Bag Tagged!



I was purse checked or bag tagged by my friend Brianna! I guess it is a good opportunity for me to clean out my purse. There sure is a lot of crap fitting into one medium sized bag! I like to have a good sized bag so I can fit treats in it for the movies.
Here are all the items listed:
1. Glasses and case
2. Yes a pad and tampons, that came back way too soon!
3. 2 different hand lotions
4. Gloves-i know it is warm in Vegas, I obviously needed to clean out my purse!
5. My hooter hider in case I have to feed my little baby I need to keep those suckers hidden!
6. All my notebooks and planner that I take to my internship everyday
7. zipper pouch with all my drugs in it
8. Food (granola bar, fruit roll up, sour watermelons left over from the movies, and a hug)
9. Flash drive
10. lots of pens
11. Dice (why you ask, because I live in Vegas!)
12. wallet
13. lots of chapstick (because my lips hurt real bad!)
14. Finally-a digital photo keychain with pictures of my cutie pie baby!
I think that might be some kind of record. If you had caught me in the morning, somehow, my lunch and 2 bottles of water would have fit in there as well!!
Now I get to tag someone else and find out what's in their purse!! I tag Jessica, Heather, and Cara!! Have fun and hopefully you have something interesting for me to see!! Thanks for playing!

Look what Casen can do!!


I had a lot of pictures that I wanted to share so I just decided to make a slide show! For some reason it is not in the order I created it but you get the idea. Some of the new things that Casen has been doing: First of all, he started eating rice cereal. These pictures are from his very first cereal experience. It was pretty funny to watch it live. He looked at us like we were crazy for putting that stuff in his mouth. He is getting used to it now and he loves it. He prefers it with mommy's milk and not formula though. He is not a fan of formula or drinking from his bottle. Luckily he only has to have a bottle once a day while I am doing my internship. His second new thing is to eat and play with his feet. He thinks they are probably the coolest toy around. He even trys to suck on his toes for comfort. He gets mad when his toe won't stay in his mouth like his thumb will. He lets out a little whine and then tries to put it back in his mouth. It cracks me up! Then today he started sticking his tongue out and eating his bottom lip. Babies are pretty funny with all the little things they pick up. The other pictures are from Valentine's day. Don't mind my shiny face in the picture. We had a fun Valentine's going out to dinner with my family at Guadalejara's and eating the most delicious churros ever!! Casen (and the rest of us) have been a little sick this week, so he has been a little needy. I don't mind snuggling him but it makes it harder to get things done. Life is still really busy but I am still sane so that is the good news! Marc has been great at helping me and taking me out on dates so I don't go crazy!

Happy Love Day and I got tagged!!!

I was tagged by my lovely sister so here I go...

All About My Hubby...
What is his name? Marc
How long have you been married? 5 1/2 years (June 1 will be 6 years!)
How long did you date? Technically for a little over 3 years but he was on his mission for 2 years of that!
How old is he? 27
Who eats more sweets? Depends on the kind. I eat all the chocolate but he is addicted to ice cream and sugary sweet candy.
Who said "I love you first?" Hmmm. I am not sure! We always try to decide who actually knew they loved the other one before we said it. Marc said he knew first but in my journal I wrote that I was in love on the first date. It was just meant to be!
Who is taller? Marc, by exactly 2 inches!
Who can sing better? Me although I think Marc has an excellent voice!
Who is smarter? It depends on the topic. We are both smart in different ways and areas. I have been lacking in some of the common sense areas since having a baby.
Who does the laundry? I do but Marc usually folds his own, and also I refuse to match socks =)Who pays the bills? Me
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. It is because I like to be by the bathroom and it has always just worked out that way.
Who mows the lawn? You would all have to laugh if you saw our version of a lawn. It is 5 by 6 feet. It hardly requires mowing so Marc just takes the weed wacker to it!
Who cooks dinner? This is also a funny question-it used to be my mom but I am finding more time now that I do freezer meals!
Who drives? When we are together, generally Marc drives. I think I am a little spacy!
Who is more stubborn? Oh it is absolutely me!
Who kissed who first? It was Marc! We had a fun date out at stateline all day and he was dropping me off at work!
Who asked who out first? It was sort of arranged for us. I told my friend that I thought he was so cute and so she went out to see what he was doing and if he would go out with me. I was so embarrassed about it. We set up a double date for the very next day!
Who proposed? Marc. He proposed to me when I worked at Cumorah and he had our friend slip a note through the drive thru. Then when I turned around he was behind me on one knee. He had even made a scrapbook page to ask my dad permission. What a sweetie!
Who has more siblings? That would be me. I am the baby of 7 and he is the oldest of only 4.
Who wears the pants? Marc would say it was me all the way. I try not to be too bossy and in charge but for some reason it is just in my nature!

I suppose I am supposed to tag someone else so I will tag Lisa, Jessica, Celeste, and anyone else who is interested in participating. I will still love you if you don't though!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day! I will be posting some cute pictures of my baby this weekend, hopefully!!

I Might Be Little But I Think Big!!

Here's a picture I took of Casen today! I think this is such a cute little T-shirt!! He wasn't interested in smiling but he is still certainly a cute little boy with those wide eyes!!


This has been a crazy couple of weeks. Life has been extremely busy! We had Casen's 4 month check up this week and he is doing great. He wasn't too happy with the shots though. He has really thinned out a lot because he is growing taller. He is 26 inches long and that puts him in the 75-90 percentile for height. We are hoping that he stays on that track and turns out to be tall. As I mentioned in my slide show, he is also rolling over. He can get from his back to his tummy but then he can't get back. At first he is really excited that he just did something cool and then he starts to get annoyed at being on his stomach so he yells really loud until I help him turn back. It is pretty hilarious. I feel bad because his little cries and yells are just too funny and so I laugh at him. He also loves his little thumb as you saw in the slide show. He just sits and sucks on it with this sweet innocent look. He usually starts out by whining and yelling and hitting himself in the face until he gets his thumb in the right spot and then as soon as he gets it in everything is all better. He is still so much fun to take care of. I love getting him out of bed every morning because he greets me with the biggest grin ever. I can just feel his love! This week I started my internship in school counseling and I am working at Green Valley High School. Casen gets to spend the day with my sister in law Jenn or with Marc if he is not working. The last 2 days he was with Jenn. Besides deciding he is not a fan of his bottle again, he did great. It is fun to be at my old school and for those of you who had her, I am working with Kelli Grimm. She is great to work with!


Finally, here is a picture of Casen with his Uncle Jason on Superbowl Sunday. Don't be fooled by the look on Jason's face, that is his version of a smile. I am pretty sure that he likes his first little nephew. I hope everyone is doing well! Have a happy day!!
