It just dosn't get any better!!!!

Forgive my small blogging absence. Now I'll explain why....
Last week Sean & I decided to make a little trip to Cali. Disneyland a day... the beach a day... or whatever we wanted!!!!! Woooohooo! Both of us needed a break in the biggest way!! So after work on Friday... off we went! We stayed at the Doubletree hotel in Santa Ana (important part of the story) & woke up on Saturday & spent the day at Disneyland & California Adventure! The pictures we took are fun... but you can't see them.... why? keep listening. When we got out of the car in the parking garage Sean stepped on some money & picked it up... a wad of 20's! Woohoo! Sean however, is a person led by his conscience. The car next to us was a bunch of teenage boys & an adult man. What to do? If we asked them if they dropped money they will say yes whether they did or not! So Sean asked them if they dropped anything. One of the boys checked his pocket & got a panicked look on his face. Money! He was able to tell us exactly how much & in what change so we gave it to him. The man thanked us profusely for doing the honest thing..."what goes around comes around! " he told us matter of factly.
Fast forward to that night.... to my consistant disappointment, we skipped the fireworks & headed back to the hotel cause we were sooo tired! We got back & fell onto the bed. I glanced over to see what time it was & the clock was gone! I told Sean the maid stole the clock! He told me I was crazy. We ordered room service & fell asleep. In the night my phone turned itself off cause the battery died & I thought- when I wake up to go to the bathroom (which now happens 2 times a night) I'll put my phone on the charger. So when I went to look for the charger, guess what was missing? My phone charger, Seans, the battery charger to the digital camera, the cord linking the camera to the laptop, the laptop backpack with cds, dvds, books & our conference issue of the Ensign.... and of course! the laptop. At first I tried to wake Sean up to tell him the chargers were missing & he told me I just forgot to pack them. Then when I realized the laptop was missing & told him, he woke right up!
LONG freaking story short... doubletree dosn't want to take any responsibility for it or re-emburse us. so NEVER stay at a Hilton hotel!!!!!!! This week has been hell. I think.. not sure... that I had some personal info on the laptop so I've spent this week changing passwords, changing bank accounts, & being very frustrated. I wish there was a way to make the last sentence as frustrating as it really is. & you seriously don't realize how much you use a computer & the internet until you don't have them!!!
Enough of the bitterness. I did get to see Hilary while we were in Cali. They fed us dinner & we chatted for awhile. Sean & I did lay on the beach for a little while & it was so cold there was no way I was getting in. Sean of course built a sandcastle & explored the beach. He is such a little boy on the beach! We also watched a small law & order marathon on TNT & layed lazily in bed for hours. The only glitch was that darned theft. Once again I repeat... DONT ever stay at a Doubletree hotel! or at least the one in Santa Ana.
We did have a freaking awesome time at Disneyland/Cali Adventure. We had never been on soaring over California & we both LOVED it! It did kinda suck not being able to go on a few rides for fear of damaging little Johnson. but we still had a great time. I love the Peter Pan ride & Sean hates it cause the line is always really long & I make him wait in it.. so you can guess which ride we did't go on. I did make Sean ride the teacups cause he never had. We seriously ate after ever ride... ride a ride... eat a treat... the Disneyland way!
this morning there was a cockroach in the bathroom & I made Sean "take care of it" his way to take care of it was to put the plunger over it til he felt like letting it free outside (ridiculous!) I thought... I should totally take a picture of that... & then remember that even though I have a camera... the battery is almost dead & there is no way to get the picture out of the camera without taking it to the store. POOOO!
I love cameras & being able to put picutres on the computer whenever I want!!!!!! so.. I am putting a small picture show for you on the blog, pics I took on the little built in-cam a few months ago.
Hope your week is theft free :)

inspiration...

I was blog surfing after church today & came across two different quotes by president Hinckley that really touched me. I wanted to share them....

President Gordon B. Hinckley said:“I have enjoyed these words of Jenkins Lloyd Jones, which I clipped from the newspaper some years ago. Said he:…“Anyone who imagines that bliss…is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. “[The fact is]… most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. Most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration. Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise…“Life is like an old-time rail journey- delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed.“The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride”

"You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out. It will not be the money you have made. It will not be the cars you have owned. It will not be the large house in which you live. The searing question that will cross your mind again and again will be, How well have my children done?"~President Gordon B. Hinckley

Be-a-utiful :)

This was what I got on mothers day... a nice rose bush in a pretty pot!!!!!
Every day this week I've watched my little rose bush turn into beautiful blooms. I never thought every morning as I walked to my car to go to work, I would leave with a big smile on my face simply because of this! I've loved every morning this week!!! & today... here they are!
My gosh those are gorgeous!!!! I never thought that stopping to smell the roses would make that big a difference... but it does!!!!

Isn't nature amazing :)

A bag of dirt...

I thought it would be to my advantage to tell Sean that the doctor said that from now on I shouldn't be lifting more than 20 lbs. "Sean... I don't think I should be lifting that!!" what a great excuse to not lift things!!! Well... we may not be in our little house much longer & Sean is tying to get our curb appeal as good as it is in the winter. We've had trouble every summer trying to keep a yard. So we are putting sod in & Sean is planting a few more plants. He has been workign hard at it. "I can't waste daylight! " he keeps telling me as he works away. Well he ran out of some kind of dirt-mulch stuff & asked me to go to Home Depot for it but insisted I ask someone to carry it for me cause it is so big. I told him I'm not gonna act like some helpless little woman! He got mad & told me he would go instead. I told him I wouldn't carry it (thinking I would anyway), so off I went. Well, I found it & made it to the cashier, but it was a little heavier than I anticipated. I asked if there was a spare cart around & of course there wasn't. So I started to drag the bag out of the garden center when this old man walked by & asked if he could help me. I told him I would love some help!! So he hoisted this mulch on his back & carried it to our truck for me. I thanked him profusely & then got in the truck. Here is the part where I cry because the man was so nice. What is the matter with me?!!! I'm so out of control with the crying.. its ridiculous!!!!!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there. Here is me & my freaking awesome mom on Mothers Day. Sean & I had my mom & dad over for dinner to celebrate & then later on everyone met at JoDee's for dessert. Yummy!!!

Sean also surprised me with a nice present... a rose bush in a beautiful pot. He told me that he wanted me to always have roses, not just today... how sweet! There are about 7 buds getting ready to bloom...
and here are all my moms children (minus 2 out of towners) all together & happy to love our mom :)
CRAZINESS :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

This is a tribute to my fabuloso sister Kelli!!!!!!! whose birthday is today!!! Happy Birthday beautiful :)

Exhausted

This is literally how I feel every day... like I'm gonna fall asleep the second I walk in the door. I am the worst wife in the world! I don't clean anymore, except when the house is so dirty it makes me feel even worse, & then I'll clean. and this is what Sean lives on now...

Actually, that very one. He loves the country fried chicken & gravy. He is a nice husband & frequently tells me (while I'm crying) that I"m not a bad wife. Man I'm ridiculous!

I am also the worst young womens president in the world. I finally told my counselors a few weeks ago that I was pregnant so they wouldn't just think I was the worlds biggest flake, which I'm looking like anyways. None of my yw know yet. I'm ditching out on a volleyball activity because I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open.

If I keep typing, there is a strong possibility that I might start to cry. Sean is keeping a list of stupid things I cry at which includes an onstar commercial.

I hear that I'm about to enter the "honeymoon" phase of my pregnancy... & I CANT wait! Just as long as I can get some energy back!!!!!!

Sleepover!!!!

Sean went camping with his dad, brothers, uncle & cousins this weekend, so I invited ALL of my nieces over for a sleepover!!!! Pizza, ice cream, go fish, girlie movies.... it dosn't get better than this!
I honestly didn't even think about how many of them I had invited over until Michelled dropped them off & asked me if I was sure I could handle this. Six girls?... thats nothing! I did however have to make sure I was prepared before they got there, cause I couldn't fit 6 girls in my accord. Luckily there was only a few times that someone felt left out & only one incidence with my exercise ball almost ending up in the sink... otherwise.... I'm a pro :)... really though, it was alot of fun. I hadn't seen the movie Aquamarine yet, so I was excited. Hopefully I'll have a girl so we can do girlie things together :)
