The dentist.
I almost like the adult surgical gloves better than the smile.
The dentist told me I should start flossing his teeth. It sucked.

I married a good man.
My husband loves to teach people how to water ski and wake board. A few weeks ago he took the 14 year old boys from our ward to help them earn their water ski merit badge or something. They had a blast. They camped overnight, went boating, and boated some more. The other leader that was there made a dvd of their trip and showed it at the last pack meeting. They all had a great time. One of the boys has a little brother who was so jealous he couldn't go, he's only 12. (And he's a hand full. Last Sunday we found him in our primary closet with a mouthful of nursery treats.) My husband is so kind, he invited him and his older brother to accompany us to do some water skiing.
Here is Ryan giving instruction to the boys. Grant has a mouthful of something he probably put in his mouth an hour ago. When he eats cheese, he sucks on it for so long it turns into milk.
The excited 12 year old. Ryan makes kids earn their way out of the orange life vests. This kid got up on a wake board on his second attempt. Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of his older brother or either of them in the water.
I would never invite two random kids from my church to go skiing. They won me over by the end of the evening. They were so nice to Grant, they took him swimming so I didn't have to, they shared their treats with him, they let him wear their sunglasses when he was complaining about the sun in his eyes. They were good kids.
The boys took about 50 pictures of me that day. They also made fun of me for my make up running all over my face after my run.
They said I was the best water skier ever. I didn't tell them any different. As far as they're concerned, it doesn't get any better than me. (Ryan didn't ski yesterday.)

Lake Powell 2011
I was blessed with in-laws that love to spend time with. How you not want to hang out with this guy?
My husband. Watching him ski is one of my favorite past times.
This is my father-in-law. He's 70 years old. Yes, 70.
Grant became a lifejacket swimmer.
I love Lake Powell. I love Lake Powell. I love Lake Powell.
This year we were joined by the super cool Evans family. Mae really is the epitome of cool, I'm so glad we're cousins, but even gladder that we're friends.
P.S. Have I mentioned that I'm pregnant? Due 11/11/11. It's a boy. I'm excited.

The Magic Kingdom
When Ryan and I got married he told me he had a life goal to never go to Disneyland.
The things you do for love.
I was on the phone with my sister 3 weeks before the trip, I told her Ryan and I were planning a trip to Disneyland. Before I knew it, my sister and her family of 6 were coming with us. Read her blog about the trip here. We invited both of our little brothers to go as well and my mom joined us too! We also met up with our lifetime friends Kate and Doug.
We had a large group. When the cast members working the rides asked us how many were in our party, we proudly answered, "TWELVE!!!"
If you think Ryan didn't have fun, just look at this photo when he met Pluto.
The whole gang on Jungle Cruise.
Cousins!!! Please move to Utah. Grant loves you guys so much.
I have so many more pictures, maybe I'll just do a picture post.

Reunited and it feels so good.
Did you know my husband is in the military? He is and he's been deployed to the Middle East for the last 6 months. Well, he came home February 4th. I was so excited to pick my husband up at the airport, we got there a little early.
Grant hangs on anything he can find. He found this ledge at the airpot.
I couldn't stop staring at the escalator waiting for my husband's combat boots to appear at the top. Turns out a lot of military travel through the airport so after I saw 15 pairs of combat boots, I was nervous he wasn't coming home.
Then, I saw him. He looked so hot.
Grant fell instantly in love. He found out I'm the boring parent right away. He hasn't left Ryan's side, except when I won't give it up.
I feel very blessed to be a military wife. I have great pride in the United States of America, and I love and support our troops. Escpecially my husband.
I decided when he left I was going to keep a daily journal and give it to him as a gift upon his return home. I kept it for a week.
He missed quite a bit while he was gone.
Grant discovered basketball. He loves it!
I had a miscarriage, it was really tough. Luckily, I've been blessed with a mom who was there for me through the whole thing.
My mom got married. We had an awesome trip to Seattle to be there for the special occassion.
Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and my 31st birthday.
Tonight before you go to bed, say a prayer for the military. They work hard and make huge sacrifices. All of which they do with pride and honor.
Welcome Home Ryan!

A Close Call.
I almost got in a car accident today. On the freeway. I had to slam on my breaks to avoid rear ending the car ahead of me. It was the kind of incident that you want to pull off to the side of the road to collect yourself.
How did this happen, you ask?
Did someone cut me off? No.
Did someone swerve into my lane by mistake? No.
Did I hit black ice? No.
Was I texting? No.
Was I distracted by Grant? No.
I was listening to Les Miserables and was singing along...with my eyes closed.
I sounded phenomenal.
