My Book Reading Mojo is back!

I LOVE reading books. It is so funa nd a great mood enhancer for me. Unfortunetly it has been a loong time since I have fallen in love with a book. I have tried reading various books and never fnished them because they just didn't click for me. For almost a year I have been hearing how wonderful teh Stephanie Meyer books are. I never read them because #1.when would I have time, nukber 2. I haven't found a book that peeks my interest since the rumors of wars books, 3. everyone was reading them and I didn't want to copy everyone. Finally my friend Becca got me very intersted in them. I bought Twilight last monday and finished it on Wed. I had withdrawls and had to get New Moon on friday and finished it last night. The books are awesome. I highly reccomend them and seriously couldn't put them down.

Happy Birthday Emmalee

Emmalee Monique Price 3/10/2004

I cannot believe that you are 4! I swear it was just yesterday that you were born. From day one you proved to be strong and feisty. You never give up on anything that you try and even if you have to try a million times until you get it right.I truly admire that about you. Your smile and laugh and quick wit can brighten any room up. You have a wonderful talent of making friends and you love everyone. You are so creative and can find something fun to do with just about everything. Whether it be making a fort out of a cardboard box or playing princess with the shampoo bottles in the tub. Your imagination is boundless. I feel so blessed, happy and lucky to have your for my daughter. I love the strong mother daughter bond that we share and I enjoy seeing it grow stronger everyday. I love you more each and everyday!

Love,

Mama

Mike is related to Mitt Romney!

I got this email from my mom this morning (my om is a huge geneology buff):

Patti, Mike is related to MItt Romney and Marion G. Romney. Mitt's real name is Willard Mitt Romney. Tonight I got out the copy of your mother in law's genealogy for the Day family. Mary Ann "Minnie" Romney is Mike's 2nd great grandmother. She married Willard Farr. Mary Ann's father was Miles Park Romney. Miles is Mike's 3rd great grandfather, and Mitt Romney's Great grandfather. Mike and MItt are 2ND COUSINS 2 TIMES REMOVED. It means two generations removed. Isn't that cool.




Pretty cool huh!? They are pretty closely relatd isn't it crazy?

Fishing at Canyon Lake! Mommy and Sissy date and Mike's Snow Campout

Okay get ready for LOTS of pictures..sorry...actually why am I apologizing, it's my blog, lol.

Mommy and Sissy Date:
On Friday I suprised Emmalee by taking her to go see Enchanted. If you have not seen it you HAVE it. It is such a cute movie and will entertain Mama and daughter. Afterwards I took ehr and bought her a little necklace at the store right by the dollar theater at SS mall (haha not really $1 anymore). Then she had to play by the fountain. Luckily she didn't fall in, lol. She fell in last summer, lol. Then we went and got ice cream. It was very fun.

I feel like I am so busy lately that Emmalee and I don't get the quality time we need. Peyton has either been sick and teething or I was sick for 3 weeks too, plus carpools, t-ball, errands, activity days and all I do for Mike's scout activities (a wife really should be set apart for that calling too) and household stuff overwhelm my life at the moment. I love that little girl so much and feel very blessed to have her. I am trying to make a goal of having a bit of quality time everyday, even if it is just reading a couple of books. So I was so excited for that day and it was great!






Fishing at Canyon Lake:

Saturday the whoel family took off to canyon lake for some fishing. We didn't catch much, Mike and Emmalee both caugh scrawny blue gills that we released back to the lake. Still we had so much fun! It was a nice relaxing day where I didn't have to worry about the chores, etc. We left at sundown and went to a new restaraunt by our house called Chilernos...really yum, though the kids menu was pricey. Now the kids want to go fishing all the time. We plan on going again next month and hopefully we will be grilling fish fr dinner instead of eating out!

Mike took his Deacon Scout troop up by the dump in strawberry for a snow campout. It ended up being a not so good time, due to one of the scout's bad attitudes, but I had to show the fort they made!













Here is Peyton in his playpen. I got him out a lot but he seemed pretty content in his playpen.



Mike's fish:



Emmalee's fish: she was so proud! Also a bit evil she kept going up to it saying sweetly "Hello fish how are you?/ We are gonna eat you!"



























Here are a few of Peyton too. Sorry about the nudity but this was too cute. He crawled away while I was grabbing a diaper and played with the vacuum. It wasn't so cute when he peed on the floor, lol.





here he is sleeping!





Oh and I started weight watcher's meetings again almost 2 weeks ago and I have lost 6lbs so far! I chose to get 12 weeks prepaid fr my anniversary present. I know I can do it with the meetings since I lost so much before. I also started walking again. I had a month long hiatas while I was sick and Peyton was sick. He had an ear infection and terrible teething..6 teeth at once..Yikes! So needless ot say it was like having a newborn..only worse. My babies only wake up at 2 am and 6 am from birth so 3-6 times a night sucked. He is feeling better now thank goodness.
