Catching Up!!!

2011-03-02T10:57:00.000-08:00

I have not blogged for so long. I swear everytime I post this is what is says. But seriously. I don't really like blogging for the fact that my internet takes so long so doing a post takes me over an hour but here we go. This is for Mick!!!!
I have wanted to re do this entertainment center for soooo long. I finally was talkin to miss Sierra and she talked me into it... She was so sweet to come help and Erin too. I felt bad there poor kids would cry when they left the room. But they are so sweet to help. THANK YOU THANK YOU...
And to Drew and Dab to for helping with the finishing touches.
SO HERE IT IS BEFORE...

AND AFTER!!!!!

Oaks decided she wanted to be a BIG girl and cut her hair all on her own. She looked like a German child mixed with a Mullet dirty Trash.

Such a little Stinker. She is so cute but Darn her... Thank you to Steph she saved the day and cut Oaks hair. It looks a little better she still has really short bangs but it makes for great pictures... I HOPE it grows fast.

Beatiful Clark!!!

Playing Dress up in Mommy's underwear and work out Top.

Oaks-
Is getting so big. She has been so sick this past week and it makes me so sad that she doesn't feel good. Yesterday she was supposed to be taking a nap. I went in to check on her cause I could hear a lot of noise walked in and she had her entire swimming suit around her waist side ways through the leg no undies on. She sees me sits up. HI MOMMY!!! I just laughed. She is so cute even when she is sick... Needless to say there was no nap yesterday.
She is talking so much more. Most of it doesn't make sense especially when she gets upset. She only wants to Listen to Ariel and Firework song in the Car.
Loves to play dressup, play in moms makeup, putting on shoes, going to the park (especially the swings) She does not share her toys very well when friends come over. WE ARE WORKING ON IT. She is not a big eater. But she LOVES the popcorn chicken from Wal Mart. She also Likes PB and J sandwiches and Oatmeal. ANd Can you believe it Broccoli.
Oaks I want you to know how much I love you.
I am so proud to be your mom. You are a light in my life. You are the thing that keeps me going every day... You are in my every thought. I am trying so hard to be a good mom for you. To teach you what is right.(even though most of the time you are reminding me to Pray) We are working so hard on your ABC's and you colors and even though you aren't really listening to me I know you get it. You just are more interested in Blocks and playing with the Toy Kitchen and thats ok. I know you are smart and you are so sensitive to peoples feelings. You know when I need a hug and I am so thankful for your hugs. Thanks for being my best friend and for you patience. I know I don't have a lot of it. But I am trying.
One of my favorite things you are saying these days is says Paint this( when you want to paint in the tub or paint your toe nails... Which usually comes out as Penis. It makes me giggle you are so darn cute.
Thanks for being my sweet girl. I'm sorry when I have to go to work it breaks my heart every time I leave you I cry.
But I get so excited when you come to my work and you run into my arms and your so happy to see me. Your my sweetest girl and I am so thankful for you.
I LOVE YOU...

Love Mommy

Surgery...

2010-11-29T12:31:00.000-08:00

I feel like I'm going to throw up Right now. i am trying so hard to take my mind off of it all. I had surgery on Wed of last week and BOY what a treat it was. I had a screw put in my foot to hold it back together and they cleaned it all out. Dr. Powell is amazing and did a great job. It hasn't swelled up at all which I am so thankful for. I have been drugged up for a week though and I don't like being on Drugs at all I can not imagine getting hooked on this stuff it makes me sick.
I can't put any pressure on my foot for 8 WEEKS that is a really long time. I bet I forget how to walk. My arms sure are going to be strong from crutches.

Things that keep going through my mind. I don't know if it's the Drugs or what. :)

I want to have another baby. I never thought I would say that but I do want one. Even if it's just for the Sake of Oaks I think she needs a sibling. It's not going to happen any time soon but I am FINALLY READY. Now it just seems like every thing else in our family life is not in place.

I keep thinking about presents for everyone for Christmas. I bought some stuff online today and I hope I did good even though I am Drugged.

I think I really am going to THROW UP.

I have been crocheting like a mad woman

Ok enough posting. i better get off this computer before I hurl.
HOpe you all have a great week!!!!

Always trying to catch up...

2010-11-16T21:37:00.000-08:00

I feel like I'm always trying to catch up with this BLOG thing but at least it gets done at one point. It's kind of late to be starting this but I can't sleep. I just found out today that I will need to have Surgery on my foot after all and my heart is broken. I was finally getting in shape doing CROSS FIT and I was seeing the changes in my body... I've had such a hard time the last three months trying to set a goal to get back for my foot to heal. But it hasn't gotten better. My tendon (LIZ FRANK) has ruptured. SO LAME!!!! Well this surgery is for sure going to set me back A LOT. I will be down for 2 weeks and then for 6 weeks after that. I will need to stay off it no pressure on it at all. REALLY???? I don't know how I will do this with a two year old. But she is so great. I know we will have lots of resting time. and indoor time. Christmas activities I guess. Oh I just keep crying I am so sad. THIS TO SHALL PASS RIGHT. Ry was really sweet he just came home and HUGGED me so tight. He sees how sad it makes me feel. My body by the way is going back to crap I have to do something about it... Goal upper body at least. Even though my lower half is what needs it the most. At least they didn't tell me they have to take my foot off right? I will survive...

Here is a little post about the Shark Reef

These pictures are of us when we went to Vegas on a little Family get away and went to the Shark Reef it was really cool. It smelled weird but Oaks loved the Fish and Ry too:) We got to touch the Sting Rays which was pretty cool. I was expecting to see a great white. There wasn't anything that big but it sure was fun to be there. And spend some time together.

My little Princess thinks she can get anything out of the pantry these days. She thinks she is so big and also the KID won't it a darn thing I make.. She covers her mouth and screams. Oh boy am I in for it. I will keep trying I guess if she get hungry enough she will eat correct? Oh please don't be picky forever. You will miss out on so many great foods. Funny the girl will eat Broccoli but not shredded pork, green beans and stuffing. Oh well PATIENCE

Random Family picture at Ryan's works fourth of July Breakfast RY was in Charge of it and it looked great and went really well GOOD JOB SWEETIE.

Oaks figured out how to open my Mascara. Fantastic. Doesn't she look so nice.

More catch up later I better get to bed. Long work day tomorrow...

2010-10-31T07:51:00.000-07:00

Oaks is 2

2010-08-18T23:21:00.000-07:00

My baby is 2 can you believe it? It's one in the morning and I am just about ready to go and read my scriptures and hit the sack. But I just wanted to say how much I love my Oaks and the sweet girl that she is. This picture pretty much sums her up. FULL of IT. PERSONALITY.... My goodness. What a dolly. I am so proud to be her mom. I think about what was going on RIGHT now two years ago and I was still walking the halls of the hospital wishing and praying she would come. What a crazy experience. I wish I could pause time and that she would never grow up. But at the same time I'm excited to watch her grow and learn. She is so smart and so sweet... Watching her go to dance the other day for the first time was so cute it seriously melts my heart. I am excited to see the changes she will make this next year. I hope the terrible twos are fun and that we can get through all they bring... I really don't think they will be that terrible. She is talking so much and the more she can communicate the better right? We'll see I guess... HAPPY BIRTHDAY my little sweet girl.

Sis the things I love about you...
- When I come and get you in the morning and you are so excited to see me.
- When you are surprised I love the look on your face.
- When you eat a big breakfast, lunch or dinner I don't feel as stressed.
- When you dance, and sing ariel no matter what princess you are looking at.
- How girlie you are
- When you ask me a million times if you can "watch a movie mom" it cracks me up even though I say no 10 times I finally give in cause your so darn cute..
THAT WON'T ALWAYS WORK WITH ME wink wink
- When you brush my hair, or want your toes painted
- When you dress up and want your daddy to tell you how pretty you look
- I love when you hug me and give me kisses even though two seconds before you probably head butted, or slapped me...
- When you ask where NIA is
- When you carry around any purse you can find
- When you jump, march, play pirates, read with me....

I love everything about you and I hope you have a great Birthday sis...
LOVE MOM

My Little Dancer...

2010-08-17T14:29:00.000-07:00

Today was Oakleigh's first Day of Dance. At west side studio and she LOVED it!!!!
So cute she got in there and the teacher put little mermaid outfits on the girls and turned on little mermaid music and away she went. She posed for these pictures and it melted my heart. They don't allow parents to be in there because they want the girls to focus and dance. Which I understand but it made me sad that I couldn't be right there. They give them snack time afterward like a little tea party SO STINKIN CUTE!!! She had the biggest grin on her face when she came out. Notice her sad little ouchie on her hand we were getting ready for a wedding reception on Saturday night and she reached up to put her deodorant on like she sees mommy do ;) and I feel so bad the curling iron was right there. It BROKE m¥ hear I felt so bad. But we are taking care of it I just hope it doesn't scar her little precious hand. :(

I know it's not fall yet but I liked the Template:)

2010-08-11T07:06:00.000-07:00

So things are rolling right a long these days. Oak is turning 2 next week she is getting so big.. New thing of the week she does not like me taking her PJs off to put on an outfit for the day she screams and screams... Hopefully it's just a really quick phase... I HOPE!!! She is my little swimming bug and she loves playing with Princess stuff check out what I found on KSL... I love when I find a good bargain she is getting this for her birthday and I can't wait to give it to her...

She will also be getting this...

But we will save this one until Christmas...
I don't want to spoil her too much. Bonus I'm already getting a kick start on Christmas presents so much better than waiting and having no money at the end of the year. Even though that's not how we do Christmas that's how I feel at the end of the year.

A few picture updates

RY and I and my Birthday...

Wes's Baptism such a neat day... Thanks Wes for letting us all be a part of it.

I've tried to load more pictures twice and it doesn't load them so I guess that is all for now.

Dear foot,

2010-08-07T11:27:00.000-07:00

Dear Foot,

Your hurting me. I'm walking funny. I sit and you hurt. Seriously? I have missed working out for a week and it's depressing. Please get better soon so that I can be me again. On another note. I'm thankful I have a foot :)
I love you foot...

Sincerely, Mandi

SIck of IT!!!

2010-07-30T07:24:00.000-07:00

I swear it's like that commercial with the dad and his son where they are making socks because they are sick of nothing fitting...
Well I am sick of getting a product loving it and then it's gone. Under wear luckily I wear alternate of that now cause American eagle doesn't carry the right ones any more. Hollister perfume it was amazing now they don't make it. And the most recent my hair goop. Seriously I love this stuff and they didn't have it at Wal mart. Its cheap stuff but I have tried so many and that one works the very best. Blast oh well... I'm over it I guess... I'm going to check on line I hope they have it...Pray for me...

2010-07-21T18:30:00.000-07:00

I STARTED THIS POST A WHILE BACK WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND FRIENDS CAME OVER SO I TOOK IT OFF BECAUSE I WASN'T READY TO POST IT. PEOPLE SAW THE TITLE AND MAY HAVE THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT BE PREGNANT AND THAT IS FALSE... NOT PREGNANT. JUST ENJOYING LIFE WITH MY SWEET LITTLE FAM. THIS WAS OUR TRIP TO IDAHO SO MUCH FUN THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE PICTURES

This is the view from right out side the cabin. Beautiful huh?

This is the Rat Cabin/Trailor we have the privilege of staying in each time we go to Idaho. My dad killed 24 mice before we even got there. When you go in it smells of Rat piss and bug spray and old carpet all rolled in to one. YUM. But call us CRAZY we love going. Goal is to build something a little nicer well at least something that passes code.

When we first got to the cabin Oak reached down at one of the mouse traps (no mouse inside) and it snapped on her. It's didn't get her but it scared her bad enough. She FREAKED!!! Ha ha ha She wouldn't even walk by that trap the rest of the time. And never tried touching any of the others. One morning we heard this little guy get trapped Oaks and I went to see. She was knee slapping and laughing so hard at this little guys she thought it was so funny I felt so bad but I was laughing at her little reaction. Mice make me sick. But this little guy was so cute. POOR THING. Now he is sleeping forever.

At the Mesa Falls

Ry went Golfing with my Bro Berk and my dad. oak and I lasted about ten minutes enough time for oak to figure out how to drive the golf cart and we almost hit a tree.

Oaks thought it was so much fun picking up the candy and putting it in her bucket. She kept walking right up to the horses, crazy girl!!!

At the Parade So Classy

The Cabin... Please notice the expensive Carpet!!! Ha ha ha

We went to Dave's Jubilee Everyday to eat. It's a bunch of Fried Stuff for like 3 bucks. NO Ry and I never ate it but it's still fun to go along for the ride. Then they have Ice cream that is so YUM and it's only 1 dollar... Everytime you walk in to that Grocery Store it smells weird a mix between pee, grease, and Rat trap. Delicious!!!

- He sings to Oak I love when I catch him singing in Japanese to her

Ry is such a great dad to Oak and will be such a great dad with all the rest of our kiddos when they come to our family.
I am one Lucky Gal to have Ryan in my life and so Is Oak...
I know he will always provide, lead, and guide our family.

2010-06-12T07:34:00.000-07:00

Ry and I had a really fun night last night with Shelle, Klay, Kiss and Derek. We decided to go to Vegas and go to Dicks restaurant (they drop the silverware on the table and throw the napkins in the air so you have to grab them, the waitress was a b*tch, they put funny hats on you that say crude things, the waitress pulled my hair hard, she yelled at ryan, some drunk old lady flashed some guy, it was wild in there, they of course told us we were boring because we weren't drinking ha ha. It was all in good fun I think they could of had a little bit more fun with us but as soon as we didn't order drinks that was it... Ha ha but it was fun to just watch all the people in there. We were going to go to the show but ended up just walking around it was a lot of fun... GOOOOOD TIMES!!!

Linc's blessing Day

2010-06-07T15:07:00.000-07:00

This was on Linc's blessing day it was so special I'm sure mick will be posting all the details so I won't share other than I thought it was perfect the way they did the whole thing. We were so thankful to be a part of it. I put oak in this white dress after the blessing was over so I could get a picture of both Linc and Oak for Grandpa for fathers day but boy that didn't work we put Linc in Oaks arms on a chair and man when she was done she about threw him off the chair off of her lap. I love holding Linc he is just so cute and so sweet and I think Oaks gets a little Jealous it will be interesting when baby number 2 comes to the Wrights house. Oh boy...

Little Update...

2010-06-02T11:15:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I have posted anything at all and my camera is at my mother in laws but I thought I would still update a little on what is going on in our lives.
Ry is the best he has been working so hard at his job and they just love him over there. He is getting ready for a big Fourth of July breakfast that hi is in charge of. He is going back to school in the fall that should be a whole lot of fun I am just excited for him to get going so that we can move on with our lives. We just received a new calling as Nursery leaders and most sundays it Tests my patience but I know there is a reason that we are in there. We have ten little ones that are in our class some weeks more and they are new to Nursery Just leaving mom for the first time so it is a treat to have them in our class. I am finally figuring out what works and what keeps them happy... I have a few more tricks up my sleeves. For any of you that are nursery leaders though I would love any ideas that you might have.
We have been working out at this Gym called CROSS FIT and we are loving it. Not a day goes by that I am not sore. I get nervous before we go and then it's intense and I LOVE IT... Ry is getting stronger and way lean he looks so smokin hot I just love him. His confidence is up and he is just so cute about it all. he is sure an athlete though I hope our kids take after him.
Oaks is the sweetest girl in the world and getting bigger everyday. I am so proud of her she loves to do puzzles these days and tell me the noises the animals make. She is stinkin funny she will bonk herself on the head and say bum or bonk and throw her head back and laugh... She thinks she is quite the comedian. She loves to dance, she will put her hands on the ground and put her leg up in the air behind her it is so dang cute. She keeps doing an underbite with her mouth that stresses me out we tell her show me a good bite and she will bite normal so hopefully it won't be permanent eek. She is talking like crazy, watches movies and sings ariel's song, loves having her toe nails painted, putting on shoes she gets them on the right feet most of the time, she walks her dolls all over the house in a little stroller, and sings ssh ssh ssh to them and pats there back, loves fruit snacks and juice, knows all of her body parts, loves to go swimming but she doesn't want mom to help her in the pool which she quickly learns as I let her go for a split second and she starts to go under water she quickly grabs on to mom and realizes she can't swim just yet but she sure tries, she really likes playing with her cousins, playing like we are airplanes in the grass, cooking with mom, reading stories especially the ones where you open the little flaps and have to find whats inside, bubbles, makeup, doing my hair, She is all girl and I just love it. Enough for now I need to go and do the laundry and the boy next door is keeping Oaks awake by playing the drums. I know your all jealous that we have a band next door. Oh Boy!!!

I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW HOW GREAT MY WIFE IS AS A MOTHER. I LOVE HER MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Even though you are not my mother, you are the greatest mother to our little gorgeous and a wonderful wife to me.
2. I know Oakleigh loves her Baido (Mommy) more than anything in the world.
3. I love how you sing to her every night and show her how much you love her.
4. I love that you are always hugging and kissing her, letting her know that she will always be loved.
5. I know that Oakleigh is going to be a great example to those around her because of who you are and what you stand for.
6. I love how BEAUTIFUL you are.
7. I love how AMAZING you look.
8. I love how you ask me if you look like a mom.
9. You are the greatest example to Oakleigh and I in your love and dedication to our family.
10. I am so grateful that you get to be home with our daughter and be a mommy like you always wanted.
11. I am so thankful for the light that you bring into our home.
12. I know that you are going to be Oak's best friend and all other kids too.
13. I love how you wake Oakleigh up in the morning with the tune of happy birthday.
14. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweetie I could write forever on how Great of a mother you are, but I wanna go in the other room to be with you and Oak's. So, I am going to finish with saying that, ever since I've known you, I knew you were the one in all aspects of life. In a Wife and Mother no one stands at the same level that you do. You motivate me everyday to be a better Husband and Father. I've gotta go cause you just called my name. I LOVE YOU and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY from OAKLEIGH and ME (SF).

Hello is anybody home?

2010-04-25T19:05:00.000-07:00

It was such a great sunday. Great talks at church as much as I could listen.. Oaks kind of has a hard time at church. Any way then took great naps. We went for a walk at the temple. Oak pulled one of the flowers off of the bush I felt bad but then she put it back:) Then we walked up the big stairs when we got to the top she knocked on the doors and waited and knocked again. She looked so confused that no one was coming out to greet her today. That people don't open those big doors. I felt bad but then I told her that it was Jesus's and Heavenly fathers house and she seemed cool with that:) and we went back down the stairs. So much to teach her about the church it so much fun though to explain little things to her and see her reactions to it all. She is getting so big.

Jazz Game

2010-04-24T12:18:00.000-07:00

So for Ryans birthday we went up north and ate at Tucano's one of our fav's the meat is delicious!!! Then we went to the Jazz vs. New Orleans game. Even though we were up high. Ryan loved every minute of it we all had fun shirts and Jerseys on. It was a fun night as a family. The jazz won the game. Next time we go to a game though we are getting court side tickets and it will be a team like the lakers suns or Celtics or something that is an actual real team. We love those close games that are so exciting you know. Sorry if any of you reading are New Orleans fanz... The very end picture of the three guys that talk after the game I thought I was going to be so chill when the camera hit over the fans and just wave and say hi. Oh no the camera hit and it was on I was making faces and waving crazy. I don't even know if I made the shot but seriously mand I just know someday I am going to meet some one that i am a total fan of and I'm going to act like a total idiot. Michael Jackson for instance if I ever could have met him I know I would have been one of the screaming fanz that probably would have passed out. Oh great. But it was so much fun to go to the game and do something that Ryan LOVES...

Me too Oaks Me too.

2010-04-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

I was blow drying my hair yesterday and Oaks was standing there by me and then she found my bra on the ground and was trying to put in on then she got frustrated and started to get sad. It was so darn cute...
I know how you feel Oak it doesn't fit me right anymore either. Thanks to having a baby this "girls" will never be the same. I think it should just be written law when you are all done with babies. It all gets fixed at no cost. Good job moms you Deserve a reward a FULL BODY MAKEOVER... :) Wouldn't that be great!!!!

The Tender things to Remember

2010-04-23T08:17:00.000-07:00

The other day Oaks and I were talking about the scriptures and Jesus and then I mentioned Heavenly fathers name and I looked down at her and she had folded her arms and put her head down and closed her eyes like she was ready for the Prayer. I was so tender to me because she related Heavenly fathers name to Prayer. I just love her she is so innocent and so sweet and wants to learn so much. Sometimes I don't think she is listening but this was a definite blow that she is listening and she is learning from everything I say. I love you oaks thanks for being my little sweetheart. You melt my heart daily and I am so thankful to be your mommy.

Happy really Late Birthday to you...

2010-04-21T06:26:00.000-07:00

Makin a wish...

We were on the HCG diet during Ryan's birthday this year. So this is all the cake he got and he is amazing and didn't even it that much.

This year I didn't know what to get Ryan I had debated an Xbox 360 for so long and went all over looking for one. For the past three years and then I just haven't gotten one and each year he is equally disappointed. Well I thought for sure I was going to get him one and then at the last second decided not to and I just asked his buddy if we could borrow his and then I rented some games. Well I got home that night and accidentally told Ryan that I rented the games OOps and he thought that maybe I had bought the x box but I hadn't. I could see the disappointment yet again for another year running. I asked him if he really wanted one and he said yes. Sooo... We bought an X box. happy flippin Birthday. Those things are expensive but he has put it to great use. The other night I came home from working out and he had his head set on and was playing LIVE. I just laughed. Stood there and laughed he had the cutest look on his face. He looked so Dorky but I just love him. and glad he has something fun to do. But it's been balanced so I am totally cool with it as long as he is still being active Working out and getting things done when they need to be done then hey he can have a relaxing time too right?

This is for Rachel!!!

2010-04-11T08:50:00.000-07:00

These pictures are old they are from the fourth of July when we were in Texas. But I thought I should still post them. We all look so different now wow. oaks is getting so big. Ry has lost a ton of weight and I am no longer blond I went to Red hair and have also lost some weight. Crazy but it's fun to look back. The fourth was lots of fun we hung out at the Parade that was not that good of a parade it was kind of boring. That night we went to this carnival place and hung out with our dear friends Amy and Justin and their daughters Bailey and Hadlee we watched the Fireworks that night with a couple others from AMP. Good night and then we had to get out of the parking lot and that took us at leat an hour and a half. Happy Really late fourth of July. Oaks is awake so I'm out.

This is Oaks and Claire in the tub they are such funny little friends. Claire is such a good girl just loves to run around and talk and play with toys. Oaks likes to take what ever toy Claire has and Claire is so nice she usually lets her unless it is something she really watns to play with. i am trying so hard to help Oakleigh to know we can't just take toys away from people. It is a process and we are trying...

It's true. I love to blog stalk as well and no one is posting any more especially me. I have been trying lately to post and then something will go wrong with my computer and so then I just quit for a while but I am posting for my dear friend Rach today.

Easters

2010-04-04T06:50:00.000-07:00

Well today is easter it is about eight in the morning and I am the only one up of course. Ry and I fell asleep to playing x box 360. A car game that I am not very good at but I am going to practice and surprise him with my skills. I am so excited for Oaks to wake up for her to see her easter basket. Holidays are so fun for me I just love it.
Ok so I am going to update on the last month here it goes I have been putting it off for some time because I don't want to have to wait for the pictures to load on to my computer lame but it just takes to long...

/s320/IMG_0395.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456280890800873426" />
Went to Kelli and Taylor's Cabin at the first of March and it was so much fun to just hang out and relax. The next morning Kelli made french toast and homemade syrup it was really yummy. Thanks for the good time you guys.

The day after the Cabin Ry surprised me and took my down to Vegas for Our anniversary. Earlier that week I was looking through our bank statement and found something on there for it and I decided not to say anything cause I know he was trying to surprise me. i thought we were staying at the Bellagio but even better we stayed at the Residence inn which I love because it has free breakfast buffet YUM and it's like a little house. We did some shopping we went to the Vegas Swap meet and boy was that Ghetto wow and then we went to a couple different malls. We went to dinner and this place called RA I love sushi and Ry was so cute to go there.
Then we went to the Bellagio for the O show and it was amazing. People diving all over in water and bending back wards in half wild it was a very good show. The next morning we at lots of yummy breakfast and then got back to the room and just laid around all morning we fell back asleep for a while and that was so nice to just relax and then I got sick really sick Probably because we are doing HCG and I at way to much while we were down there. Such a fun trip it made me feel so special that Ry would do all of that for me. He is so thoughtful and sweet. Just thinking about him right now makes me smile. Thank you babe for making our trip so special...

Oaks and I were shopping at Wal Mart and found these little tiny Pepperonis and decided to make homemade pizza she really like making it and loves the little pepperonis but not the biggest eater but it was still fun.

We are going to get oak for Easter morning so more later I guess. Happy EASTERS!!!

Today 3 years ago I married my best friend...

2010-03-03T14:45:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking about my sweetheart all day long. I just can't believe that three years ago today I was at the temple marrying my best friend. Kind of crazy that day we were both talking while waiting to get married and realized that a year earlier so March 3rd 2006 we told each other we loved one another for the first time. Wild!!! it was fast too. like 2 or 3 weeks but I was so in love with this man... I was laying in his mom's bed I was so sick and he came in after football practice and nursed me back to health:) I asked him is there something you want to tell me. Long story short I told him i loved him first he told me something completely different when I asked that question we still laugh about it. But he told me he loved me later that night.

So much happened during year number two some high and some lows. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. I know this is going to be a good year.
I would not trade my life with anyone. I love my Ry Guy
- i love his big muscle arms.
- i love his cute butt.
- i love his sweet smile when it's directed at me.
- i love his forgetfullness
- i love it even more when he remembers things whether it be to call and let our land lords know that there is no warm water or whether it be my birthday :)
- i love his hugs
- i love when he pops my back
- i love when he laughs really laughs it's hi pitch and it makes me laugh
- i love his smell his cologne is so yummy
- i love the way he loves Oaks
- i love that he honors his priesthood
- i love that he loves sports even though I don't love watching them on tv with him I'm glad he loves it
- i love watching him actually play the sports he is so good at whatever he does
- i love when he surprises me
- i love that he has patience with me. SOOOOO much patience
- i love his red shoes
- i love when he get already for work he looks so sharp

A day early...

2010-02-28T13:24:00.000-08:00

I'm doing this a day early cause I'm just so excited!!!! March is such a great month. Spring is here... It's getting warmer outside... The easter candy :) Ry bought seven bags of Cadbury eggs the purple bag) and we can't even eat them it was really cute. He said, " these are special K Mandi we aren't sharing these with anyone k as he put them in the cart. It made me Smile... But the number one reason I love this month is because of my sweetheart it's our Anniversary month big # 3 this year and it's his birthday month. I already got him one of his presents and I am so excited and he has no clue what it is. he'll probably read this and come and ask me what it is. but I'm not telling. I love birthdays and he is a lucky guy to be born on March Seventeenth. Lucky Lucky Lucky
Happy March everyone

V day

2010-02-26T12:30:00.000-08:00

So about two weeks before valentines day Ry came home and was so excited to show me something. Oaks and I were already in the car ready to head out to some adventure and i was a little stressed but he was so excited. He told me to close my eyes so I did. He ran something inside and then came out to get me. This is what I found...

I was super excited... He was even more excited telling me all about it and how long he had planned on getting it... Then he said Happy Valentines Day... And how selfish am I really my initial thought was it's not valentines Day... That better not be it... I feel like a terrible person... He put so much effort into it all... I told him thank you so much and we left... I still was feeling stressed and frustrated that he was late again making a living for a family ( disappointed with myself again) I started to yell at him.. Why? Why do I yell at the man that I love the most in this world... I have so much to work on... I need to humble myself and stop getting so frustrated so easily and so quickly... I have really been working on this lately. I pray for patience. I pray that I am enjoyable to be around. I pray that I don't push away those that I love...
So note to my sweet husband who tries so hard and who probably gets discouraged thinking he can never do anything right and that I don't notice when you do help. I notice your every move the little things you do for our family. When I come home and the floor is vaccumed, when you read to Oak, when you come up behind me when I'm cooking and you hug and kiss me, when you know I am stressed or bugged about something you give me the little hand squeaze, when you empty the dishwasher, the trash, make our bed. When you make me laugh... Oh I love to laugh with you... It's the best. I notice the things you do for me. I'm sorry I get selfish and think of just me... you are so giving and work so hard... Thank you sweetie. I love you... I'm working on me everyday... My dad for valentines day got me the book The Peace giver and it is such a good book I recommend it to all I'm about a third of the way through the book and I am learning so much already.

Oaks got the cutest present from Mee Ma (grandma Ward)

a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wsZPauvhUgw/S4g6xHO0MeI/AAAAAAAAAZY/q9bYRqRtp-M/s1600-h/IMG_0340.JPG">

She got this cute dog and pants and shirt. She gave me the coolest cupcake cookbook I made the frosting for the valentines cookies from it and I love it. i look forward to the times I can make more cupcakes. Thanks mom for getting us stuff for love day. So sweet of her.

Ry and I got Oak the little pig pet shop and a brownie and a Princess wand.

<

I just got Ry some little things, transformers 2, a card, smoothie V8, fiber bars which he loves.

We were up north for Valentines it was a long ride home that day Oaks was frustrated and wanted to get out of her car seat the whole time... Ry and I were fighting over something so silly I can't even remember what it was but I selfishly brought up that he missed yet another holiday when he really didn't he had done it already two weeks earlier. (mand you selfish turd)
i got home and found these in Oaks crib

So cute... right?
I love this man I am a brat to him and yet he still loves me and can say all those nice things about me. I have truly been humbled this Love day. Thanks Ry for making and effort to make me feel special even if I'm a stinker...

The little things she does...

2010-02-21T22:00:00.000-08:00

So tonight I had Oaks in the tub and she was drinking the water and I told her please don't do that... Then I told her, "Ok it time to wash your body." She stuck her hand out ready for the soap. i put some in her hand and she has never done this before but she went to put it in her mouth. Quickly she realized that was a bad idea it tasted awful you could tell. She the picked up the cup again and started to drink. Then started to choke. (when she chokes on food or drink I always grab one arm and raise it in the air) well she took a drink of the tub water and then raised her own hand. It was so stinkin cute. She quickly recovered and went back to playing in the water. It's amazing how much she picks up on... It makes me want to be a good person because I know she is watching my every move...

Sidenote: I have been looking at bedding for our room and kind find exactly what I want. So far I like Anthropologie bedding but it's pretty expensive... Any ideas? Secret web finds that rock for this kind of stuff...

I actually have been making a quilt for sometime now but I just don't love it yet. I love what I see in my head but when I put it together it just looks wrong the idea is so cool my inspiration is... This knob I love it!!!
and the quilt is very similar I just want it to all come together...
Big problem I don't quilt.....

Family Home Evening!!!

2010-02-16T08:26:00.000-08:00

We have been trying harder to have FHE each Monday night and the last two weeks have been so fun. Last week I surprised Oaks and Ryan and went to Walmart and bought a fire pit and hot dogs and firewood( from maverick don't buy it there it's all wet and it wouldn't burn very good) but came home put it all together really quickly I had to tell ry though sooner cause I needed his help putting it together and then we had roasted marshmallows and sat by the fire. Oak loved it!!!!! It will def. be something we will do lots...

This weeks family home evening was making sugar cookies for family for Valentines Day. A day late but it was fun to make them Oak was a great helper...
She was so cute when she would push the cookie cutter in she would shake cause she was pushing so hard. It was really sweet. THen she kept eating the cookie dough. She used the rolling pin and everything. Good job oak!!!! Ry was very helpful too... So stinkin cute. My mom gave me this cupcake cookbook for Valentines so I decided to use that to make the frosting but you have to hold your bowl over the stove while you make it and Ry was sweet enough to hold the bowl while I mixed for NINE MINUTES and what he failed to tell me is it was burning his hands the whole time. Thanks trooper Ry for helping me it turned out really yummy and the cookies were good.
Now today oak and I will deliver the Cookies FUN!!!

Happy Love Month!!!

2010-02-01T08:39:00.000-08:00

I love this month it's a short one:) and it's all about love... I don't really love this holiday but I love the decor and colors and I love getting stuff for Ry and now Oak too.

HIP HOP

2010-01-14T21:19:00.000-08:00

So tonight I took my first hip hop class. It was awesome... I'm terrible. Terrible Terrible but it was a blast. It was completely out of my comfort zone I think way to much about the steps and I'm sure my face is ridiculous but once I get the steps then I can throw me in there. Right now I can't even get past the second step ithe dance... SAD... But it is going to be so good for my confidence.
I'm proud of my self for doing something new. We'll see what I do next. For now I am a hip hopper... :) Ha ha
I practice more when I got home and I will continue every night cause I won't go back to the class as bad as I was tonight. I'm excited for next week. And I can't wait till tomorrow cause I get better everyday... Right???

THIS GIRL...

2010-01-12T18:28:00.000-08:00

The other day I was going through Oaks clothes taking out all the ones that she has out grown and adding the ones that are now her size and allof a sudden I look down and Oak has gotten this little back pack for Christmas well she is packing her bag as fast as she can full of all the clothes that i had folded in her drawers. I was laughing so hard I quickly got the camera to catch this little theif in action... It was so cute... Oaks you keep me on my toes.

Thank you friends

2010-01-12T18:26:00.000-08:00

Thank you so much all for the advice life has been so much better I actually have done a mixture of all of it and it seems to be working.. So Thank you. You have saved my sanity. Oaks is getting better every night last night she slept all the way through the night..WOOT!!!

Today... I am tired... and need advice

2010-01-08T14:34:00.000-08:00

Oaks is not sleeping it has been going on for sometime and I have about had it...
She wakes up at around 4 am and just wants to cry and cry all night long... What do I do? and if i console her it only makes it worse...
She is getting teeth but I think it's now just out of habit because when I go get her after hours of screaming and me getting no sleep nor Ry either she stops the minute I pick her up? Any suggestions what to do? Cause I really need sleep...

Sticker Girl

2010-01-07T20:09:00.000-08:00

A New Year a New Slate...

2010-01-05T21:36:00.000-08:00

I love a new year. It feels like a fresh start. I have been thinking about what I would like my goals to be for this year. and i feel like

I would really like to grow a lot this year...
my spirituality (testimony of the church) by attending the temple more often going to church every sunday... To big goals for me. oaks will be going to Nursery in Feb and I'm excited for that so I can focus on the lessons and better myself...

I would like to do something out of my comfort zone so I think I am going to take a Hip Hop class it will be a great work out and it will build confidence in myself.

I am going to run the marathon or a half and a Tri this year. I want to feel comfortable in a swim suit... I also want to play volleyball and not feel like I'm tugging at my shirt the whole time because my lose baby skin is still on my stomach...

I want to Go to Nail tech school sometime this year my ultimate goal is to be a stay at home mom and I think I could be good at nails so hopefully that is in the plan...

I also would like to finish putting my house together so that I feel like it is tidy and clean... i feel crazy and stressed when there is clutter...

My ULTIMATE goal this year is a HAPPY HOME... To be HAPPY in my marriage... To be HAPPY being a mom... And to be HAPPY with myself...

So many great things to come in 2010...

Happy New Year to You All!!!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!

2010-01-04T22:03:00.000-08:00

I hope this will be a new tradition for the ward girls...
Even though our Micka couldn't be there she was so missed the whole time we kept saying how much more fun and funny the situations would have been if mick would have been there. I hope next year she can make it...

Any who my mom put together one of the funnest girl nights I have ever had. We got to the hotel room and on the door was this cute sign and then we went in and Jess and Mom sang surprise songs and then we all sat down and My mom had put together a veggie and fruit tray. She had bubbly and m&ms. it was so darn cute. We chatted for a while and then we decided to go shopping we went to Target and spent money on things that none of us really needed but it sure was fun!!!
Then we went to Old Navy and played there. We were getting pretty hungry by this time so we went to Mandarin Buffet (NOT MY CHOICE) GROSS!!!
But we ate greasy food up to our ears. Tried the crazy old desserts (steph got her cheese raggoos) :) and then we were so cold we were all shivering so we ran back to the hotel and got in the hot tub... Then we just ate chocolate and talked some more we ended up watching Horders and we all fell asleep. Well kind of I had to share a bed with steph and I couldn't cross the line. So the whole night I worried that I was crossing the line and I was FREEZING. The next morning Oaks got there so we went swimming it was so great I missed her. Then I woke everyone up ha ha and we went to Urban renewal and Twentyfive main it was so much fun I'm excited for next year. Thanks girls for such a fun time. Mick I love you and I'm sad you weren't there...

Christmas Morning

2010-01-03T14:45:00.000-08:00

I don't know why but we didn't take very many pictures on Christmas morning it was really fun though I'm not sure Oak really got it this year all she wanted to do was play with Jaksyns barbie it was cute next year will be a lot of fun!!!

Oaks got a cabbage patch doll from her cousin Ethan we draw names every year and up at the Pine valley cabin we exchanged gifts it was really fun...

I made this little bunny from a Build a bear for Oaks for christmas it took me over three hours I finally quit the stinkin thing and sewed up the crotch of the bunny ghetto style so the stitching is on the outside sorry little bunny. Never Again

Walking down to presents Christmas morning

Christmas

2009-12-31T15:45:00.001-08:00

What a wonderful Christmas it has been this year...
We started it all by meeting at Deyton's Graveside to wish him a merry christmas. it was really neat. Klay prayed, Rance sang, Derek and Kiss both shared their thoughts and then they gave each of us a picture of Deyton,then Cassidy and Adam gave them a book that we all had written things about Deyton and the time that we all got to be with him. Kiss shared a poem that a boy had written write before he died of cancer and it was about this boy sharing Christmas with Jesus. Deyton we sure miss you and love you. I wish we could have watched you open your presents this year and watch you light up and smile as your mom showed you the lights and jingles each toy made. As I watched the other kids ( all of your cousins) I thought of you. I can only imagine how your mommy and daddy felt. And even though they miss you so much. How proud they are that you get to spend Christmas with Jesus this year...

Christmas this year was at Ry's mom and dads this was christmas eve.
We had a dinner that is a Tradition at Grandma and Grandpa Wrights house which is a fondue dinner and then we cleaned it all up and opened Jammies and then we had a talent show Oak danced I have video of it but it won't import to my computer still have to figure that one out and then we went around and looked at the light anticipating Santa's Arrival it was a great Christmas eve...

What could be better than Popcorn and Christmas Jams...

Surprise Jammies

Ry loves them!!! Jordan Jams

More Pictures of Christmas to come. But for now we are headed up north to Help Mick and Brade move into their new home. HaPpY NeW YeAr EvErYoNe!!!

Merry Christmas to us... Let the posting Begin!!!

2009-12-22T22:31:00.000-08:00

So We saved all our moneys and we are getting big stuff for Christmas this year... SO exciting we got a camera... Because the one from Ry's mission well it got honey in it I let oak play with it... oops:(
But she is not allowed to play with this one. it's so nice and we are so excited to take pictures again... With out a wind up camera... Neat

A Tender Picture

2009-12-22T21:49:00.000-08:00

This is such a sweet picture of my mom. I was looking through the pictures of Oak being born and this one brought tears to my eyes. I didn't even know she was there until after Oak was born(my mom). She had gone home to shower made it home and had a feeling to come right back. She watched Oak be born but kind of behind a curtain. I said I was so sorry because I thought she had missed it all but she said I was in the perfect spot just where I needed to be. She explained it just the way I can imagine it will be when and if I get to watch my daughter have a baby. Never wanting them to feel pain or heart ache or sorrow. It's a pain that you can't understand until you have been through it and it's a pain you can't take away or help that person stop feeling until it's done. She said all I wanted to do was to take that pain away from you and I couldn't. She just cried... I love you mom this picture is so tender because you can see the love and joy in her face.

It's about time...

2009-11-13T13:45:00.000-08:00

It has been a crazy few weeks I don't have a camera but I'm still going to post a little something. I am loving this time of year the smells of Pumpkin spice and baked goods the colors of the leaves the weather is getting colder which means cute hoodies.
My Oaks is getting bigger every minute she is just growing up.A lot lately I have been thinking about baby #2 and when is the best and RIGHT time for us to start trying again NO TIME SOON but at least it's a thought for me and that is progress...
But baby #1 is keeping me plenty busy. I have been working a lot lately but every second I can be with her I just am loving it. Her newest thing these days is going to drive me crazy though. We have to make sure all the doors are closed to the Bathroom because she loves to play in the potty little hands in the toilet flickering about!!!
The other night I was washing my face and she snuck in and she had gone over to the toilet so mid face wash soap in my eyes and all I ran over to get her out not only were her little cute pudggy hands in the potty but in that little hand was MY RETAINER!!!
Can you believe it!!! Sick so I quickly took it out of her hands closed the lid I couldn't help but laugh and proceeded to sanitize my retainer to no end SICK!!!
Thanks Oaks for the added protein to my retainer. Kids do the Darndest things.

HOMELESS :(

2009-09-01T14:25:00.000-07:00

Well we are oficially home and we are so happy. RY flies out to Virginia for one month left of selling on Thursday and I'm sad but I'm excited for him and I hope it goes so well. He is just so wonderful and I am so proud of him and how hard he works for our family. Thanks bay bay I love you.
So my post today is really to see if any one know of some great rental places. Since we moved back from Texas we are kind of homeless. My family in law are so welcoming and we are living at their house right now but we would love to have a place of our own. We have looked everywhere and can't seem to find what we are looking for. And they are everywhere. Some are ghetto though eek!!! We want a 3 bedroom so we have enough room for all of us and lets be honest we have a lot of stuff I never knew how much we had until we moved this last time and I don't want to pay for a storage unit any more.
I need any office too that will be the third bedroom for all of my business stuff.

So please if you know of any great places or great deals let me know!!!

THANKS

So long TEXAS... Well almost...
and I wish... I am so excited we have a week until we are finally going home to Utah and I feel like we should be leaving today I am tired and I will not miss this job at all. It has been so hard and so stressful and so much Drama. I had no idea that GUYS could be that much DRAMA. More so than my beloved Simister Orthodontics that has 17 girls working together and there is NEVER drama there it is the greatest. I am so excited to get back in the swing of things and be back to my old job with the people I love to be around. I have had guys yell in my face and tell me I'm worthless. I have had one dishonest guy after another trying to get me to cheat the system in one way or another and I just nicely tell them NO!!!! I won't do that but this is what you can do... SMILE...
I have dealt with cockiness, pride, crudeness, attitude, all of it and I'm TIRED. I have worked so hard and I am Tired now. But I have been lucky in that I get to have Oaks with me all day and she is the best she is so fun she is starting to play with me and mimick my every move. I love it... SHe is so stinkin cute and my best friend in the world. She gets tired though too. i think she is ready to be in UTah and be with family. Ha Ha
Ryan is not going to be home with us though he is going to be in Virginia for another month. I hope it goes well it will be hard to have him away. I have a lot planned to keep me busy though. Hopefully it goes well so that he can go to schoool in the spring. That will be nice.
Any way one week one week I just keep repeating it in my head.

For her birthday we went and got her all dressed up and got pictures taken of her we had to settle for the picture people here in texas. We love that we get spoiled at home. But they did a pretty good job!!! We spent a pretty penny but that's ok it's totally worth it. As soon as I can figure out how to post those pictures I will cause they are all blown up and printed so if any one knows how to do that it would be great. Oh she had breakfast too. while at the pictures she dug into her birthday cake and boy she didn't waste any time. She just went at it she demolished the cake... But I still tasted it and it was so good. Ha ha I love the FROSTING the BEST.
Then while they were finishing the pictures editing them and such we went over to the BUILD A BEAR and Oak was so cute she kept laughing at all the bears. Hugging wach one and kissing them on the nose. Then she decided on her bear tough decision between that and a bunny rabbit that was so soft. But because we were at Build a Bear she went with that. Then we kissed the heart and she stuffed the bear which was super loud and scared her she was crawling all over Ryan trying to get away from the noise then, we washed the bear. We tried to pick up clothes for it and Oak just kept pushing the clothes away. So Simple and easily pleased I'm so thankful for that about her then we left and picked up the pictures. We had the hardest time deciding and then left. Oak was out cold. Mouth open and everything. So stinkin cute. We now are at work for the Duration of the day. We will play and then tonight she get a lunchable which she picked out all oner her own and was just so excited about it. We'll see if she actually eats it though. We love you Oakleigh and we are so blessed and thankful to have you in our home. We are excited for this next year how fun it will be to see how you grow this year and the new things you will learn.

Her is some pictures of OAK... Old and NEW

This is Ry and I's sweet nephew Deyton Kash Sorenson.
Tears are streaming down my face as I write this post today. My heart is filled with Love, pain, heartache, confusion, and peace. I received a text from Krystal Deytons mom while I was out for my morning run on Tuesday that there son was coming that day. I was so excited for them. If any one knows Krystal and Derek they are two of the neatest, strongest, and greatest individuals I have ever met. Krystal is the best mommmy and Derek the Proudest dad as you can see in this picture of Derek and Deyton below. He was born on Tuesday night and he weighed 8 lbs 6 oz. and IDENTICAL TO HIS DADDY. Kiss didn't have any medicine or anything while delivering him. That is unbelievable to me. We wished we could have been there. I received a call from Ryan on Wed saying that Lisa would be calling in a minute with worry in his voice. I quickly became concerned and he shorty explained that Deytons heart had not been fully developed and that they were life flying him up to Primary Childrens Hospital. He hung up and Within seconds Lisa called and explained it to me a little more in detail. My heart broke. I began to sob and then pulled it together so that Ry and I could say a prayer for Deyton and his mom and dad. We felt Helpless as we are so Far away in Dallas. We got tickets and headed to the Airport. We were flying stand by and we were bumped off of so many flights it was so discouraging Thursday passed and then We tried again the following day. I just knew how important it was for Ry to get to Utah to support is Little Sister. I Kept praying and praying that we would get on a flight. We finally made it to Utah and to the Hospital. We imediatley went in the room to see them. Kiss and Ry embraced and I went over to hug Derek and he looked me in the eyes and said this is my BOY. I lost it.... It sure is Derek. What a proud dad. We sat there for a while and chatted and were given more details there were two choices one a heart transplant, which wouldn't guarantee anything he would probably spend his whole life in the hospital or they take him home and enjoy every minute that they had with them. That night at 9:00 they gave him a name and a blessing. I have never listened and been present for a stronger blessing. Derek was very in tune with our Heavenly Father. They decided to take Deyton home. What a hard decision but it was so right and you could feel that in the room. We stuck around until about midnight and then went to the hotel. The next morning we went back and they were getting him already to go home. You could tell on Derek and Krystal's faces just how at peace they were and excited that they were taking their little tough guy home. They arrived home in St. George with a welcome sign and balloons and family there to greet them. They go to bathe him and took pictures he got to be in his room. Ry and I had to split and he went down to St. George and I came back here to get things taken care of and so this morning I was at the Airport about to get on the airplane and Ry called saying not to get on the plane and to come to St. George. I didn't know what to do but I felt like I should come home and then go back when things were taken care of here. When I arrived home I called Ry and Deyton had been fighting for his life. Kiss and Derek just kept repeating to him that it was ok to go home. He went home to Our Heavenly father at 11:10 this morning. I completely broke down at the airport. Derek, Kiss and Deyton. I want you to know how much Ry Oak ad I love you guys. Thank you for your example and strength. For your testimonies and your unwavering faith. I can just imagine those that were there to greet him. He came to earth to do what he needed to. To gain a body and Return to our Heavenly Father. I'm sure he is telling everyone how wonderful it was and what incredible parents he has. Thank you Deyton for being a light in our lives. WE LOVE YOU. LOVE YOUR UNCLE RYAN AND MANDI AND COUSIN OAKLEIGH

This WEEK I had to be a single mom!!!

2009-07-18T12:10:00.000-07:00

This week my husband was not home at all. They made the guys go to a new Area in Wichita Falls TX which is about two and a half hours away from here so they just got hotels. I am so thankful that I have my sweet Ryan. This job has definetly been a challenge to me. I get discouraged and feel down. Message to Oak: Thanks for putting up with mommy even though i get a little frustrated and why you ask? I have no idea you are perfect and you sit in the office all day long and never complain about anything. You sometimes get a little bored but you are so cute. YOu usually find something to do even if is just playing with an empty box. YOur the best I love you Oak. Jess you are wonderful as well. My little sis is out here and she helps keep me sane she is always so willing to help or to listen or to hug me when I cry even though sometimes I don't want a hug. I'm kind of a brat. But I am trying so hard. Thanks for all who have put up with me this last little while. My GOAL for this next week patience. and not to get discouraged. Only a few more weeks. We can do it!!!! Here are some pictures from this week...

MY TWIN!!!

2009-07-11T06:22:00.000-07:00

I want to wish my twin a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Where do I even begin to describe how much I love and respect this WOMAN.
Mick has been my other half forever. She is my best friend, she makes me laugh on a daily basis. Whether she be dancing, singing little funny songs, telling me about her day, quoting movies, talking about michael jackson, she is so FUNNY!!!
She is REAL, mick doesn't sugar coat anything she is very real with you. I love and admire that about her. She always has great advice. Sometimes I don't want to always hear it because I am stubborn and think my way is correct she is usually one hundred percent correct. She is determined. She has so many talents, whether it be scrapbooking, home decorating, cooking, sports, dancing, clothes buying she has the greatest sense of style, loving- the girl is a lover and is so passionate about her everything. She is so talented and has the "EYE" behind the lense. She is so sweet and would do anything for any one. She is the best Aunt she wants a picture of Oak everyday and tells me how much she loves her. She will be the best mommy in the world. I am so excited for when that day comes cause those kids are going to be so lucky. As I write this post I am crying because I miss my Mick, She is shooting a wedding today on her birthday and I hope that goes well and that she gets to do something fun tonight. Mick I love you here are lots of Pictures like you requested. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This is our birthday last year OH MY GOSH... ha ha ha

K mick there are your pictures for now HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Oak loves her bear.

2009-07-10T16:17:00.000-07:00

This was my bear I think my mom and dad got it for me. Any way my mom was going to throw it away and we decided to take it home. Boy am I glad we did Oaks loves it she plays with her bear and her baby all the time. She is all girl for sure. Even today when I laid her down for her nap she started to fuss and I put her bear right next to her and told her it was taking a nap and she snuggled up right to it and she to fell asleep.

It's birthday week!!!

2009-07-10T16:00:00.000-07:00

Well it's birthday week (as micka calls it) and at the request of Aunt Mikki we are blogging for the second day in a row. Just wait until tomorrow aunt Mick-
I use this as my journal as well so here is an update on what Oak is up to these days. She is the cutest girl in the world. She laughs a lot. She will see an animal or a picture and she will go this little laugh it is so funny. This past sunday in Relief society we had just listened to a great lesson and then it was time to bare testimonies. And this lady was up there baring her soul and Oak was laughing this goofy little laugh and I was trying so hard not to laugh. I started to look around trying to figure out what she was laughing at and it was this little frog on this car seat she just thought he was the funnniest little toad. I felt so bad I apologized and then shared my testimony. She is singing lots. All kinds of fun songs. Her favorite the little mermaid. Sing to me aaaa, aaaa, aaaa. She dances. I'll sing Shake shake shake, shake your booty and she moves her cute little body. And the other song is Boom Boom Pow? I think it's called by the black eyed peas. I'll go... Boom boom boom sissy go boom boom boom and she loves it and she dances. Bobbin her head and moving her arms from side to side. She loves to EAT, her favorites are, chicken nuggets, bananas which she ends up painting everything around her with it. She loves gold fish and pretzels. And sometimes fruit snacks. She likes tater tots too!!! Ice cream she gets sour cold face and then she loves it.
One of her other favorite things to do is when I am trying to change her bum she thinks it is a game and wants to run around on the bed. I'll say I'm going to get you and she will laugh so hard and then face plant it as she tries to go faster on the bed. most of the time she is bare bummed and she gets going and her cute little booty gets a shakin. She is so great!!!
She loves her dad. We don't get to see him until right before bed and she gets so excited when she sees him and then she just wants to hold him and she falls asleep in his arms. It is so cute it melts my heart.

These cute pictures are of her eating some fruit she has so much personality and she is trying to talk so much it is adorable!!!

2009-07-08T16:50:00.000-07:00

Oak is such a trooper. Everyday she goes to work with me. And it's the same thing over and over but the newest thing she does is hides by the shipping boxes she loves it under there it is so cute she cracks me up. Thanks Oaks for sticking it out everyday!!! I love you sweet girl

2009-06-12T13:34:00.000-07:00

We went to the JFK memorial while Jaksyn and Ann were here and it was so crazy. I can't believe that it happened he was a great man and a great president. The whole situation is so surreal to me. It's amazing that they haven't figured it all out yet on who killed him. Someday... Bless his wifes heart though. When it all happened and his cute kids. Kind of interesting to see if you ever get the chance.

2009-06-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

Grandma "mammee" Wright came down to Texas for the past few days and it was so great having her here. When she first got to texas we went to GOLDEN CORRAL for dinner and then to the best outlet mall for 3 hours we walked and we probably made it through half of the stores and then Jess flew in. We were a little sore after that excitment but it was great. Thank you Ann for the great time. Oak loves her mammee

WhO's hAvIn a BiRtHdAy???

2009-05-23T19:55:00.000-07:00

A letter to my mom:
Happy Birthday Mommy,
I never knew how great of a mother I had until I became a mom myself. And I realize how truly BLESSED I am to have you in my life. I have gained a respect and love for you mom beyond any other. I have no idea how you do what you do. And you do it with a smile on your face. Never complaining. You are so selfless. Always putting us kids and dad before yourself. i always wondered why you never sat down to watch a movie with us growing up and mom now I know. It's because you were taking care of all of us. Whether that mean balancing a check book, doing laundry, dishes, reading to us, making our lunches, putting all the things away that we left out, or whatever else it might have been. Thank you mom. Also I thought every girl had a relationship with their mother and through the years I have seen that, that just isn't so. I am so thankful I have a great relationship with you. Your one of my very best friends mom. I can come to you for anything and you fix it. You listen for hours. and I can always tell that you are truly interested and are listening. It means a lot to me. There are so many times when I get frustrated or there is something with Oak that I don't know what to do and you always have the right answer. I hope that your birthday is a wonderful day. I miss you so much. I'm sad I can't be there on your birthday to give you a hug, to get you breakfast in bed, to watch you open all your fun presents, and to watch the movie that you get from your presents :) your the best. We all love you... HAPPY BIRTHDAY. A package is coming to you in the mail sorry It's late but I know you'll like it...
Love Mandi Ryan and Oak

OuR wEeK... CRAZY!!!

2009-05-17T06:39:00.001-07:00

So Oak had it that day. I think this was one of the long days at the office and we had just gotten out of the tub. I put her jams on and we were about to eat dinner and her little head just started bobbin' I would feed her a bite and her head would fall it was so funny I just kept laughing it was so cute. Thanks Oaks for being a TROOPER.

So it's been quite the week. Starting wth the beginning. We were told on Monday that two of the owners would be coming over to the office. Boy were we not prepared for what was instore. They came in and completely changed our office. I was there for fifteen hours. Tuesday 11 hours. Total this week I think was 63 hours of being at the office. I feel extremely blessed to have my job. BUT SERIOUSLY... I have felt like the worst mom. Because my job is paperwork and if it's not correct then the guys don't get paid so it;s really stressful. So sometimes I feel like I can;t be watching her every second then I look at the clock and she has been sitting there for an hour. Entertaining herself then I'll look down at her and she'll want me to hold her. so I do. But then I have to work again and she gets sad. it breaks my heart. So I have been going at five in the morning to get it done. So I can be a good mom and it's worked ok until another HEAD guy came in and yet again switched the office one of the OA's got fired so now there are just two of us again. Which means longer hours but it's ok I just have to remind my self it's just for the summer!!! It will pay off!!!

UPDATE

2009-05-11T10:12:00.000-07:00

OK SO I"M SITTING IN MY APARTMENT RIGHT NOW AND I HAVEN"T HAD THE INTERNET BUT I JUST TURNED MY COMPUTER AND IT"S WORKING SO AS LONG AS IT WORKS YOU ARE GETTING UPDATED.

I guess we will start with Easter... So Oak and I were headed back from wal mart and saw a sign for bunnies for Easter. Boy was I tempted to get one for Ry for Easter Just to be funny well. The not so funny thing is what would have happened to the cute little bunny after Easter... Ry would have had a little Target practice so instead we just went and held the Bunnies.

The morning of the BIG Easter Egg HUNT... Word to the Wise and Foolish
DON"T BE LATE OR YOU"LL MISS THE WHOLE EASTER EGG HUNT!!!
We weren't laughing at the time but we got over it...

Pictures of my two favorites...

My Sweet Girl She is so CUTE

Ry got his braces off right before we came out to TEXAS doesn't he look so good?
Um I love it... He has such a great smile.

This is just outside of our apartment in TEXAS...

So I have a new job in the Office for AMP Alarm. And I needed something to entertain Oakleigh because she was getting tired of trying to get my attention for hours on end. I have now started to go at 5 to 6 in the morning so I can spend time with Oak but anywho so I was looked for and Exer Saucer but they are expensive well my Mom suggested for us to go look at Kid to Kid (THANK YOU MOM) and I went in and there was the PERFECT toy I even sat her in it while I looked at the clothes and she loved it. It was brand new one family had used it like twice and there baby was jsut to small for it and so they had brought it in that day. Luck y huh the Lord knew I needed a little help so I bought it for 42.00 bucks!!! Can you Believe IT!!!! SWEET!!! She can sit in it and walk all the way around it most of the time though she is RUNNING all the way around it. It is so cute to watch her and it makes me laugh...

I can't wait for you to see the next post but for now this is it. We are loving it here In TEXAS. Our ward is Fabulous. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. Great people with our company. Ry is working so hard. HE GOT THREE SALES ON SATURDAY
He is the best and is putting everything in to this job he can for our family. We are so proud of him.
Oak gets bigger everyday. She is crawling everywhere. Eating all kinds of things she is more excited about grown up food than her own food so I let her try most of it. and she loves it. She had bananas last night and loved that. She could eat all the pretzels in the world. She has two new teeth on top and they are so cute. She laughs all the time and wants to be with her mommy all day and then wants to snuggle daddy when he gets home. She get so excited when he comes home... She puts her little hand in fists and gets this intense face and then she smiles REAL big it is so FUNNY.. Ok so I have to go Blog hopping now so have a great day!!!

SWINE FLU

2009-05-01T06:50:00.001-07:00

The Swine Flu thing has really been concerning me lately. Especially because five hours from us in Texas a little kid died. Last night Oak woke up at one in the morning she never does that any more. She was super warm and cheeks were all flushed. i geve her a bottle and layed her on my chest and was trying to get her to burp and then she started gagging. Then she would lay back down and then gag again it was really scary so I flipped on the lights and she jumps and is squinting her eyes. Still all smiles like always. I check and everything seems fine. I took her onesie off and put back on her jams and put her back to bed. I checked on her a few times for the next half hour and then fell back asleep. Until .... four am when she woke up again I fed her a little more bottle and then layed back down. I said a prayer hoping that nothing was wrong...
She's ok this morning so no pigs for us just a worried mom. I got to work this morning at six just to get a jump start on the day. and this email was in my inbox. It made me laugh so hard. Thanks rance for making my day...

Little spiritual note: If this swine flu really is going to be a big deal the prophet and prophets past have been telling us to be prepared for a while. ARE WE?
I wonder this all the time. Ry always wonders why I grab extra stuff at the store. I'm just trying to be PREPARED!!! Have a great day everyone and PREPARE.... and we shall not fear.

AND WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T KISS PIGS!!!

Wright Update

2009-04-01T22:05:00.000-07:00

Since I am worthless at blogging even though I have my beautiful new computer I have reasons for not so here they are...

First of all I have been working at the same job since Dec of O5 which I love and we are having an Easter Egg Hunt for our Patients this next week and I'm pretty much running the thing... I'm so excited to see how it all turns out I hope lots of people show...

I'm working on a quilt for Me and Ry's room this is not it at all I wish I would have taken a before picture of our room so sad. I'll describe to you in detail. My night stand is black I found it at the DI for 7 dollars and re did it and put new knobs on it. it
's so cute well Ry didn't have one so I got him one for I think the same seven dollars except his is brown and has gold handles on it beautiful Right? .... FALSE... Continuing the bed spread is Brown but it's starting to get old really old. oUr curtains are a beautiful blanket that my sister made us and a teal and a blue towel.. Gross right and then to top it all off in our rental we had blue carpet Fashion emergency. pLease someone come and save the Wright home so when I have it complete I will for sure show it all off. We will have it all done in our new house in Dallas...

So Guess where we are moving this month? Any Guesses?
YOu got it ! We are moving to Texas it's going to be crazy but I'm super excited for our New Adventure it is only for the summer for now but we'll see. Ry and I both have new jobs it will be interesting to see how the whole thing plays out...

Oak is good... She is starting to get up on her knees and rock it's so cute... She has a stuffy nose though and she won't sleep very good. I finally went to the Dr. the other Day if you don't have a pediatrician look in to Dr. Marsden he is Fantastic any way so I went and they told me it is behavioral she just wants to be with mommy well I'm exhausted so for the past few nights I have left her in her bed and let her fuss for a while ok for hours and I go in every few minutes pat her back and leave Finally last night she slept I woke up this morning and actually felt rested for the first time in a long while... Oh the joys of motherhood but I would never trade it for the world well. IT's getting late Bloggers it's time for Sleep I'm sorry I don't blog very well I'll keep working on it GOOD NIGHT!!!

THIS MOVIE!!!!

2009-03-02T09:07:00.000-08:00

Well this movie has got to be one of the best movies I have seen in a while. For those who have not seen it yet GO SEE IT!!!
It blows my mind that stuff like this really happens. I know because I transport Juveniles to school or take them home and what not. One we had to set up a "Date" (this little girl was prostituting) So sad and we were taking her home. It was a mess Bless her heart I pray for her that she is ok. But anyways back to the movie it's intense, Great lines, I will NEVER let my kids especially girls go anywhere with out me. Until they have husbands of their own forget it... Ry reminds me a lot of this guy. It awesome let me know you takes on the movie. The ending wasn't a smash for me but the rest I thought was brilliant!!!

Our sweet girl... we love her SO MUCH! She is such a good baby, and has been so much fun. She can roll over, and all over the place for that matter. She says "ma", and eats her rice like a big girl. She loves giving kisses, pulling hair, and definitely knows who her Mommy & Daddy are! She loves to read stories and tell them too, likes to grab her feet/toes, scoots all around, and even growls (like Darth Vador)...no kidding.

Congrats to Ry's sister Krystal & Derek; her and Derek found out yesterday that they are having a BOY...we are so excited for the 2 babies that will be joining the Wright clan this summer (Shane & Emilee's too)!!! Congrats you two! And Happy Birthday to Derek...big 27!

We have been just living it up lately; Ry keeps busy with his job and I work a few days a week at the Ortho office. We are blessed in so many ways! Ry is such a great Daddy to our little bug, she sure loves him:) (Here's our girl at the dollar store with Mom- she's excited about Easter!)

Sorry for delaying the update- love to you all!!!

DAD in Real Life

2009-01-16T07:40:00.000-08:00

This is one of the best movies of all time I love it. Since I have had Oakleigh I think I have watched it at least 25 times... It is a movie I could never tire of. It makes me laugh cry and most of all it makes me think of my Daddyo. I'm not sure why whether it be that I think my dad looks like Steve Carell a little or if it's his personality or the way he is whith his daughters I'm not sure. But watching this movie makes me feel like I'm at home with my dad. I think I am most like Kara in this movie the second oldest daughter I have a lot of passion for life in General and that also makes me laugh in this movie because she is so Ridiculous, ANYWHO I love you dad. i'm not sure if you ever look at these things but I love you . Thanks for raising us right and for being "tough" on us when you needed to. Especially when I got "Passionate" about something whether it be carrying my duck around the nation (OH MY GOSH) or dragging me telling I'm tough and could finish our 3 mile Run... Thanks Dad I love you so much the Whole Sky Many

MeEt OuR SwEet OakLeigH BuG

Meet Oakleigh... Our sweet girl is the cutest thing ever today she turned 7 weeks. She is full of cute noises lots of cooing, laughter, and she tries so hard to talk to us. It just melts our hearts. It is amazing and we love it!!! Motherhood is the greatest experience ever- I would not trade where I am at in my life for anything. I have the best, most supportive husband who by the way is so cute to watch with Oakleigh it is so sweet how protective he is of her, for example when we went to her two week appt. they had to prick her foot and she was crying so hard and Ry looked like he was going to knock the nurse out he was pissed that someone was hurting his little girl, i have the sweetest daughter who is healthy and so strongand a total light in our lives. I have a great job that I love, but am so torn that I have to leave my Oak for a few hours three times a week arrgh!!! hopefully not for to much long. Life is good I'm in a great place right now. Mick took these pictures she always does such a great job... But Oakleigh just makes these pictures just so darn cute... Here's the Wright Family... SO Far :)

Ryan and I were sitting at home the last night of the Olympics. Sunday night our baby was 6 days old and I was already pretty emotional (but since I have watched it a lot and still cry every time) and then this came on... Talk about Inspirational.... First of all the WORLD Comes together for this Huge event where they all have one goal in mind THE GOLD... Then we watch for two weeks as each event unfolds. Their determination, sweat, tears go in to achieving what they came to do. Some get to stand on the podium and hear their nations anthem and some get to experience the feeling of defeat. What an amazing experience the Olympics would be. We loved watching it and can't wait for Four Years from now for the London Games... Hope you enjoy this as much as we did. We were truly Inspired...

She's Here...

2008-08-27T20:30:00.001-07:00

My heart is so full of gratitude and love (and breast milk) he he he... Our baby girl has finally arrived. So here is the story in detail.
It all started Sunday night. Our friends Andrew, Nat, Will and Kate came over to watch Willow and then play a little Solitare frenzy and we were sitting on the floor and thats when contractions started not bad at first I was surviving just uncomfortable. All through the night I was in pain... The next morning I started to keep track of contractions and they were going about every 4,5,7 and then 12 min. Then it would get harder and shorter. Ry and I both weren't sure what to do so by 2:30 in the afternoon we went to the hospital... They checked me and said I was still at a one and that it could stay that way for another week. Talk about Depression I was in so much pain and was about ready to explode so they sent us home. We went in and took a nap and then when I woke up the contractions were even more intense I was so pissed and tired because there was no way I could make it another week. My dear friend Tonya came over to the house and I just started crying I was so miserable I didn't know what to do. She left and then we were sitting on the couch. Ry called my mother in law and her and Kiss my sis. came over and had Cafe Rio in hand. She showed me how to breath during contractions which was a major blessing. Kiss started timing them. It was like every 2,3,1,3,3,2, minutes and they were lasting about a minute and a half. My mother in law said if you get in the tub and are still having contrations that this was the real deal. So I got in the tub and THANKFULLY they kept coming. So we made the call and they said come on down. So off we went to the hospital again. We arrived and they hooked me all up. Checked me again and I was Dialated to a 3 can you believe it I was thrilled she monitored me for a few more minutes and then, Kim our nurse came in and said I've seen enough lets get you admitted. It was for real now and I was ready. Ry and I both looked at each other and it was game on. RY by the way was amazing through the whole thing I have never needed him more then that night. Every time I would get weak minded he was right there to Coach me and encourage me to be strong. I love him so much and would never want to go through this whole experience with any one but him. He is so great, and he did everything I needed him to do. Thumbs pushing in my back and all and one point he thought he tore a tendon in his hand from pushing in my back so hard and for so long. Kind of made me giggle but only for a second until the next contraction:) This started at about 10:00 o clock may I remind you that I had been having contractions since Sunday. I was so done. I walked thehalls for hours, we called mick when they admitted me and she started down I wanted her to be there so bad she finally got there sometime early Tuesday morning and I was so thankful to see her. Steph was amazing and was there the whole time too. Holding my head telling me to keep going. Kiss was rubbing my feet and doing the same. Mom and dad wright were there and My mom and Jess. and sat in that bed and leaned against it and peed fifty times until I had had enough at 5:30 I had it, give me the epiderhal I had planned on going natural the whole time. But enough was enough after that many hours of hard labor I was done. And I was stuck at a 6 for the past two hours. I was so tired and hurting like mad. The epiderhal was placed and then it was a little calmer and I actually fell asleep for a little while. Except the cathader hurt like hell the whole time. I kept asking them about it and they told me to push the button for more drugs. I only pushed it once. Cause I didn't want to be numb forever... Well I was stuck then at a 7 for a good few hours the new nurse Patty came in and Rolled me on my side. And within 20 min. I was at a 10 and ready to go. WOW here she comes. So they got the room ready and I started pushing. It was just the nurses for the first 6-9 contractions of pushing and I could feel it all Ry had to keep reminding me to breath becease my face was purple. I've never pushed so hard then the Doctor came in and had me push. Like four more contractions and then our girl was here. The minute they placed her in my arms it all went away the pain, the stress, the madness. I was the happiest little mommy in the whole world. She is so beautiful and PERFECT in every way. I can't stop starring at her. I have never felt so blessed and close to My husband and my Heavenly Father. What a great experience I'm not sure how many times I want to go through it but it was worth it:) I tore to a 3. which feels great!!! Ha ha ha--- anyways so there is the story. Oakleigh is here. All 8 lbs 13 oz. of her and she was long too 21 1/2 inches. and she looks just like her daddy. Hopefully this post makes sense I have so many thoughts going through my mind. But there is the jist of the story Well I will post pictures soon but for now you can go to micks blog, shells and Kiss's to see pictures of her. Thank you guys for all being there and for experiencing that with us it was so special. And to my coach, and Husband I love you more than anything. and the our sweet girl Oakleigh Welcome to the World!!!!

I'm Ready... Can she come Now?

2008-06-23T11:52:00.000-07:00

I'm ready for her to come... For all who have been pregnant before they will know what I am going through ... I am now finally getting to that point(which really could be to soon) but I'm ready for her to be here. Nights are starting to get so tough... I'm sweating to death she feels like she is going to pop out of my belly button... I've just eaten thanksgiving and can't get comfortable ever... NO WONDER WE LOVE OUR KIDS SO MUCH!!! With everything you go through HOly Crap!!! Last night for instance... I finally laid down around 10:30, and thought great a good night sleep... Right... Then at 2:30 Ry comes to bed...He tries to snuggle me. Which to him is putting his leg over mine... :) which I immediatley call out you can't do that I'm roasting to death. Then the whining begins. I run into the bathroom where I proceed to drench my hair with water, blow my nose which doesn't help at all it's stuffed and it's staying that way... We have the fan on in our room, Ry is so cute, he's asking all these questions , while running around closing all the vents so all the air is just blowing in our room... Do you need a drink of water? no (whining continues) do you need more pillows? no ( now I'm back in the room kneeling on the floor head on the bed still whining) Drama... Drama... Drama... Did you take unisom? (which supposedly helps you sleep and is ok to use during pregnancy) No!!! I don't know what I need!!! I just want her out!!! he gives me a hug and we climb in to bed.... He is such a trooper (i'm still whining at this point)... Finally I fall asleep... Kind of until you get up five times to pee through out the night...What a joy this is to be Pregnant... Thank you Ryan for always putting up with me and loving me through it all. And how sad that this is just preparing us for when she does get here and wants to eat every two hours... To Bad Ry's nipples don't work the same as mine!!! Ha ha

In our ward for Valentines Day we had a Party that Saturday night and we played the newly wed game... It was so much fun. RY and I did so good. We smoked everyone there... It was awesome!!! The only one we got wrong was the question? What is the first movie you ever saw together I took that as a couple and he answered correctly with the first time ever watching a movie... He was with another girl and I was with another guy and to make matters even more embarrassing for us at the WARD activity both of our guesses were Rated R... ( I really wasn't embarrassed. But it was funny.... I couldn't believe how well Ry knew all the questions it was a really fun night... That night when we got home we talked a lot about how much we really do know each other... We should we spend every minute we can together... I am so thankful for the husband that I have and how observant he really is Even when he asks like he isn't listening he really is Sneaky Guy he he he ... I love you RY!!!

WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST

2008-02-10T18:40:00.000-08:00

Well they say the first year of your marriage is the hardest... Let's hope so we have had so much happen in the first year a little recap for you...

1- We moved to happy Freakin valley after we got married in Orem....

It was a treat!!! Not really I had to drive and hour at least to get to work every day not so fun and then Ry's job was really crazy with the sod laying... We finally became sane and moved home to St. George...

2- We lived with my in Laws for 8 months... They are so wonderful to have put up with us for that long... But it was hard... Because we are newly weds so it was quite the adjustment...

3- Ry got a great job and Rosenberg Associates and I work at simister Orthodontics..

4- We found out we were pregnant in Dec. right before Christmas...

5- We moved in to our GREAT apartment and it is so wonderful...

well there are a few things that have happened this year. IT will be great to see what happens for this new year of Marriage. I love Ry more and more everyday... He is the BEST!!!

For our one year anniversary we are going on a VACATION!!!!

PRINCESS CRUISE TO MEXICO HERE WE COME!!!!

Well here's the news!!! We'r Pregnant!!! Crazy huh? Three months a long and I have been sick for most of it but I know it will totally be worth it in the end... I can't wait. We went to our first appt. and they couldn't hear the heart beat because my Uterus is tipped back wards so we get to hear that in four more weeks... Then we know what we are having 3 wks after that. So there you go. I'm finally starting to figure out this blog stuff.
