Bird, there was glass there

Shawn and I were walking down the stairs and just happened to look up at the glass just right and saw this imprint of a bird on our window. I had been home all day and didn't hear a thing. So I went outside to see if the bird was laying on the ground. No bird. Hopefully it just got knocked silly and is ok now. But you can see it was a good sized bird to hit it.

Austin's Birthday!

My baby is 2 years old! Wow, how time flies. Austin is just such a joy to our lives. I couldn't imagine him not with us.
Things about Austin
*His vocabulary is amazing, I don't remember Chloe talking this soon or as many words as Austin is now. There are only a few times when I have to ask him to say that again
*He loves his shows~ Handy Manny can fix anything that needs fixing, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse he just adores and he knows all the characters names, My Friends Tigger and Pooh he will run up and tell me who is on and what they are doing, Movies~ Kung Fu Panda, he will run up to me and yell Pu Panda Pu Panda and start kicking. Finding Nemo, anytime there is a fish anywhere he will yell NEMO!
*He loves to kick balls and play soccer
*Austin is still my velcro baby and loves to snuggle with mommy
*He loves to play/fight with his older sister, hopefully soon they will just love each other and survive childhood

New Computer

Our last computer died (mournful music) and our laptop is headed that way as well. So we decided that we would build two computers instead of one. So when the laptop dies we wouldn't have to go through all the research and trouble of buying another computer. It is crazy how much time you have to put into building a couputer. You have to research if this case will have enough room for everything, then will the motherboard support this and on and on and on. Anyways, we ordered all the parts and when it was dropped off at my house, the UPS/FedEx (don't remember which) just rang the doorbell and left. They had just left all the computer parts on our porch. Boxes clearly labeled Newegg. I was soo mad, because anyone could have come and took the boxes without us knowing it if I hadn't been home. Sigh. Anyways this is the finshed product. AND I BUILT IT!!! I was really surprised and shocked that it works, but it does :)

Happy Birthday Mandy!!!

Hey Mandy~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! You are my best friend. Mandy Webb is one of my best friends. We met about 8 years ago in Provo, when we were all going to school there. We were neighbors and it was such a wonderful experience to have a friend right next door. I remember just walking over there and watching tv with her or if she was having a hard time with Alex, Mandy would come over and say she was selling her daughter for a dollar. :) Miss you tons and I hope that this is a wonderful day for you.

Well I figured out that my son is taller than I assumed that he was and he will figure out any way to get candy/chocolate. Thanks Grandma for the valentines day candy, the kids loved it.
