What Disney Princess are you?

I wouldn't have thought to pick Ariel for myself? But I was always good at flipping my hair out of the pool just like Ariel does in the ocean. Kinda fun.
You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Schools out, and how!

Not so little Jax had his preschool graduation. Such a big kid now. He now has 2 years of preschool left. He is young, but they had an opening in Jan. so I thought I'd send him to play, and get out of the house this winter. In the fall he'll do the whole year of 3/4yr. olds. But for an hour and a half a day, Skyline's preschool was perfectly what I needed. He made things, played, snacked, learned something I'm sure. I don't know what I'm going to do with him all summer? Help!

The graduation was in the courtyard at Skyline High. He really liked his high school buddies. I loved hearing from the "big kids" what Jax would do that day, or the funny things they would say they had to do with him. Jax loves to play and has a wild imagination. That's his favorite guy, Parker, reading a page he wrote about Jax. I loved it, he knows Jax. Here is Greg and the boys blowing out the candles on his birthday. Doesn't that cake look delicious? (if you can see it through all the cans of soda on the table) I want some now!

Maybe Creed will be our child prodigy. He got this out this morning and just sat and played. Poor guy has been sick. So I am glad to see him getting some life back in him.

We've taken him to our pediatrician and other doctors of sorts about 12 times this year. This year, meaning 2008! It's only May. Can anyone top that? This last week I had to take him for a hearing test. He's not speaking words yet, so this is the place to start. This visit was a nightmare. He can hear good, but the experience was not good at all. I couldn't find anyone to watch Jax, so I had them both, in a sound proof quiet room. And I'll just say that when I left, the nice Dr. handed me a pamphlet on handling, behavior, and parenting children. I suppose he was trying to give me a hint, but I choose to smile and know that it's not me, it was a bad day. Right?

Flash back Friday - All about Greg

Since Greg's b-day is this Sunday I thought I'd show some fun pictures of him through the years. I don't have many to choose from. I didn't make it down to his parents in Alpine to find some good ones. I don't even have a baby picture to use. So here is the first one, he is probably not quite 2 years old? He is the cute, cute one on the left, his brother Rick is the older kid.

This one Greg is now a kid. I don't have any idea how old he is here, maybe 12? Greg doesn't even know. It just shows how important it is to document pictures. I always make sure I do that.And here he is a senior at Highland High. If I try hard to remember and put myself back in his day, his hair would look normal to me and I totally would have a crush on him if I knew him. The mission. Dig his hat. Russians had to keep warm somehow. This will date him, but I will just say that he was there when communism fell.
Below: What a HOTTIE! This is around when he graduated from the U of U. I was graduating from high school. I would have really had a crush on him if I knew him then! Next time I'll have to get a picture of him in law school, when I met him, with his longer hair.

Years later, present day, and he is married with two little boys, one looks just like him. It's kinda neat to see how much Jax looks like Greg. I can see photos and picture what Jax will look like.
Happy Birthday to the love of my life. I am so happy to have found you. You are the best husband. You work so hard and play hard too. You always love to have fun. The boys are always so delighted when you walk in the door. You make me want to be a better person, you are always encouraging me and helping me with goals I want to reach. I love that you are so organized. You can fix just about anything. Or know who to call for help. You are a great father to your children. You are my best friend and I look forward to our life together for years to come. Is that cheesy enough? Greg is very good at writing anything, songs, letters, contracts. So I hope this works for him.

And word to our mothers! Happy Mom's Day everyone!
