Things I have been especially loving lately

I LOVE grapefruit. Mmmm....delicious. Maybe, I should go eat one now. I really have been enjoying these a lot lately. And none of this "add a bunch of sugar on top" business. It has to be plain.

I LOVE how funny Grant has been lately. He does learn it from the best so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. For example:

~Yesterday at Walmart I let him walk instead of getting a cart. He proceeded to do this funny twist your hips and arms while moving forward walk. I think it may even be funnier when I demonstrate it for you.

~He has been saying "Stop it! Right now!" a lot lately. Can't figure out who he could have possibly learned that from.

~He likes to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in a sweet nice voice and then all of a sudden sing a word really deep and crazy. He then busts up laughing and can hardly calm down to try it again. (He learned that from Captain Feathersword on The Wiggles.)

~He tries to imitate The Incredibles by running fast, stopping and then doing some pose that involves legs far apart and hands out.

~He loves to play with his cars and if you can eavesdrop on the conversations he makes them have, it's pretty hilarious. I even heard him having Mater yelling, "stop it, right now!" to poor Lightning McQueen. He was really getting in trouble for something.

~And on Sunday, while the Sacrament was being passed and it was conveniently the quietest, Grant stood up on the bench and said quite loudly, "I see Bishop! Right there! Hi, Bishop!" He did this a couple of times and had everyone around us smiling. He really does love to say hi to our Bishop.

I LOVE the collection of Salsa songs S&M have on on their computer. Man, what a great feel good beat. It just makes me happy.

I LOVE my husband. I don't publicly say this on the blog very much, (well, lately I haven't said much at all on the blog) I think for fear of seeming too mushy or something. But it really should be said. For Valentine's day he surprised me with tickets to a Paul Cardall concert at Abravanel Hall. I have always enjoyed his piano music but really didn't know very much about him. Anyways, his concert was a fundraiser for those who have heart disease or transplants and besides being amazing musically, it was incredibly inspiring. I rode the train down and met Chris at the Gateway mall for dinner first. He was still finishing up work so I had a little time to window shop. I thoroughly enjoyed both the time to myself and the time just with Chris. That's just one reason for loving him lately but I thought it was a pretty good one.

Teaching Grant the basics

So for some reason I can find the videos that were downloaded from our camera but not any of the pictures. Pictures where are you? I'll just blame it on our temporary computer. It's a Mac. And well, I don't really know how to use a Mac. (Don't get me wrong S&M, I am still so very, very grateful.) So, how about we just enjoy a couple of these videos for now.

Out with the old and in with the new

Well, it is official. Our computer has completed all that it is going to be able to do for us and will now get to rest in some dump heap somewhere. Actually, I am not even sure what you do with old dead computers. Do you really just toss them in the garbage? Last December, as in '08, it had a hard time but was fixed and managed to push through one more year of service for us. We have been looking around, ok, actually Chris has been looking around and researching and trying to decide what will be the best replacement for us. I figure as long as it is not too hard to use and doesn't cost us a large fortune, (small fortunes are fine right?) then I really don't have that much of an opinion in the matter. In the meantime, while my brother and his wife are out of the country, they have generously allowed us use of their fancy desktop computer. So here I am, trying to make good use of it. We just downloaded everything from our computer so I can now start to catch up on things.

Go Cougars!

THANKS EMILY AND MATT FOR THE TICKETS!

WE HAD A GREAT TIME!

I loved the throw back bright blue uniforms.

Enjoying our decent seats in the student section. (We're still students at heart. Well, actually Chris is still a student for reals. 2 more assignments to go. You can do it!)

The final score. What a relief.
I realized I was getting too old for all that yelling and jumping up and down stuff. And to the extreme disappointment of Matt and Emily, too old to participate in this either.

Participating in this is apparently just a once in my lifetime kindof thing.

But it certainly didn't lesson the enjoyment of the win.

And how about this little gem. This picture was taking 2 years ago after the last BYU win over Utah. Look at our cute little guy. Not even 2 months old and already cheering for the Cougars. :)
