Bunny Troubles

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bunny,

It is with great regret that I must tell you that your little bunny's life has been cut short by a careless driver, myself. I am truly sorry to tell you this. I was briefly glancing off in the distance and your little one jumped right in front of my vehicle. There was no time to react and I'm sorry that bunny did not make it across the street. I feel terrible about this! I thought I should let you know that I have never done this before and I hope it never happens again. I apologize again for my actions and I know that words can not fill the empty space in your bunny home. I hope you with find it in your hearts to forgive me.

Your Neighbor


{It's happened!!! I have run over my first road kill... and I felt terrible! I had to get it off my chest...}

Mr. Naked


Anybody that has been around us lately know that Mr. CRU likes to always pull his shorts down and then proceed to take off his diaper if I don't catch him in time. I know it is a little funny but it's driving me nuts!! He is always coming back to me with a wet leg or two and then I have to search the house to find his little "marking". You would think he is a dog for as much as he does!! Gotta love the kid though because he's so darn cute...

It's a TiVo life


TiVo was on our "wish list" when we graduated dental school and moved and we had no idea that it would be sooo great! Well, we had some idea, but didn't know the impact it would have on our lives. Living on the east coast all our TV shows started around 8pm or 9pm so we could get the kids in bed by then no problem, but living here they start at 7pm. So here's where TiVo shines... recording our shows so we don't miss a moment of the latest vote off, basketball score, or the funny joke. How did we live without it before? Am I the only one that is totally in love with this ingenious invention?!
I had mentioned that it has had an effect on our family as well... What kid do you know pauses the TV while he runs to the bathroom? Mine. What kid is asking to pause "real life" because he is a bit confused and forgets that life is not TiVo? Mine. And who thinks about rewinding the cutest smile from the baby or the funny thing that a kid has just said? That would be me. I forget the difference from real life to TiVo too... oops.
So for those of you that have not taken the plunge and done the TiVo thing, you are missing out! Who would not want to fast forward through all the commercials and watch your show in a fraction of the time????? You have to get it! Enough said.

Memorial Day Fun





This year we had Matt's whole family in town together so we took advantage! We headed up to Zion's National Park and went hiking. We had quite the group with two newborns, three one and a half year olds, and three preschoolers, with one pregnant aunt. It was a lot of fun to see all the beautiful colors up there and take part in a fun family outing. After the hike we rode the shuttle bus back down and headed to Oscar's restaurant, a favorite of grandma and grandpa Hammons. Despite our hour wait for food (which is whole different story), we had some yummy food.

After heading home I was stricken with an upset stomach all evening. I felt like I was going to "lose my lunch" the whole night. I was finally able to go to bed, but was awaken with a mad dash to the bathroom. There went my lunch...

It still was a fun weekend with the whole family. We loved the visits from Aunt Molly and Uncle Elliott and Aunt Annie, Uncle Jon, and Shelby!
