was all to big, not much in the way of toys, but Christophe did find her a bed. However, she didn't like it. We would put her in it and she would just walk out, even if she was a sleep and we put her in there, she would immediately wake up and get out. The next day Christophe went to the pet store to buy her a crate which she utterly refuses to be in. Spoiled dog! So on Sunday we cleared out our laundry room except for the washer and dryer and blocked her in there and left for church. She was yelping as we walked out the door. We sat out in the hall to see if she would stop. After a couple of minutes, we decided that we couldn't go back in, that it would teach her that she could just whine and someone would be there to make her happy, so we left for church. We decided to check on her after sacrament meeting and she was still whining. We had no idea what we were going to do Monday when we were both at work.

Well some friends from the ward came over to meet our new dog and gave us a suggestion to put up a baby gate to give her more room. So, when Christophe left for work, since we didn't have time to go buy a gate, stacked her crate and a box full of books in the hallway. Before he even left for work she had jumped on top of the box of books and gotten free of her confinement. Christophe reworked a little and left. Roxy whined for about a minute but then stopped. Christophe was afraid that she had gotten out again so he went back in to make sure. He found her on her bed that she hated, chewing on her toy.

(this is not what he saw, but I thought it was cute)

While I was on my lunch break I was right by my place so I stopped to make sure she wasn't whining. I stood by an open window and by my door and didn't hear a thing, so I thought we were OK. But when I got home from work she was sitting on our couch. She had pushed her crate enough to get through. Smart stinker. Luckily there weren't any messes.

10 good things

2008-05-03T09:07:00.000-07:00

So Mary tagged me to do this post, Thanks Mary. It is 10 good things about my life. However like Mary, I am not so good about sharing my feelings, so it won't be a very deep and emotional post. So here we go, in no particular order.

1. Christophe. He is the love of my life and treats me so well. Even when stupid birth control makes me illogical and stupid, he talks to me and helps me not be so crazy. He even has gotten my hopes up that we will get out of Utah. He suggested that we go down to AZ, and while we are there, to look at houses to buy. Though we don't know when this trip will happen, everyone at his work already has time off through July, but I am hoping we can squeeze it in sometime in June.

2. The Pill, or the not taking it part. While I was taking "the pill" I was an emotional wreck. Which happened very rarely while not on the pill and a lot more while on. So I am happy to say that I am not taking it and hoping that my emotions will turn back to normal and that I will lose the weight I put on while on it as well. Side note that I stopped taking the pill not to get pregnant, but to get rid of the stupid side effects.

3. My Family. I love my family, they are my best friends. I know I can go to them with anything and they will do what they can to help me. I don't know where I would be without them.

4. My In-laws. I have gotten very lucky with my in-laws. They are super nice to me and love me. Growing up I was always scared that I would get the nasty in-laws that you never want to see or talk to. I am so grateful that I have nice down to earth ones.

5. My Job. Now I don't like working, but I have to be grateful that I have a job. The way the market is now, there is a lot of people being laid off in other title companies. My company hasn't had the layoffs that the others have though. We have had people quit and one person get fire, but it we haven't had anyone laid off since last fall.

6. Saturday. I love Saturdays. It is my one day that I don't have to be anywhere and I get to sleep in. I love having this day to relax and sometimes go no where.

7. Vacations. I love being able to get up and go. Disneyland was great and I can't wait to go again. We are having a mini girls vacation in June and a big family vacation in July. I am so excited for these.

8. Flying. I love being able to fly places and not having to drive. I love that it takes an hour and a half to fly somewhere that would take you 12 hours to drive.

9. My car. My car is such a great car. In the 4 1/2 years that I have had it, I have only had to take it in to get fixed once. It is a great little car that has great pick up, a must in a car. And to top it off, it will be paid off in October. YEAH!!!

10. Last but definitely not least, SUMMER. I am so excited for it to be summer and hot. Some of you probably think I am crazy that I want to move to the heat of Arizona, but I do. I am so sick of the stupid weather of Utah and the fact that it snowed on Thursday, which was May 1st. Are you kidding me? I love the sun and want it to come out and stay already.

Well I made it through. So now I get to tag Tricia, Jane, and Elizabeth.

Disneyland

2008-04-21T16:27:00.000-07:00

So, I finally made it to Disneyland!! YAY!! It was fun. Christophe and I went with Christophe's friend Brandon and his girlfriend Katie. We left Monday night and got into Anaheim and went straight to our hotel. (Note, don't ever stay at Extended Stay, something something Studios. They have horrible customer service.) We woke up Tuesday morning and got to Disneyland about 9:30 or 10:00 and left about 4 ish. This day my favorite ride would definitely be Space Mountain, although Splash Mountain was also fun. Below is a picture of us after riding splash Mountain, you can't really tell, but I am basically soaking wet. If you notice the trash can next to me, it says Waste Please. We thought that the way this was worded was quite funny, as if Disneyland was asking us to waste things.

Then on Wednesday we started off at California Adventures riding The Tower of Terror, which as a blast! After riding a few other rides and The Tower of Terror again, we went to the Aladdin show. This was very well done, and the jokes updated for our times. We then went back over to Disneyland. One ride that I don't really like is the Matterhorn. Christophe and I were in one car and my knees were smashing against the car with every jerk and Christophe felt like he had no room either, so my advice is not to ride 2 adults in one car, take your own.

Then on Thursday we just relaxed and spent a couple of hours at the beach. I love the beach and just lying there soaking up the sun. I did stick my feet in the water for about a second, but it was really really cold. That night we meet up with Katie's old roommate for dinner right by the beach, after which Brandon and Katie went to "look for shells along the beach." That is right, he proposed. While they were gone, Christophe started taking pictures of the sunset with his phone, so I took some on the camera for him.

Then Friday we just hung out and then walked around Universal City right by Universal Studios, and went to a movie and then finally we headed out so we could make our flight back to cold Utah. This is my first trip to Disneyland, if you made it through that, I hope it makes since.

I want to play too

MY NEW TOY

2008-04-11T18:43:00.001-07:00

Christophe has had an Iphone since Christmas, and a couple of weeks ago, he found a new game to download. One that I have been addicted to playing on the computer, so ever since then I have wanted one. Well, Christophe had a feeling to get on KSL.com to look up Iphone, and he found this:

A brand new, still in the box, 4 gig Iphone for only $275. He offered $250 and the guy said that he would take $260. So we g0t it for cheaper than we if they were still sold in the stores. Happy birthday to me! This is my new phone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2008-03-29T12:32:00.001-07:00

I just want to say happy birthday to my cute adorable husband! He is 24 today. Man he is young. I also wanted to say happy birthday to Ian, my nephew, who is 3 today. Jenny is having a party for Ian today and when she called and told me about it, Ian wanted to talk too. So when I talked to him, I told him that it was going to be Uncle Christophe's birthday the same day as his. His response was "No, just mine, its just my birthday!" It was cute, Jenny was in the background trying to tell him no, but I just appeased him and told him that it could just be his. Happy birthday Christophe and Ian.

Anniversary

2008-03-11T19:07:00.000-07:00

So Christophe and I have been married for six months. I am a little late updating my blog, cause our six month anniversary was February 17. Just about a month behind. I wanted to post some of the pictures from our wedding.

This one is of my whole family. Look how lopsided it is. My family is on the left and then Christophe's family plus one of his friends is on the right. I love it and my family.

This is really one of my most favorites. Ian didn't want to be in this picture from the beginning. These are all of our nieces and nephews. They are so cute!

Christophe's Valentine's Day Present

2008-01-26T15:32:00.000-08:00

I know what you are all thinking, it is not ever February yet. I know, I know. But I was sitting at work and I over heard one of my coworkers talking about a free 4 month old pure bred black lab that someone was giving away with a bed and food. Christophe has been wanting a puppy since we got married, so I thought this would be a perfect Valentine's Day present. I found out who was giving the dog away, it was someone doing a closing in one of our other offices and I called someone over there and they said they would give the guy my number. Well, the guy called and said that they didn't really want to give him away, but that he had young kids and the puppy got a little excited while they were playing and scratch his 1 year old. He knew that it wasn't the dog's fault, but didn't want to have to worry about him unintentionally hurting his kids anymore.
So I told him that I wanted it. I was going to surprise Christophe, but it ended up that the guy was going out to dinner and wanted me to call him and set up a time to pick the puppy after I was going to be home and it was Christophe's day off. So I called him and told him what I did. I don't think he really believed me at first, but was excited. So we pick up Buddy(their name for him, not ours) on Thursday night for $40(the guy wanted money for the bed, kennel, and toys that came with the dog).

Unfortunately Christophe quickly found out that he was allergic to him and I realized the next day that I was too. So sadly this blog ends with us having just put up an add to sell him on KSL. He is a very cute, good dog, though not house trained yet. And I think Christophe feels bad that we have to give him up, but maybe when we are in a house with a back yard we can try again. So if anyone know of anyone looking for a cute puppy in Utah let us know.

Nothing

2008-01-15T13:32:00.000-08:00

This post is really about nothing. But I am writing this to keep Elizabeth happy. Sorry it is not once a week, but at least it is an update.

Not much is going on. I just go to work and then go home and veg. Work is so slow that I am so bored most of the day that when I get home I don't have much energy to do anything.

We did go to Wendover on Saturday night on the "Fun Bus". It is a bus that drives from Salt Lake to Wendover and then will bring you back to Salt Lake. It only cost $15 a person and then they give you a certificate for $5 cash and a free buffet, that cost about $20, and then a free cocktail, which I didn't use. So if we just went for the food it was worth the bus fair. Christophe and I did a little gambling. He played $15 on Roulette and then I played $5 on penny slots. So we spent $20 on entertainment. Other people that we went with we much luckier than we were. Christophe's brother David won $100 in the first 10 minutes of being there. Christophe would have played more tables but they didn't have any dollar tables, the cheapest table cost $5, and we have to pay Christophe's tuition this week, so those weren't an option. Anyways I will stop babbling, I'm just trying to pass the time so it will be 5:00 sooner.

Is this really who I married??

2007-11-19T18:16:00.000-08:00

Really, I don't remember saying that I would marry this. Just kidding. Just a little background info. Christophe hasn't had a hair cut since June. Last Sunday, I wasn't feeling very good and I was being a little ornery. So in the car, on the way home from his parent's house, he said he was going to do something that was going to make me laugh really hard. So when we got home, he brushed his hair out, and this was the result. And I did laugh! Isn't he sooo cute?
OK, here is a real picture of him.

I DID IT!!

2007-11-08T10:08:00.000-08:00

So, I finally started a blog. I am always on, reading about what is going on with family, so I decided it was time to start my own. It won't be as interesting as everyone elses, but here I am.
