Our First Triathlon

I registered Jeremy and I for our first triathlon. May 2010. I know it's not for awhile but this is a BIG step for us. That tiny picture is the venue for the event. Stay tuned for more updates on our training. . . that should be entertaining.

Hari Raya Festivities

This past month the Muslims participated in Ramadan, the month of fasting from dawn until sunset. Hari Raya is the celebration of the fast. Last weekend we were invited to a Hari Raya party. It was an experience quite unlike anything you'd encounter in the US. There were people from all over the world: the US, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, and India to name the ones I remember. And on the ride home our cabby was from Pakistan. (Jeremy tring to be friendly told him that he'd really like to go to Pakistan some day to see K2, the earth's second tallest mountain peak. He quickly replied, "Oh they would shoot you down!" Alright last time we're going to be friendly to pakistan cabbies!)

This is taking too long so I'm not going to comment on the pictures like I usually do. But there were funny games, good food, and of course my handsome little guy! Jeremy was handsome too as he said a few words in Malay! Good job hon you are becoming so cultured!

My Nerdo Hubby - I LOVE YOU!

NEED I SAY MORE???

I almost peed my pants looking at this pic of Jeremy and Tai his new co-worker here in Singapore. The funniest thing is that Jer's face fits perfectly in Will Ferrell's fat head, parking lots and all. :) Jeremy is thrilled to have a fellow American to relate with at work. As you can tell they have 'brotherly love' already. Yeah I can tell you two are working hard all day long with NO downtime. . . definitely no time to play around with photo shop (wink ;-)

Kanye's A JACKA*$*$*!!!

So I know I'm behind here across the world but last night Jer and I just watched the MTV VMA awards and I could not believe that Kanye could be an even bigger jerk than he already was. But sure enough he topped it when he did that to Taylor Swift. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about see the video below)

MTV Shows

I don't know how she pulled it together, but I thought she rocked her performance. It was the best second only to Pink's acrobatic rendition of Sober. I couldn't believe the stunts she was doing while singing. . . WOW. It was moving. . . (To see her performance see the video below. WARNING: Rated PG-13 for heart shaped pastey on leotard and somewhat provocative :)

P!nk - New Music - More Music Videos

Anyhow that's just my thoughts on the 2009 VMA awards. Although I'm sure we could have spent our time doing something productive such as sleeping, It certainly made for an entertaining late night for the two of us. And it gave me some celebrity gossip. (Jer already knew all about it since he actually keeps up with the world news and reads MSNBC daily. . .I thought to myself "you already knew about all that drama and you didn't think to tell me???" Geesh it was kinda a big deal.) So this makes 2 posts for one day and i'm just blogged OUT! LOL. Actually my dreaded task of cleaning the house is haunting me and I've really got to get it done while Crew is sleeping and before daddy gets home from work. G'night!

This Week's Happenings

Well little Crew is now 4mos as of the 18th. He is as handsome as ever and such a GOOD little guy. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. Some of his new accomplishments include:

-grabbing his feet and trying to suck on those little toes

-laughing and giggling without being tickled

-talking almost shouting when he just wants to be heard

-rolling to his side

-taking his binki out of his mouth, examining it (no success with putting it back in:)

-getting super excited when he sees his binki or mommy's 'milk jugs' right before a feed

-he can now use his hands to pull on his little toy that he used to use his feet

He loves to hold soft things and put them by his face such as blankets, clothes, whatever. To get him to sleep he has to have his blankie by his face (so cute but sometimes scary as he occasionally pulls it over his face and can't get it off. I have to keep a close eye on him when he's napping.)

Here he is holding his very cute burb rag (thanks Becky he LOVES it:) he will hang on to it and suck on it better than a toy. This particular day was pretty hot out so instead of a blanket he cuddled with his burb rag. I wish I had a picture of it but I didn't want to wake him up. Some cute girls in our ward. On Sat Kate and Lehi hosted a fun BBQ at their place. It was a great time with food, friends, and swimming. Even though it was raining a bit the kids still had a blast in the pool. A candid snap of the party.

My little 4mos old baby! And sweet Cara in the background. (She's just a month and a half younger than Crew.)

I had to get a picture of my yummy cinnamon rolls. They turned out pretty nice and I'm proud to say I didn't go home with any leftovers. . . although with a dozen kids that's pretty easy.

I thought this was a pretty funny pic of Jer. . . not sure what face he was making but it kinda reminded me of a vampire???

In addition to Crew turning 4mos he had to go in yesterday for his 2nd round of immunizations. It's been a sad past two days as he has had a slight fever and just not feeling well. I got some good cuddling in since he didn't want to be put down, but it was still so sad to see him sick. Poor think he's got drops in his eye and medicine for the fever. Anytime I lay him down and lean over he closes his eyes and mouth, worried that I'm going to be putting something in them, once he realizes the coast is clear he gives me a big grin or a giggle. Cute little dude.
