Baldies

For some reason Ben thought Cora needed a twin so he shaved his head--bald. Maybe it was my fault because I suggested that he needed a haircut but it was too late at night and I was tired so I let it go. The next morning I wake up to Ben giving himself a haircut. It looked nice when I saw it--a little short but nice (he had some hair on his head when I saw it). So seeing that he had it under control I went back to sleep. When Ben came home from work there it was--a very bald head. Maybe I should shave my head too so my whole family can share the lovely hairdo.

Holding Out

I have all these sweet pictures of Baby Cora and I've been holding out on you! So I thought I would share a few. Isn't she cute? I mean yeah I am her mom and I have to say that but seriously, I don't think babies get much cuter than this!

Baby Cougar

We have a little BYU Cougar on our hands (whether she likes it or not).

Boots!

I am SOOOO proud of myself. Ben has needed/wanted new boots for a while now. I was planning on getting him a nice pair for Christmas and I scored big time! I got him the same exact pair that he already owns (except his are nearly ripped to shreds and covered in grease). He loves those boots! And the best part is that he bought them for $150 and I scored these on major clearance because they only had a few sizes left! Good thing for me Ben has small feet! And how much did I pay for them? Yeah, thats right--$35. And did I mention I got free shipping? :)

BAD DAY!

Can I just say that I am happy today. Happy that it's not yesterday--cause that was one of the worst days in a VERY long time. Why is it that when you are already having a bad day about a million other bad things happen to you? Let's see, to start Ben and I bought a car and it ended up not being what we wanted so we had to spend 5 hours yesterday at a car dealership figuring out what we want. I should be happy about that right, cause I mean we got a new car and it is something that we really like! (Actually at first I was skeptical because it was a stick shift, but it turns out--I CAN DRIVE A STICK!). Anyways that was not fun, we had to redo all the financing stuff and I hate that. I hate owing people. It is the worst feeling ever. I don't know what I am going to do when we decide to buy a house. I think that if money didn't exist in the world, I would be a much happier woman! Anyways I had to miss my class yesterday since we had to get the car thing figured out. That's not too bad right? Well actually it is. I can only miss once class for "free" without getting a large amount of points deducted from my grade--not that my grade really matters. Guess my schedule is filled for the next 13 Wednesdays. So we finally get done at the dealership and I go to get in the car. Then guess what? MY PANTS CATCH ON SOMETHING AND TOTALLY SPLIT! (luckily on the outer leg seam). An optimist would look on the bright side, at least we were heading home right. Yesterday was not an optimistic day. Oh and then I get home and I had lost my retainer. Yeah the one we just paid $150 to replace. Don't worry, I found it--but not yesterday. Not too many things make me hysterical but with everything compounding on each other caused me to explode. So my question: how do you keep a positive attitude when you are having what you think is the worst day in history?

Happy 6 Months

Ok so I know I have been very good at neglecting my blog lately but I just couldn't miss this one! Today my little (BIG) Cora is 6 months old. Can you believe it? I am still trying to accept the facts. Six more months and she will be a whole year old. Wow, you've heard it a million times before but it truly goes by SO fast. I can't believe it. Cora has learned so much: she rolls over all the time, she is 15 pounds and has moved up to size 3 diapers which she will probably been in for the next year..., she loves the sound of her own voice, she sits up on her own very well, she is eating more big girl food and thinks that she has to do it all by herself (she is not very good at that!), she gives high fives, and she is now working on the whole crawling thing. Oh and I can't forget, the little baldy is working on getting more hair. I can wait until it is actually long enough for me to do something with it. Also, Cora is already a little flirt and is the object of much desire to some cute little boys at church. One of the little boys even said "She likes me, and I think I like that!". Oh wow. We are in for some big trouble, that is for sure.

One last little note: no teeth. No sign of teething. No problem. :) Yet...

Blonde Moment

So yesterday, I am driving back from my orthodontist appointment in Spanish Fork. As I am getting on the freeway a police officer speeds by me with his lights on. About a minute later I was in bumper to bumper traffic that was basically stopped. The nearest exit was closed and I was in the farthest lane away from the exit so I accepted my fate and sat there for a half an hour. Not to bad for a rollover wreck right? Well as I am sitting there a life flight helicopter lands right next to me, thats beside the facts but it was pretty cool so I thought I would throw that in there. Anyway I hear someone listening to hispanic music really loudly--I look to my left old, non-hispanic man in a pick up truck. Couldn't really figure out why he would be listening to the music, especially so loud, but oh well. Soon I approached the wreck, which happened to be on the other side of the freeway (yep, I was stopped for half an hour so nosy people could stop and see what was happening on the OTHER side of the road!) I finally get out of the traffic jam, off of the freeway, and almost home and guess what I hear? Loud mexican music. On MY radio. Ooops.
