Happy Fathers Day!

We sure love the man in our lives and lucky to have him as my husband and MJ's daddy.

Little did I know that when I met this man 11 years ago that he 

would be the father to my little one. And a great one at that!

                This little girl loves her daddy and has him wrapped around her little finger.

                                         Can you tell she's an Ouzounian...

Food, Friends, Fun

One of the best things in Utah is of course Training Table. Umm hello cheese fries and their famous dipping sauce! I have fond memories of the place since it was my first job. If you haven't been there I'll make it simple for ya what to order. #26 sandwich (turkey bacon sandwich) cheese fries with their dipping sauce, a side of their home made ranch (uh-may-zing) and their home made lemonade. I may have gained 5 pounds today but so worth it.

Mary loved coloring on the paper while Jack decided to be a bit adventurous and take a bite of his green crayon. yum. MJ loves to dip her fries in ketchup and apparently thought it would just as good to to dip her entire hand as well. Emily, you sure you're ready for this? ;) 

After an awesome nap we enjoyed playing outside

Why ride in a stroller when you can push your new doll

She is totally in love, At Carters today she found her and would
not let her go, I'm talking screaming and running
away as I tried to take the doll away.
yeah, I totally gave in and bought it.

I'm so ghetto these days!

My younger self would be appalled at me these days. With being on a tight budget, a bit lazy, crazy schedule, a wife, a mom. I've become a bit ghetto, so ghetto that...

- Instead of buying a new bra because the wires are poking out of the two I have and put tape on them so it's no longer digging into my skin.

-I eat my daughters left over some times

-Many of my clothes have stains and holes in them. I still wear them.

-Most days my hair is worn up

-I'm not embarrassed most times to go in public with out make up on (that is till I run in to people I know)

- I'll wear nail polish till it chips off completely

- I forgot laundry was in the washer. For almost a week.

- Today's make up was moisturizer and red lip stick. hot.

- Mary left for the babysitters tonight and after Ryan dropped her off noticed her dinner was still on her face. I'm such an awesome mom.

I may need to step up my game here folks...

Summer Sunday

Sunday evening at GG's house eating some fresh watermelon

her smile kills me so stinking cute if I may say so 

 drinking the watermelon juice

 Got a 2nd bowl and she immediately takes it. Just too yummy to share

 Hanging out with GG

love having a toddler

Favorite things of having a toddler

*I have my own mini helper, she loves to un load the bottom part of the dishwasher, throw away garbage, hands me clothes that have been dropped from the dryer. She loves to help out any way she can.

* Random big bear hugs and especially my favorite the hugs where she keeps patting my back

*smooching those beautiful pink wee lips

*how she folds her arms at church, and when she hears the word prayer time

*whisper conversations

*attempts of saying ''love you''

* hearing her yell out "MA!" in the morning from her crib

*saying ''uh-oh'' every time she or some one around her drops some thing

*she thinks sneezes are the funniest thing ever

* how quickly she learns and I just beam ear to ear with smiles when she learns a new word, or sound, or understands what I'm saying to her.

Yes she is a typical toddler and has her tantrums hear and there but overall this having a kid thing just keeps getting better and better. She is so fun to be around, entertaining and just a sweet heart.
