some of my favorites and not-so-favorites

so i was thinking today about all my favorite things (do you pictures julie andrews singing to the von trapp children when you hear that ? i do) so i thought it would be fun to write them out!!
My Favorite Things:



Savannah is definatley one of my favorite people in the world! she is so dang cute, and fancy!! she is such a sweet girl, who is starting to coo and smile, i just love her!!


Cuddling is one of my favorite things too! i think that our kids got that from me, because matt is not a fan of cuddling. lately kyle has been telling me that we just need to cuddle, and i love that!

i love zebra print! i can't get enough of it, i want zebra print shoes really bad, i think that they would look so fancy!!

i just tried a new sweet & sour chicken recipe, and it is really good and easy, so i made it twice last week.

My friend ashley is definatley one of my new favorites, she is so dang funny and fun. i know her from waiting tables awhile ago, that was before she was married and either one of us had kids. she is awesome!! she also is a fany of being fancy, YEAH!!

the way that kyle reacts when matt comes home. it is the best thing i have ever seen. kyle runs as fast as he can yells "daddy's home" and jumps into matts arms. they then go through a very detailed discussion of what matt did on the firetruck the day before.it is so great to see how much they love each other, because i think matt is equally as excited to see kyle.

the office, and i can't wait for the new season to start. i think it has some of the best writing of any tv show i have seen in a long time. it is also the only show i follow religiously.

the summer, i love the warm weather and i am so sad to see it leaving.

that kyle calls me "girl", for instance he always says "thanks girl" or "girl, come get Banna". it is so funny, but most of the things he tells me are dang funny!

the firefighters ball. i love that we get to get all dressed up, matt wears his fancy uniform, and it is fun to dance and see all the firemen behaving themselves. the best part is that matt gets so excited too. ( it is coming up nov. 7th)

MY Not-So -Favorites

folding laundry. it si the worst part and it seems to take me days to finish laundry just because i dread folding it!

our yard. matt and i bought our house in the winter, so we never realized we should have had them take care of putting in our lawn,so this summer with having so much going on , we have put it off. the mud and dirt makes me crazy, but at least i have a cute house anyways.

waking up at night. i realize it is a necessary evil, because savannah has to eat, but i really like to sleep. ( she did only get up once last night, i can do that)


my boobs. yeah, i know none of you really care, but they are way too huge. they make me feel very big. i know that it is just a part of nursing, but they are not attractive ( some members of my family might disagree) and i know that they will not be any better when they shrink after i quit nursing but i am just not a fan of them right now.

Roxy fur. i know the cute dog cant help it, but her fur drives me crazy. i find it everywhere, i mean everywhere. she is a good dog, and cute, so i guess the fur just comes with it.


so that is some of the things i am really into lately!!

the bonds go to the fair!!

kyle and savannah cuddling

so yesterday matt was off of work, so we went down to blackfoot (small town about 25 minutes away) to the eastern idaho state fair. i was not sure what to expect,but it was pretty good sized actually. (it was not texas state fair though)kyle loved seeing all the animals and savannah slept the whole time, which i think she equally enjoyed. matt and i laughed so hard at how quickly would go up to animals and start talking to them.he was bossing the goats around in the petting zoo, then he caught one sneaking food from his little cup, so he told her to go over to time out. kyle asked me a couple times if we could take a horse home. we saw huge cows and horses, they never seem so big when they are in a field or on tv. kyle even got to go on a little ride all by himself, he was so cute, but had a death grip on the sides the whole time. despite not getting any good fair food (i love funnel cakes) it was really fun!
also, this morning kyle was downstairs with me while i was making muffins, and our laundry room is right by our kitchen, so kyle comes out of the laundry room wearing as much as he can of matt's dress uniform. he is so cute and funny. notice the socks, he was especially proud of those!!
