Musings from the day

So, I am really trying to get into this whole blog thing. I can't believe how much time I have spent trying to make it look cute and to try and get it just the way I want it. Sometimes it is kind of crappy when you are a perfectionist!! I try really hard not to be, but somethings just get on my nerves if it just isn't they way I want it, especially crafty, artsy stuff.

Today has been quite the day and my patience was definitely wearing thin a few times. I finally had to get out of the house and take Micole on a walk so we could kill time until Young Women's. I am the Young Women's secretary and love it. Tonight was mutual and our combined activity with the Young Men. We went up Provo Canyon to a park and played water games and had 800 water balloons to have fun with. We also had dinner up there. I had a fun time. Micole gets to come with me because Brett has to work every night. The Young Women in my ward love her. They are so good to watch her and play with her. Micole loves to go to young women's too. I think it is because she gets so much attention. All I have to do on Wednesday nights is say, "Micole, lets get ready to go play with the girls at the Church." and she is heading out the door. Tomorrow is the 24th of July and I don't have to work. I am so excited to spend the day at home. We have done and gone to much the is summer. My house is sorely neglected. I am going to enjoy relaxing and cleaning my house. Well, maybe not enjoy cleaning my house, but I will enjoy it when it is all done. This is probably a long and boring post, sorry about that, but that is how it goes sometimes. Life can be boring yet full of surprises!

Playing Around & Updates

Yesterday we wanted to be outside. Brett and Micole were being so cute together. Brett was teaching Micole how to do a somersault. I, of course, could not pass up a photo moment. I really love having a digital camera for this reason!! Micole has some of the best facial expressions. I love it when I can catch one. She is so expressive!!








An update on the Air Force. So much stress and so much waiting!!! Brett and I are wondering if we will be able to survive the waiting. We had a slight hang-up. Brett had surgery done on his right hand while he was on his mission. We had to find all of his medical papers for the surgery. That took about a month to get everything. AUGGGHHHHH! We thought we were in the clear, but we aren't. Brett has really bad eyesight and I guess it was borderline to get into the Air Force, so we had to have an eye exam done. No biggy!! Well, it turned out to be a biggy. There was a big difference between what the Military said and what the eye doctor said, so it all got sent to the Surgeon General. We are crossing our fingers that the SG will pass Brett and that he will do it quickly. So keep your fingers crossed and remember us in your prayers.

Must Love Dogs and Golf

Micole spent a week at her Nana's (Peggy) and Grampa Joe's. (Peggy and Joe are Brett's mom and stepdad). They have two Pomeranian dogs, Bear and PJ. Micole is not so much a fan of dogs, so we all knew it was going to be interesting for her to spend a week around the dogs. Brett and I went up to Wyoming on Friday to pick up Micole and stayed until Sunday. Much to our surprise, Micole decided that she really did like the dogs. Where she wouldn't even be around them early that week, you can see she was all hugs and even chased them around the yard trying to tickle them. I think Bear and PJ were kind of glad Micole was leaving when all she wanted to do was play!!





Joe and Peggy like to play golf, so of course they had to buy Micole her own little golf club. I tell you, that girl can hit the ball when she wants too. She had so much fun playing "golf". She would keep saying "Again, again!"

Micole

Micole is so cute. How can we not love the little tyke?? The other day, she saw Brett's hat and started putting it on. I thought it was so cute, I just had to take some pictures. I have realized that I love having a digital camera!!! It makes taking pictures so much fun. I can snap away and delete later. I think you would all agree that this is a keeper picture.




Micole was playing baseball with her cousin at a family reunion a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if she even knew what she was doing, but she had fun swinging the bat. She is pretty athletic for a cute, little, 2 year old girl. She can throw and kick the ball pretty good, but she has never played baseball before. It was a first for her!!

Photos

I am going to put some pictures on here, I promise!! I just got my first digital camera. I know what a shocker. Most everyone has had one for years. I would have too, if i wouldn't have been so picky!! I finally got the camera I have been drooling over for years! The sad thing is....I don't know how to use it!!! Well, I have taken some pictures and I think they are pretty cute, but I don't know how to get them onto the computer yet. I have a new project to undertake. As soon as I figure out how to download my pictures, I will put them on the blog. I really don't know what I am doing!!! Cross your fingers that I will figure it out soon!!

The Beginning

We have never done a blog before so this could be interesting!!! Brett is joining the Air Force and so we will be moving here before too long and everyone said we needed a blog. So here we go!!
