Tell me how you couldn't love this boy to death. I just love those days that you forget about everything that is going on in your world and you take a step back and realize how blessed you are. I'm not sure what I did to get this cute boy but I'm super happy he is mine forever. I usually go do my own thing when Thomas puts Asher to bed but tonight I sat there and watched Thomas read to Asher as he fell asleep. I just about died because i was overwhelmed with happiness. I think it's impossible to describe the way Thomas makes me feel. I really like this song because this is how Thomas is to me EVERYDAY!



p.s. I love the movie Up, I choose the picture because I'm feel more then honored to grow old with the love of my life.

Thoughts on a Tuesday

Family
-We are getting healthy and fit while doing the P90X workout/eating. We have done it for a whole week and two days, and are already feeling a good difference. Eating healthy and exercising everyday is hard work.
- We found a mobile home park in Layton, UT that we would like to move to. We are anticipating moving this lovely place (lol) in May.

Thomas
-Was called to be the second councler in the elders quorum presidency.
-Has done a few little more updating to our house (finally put up the last two cabints in the landray room, finished tileing the entry way, and put 4 cute little can lights in out dark family room.
-He is taking 13 credits of really hard English major classes  

Asher
-Turned 18 months and just loves nursey. In fact a couple weeks before he was old enough we were walking though the hall and he threw a huge temper tantrum when I said he would be able to go into the nusery room.
- We rearranged and moved our bedrooms in our house, and he is know in the big back room. He loves the space with his toys and watching Disney movies.
- Asher has loved learning to communicate and has many words in his vocabulary. Although some are more strong then others. His strongest is mommy! Other strong one's include dad, grandpa, bath, kiss, juice, all done, more, dog, and toes. He really likes making animal noises and monkey's oohhaa is if favorite.
- His dad has read over 10 chapter books with Asher and just finished Indian in the Cupboard. I wonder what will b next.
- He sleeps like an angel 12-13 hours every night and a 2-3 hour nap during the day.
- His favorite foods include eggs, strawberries, yogurt and any kind of cracker/bread. He can fully feed himself with a baby spoon or fork and just loves the independence. I love cleaning up the messes (lol)
- He is just the cutest little thing you ever did see. He is very aware of others and constently amazes me. 

Melinda
- I make my way though the day taking care of my sweet family and inching my way though classes.
- I will be participating in a Valentine Boutique on Feb. 8th with two other friends and I'm really excited. I know i said i would never do this again during the semester but it was super cheap and my sweet girlfriends are in on the run with me. I will be featuring my lamps.

Music My LIFe

Yes! Music I love it and this is a list of my most favorite songs of 2010

I think you can tell a person by the music they listen to. 
Usually if you dress punk rock - you listen to punk rock 

If you are a full time ballerina - you probably listen to a lot of  classical music


If you only listen to country - you  most likely dress like a cowgirl, cowboy

And if you like a song just cas it's good - your like me! And yes - most songs are connected to feelings!
