The Need for Change

I've been thinking about changing the design of this blog for some time now. But I didn't want to have to deal with putting all of my links back on after they disappeared. But guess what...THEY DIDN'T DISAPPEAR!!!! WoOt WoOt! So I hope you like it and enjoy.

Thankful Thursday

Today I am most thankful for the Library!!!! I HEART the Library!!! I've got a list about 10 books deep waiting to show up that I have on hold. I've talked before about how I consider myself to be a bookworm...although not as much as other people that I know. But sometimes it can be hard to be bookworm-ish when you are a mom. But that is another reason I HEART the Library...I take Zachary quite often and he loves loves loves it! He is seriously attached to some of his books that we have at home. In fact the other day we sat in his room for over an hour reading/looking at books. Granted he is only 16 months (HOLY COW!) but I do let him pick out what he wants at the library. Sometimes we only come home with a couple of books but there are other times where we bring home about ten. His current favorite is anything to do with Clifford the Big Red Dog. The Library has saved me some serious amounts of cash-o-la. And has entertained my son for hours at a time. Have I mentioned that I HEART the Library?!

Zachary's Lucky Day

We went to the RSL soccer game on Friday night where they beat the Colorado Rapids 2-0. It really was a great game. Joe's seats are right behind the players and during half time there is always somthing being thrown to the fans: t-shirts, little soccer balls, candy, etc...you get the idea. I kept trying to get a little soccer ball for Zachary but they were being thrown right over my head. Well, the players were coming back onto the field after half time and some had slightly bigger soccer balls then were being thrown out earlier. One of the players, Javier Morales, threw one of those balls to me! Zachary was so happy

that he had is very own ball. We had to hide it under our blanket for fear that he would throw it onto the field. We gave it back to him in the car and he fell asleep hanging onto it. And then Saturday played with the ball all day. Needless to say, Joe is quite excited that Zachary loves his soccer ball so much. He dreams of Zachary becoming this world famous soccer player. I guess we will have to work on that one.

Joe was on Good Things Utah...again....yesterday. I've been a slacker and not posting his television appearances lately. But I'm on top of this one! Click here to check it out.

Now I just need him to make this for us at home. =)

Our Fun Day

It has been a very busy weekend. So it was nice today to just do whatever and go explore. We ended up going up American Fork Canyon and driving around...scoping out future camping spots. We ended up having more fun than originally intended. Imagine that! We found a couple of small lakes that Zachary thoroughly enjoyed throwing rocks into, found several camping spots, saw a few deer, and spent most of the afternoon off-roading
in the truck. So much so that my neck hurts and so does Joe's back. I wonder how Zachary feels. He spent most of the time laughing in the backseat. The rest of the time he took a little nap. Although, I don't see how he could have slept through all of that bouncing around.
The only bad thing is that we had spent the morning washing and cleaning out the truck only to now have it almost as dirty as before! All in all we had a great day....too bad it couldn't have ended with a professional massage!

Thankful Thursday

1. I'm thankful for clean bed sheets. I know this one is unusual. As far back as I can remember Thursday was always sheet day at Poppy and Grandma's house. My sister and I spent many a summer there and Thursday we always washed and changed the sheets on all the beds in the house. Guess they passed the "tradition" onto me.

2. I'm thankful for Zachary's hugs and kisses. And the smile he has on his face with every single one. They mean the world to me!

3. I'm thankful for blogging. I've been watching the chatter on Cristin's blog regarding Proposition 8 in California. Blogs are a wonderful place to spout off your feelings and opinions no matter what the subject is. Unfortunately, she is having to deal with those that do not agree with her opinion, of which they have every right to. But too bad some of them have to be so vicious about it.
