Horse Pulls

We went to the Horse Pulls for Black & White Days in Richmond last night. They had a huge turnout with 28 teams from all over the states. Pretty cool but Koy was cooler. :)

Mr. Seven

We can't believe that Koy is 7 months already.

Here is a list of our 7 favorite things about you:

*The smiles ALL the time. Even if your choking, you still smile through it.

*How crazy you go in your jumper. Sometimes it looks like you are going to jump out of it.

*How you smack your lips together like an old guy who forgot to put his teeth in.

*You roll over to the wall and bang your head against it... or the kitchen floor... or the coffee table.

*The way you grab at everything. (It's probably time to put some outlet covers on...)

*The way you shake your booty when we put you on your hands and knees.

*When we try to get you to sit up on your own and you sit for a second and then you fold in half. It's like your head is too heavy still.

Oh Koy, you just make us laugh. I don't know what we'd do without you.

Sushi

Mr. "Won't Eat Oyster Stew" came home a few weeks ago all excited about a new adventure he had. For lunch one day his friends finally got him to try some sushi. Wierd, but Justin just loved it. He had tried one that has crab, cream cheese, mango and avacado all rolled up in sticky rice. He isn't a fishy person, so this came as quite the shock that he loved this sea food dish.

Last night he wanted to share his new found love with me. It actually wasn't too bad and I figured it is one of those things that probably gets better with time. The texture of the sticky rice mixed with all of the flavors made me gag, but just a little. The second time, it wasn't so bad either and I thought, "I could get used to this." Well, then my plate comes and has some Sushi, Teryaki chicken, an array of Japanese food, and along with my sticky rice, a hair. It didn't bug me too bad because I wasn't going to eat the rice anyway. Then I got looking and they put like those golden and black sesamee seed things on everything just for a garnish I guess. I ate some chicken and in the middle of dinner, I figured what the black sesamee seeds reminded me of: mouse poop. I tried to keep eating because I was so hungry but each mouthful just made me think of mouse poop and my stomach started to churn to the point I almost lost it. I'm glad Justin took me to try sushi, but it might be a while before I go back.

What the Crockpot?

Question: Who gets married and doesn't recieve 5 crockpots for their wedding?
Answer: Us.
Yeah, I don't know how we beat the odds on that one but when we got married we didn't get one stinkin' crockpot... We did get a ton of super cool things which we were really grateful for but because we didn't recieve a crockpot, why would we want to buy one? Over the course of the last three years there have been many times when I have wanted one. It sounds so lame and old to me but really, they are quite the invention. So for Mother's Day, Justin and Koy gave me some money to spend on anything I want in the way of a crockpot. Yay! I can't tell you how excited I am to have one and secretly, I made a spot in one of the cabinets for one a few weeks ago because I almost broke down and bought one.
That isn't the only good thing Justin has done for me though. He sent me flowers on Thursday and when we got home late last night from branding in Randolph, he still ran back out and got Charlie's Ice Cream, made me breakfast this morning and even taught primary for me today. He was made the 2nd counselor in the EQP OFFICIALLY a few weeks ago, leaving me a solo teacher in primary for now with an average of nine 5-year-olds every week. (It doesn't sound bad but there are a few rowdy kids that cause stress.) I've been kinda sick the last few days and Justin didn't think I should spread whatever it is with the primary and I felt kind of bad calling a mom on Mother's Day to teach the class, but, Justin piped in and offered before I even started complaining. Whew! He really is the best husband and always makes me smile. I just love him!

Koy's First Word

Might be shit. So yesterday we were about to leave the house and I smelled the muddy aroma coming from his diaper, so I plopped him down on the couch and went to work. I was using the plastic changing shield underneath his butt, and inside the diaper was this man-sized solid turd. I went for the wipes, and as I lifted his legs to get a good wipe the weight of the turd slid the diaper down the plastic changing shield and off the couch, landing face down on the carpet. First you see it, then you think it, then you say it, and sometimes you do it. So I cuss in front of my child and while passing the sacrament. I'll try harder but I'm making no promises, especially taking into account my DNA. I've even corrupted Sherrie. Just a little.
