How we hang!

I just thought I'd give everyone a sneak peek into our lives. They are definitely not as exciting as some others(Jamie) but we still enjoy our days. Courtney's new favorite thing is to shower with me in the morning. She used to be terrified of the shower but now she loves it. I think it has something to do with being able to squeegee the glass because if I forget and do it myself she comes apart. After she gets out and gets wrapped up in a towel, she runs downstairs to get her blanket and to finish watching whatever show was on.

She has gotten really good about wanting to get dressed but it's a little frustrating at times because she has a definite opinion of what she thinks she should wear.

She loves to help me clean. Let me make my quick plug for one of the best inventions ever(Audra has also attested to this). If you do not own a Swiffer Vac, you have to get one. It is the greatest for hard surface flooring. I can't believe how great it works. It's so much better than sweeping, where you inevitably miss dirt and lint. The great added bonus is that Dave likes to use it and so does Courtney. She will vacum until the charge wears out and it really does get clean with just my two year old working it. Dave and Courtney love to be silly! If anyone has seen the movie, The Holiday, you will get what they are doing in these pictures. If not, you have to see it. Not just to get our wackiness but also because it's honestly one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I loved it. Anyway, in the movie a father turns himself into "Mr. Napkinhead". Dave and Courtney think it's great. And I love it too and finally got it on camera.
When Courtney is finally in bed at night, and I'm not watching Alias(our favorite show that we rent), I find time to quilt. This is my latest quilt that I made for my new nephew, Kash. Strange name I know, but not a misprint. Anyway, I had to share it with everyone.

Okay, I really really want to learn how to quilt! That is awesome! How do you do all the fancy stitching? And did I not warn you about the clothes thing? It only gets worse, trust me.

This is the first I've heard about Kash--the baby and the new spelling. I'm actually a little upset about it. I finally left a message with Kip telling him that I'd like to know what's going on. Whatever, I guess that's what I get for moving away from the Utah pipeline. Thank goodness for the internet...and a technology savvy sister.

p.s. That picture of Courtney in the towel is ridiculously cute! :-)
