Help!

How do I get my references to my blog (on other people's blogs) to show??

GUACAMOYEE!!

Wesley and I went to lunch with my sister today. (Yet another reason I love my new job as a WAHM mom!! I love freedom!) We ate at a yummy Mexican fast food place. "El Pollo Loco." I really just liked the name and wanted to stop. :) Wesley wouldn't eat the chicken or chips but tore up the guacamole. Just watching him eat it was enough comic relief for a week. (And this video shows just what a genius Wesley is. How many 17-month-olds do you know who can say "guacamole?"

(The video's not the greatest quality, but it's pretty amazing for a phone, if you ask me!)


Yes, we had to change his clothes after the guacamole encounter. :)

Pretty, huh?

This is what I looked like Wednesday. Well, it's what my feet looked like. There's no way I was taking a picture of what I really looked like. :)

After a lifetime of living with a small, leaky bladder (which was not helped by my dislike of using public bathrooms and being a teacher who can't use the bathroom just whenever), I finally had surgery to correct the problem. Yay! To most, surgery isn't exactly something to get excited about. But I'm happy to be able to jog, jump on the trampoline, do jumping jacks, laugh, sneeze, cough, play kickball, etc. without having to find a bathroom immediately.

So we got to the hospital at 8:00 am and expected to be home by 2:00 that afternoon. Well, I didn't even go back to the operating room until 1:30. And since I couldn't use the bathroom on my own after surgery was over (and that's kinda a requirement), I had to stay the night. I was hooked up to weird blood-pressure-like things that go around the legs all night, as well as a catheter and an iv. It certainly wasn't the most comfortable night of sleep I've ever gotten, but the drugs were good. :) And the food wasn't so bad either. Although after over 24 hours of not eating or drinking, anything would've tasted good!!

I feel good today. Sore--kinda like I've been kicked in the gut by a big horse--but other than that I feel well. The only part that stinks is that I can't lift anything for at least 3 weeks. Aaron's home this week and my mom's coming next week. Hopefully I'll heal well and be able to resume life after that.

In case you were in doubt...

we really do have the cutest kid ever. :) This picture is proof.

(A teacher at Aaron & Maddie's school took this picture at the school picnic this past Saturday. His face is covered with Cheetohs (although it's not as obvious as it would be on Maddie's skin--a definite advantage of being a beautiful brown color) and he's very sleepy but I think this is my absolute favorite picture of Wesley. He looks like an angel.)

Another dumb test I took...

GO Cougars!! I might not be a sports fan, but I'm a VERY loyal BYU fan!! So I was very excited to see BYU kick UCLA's tail on Saturday 59-0!!

The BYU website has a cool slideshow of the game for all you fans (and you should ALL be fans--just kidding...kinda!). Click here to see it.

The Funniest Thing I've Ever Seen..

(well it's at least the funniest thing I've seen in a long time) It's Tina Fey and Amy Poehler from SNL, if you don't recognize two of the funniest women ever!!)

THIS WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN, BUT THEY KEEP PULLING THE FULL-LENGTH CLIPS OFF OF YOUTUBE. SORRY!!
