oh the mems

As I'm sitting here at work wondering how much fun all the kiddies in Salt Lake are having on this stupidly sunny day, I am taken back to a better place. A place where 80% humidity and 100 degree weather go hand in hand. A place where I really have no idea what mom did all day while we played outside. Yes. Texas in the summer. Things like:

-playing the football game on the tramp after church
-Josh and me taking those white flour buckets in the pool and putting them over our heads while the other sat on top so we could breath underwater. we definitely thought we were cool.
-sleeping with my swimsuit under my pajamas thinking mom couldn't tell

What else? And what about California? I hardly remember anything from Mandarin Drive beside Josh eating all the cherry tomatoes and drying off on the cement.

So, I've officially hit 36 weeks. Who wants to weigh in on when, exactly, I'll have Trece and how big she'll be? I'd like to say I have a prize for the winner, but let's be honest. I'll have just had a baby and won't be good for much of anything. Are bragging rights enough of a prize?

bling, bling

Guess what Posh did this weekend! Justin called as they were headed to Provo and told me I should ask Posh what she wanted to do. Well, her reply was "get my b-ears bierced" (get my ears pierced). I guess since I've been a part of the torture of Juddy's other two, he decided to include me this time as well. So, off we went to the mall to do just that!

This kid has no idea what she's in for!

The ear marking might have been more frightening.

The second one wasn't so bad.

What is that face?

OK, get ready, here it comes!

Well, she did cry, but only for about 15 seconds. As soon as the girl offered her a sucker, all tears stopped. All afternoon and evening, she was thrilled to show off her ears. If you asked her what was in her ears, she'd reply, "bling, bling." Well, she did get 4mm pink "diamonds" and while 4mm isn't very big, it's huge on a tiny 2 year old. According to Juddy, she continues to show them off to anybody that will look. Fortunately, we didn't traumatize her too much. Hey Trav, are we getting your girls ears pierced when I'm in Texas in September?
