smiley

Well, I have been bugging Terry for the last few days now on something that bothers me. When Terry brushes his teeth he leaves the cap off the toothpaste and lays it on the counter. When I go in and want to brush my teeth there is a big glob of toothpaste on the counter because it has run out of the open tube of toothpaste. Anyway, the other night Terry did this so it sat that way all night and in the morning there was a nice and big glob waiting for me on the counter. I HATE that!! And I have cleaned it up every time. This time I decided I was going to talk to Terry about it and just let him know that it would be awesome if he would just put the lid back on when he was done. Then I wouldn't have to clean up his globs!!! So last night it was still there and I kindly mentioned it to him and that I was hoping he would clean it up this time. Well, this morning there was a nice little surprise waiting for me............

Yup, instead of taking the time to clean it up, even better, he took the time to make a cute little smiley face out of floss for me in the toothpaste glob. Isn't he thoughtful?!?!?! :) I actually laughed out loud when I saw it.

the "Y" # 2- conquered!!

Isn't that a beautiful Picture?!?!

(Pics taken with my phone so sorry for the poor quality)

So on Saturday I had my dad come over so that I could go hike the "Y" again. It was such a beautiful day and I needed to redeem myself from the last time I attempted to hike the "Y". So I started up the mountain feeling much much better than the last time, its amazing how much of a difference it was to not have Mae on my back! I didn't even listen to music, it was just to peaceful and wonderful to!! But I made it and all the way to the tippy top of the "Y" too!! I was absolutely beautiful with all of the changing leaves! I just can't even express how good it felt :). Just Wonderful.

my face always goes so red when I work out! I really was enjoying myself and not about to die, like it looks!!!

I sure with the weather could stay just like it was on Saturday for a little while longer so I could do this again a few more times!!

LOVE this girl

the "Y" and private

So I decided that I am fat and in need of some working out. I have a hard time knowing when to do it because I am NOT a morning person and that seems to be the best time to do it without Mae. So this morning I decided to hike the "Y" with Mae in a hiking backpack on my back. WOW, am I out of shape or what!! I didn't make it to the top. But its a start right?!?! this is how we looked afterward, a little disheveled to say the least. (I look really horrible!!!)

Also, I think I am going to go private so if you want to still be able to read my blog then just leave your email in a comment and I will invite you! Thanks!!!

Reading is not something I was super into in High School, at least I don't remember being into it. But now that I am a little older and wiser I guess, I love reading! I love having a good book that I can't put down. I love getting into the stories! I just love everything about it! I just finished a truly amazing book. It was very graphic, sad and eye opening for me to read but I couldn't put it down. It is called

It is about this Navy Seal Team that was sent to Afghanistan to take out one of the main Taliban leaders. The one who wrote the book was the only surviver of his team. And as he recounts what happened on those Afghanistan mountains, his story is really something else. It is really crazy to read this first hand account of the war. It really put it into perspective for me that there are people doing this over there right now fighting for our country. Anyway, great book. Some language though, just a warning for you in case you decide to read it.

the tub...

Mae recently has figured out how to get into the bathtub. She kinda just lets herself flop in but she loves to just play and play in there with her clothes on. She thinks it's the coolest thing!

We also recently had our talented friend take some family pictures for us. They turned out pretty darn cute! and they are not uploading right now so maybe i will post them another time...

Mae is 15 months old now. she is starting to take a few steps here and there! finally!! she is so smart though. she says lots of things now and i think her favorite word is "no". I hate that she says it all the time but it is pretty funny! She also loves to sing! her favorite song right now is old mcdonald and the "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream" from sleeping beauty?? is that right? anyway she is FUN! We just had her appointment today and she is so dang tall for her age! still 95% percentile! she didn't gain any weight from her last appt. but thats ok, she is still in the 75% for weight.

Terry is doing so well in school! He loves accounting!!! Who would have thought, but I am just so glad that he has found something that he is very good at and enjoys learning about! I don't know how he does it but he is managing to juggle full time work, school, solase, and family pretty well! Keep up the good work honey!!! :)

I am just enjoying life with Mae, and I love my job! I love that I can just go on Fridays and keep up with that skill! What a blessing that has been for us!! Life is going pretty good right now and I love Fall time! so the end to my long and boring post this time!!
