Hi ya'll! How is everyone? Yay! Kris is the new idol winner. Thank goodness! Adam has talent, but I think he's a shrieker, so he wasn't my favorite. Jason pretends not to like it but he really secretly does. He said Adam can go on broadway and Kris can make records. I think that sounds about right. Speaking of music, I added a totally awesome song to my playlist. It's called "One Day Like This". It's a cover but I think it's better than the original. So check it out. I also added some vintage Snow Patrol.

Hmmm, what else is going on? Well, Aubrey had her last soccer game last week. This is her and Carter with her trophy. Oh joy. Carter and cameras go about as well as Blake and computers. We're lucky he let me take his picture at all, smiling's out of the question. Aubrey scored another goal the Saturday before , but if you ask her she would say more. She thinks that if you kick towards the goal, it's a goal. Oh well. It was fun. I'm kind of sad it's over. Carter is acting like a holy terror! I don't know what I'm going to do with him. I remember Aubrey being similar at that age. But I'm sure it's worse this time around, he is a boy after all. Blake went to the doctor for a check-up this week. He got 4 shots, he wasn't happy. Here's Blake with his lawnmower, he loves it. If he's getting worked up over something and I don't know what to do, I just give him that crazy lawnmower and all is right with the world. Just want to say happy b-day to Jerembo on Sunday. I'm going to be 29 this year so that must mean that he's turning 30! GASP! I found this picture and wanted to add it. She actually fell asleep that way!

Whew! This blogging business is tough! Every time I get a minute to post something I think "well, I really should start dinner " or "Blake's going to be waking up from his nap soon. " Blake and computers are a bad combination. So anyway, what have we been up to? Not much, but it's been crazy at the same time. And when Jason got his first day off since April, (other than Sundays) we had to go to the cardiologist in Salt Lake. Of course you gotta do a little shopping while your down there. And so our bathroom is still not finished. It's frustrating--we are so close.
Oh, speaking of the cardiologist. Blake got an echocardiogram on Cinco de Mayo and he was sedated. It's basically an ultrasound of his heart. It's kind of funny to see how babies act when they first wake up from sedation. Anyway, Blake's heart looks good, they're a little concerned about his rhythm. Usually it's irregular and this time his heartrate was a little slow. He had to go home with a holter monitor for 24 hours, that's always fun.

Another thing we have been doing a lot of is soccer games. Aubrey started playing last month but a lot of the games were cancelled because of rain or snow. So with make-up games, we have been having three games a week plus practice. It can be tiring. But she's getting a lot better, she's got some hustle in her...when she wants. She scored a goal last Wednesday! I try to take pictures but I usually spend the whole time keeping Blake out of the other games. Carter is up to usual antics. You never know what's going to come out of his mouth. His favorite thing to say to visitors is "What are you doing at my house?" Just this morning I was changing his diaper (yes, we still use diapers) and dressing him. He always hates it when I use the wipes on his bum. So this particular morning he blurted out "Why do you TREAT me like this?" He was exasperated, it was hilarious.
Hey! Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. Especially to my mom. She's a great lady.
