...





i'm sad this jumper is too little for her. i liked it a lot. We went to P.F. Changs last night, Story screamed pretty loud in the restaurant. Then Jerome got a hair cut and we went to bed. Story is getting a mouth full of molars, she's not my tiny baby anymore, its kind of sad. She's a little girl now.

Jerome has made me a VERY firm believer of the vacuum bag. We went from 8 tubs of blankets and baby clothes down to 4. I officially have more closet space now. I. Am. In. LOVE!!!
We fit all those blankets (above) into 1 tub after using the vacuum bag. I sound like an infomercial, but this has changed my life!! Plus the bags are only 10 bucks!

NeW DiGs



^This is my current desk in all its messy ikea glory.
If you remember a while back I said that my company announced they were moving to Sandy. Well, that time has finally come. It was SUPPOSED to happen April 1st, but that didn't happen. Our last day in our old building is June 4th. Last Friday they took us up via bus and let us look at the new building. I'm pretty excited about moving, the new building is really nice. Plus i sorta like change and new, so what's better than getting a new 2nd home?


These are our new desks. They are a little bright, but i think that i really like them. Our chairs are pretty freakin sweet. We're on the 2nd, 5th and 6th floors or our new building (yeah, we have a big gap between, but its IT on the second floor and no one likes them). We have pretty fancy elevators, that will take getting used to. Elevators make me queasy.


This is one of the lunchrooms, there is one on every floor.


This is the new front desk. They have fancy cork flooring on the 6th floor (I will be on the 5th).


This is the view from my area. I'm pretty excited about this part, its even more impressive in person. I kind of like looking at other buildings, in fact i prefer it to looking at mountains and stuff, i just think buildings are more interesting i guess. I'm excited about the move, the commute kinda blows. Right now it takes me 15 minutes to get to work, its going to take a bit longer once we move, but i am ok with that. Especially since i will be stopping half way to pick up story various places anyway. Just a couple weeks more in our old building. pretty cool!

wEeKeNd UpDaTe


Friday after work Story and I got home and there was something on our porch. It was a brand new little Great Dane or a Boxer puppy. (i can't ever tell the difference). Anyway, we got out of the car and I said, "Story look a puppy!" She looked over, grabbed on me and started bawling!! She would not let go of me and wouldn't calm down. Everywhere i walked the puppy was right on my heels and tried to come inside with me. We finally get in the door sans puppy and I sat on my bed holding Story, rocking her for 10 minutes trying to get her to calm down. After i got her to stop crying we went to the window to watch the puppy. She stood in the window sill for a long time making sure the puppy wasn't coming inside.


After about 15 minute the puppy ran away and never came back.
Like i said, tiny brand new puppy:


Saturday was the big day for Jerome's brother Kris. Him and Mel got married! Story had a blast running around outside all day with music playing, stopping to dance every few feet. Before the ceremony she went up to the front and danced for everyone.




Ryan and Joey came for pictures in their black get ups. :) They looked pretty sharp and smiled for the pictures.


Story and Taimi had matching tutus for the day.


All the girls had black dresses with some sort of purple at the bottom and feathers in our hair. I had purple tule to match Story's tutu. Story wore Jerome out pretty bad. He chased her around all day in his tux. He is always amazing to take care of Story when we are out. I get overwhelmed really easily when we are in new situations or when family is around. I'm kind of silly like that. We had a good Saturday, it was really fun to be there for Kris and Mel's big day. Story chased Rayder and Carter around and made some new friends. She had a blast. By the end of the day she was laying on the concrete, because she was so tired.

Mother's Day


Mother's Day was a good day for me. It kind of started Saturday night. Saturday us girls went out to dinner at P.F. Changs to celebrate Mother's day and had a blast! When I got home Jerome took me to Walmart and he let me pick out some new towels and sheets! He thinks that is a boring present, but i'm pretty excited about having giant towels and bright teal sheets in our bed!


Sunday morning Jerome cleaned the whole house, let me take a nice quiet bath and made us some crepes! He's a total pro and i love crepes. Story liked them too:


Later we went to the park and had lunch with Amy, Kory, and Axel! We had lots of fun. Story was a little bit of a stinker from not taking a good nap, but it was still fun. By the time we got back to the car the present we bought for Jerome's mom had melted all over. oops! we'll have to do a redo. Then we had an awesome dinner at Jerome's dad's house (which is my favorite part of the week). Then we left little pee wee at gramma's house while we went and saw Iron Man 2 which was radical. Great mother's day!!!


Just had to throw this picture in here, Story had buns in her hair earlier this day, but we took them out before bed. Made her hair look like an old lady. Don't forget to check out Story's awesome dancing moves below in case you missed them. She really knows how to shake it!

SeRiOuS DaNcEr


This little girl is a very serious dancer. She has really improved her skills lately. She dances slow and hunches down when the music is slow and she speeds up and marches when the music is fast. She is a pro at finding rhythm. I will for sure have to put her in dance classes. I'm excited to see her get her groove on at the wedding a week from Saturday!!

pantry


**please ignore my ugly mommy voice**
Story likes to hide in the pantry, its where she goes after a hard day of playing for some privacy.
