Mixed Feelings

So today is like on of those times you get so caught up in the moment, that when you realize what just happened you want to cry! Dan has been talking about selling his car for months now, this last week he finally had the time to get it all cleaned up and he put it up for sale. I was just like yeah, whatever, your a guy, do your thing. Well it went up for sale Friday and today (Monday) Dan is at the bank getting the title notarized. I am super sad! I love that car (even though I never drive it any more.) Dan got that car right out of high school, and I thought he was the hottest kid around in that car, we have so many memories in his civic. Road trips to Vegas, snow storms over the Logan canyon, driving it on the beach at Bear Lake. Driving it across county to Ohio when the entire exhaust system fell out in the middle of no where and Dan and I had to wear ear plugs so we wouldn't go deaf from the sound. I can't even tell you how many make out sessions happened in that car! So many adventures and good times! Well good bye " Civ Dog," may you make your next owners just as happy!




Dan with the title in his hand! Car I miss you already!!

Family Fun

United 93

So last night Dan and I stayed up WAY past our bed time to watch United 93 which we recorded off of TBS so it was edited. I am not the kind of person that likes to watch movies that "open" our eyes to the world around us. I want to watch a feel good movie. I know that sounds so naive. I obviously knew this was not going to be a feel good movie, but anything with 9/11 (I am sure like a lot of people) just strikes my interest. I really liked they way they filmed this movie, it is more like you are a part of the movie. You don't get attached to any characters and the plot(which we already know before hand) is not handed to you, you have to figure it out. This movie totally got to me. The emotion was so high the entire time, I even started sweating at one point. It was one of those shows that I want to talk about over and over again with anyone that will listen. It makes you have such strong feelings for the people that preformed such horrific acts of violence. I understand that they believe it to be a religious act and for God. But I can't understand why anyone thinks they have the right to take away ANY ones life. I honestly believe that on all the planes, if the passengers would have know their fate they would have done the exact same as United 93. Wow, it just makes me so proud to be an American! I did not even realize today was 9/11. So many people died on that day. So many hearts were torn. I think the world will never be the same after the events of that day. Can you remember were you were and how you felt? I remember getting ready for school that morning and mom called me into her bedroom where she was watching the news. "Holly, you have to see this a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center!" As I sat on the bed to watch the replay on TV, she yelled "Oh, MY GOSH, Holly! That wasn't a replay! I think that was another plane that went into the other tower!" I can remember that day SO clearly! I remember going to Institute and watching it on TV all day. Coming home with the entire family just glued to the tube, we couldn't get enough information, we wanted to know more! Such a gloomy and sorrowful day. They had a moment of silence for all the lives lost that day. I just want to make sure all the families that were hurt that day have not been forgotten. I know that I will remember this event for the rest of my life no matter how bad I want to forget. I might have just totally went off on a tangent, but it is something that burns in my memory forever.

More Hayden

Okay until Mom gets down a few sizes this blog will only have pictures of my two handsome men! Like anyone that comes to visit us, the first place we take them to is Handels. I already love ice cream but Handels is the best, they actually have quite a few excellent ice cream places in town.

Tummy time.

Hayden hates to be naked, you would think I was torturing him everytime we do a diaper change, so you can only image what bath time is like.
Before....

After. He loves being snuggled in a warm blanket, who wouldn't!?

Mom is getting better and better at the burrito wrap, but I don't have it down perfect yet! And mom is still ALWAYS hot so we get to bundle this guy up for naps.
