Instead of trying to escape life for a whole extra day, I thought we would just leave super early Wednesday morning. In my head, Kate and Bj would sleep the whole time and we would arrive at Sea World refreshed and ready to spend the day there. No matter that I am also 7 and a half months pregnant. SO smart. Except not at all. Kate was bright eyed almost the entire ride there and we were all 3 exhausted before we even stepped out of the car in California. Lesson learned. We arrived at Sea World shortly after it opened and just made the best of being super tired. Kate was a little too short for most of the rides but loved the Sesame Street area. Bj and I took turns crawling around with her and were both dripping in sweat after. I couldn't ride the mini rides with her because of the pregnancy, but Bj rode 2 with her. The first she really enjoyed. The second she was screaming before they even took off. I tried to tell him she would get used to it and love it....but I was oh so wrong. She screamed the entire time and I'm pretty sure both BJ and Kate are still scarred from it. Whoopsies. Next we hit up the animal shows, all of which were the highlight of the day for both Kate and BJ. The Dolphin show was definitely our favorite. Kate ooohh and awwwwed the whole time and it was so fun to watch her. Around 2pm we had seen pretty much everything we could and decided to
go on one last ride together. While waiting, Kate tripped and got a
bloody lip. The pain mixed with the fatigue of the day made her
inconsolable, so we called it a day and headed out to our hotel. She was
asleep before we even left the parking lot. We checked into our
somewhat scary hotel (( hotel pictures online NEVER look the same as they do in real life. )) for the night and just relaxed. Since being a
newborn, Kate has never slept with us so I was really nervous on how
that would go. No need though, we were all out by 8pm and didn't wake up
until 9am. Success. I will definitely plan things a little different next time,
but am still so glad we went up a day early to do Sea World with our
little family.<br />

Bj's parents and younger brothers, Thelma, Liz and Tristan ended up coming over and aside from sweating the entire time, it was pretty fun. Brad brought a homemade rocket launcher over and it kept everyone entertained. Kate missed her nap because we swam all day at my moms, so she was pretty grumpy and fell asleep long before any fireworks started. I keep telling Bj that next year we WILL have a pool. From experience, I know my current state of pregnant misery is easily forgotten. Once a sweet baby is here to love on, all of these aches, pains, throwing up and emotional ups and downs ....they go out the window. But this heat. I'm fairly certain this heat is the exception. Arizona heat + pregnancy = a misery that will NOT be forgotten. In the spring I'll remember this time and will demand we start construction on our pool. So, next July 4th we will begin out annual Young 4th of July party. And you're all invited. See ya then. <br />

Okay, maybe that's not exactly what happened but it might as well be. That little girl has no fear and just walks wherever she wants, even if it's right off the couch. After the fall she cried pretty hard for a good hour, which is very unusual for her. We decided to give it until the morning and if it was still bothering her, we would take her in. The next morning she was using her arm, reaching for things, crawling up and down the stairs..you name it. With the exception of extending her arm completely, she was back to normal. We chalked it up to a bruised elbow and let it go. Plus, she had a well check appointment scheduled in 8 days so I figured if it was still bugging her, I would just ask then. The well-check came, x-rays were taken, x-rays came back.... with the results that her arm was fractured in 2 spots! And it had just been hanging out, all broken and crap, for 8 days! So sad! The next day we had a cast put on, and she is now the oblivious wearer of the tiniest purple cast to ever exist. I've really only seen her notice, examine and touch it a few times during meals, haha. It hasn't slowed her down one bit. And now every time she falls, I think about the fact that another broken bone would probably earn me a call from CPS. Which incidentally I had a dream about and it was no less than terrifying.<br />

weight: 21lbs 30th %<br />
head 17inches 25th %<br />
<br />
The biggest change I've noticed as of late is Kate's ability to understand us. She understands when I say that we are taking a bath, going to bed, getting a snack, going to the other room...pretty much everything I attempt to communicate with her. It's really nice to have that communication there and I cannot wait until she can talk enough to give us a glimpse of whats going on in that little head of hers. Kate is becoming progressively more attached to her blankie and me. And I sort of love the me part. I really am the apple of her eye, and it's pretty much awesome. I love doing everything with her and that we are such buddies. <br />
<br />
at 15 months...<br />
<br />
Hates having her diaper changed....unless I'm asking what various animals say, then shes cool with it. Seems to have dads taste buds- prefers salty over sweet but loves juice or otter pops. ((barf)). I can confidently say pizza is her favorite food. Starting to cuddle more!! Loves to lay her head on my shoulder when i carry her and loves to snuggle up and have her back scratched ((another similarity to dad)). When she is trying to show compassion toward someone/ something, she makes this around that is a mix between aww and oooh..... And goodness its cute!!! Constantly fiddling with my heart neckless and also loves trying to rip my eyelashes out... Rude. About 10 teeth now. Size 3 shoe. Current favorite book- peek a who. Sleeps great- usually from 7pm-ish to 9am-ish...aweeessoommmmeeeee. Takes one 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon. Is an insane woman at church. I typically chase her around the whole 3 hours and by the time church is over we both need a nap. Only 3 months until nursery- holla.<br />

Lately, we've been loving morning walks around here. A few months ago <a href="http://www.ellekeepsmoving.com/" target="_blank">Ellen</a> mentioned their morning walks and I thought it was such a good idea. A good idea + 115 degree Arizona heat = morning is pretty much the only time to I will willingly go outdoors. So morning walks it is! As soon as she wakes up, we grab our shoes and head outside. This little gal loves the outdoors, plus it gives us a chance to wake up, get some wiggles out and then come in ready to start our day. <br />
<br />
And lets be honest....the boots. No words needed really. <br />

We even found daddy at the end of our walk.

<br />
Kate,<br />
<br />
You're 1 year old, baby girl! This past year has hands down been the best year of my life. I am so glad that you are our first born and that I get to call you mine forever. Your sweet, easy going personality has done wonders for us as newbie parents...and trust me, we (( I )) needed the help. Those first 2 months, wowza! And the time I took you to the doctor twice in 1 day? Oops, new mama here. Fast forward through that learning curve though, and man oh man has life gotten sweet. Each day has literally gotten better and better. Watching you grow, learn and explore is the best. Being a mom...thank you for making me a mother. It is the best, most rewarding, terrifying, funnest, most hilarious job ever. I love spending my days with you. There is nothing else in the whole world I'd rather spend these years doing.<br />
<br />
At 1 year you....<br />
<br />
Had maybe 1 tooth (1/2 of a tooth really, on the bottom), walking like a crazy lady, being outside is your favorite, you love for me to turn pandora on my phone and dance with you while you shake your little booty, love to clap your hands, laugh at mack....you take 2 naps a day, sleep from about 8-7, and you have itty bitty baby size 2 feet! <br />
<br />
Really, I just want to remember how happy you are. You are the happiest, most easy going baby. And tough! You are always falling and tumbling different every which way but you just get right back up like nothing happened. You obviously get that from me ;-). You're still not a huge cuddle bug, but I'm not losing hope yet. You are miss independent and are totally okay playing on your own. At the kids club in the gym, the girls always tell me that you just quietly play on your own. Funny girl. Sesame Street is still the best show ever. You eat really well and eat pretty much everything we eat. Yogurt, fruit and goldfish are a few of your favorites. You love to read with me. About 20 times a day, regardless of what I'm doing, you come to me with 'blankie' in one hand and a book in the other. You hand me the book, sit right down and look up at me waiting for me to read it to you. I love it. I frequently find you looking through books on your own....often the books are upside down but you turn them around over and over again looking closely at how the pictures change. It always makes me smile. Although you say a few words (mama, dada, uh oh, hi), you have not shown a ton of interest in other English words yet. However, you talk nonstop. Really. You jibber jabber all day and it's the funniest thing because, to you, it is a real conversation. You pause throughout, make eye contact, hand movements, have voice inflection, there is always accompanied laughter...you wait for us to reply and then keep going. You love when I sing pop corn popping, itsy bitsy spider, ABC's, and 3 little monkeys. <br />
<br />
I never want a day to come that you don't want to be my best bud anymore.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I think you are my twinner child but you are a pretty good mix of me and your dad. And we just cant get enough of you!<br />
<br />
Happy birthday, sweet girl! <br />
<br />

<br />
there are many things the husband and i are not, but a constant in both of our personalities is that we are easy going. contention, anger and other emotions of the sort are not typical in our home. and i love that. we are more of the ignore-each-other-for-a-while type fighters rather than the scream-all- up-in-yo-face type. so, i can confidently say that the environment in our home is one of peace and ease. <br />
<br />
the peaceful feeling in our home is one of those things that makes me feel good, like we are doing something right. i love seeing that Kate is secure, happy and confident to explore her curiosities. obviously, i credit some of this to what i believe is a happy, safe environment. i feel the security of our home and she feels it, too.<br />
<br />
but.<br />
<br />
....enter Mack, our dog. who i really do not love. at all. and whom i cuss at. maybe a lot. Kate probably thinks his name is actually that damn dog or, depending on the day and number of indoor potty accidents, possibly shit head. when i let him out to go potty, if he does not come back after the first call, i have started shutting the door secretly hoping he runs away. and when he pees on our fresh, NEW carpet that was laid not even 6 months ago, i most definitely yell. and am full of anger. lots of it! and that whole peaceful environment...yes well. about that. it kinda goes out the window. <br />
<br />
and really, i need to get a handle on this. because unless he runs away (fingers crossed... kidding, kidding!), we are keeping him, FOREVER. i refuse to add Mack to my long list of dogs i keep heartlessly giving away, despite my husbands requests. i say heartless because i literally feel no remorse. zip. zero. none. that added to the fact that Kate LOVES him. like, really loves him. throughout the day she chases him around and terrorizes him, just laughing and laughing and laughing. the scene is straight of of a freakin' movie. and i do like the idea of a dog. a lazy dog that follows us around all day just being all mopey and cute and sleepy. not an over energetic dog that pees everywhere! what the hell. who would want that? fact: NO ONE. yesterday i was literally sitting right next to him and he sat up, squatted and peed RIGHT THEN AND THERE. no warning, no whining, no trying to hide it from me! right on the carpet. twice. come on, man!<br />
<br />
so basically what I'm trying to say here is that I'm sorry. if in the future my child plays with yours and she pushes them away forcefully, tells them to go play in traffic, or calls your child a shit head... my deepest condolences go out to you and yours, for i am truly sorry. but please rest assured that i do not talk to my child or husband in that fashion. i am simply potty training a dog who seems hell bent on proving he is worth only what we paid for him; nothing. <br />
<br />
so again, my apologies. <br />
<br />
((also, are you worried there is a special punishment in the afterlife for animal haters like myself? ..ME TOO))<br />
<br />
the damn dog:<br />

Except sometimes. shes easily entertained and laughs at about everything. still loooves sesame street. will eat pretty much anything we eat. looooves juice. we don't drink much juice in this house because i don't really love it and bj loves it a little too much ((as in, he will literally drink a half gallon of juice in one sitting. not exaggerating)). so although it's a rarity, when she gets chance to have juice, she takes after her daddy and gulps it down as fast as her little mouth will let her. oh and dont get me started on straws. yes, straws! seeing her little lips pucker over a straw is just freaking adorable. oh and shes a walker now! sort of. she takes 6 or 7 steps a few times a day, but prefers to crawl for the most part. she can give kisses and high fives. She will make her mouth into a perfect, tight little O and trys to say uh oh, but it only comes out as ooooooooooooooooh. <br />
<br />
this little girl is something else. i love that she seems happy and secure in our little home, like she knows mommy and daddy are takin care of business. when i pick her up she gives me a look that says, "so mom, what's next on our schedule?" shes my little buddy and she knows it, it's my favorite. <br />

Don't you hate that? When you just feel bothered and blah but you can't pin point why. I do. So at this moment I feel like it's pretty much the worst. This funk could be because there are workers outside of the house right now and I fear they might wake up Kate. And if they do I'll have no choice except to kill them. Obviously. And then I'll go to jail...and that would suck. Or the funk could be because husband and I had a mini budget talk this morning and really, I just hate those. I always stress and think well wheres the extra money for this or that or these or...oooohhh that's the point of a budget you say? Hm. Like I said, lame. Or maybe I have no idea what the funk this funk is about and that's most frustrating of all. Yes, I think that's it. <br />
<br />
I have every reason in the world to be happy and usually I feel that way. Really. As nauseating as that sounds, most of the time I literally think "holy crap, my life is freaking awesome". And nooooo, it's not because I won the lottery or started a cool business or found my long lost talents even. But because while everything isn't perfect, what I have goin' on is pretty freakin' great. I have a beautiful little girl who is healthy and happy, a hardworking husband who loves our guts and a house full of projects over our heads. I belong to a church that gives me comfort and guidance on a daily basis. I know that families are eternal and have the chance to be with my little one forever. And that is something to be happy about, dang it! So I'm going to go be happy. And get out of this here funk. And take a shower. Yes definitely a shower. Because maybe in the end, it's just this 3rd day grease on top of this head that's weighing me down :-). <br />
<br />
things to be happy about as of late<br />
<br />

THE END! </div>Katherine Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13720545415277256524noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348847696227814308.post-1199938540797863722012-03-21T21:11:00.001-07:002012-03-21T21:19:23.571-07:00SomedaySomeday I'll post about more than Kate. Today is not that day. Bc shes 10 months today and I've got a sweet baby book in the making, so I've gotsta do what I've gotsta do. Sorry :-). Life is going good out here though. We are all moved into the new house and alllllmost all unpacked. I love the new house. I love that its older and has quirks but that we were able to make it feel like ours with some of the updates we chose. We still have a lot (!!!) of work to do, especially outside, but it's a fun process. Im enjoying the work and endless projects a lot more than I realized I would. Having a little space out here is really nice, too. Kate and I go outside and pet the horses and ride around on the quad daily. It gives us something to do and she loves it. That girl cant get enough of animals in general. I fear I'm on the losing side of this "no inside dog" battle. Blast. what else.... My mom moved into our basement a few weeks ago, I made some curtains, got hair extensions, we saw wicked and I almost gave up sweets for a whole week...Sort of. Tristan is here for his spring break this week, that kid is hilarious and I love having him here. He's been a great helper and is so polite and funny funny. Anyway.. Life is good, busy and we are just trying to keep up! And Kate is 10 months, so here we go- <br />
<br />
At 10 months- Kate is almost walking! Waves byebye, has starting getting into cabinets (ie everything, gotta baby proof - stat!), loves animals and being outside, has started a pterodactyl-esque screeching whenever she feels like it and it's weird/annoying?!, hates having her diaper changed, loves the dirt, and is even more obsessed with manny (the stuffed manatee) now. <br />
<br />
This month was so fun! I feel like this is the first month that her own preferences have really come out and I love it. Sure she's had minor preferences before this but they've most likely been due to the fact that i expose her to certain things more frequently than others, yes? Yes. But now she has favorite books! Yes! The very hungry caterpillar, guess how much I love you and brown bear, just to name a few. Blueberries are her fav and she will eat them before anything else on her plate and then pterodactyl screech for some more. she laughs so hard when we tickle the palm of her hand and when we stop she reaches her little hand out again, waiting for us to do it. Oooooh, oooh such a fun stage this little girl is in. And dont get me started on sesame street. She couldn't care less about the tv but if if I put that on, the girl is hooked! Anyway, the end! I'll try to blog more soon! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaD1-mtFNdKvuav05kS05eReGvzgFvnVWaqtzzN1mg-tZS74CaewRrt1ajQNPz_-KNicGvxrxRatkgIq8WfzC0g27yLBhbttRNNZI3MEVbrdXOarO5DeFesS3Y1PKbloLsI4iR4jayofNt/s640/blogger-image--125931329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Actually I love you. It's funny to think that Kate spent 9 months in my belly and now she has spent 9 months out here with us. It goes without saying that the party outside is waaaaay better than the party inside. Although pretty much any party not involving pregnancy gets a thumbs up in my book. In the past 9 months the learning curve, sleepless nights, uncharted new parenthood territory ...all of these new, hard things seem to fade to a fuzzy backdrop for all of the good that parenthood has brought into our lives. Becoming a mother and experiencing this journey with Bj is really everything I ever hoped it could be, and it's pretty freaking fantastic. Kate makes our world go round, our hearts melt, stop and hurt all at the same time. I'm not sure how things could get any better than they are right now, but word on the street is that they do. Bring it. <br />
<br />
At 9 months: <br />
Weight: 18 lbs -- 30th percentile <br />
Head: 17" -- 40th percentile <br />
Height: 29" -- 85th percentile <br />
<br />
Kate loooooves her binky. She is such a binky baby but I kind of love how everything is right in her world once she has that silly thing. She love love loves "manny", a stuffed manatee given to us from a friend. She drags him everywhere and gets so excited when we bring him to her. She loves to share food with us and will eat pretty much anything. Except yogurt with chunks. If it has even the tiniest piece of fruit she will open her mouth and let it all out. She's recently discovered she can take food out or spit food out of her mouth. So that's nice. Except not at all. She loves the horses, Dakota, and to be tickled and chased all day long. She loves to be read to, baths and time with daddy. She loves her mama but daddy definitely has a special spot in her heart. She takes 2 naps day and for the most part sleeps pretty good at night.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibqljEf9sLEyN-i04zPszMMf3__lYyLbC17x0JJPyl74t-Iqw1_Yqc0UNOLor6nt9eZ-PITrNB6cobyS2MkThS66J8W0vLc_pKPk_qhc8UN7t3f8bntTEW8djkByLopq7LURgfHKM7dahX/s640/blogger-image-147574619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

At 8 months Kate is almost crawling! She has been so close for the past month. Each week I proclaim that she will for sure be crawling by that weeks end.... Nothin yet but I think this is the lucky week ;-). She loves to bounce, be outside, take baths, her binky, real food, obsessed with gerber sweet potato puffs, thinks its hilarious to be hung upside down and have different sounds repeated at her. <br />
<br />
She is getting so big and shows us more of her little personality everyday. Being her mom and having the opportunity to spend my days with her are just about the best things ever. We love you binkybear! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwS7A8OPb7Y9tzH0J9iX-cKjZMMyidfYd2qPlBoopXjoxysIDLNAXQ7XsXxT2oVQBYoWR3v2kB302ebJ2lnbnndfNwb9nLF7fPatSXupNd2SQmRIVe7bAOFDPKhFCkv084rF_RgR0Kiwdo/s640/blogger-image--581833698.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

At 7 months she....<br />
<br />
Has no more docband! Yay! Is a great sleeper. Doesn't mind tummy time and will roll from one side of the room to the other to get to something/someone. Likes to play a game where she rolls over once, stops and looks in our direction with a huge grin, we cheer and she does it again and again, Pretty funny. Babbles, shrieks and smiles all day long. Lately all it takes is us giving her a big grin and she giggles back at us. Super cute. nicknames- kateamus, binkybear, baby bear, Katebug, bug. Wears 6-9 month clothes. loves being outside and food in general. Except mashed green beans and spinach. Which I suppose makes sense due to my previous theory that all food preferences were learned behaviors. Blast me and my pre-parenting assumptions!

<br />
1. I complains to Bj about our lack of fun, spontaneous, thoughtful dates, compare our current activities and dates to ones during our dating days and whine about how consumed with work he is. <br />
2. We resolve to take turns planning fun dates each weekend <br />
3. Bj plans and executes perfect date<br />
4. I crap out and do nothing <br />
5. Repeat<br />
<br />
Lovely. This particular date BJ booked a little nighttime steamboat ride that took us around some lake about hour away. Dinner, twinkling lights, a little history from the tour guide and dessert. It was perfectly unique and wonderful, you're a dreamboat beej! <br />
<br />

I stand by my theory that the money saved on black Friday isn't worth the lost sleep, long lines and crowds unless you are getting a big ticket item. Nonetheless it was fun and I will do it again. Next year my torture if choice will be the Chandler mall.

It tricks people into thinking I'm a good cook. Soooooooo.......it's pretty awesome. Awesome like all of my other talents. Those annoyingly obvious talents. Of mine. All of them. Every single one. A little overwhelming to think about them all at once. Too many, right? Am I making you feel bad about yourself? Here. You can borrow some of mine:<br />
<br />
1. follows a recipe like a champ<br />
2. retains random celebrity facts for freakishly long periods of time<br />
<br />
You're welcome. <br />
<br />
Moving on. Talent #1 aided me in making a thanksgiving dinner that was quite the crowd pleaser. The left overs were plenty, the company was great and Kate took three 2 hour naps. So much to be thankful for this year. We are healthy and happy and so thankful for it. Life is good. Really, really good. <br />

I spent a lot of time with the cos sisters, jono, Mandy and z. Loved them, loved the shower-- it was seriously perfection, ashleys got skills! After looking at these pictures you are probably in disbelief that ashley handmade all of those amazing decorations and put everything together in such a perfect way. AND you're most likely overjoyed she is a permanent fixture in your life thus you can forever mooch party planning tips from her. Hey! I was thinking the same thing! There was a small (slightly unnecessary?) hospital trip that involved a new mom and super cute baby. Hhhmmmmm anyway, Heather was the cutest and most hilarious preggers ever. Oh those Coslett girls, I just love them. Even that little blondie Celeste. Turns out she's all grown up and just as wonderful as the first two. <br />

At 6 months Kate sits up like a big girl, says dada... I'm pretty sure there is no word association there but ssshhhh don't tell Bj :-). Obsessed with her dad and flirts with him anytime he is home. Interest in food has gone way up and she needs a thousand bottles a day if I don't feed her real food a few times a day. I'm trying to make the majority of her baby food and so far she hasn't rejected anything but seems to prefer "salty" over "sweet". Super ticklish, especially her collar bone, jaw bone and thighs. Size 2 diapers, 6 month clothes and newborn shoes. Sleeps from about 7-7 and takes 2-3 naps a day. Super smiley. Loves being outside and thinks dogs and feeling dads scruff are hiiiiiiilarious. Loves bath time and books. Pulls herself up on our hands and likes to walk while holding onto us. Shows absolutely no interest in crawling. Loves her toys, exersaucer, water, and eating her toes. Hates cold bottles and being too tired. She's easy going and forgiving to us as newbie parents. Has us wrapped around those baby fingers and we couldn't be happier about it. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYlsFHD9KN7SEXE6rHrdnWyHSLTV-sETMDeg-wiS_oR3thkU8wc0UCZvjPAK-l0Pe5SAqcFYua15bySnhRyVbU_R0AlYuBAdeK0sr_r-X-Kkx1N-SXmejYTqVtAAkZgoGvMVuTnbHTWWrU/s640/blogger-image-107715449.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Couldn't contain his happiness and had to go get her out of bed. <br />

At 5 months Kate.......<br />
<br />
Sleeps from 8pm-7am, for the most part. Naps are here there and everywhere.... Har har. Has sampled- banana, avocado, butternut squash, peach and rice cereal. Getting much better with solids but doesn't need them regularly. Knows her name. loves being outside. starting to cuddle more. loves toys and books. Reaches out her cute shaky arms to be picked up. Size 2 diapers. Wears 6 month clothes. We are completely obsessed with this little babe. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMddU-7eBKkxSnrM5DYrQlTtPkM_kEB-PV_kbGlmHm_nZyOgL9n9-Ey4Zi3VinxK9uUHr7HrcUwowRTnZyFhWqgSz10rpGXhc5Mx9-WN7wmR1vNGTORL7MBbnhts3GoaPVH6N06wZ01G6/s640/blogger-image--1359822210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

If you get the chance, GO! Some of the speakers I could have passed on but the majority did not disappoint and I left feeling uplifted, motivated and happy. <br />
<br />
Ash was here for 4 WHOLE days!!!! Aside from TOFW, the weekend was full of junk food, lots of yip yapping, getting to know Kate (ash), finding a great pair of boots (me), and enjoying that familiar comfortableness that comes from spending time with a lifelong BFF.<br />
<br />
Can't wait till next year. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd8El5vs3mfJinXa-aC-qLSUUbI5UckQ2H5-GXwOxQUGJuW2ng1FZ22f4RnqiRNqB87KL1gUiFeOMiCuIz1Hviw2hxrJV_057OM-G9JUotfMqC_IEMQFePhtzPiUUpL5sZApUKu6_5kpxg/s640/blogger-image-1743546861.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

so aside from that life is great. 4 weeks of class left, FOREVER! oooohhhhh i am so excited. ashley comes into town for Time Out For Women today. which is basically EFY for adults and it's amazing. next weekend i go to utah for heathers baby shower and then my momma is coming out here a week or so after that. the holidays are just around the corner and we are moving into the other house next month sometime. exciting things happening in the Young household these days. somewhere in the mix my house is always dirty, showers have become negotiable, i'm balding and my baby wont sleep ....but life is good. i still need to blog about san fran, bj's mission, and kate's 5 months....but the screaming is a liiiiitle distracting. so for now i'm off to drown out the noise with some reality television while i clean my house. may the force be with me.Katherine Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13720545415277256524noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348847696227814308.post-51254575248823634382011-10-30T09:32:00.001-07:002011-10-30T09:42:36.156-07:00Boo!We embraced the helmet and dressed Kate as a wrestler for the ward trunk or treat. I thought it would be fun for us to dress up too but Bj wasn't into that idea. Although he did suggest we stick with the wrestling theme and dress him as a ref and me as the girl who wears very little clothing and holds up the signs. What a thoughtful and entirely appropriate idea for a church activity. <br />
<br />
Since I'm pretty much done with this holiday anyway, I am considering turning off our porch light on Halloween so I can smuggle all of our candy into Time Out For Women this weekend. We shall see. <br />
<br />
Happy Halloween! <br />
