Noa loves to help me with EVERYTHING! He gets super jealous when I clean the kitchen and wear my yellow gloves, the other day I walk in the family room and there he was with my gloves trying to figure out how to get them on.<br />

He got them on and then didn't like it as much as he thought he would, then he had a little cry. When he forces or fakes crying he dramatically puts his hand in front of his face...he is just so sad. Am I a mean mom because I think his crying face is adorable? I think not.<br />

It's just so sad.<br />

So we were in SG last weekend and while at Alli's soccer game Noa wanted to wear my sun hat, I think he was channeling his Mexican heritage....I especially like the fact that his paci is sideways.<br />

<span style="font-size: 100%;">So it has been FOREVER since my last post, I had no idea how exhausting motherhood can be and how little time it leaves for writing about my life. So much has happen</span><span style="font-size: 100%;">ed in the last 8 + months. Noa is one, we celebrated his first birthday on January 30, he can walk and loves it. He thinks he is so big :) he thinks he can talk, ask him...he'll tell you ;) he walks around saying, "ssssgauw ssssgaauw sssgauw" or "duhga, duhga, duhga" and my favorite "meeeeeeee, meeeee....." the cutest is when he walks up to little kids and just starts talking, they just look at him like what is this baby saying...but he doesn't care, he knows he's a big deal.</span><br />

I don't mean to brag, but Noa is quite the ladies man. I mean baby girls just take one look at those big brown eyes and they melt. It is hilarious, he is like the only b<span style="font-size: 100%;">oy that is around his age....so he is surrounded by baby girls. But it is so cute, especially two little girls in particular they are both a couple months younger than him but when he comes around they just crawl or walk over and gives him kisses or hugs. It is so cute :)</span></div>

After all the wonderful advice I decided I needed to bit the bullet and undo the bad habit I had created with Noa and his napping. For those of you that don't know, Noa usually only naps in my arms. Let me start by explaining that this was not the kind of parent I planned on being, it just happened. Chris and I figured out it all started when I was nursing exclusively, Noa was so fussy, so we assumed he had colic and I cut things out of my diet and I started rocking him to sleep and pretty much doing anything to get him to fall asleep. After his one month doctors appointment, we learned that Noa wasn't getting enough to eat, at all. He had gained only a single once in almost 4 weeks! He was supposed to gain that in a day. Stressed and feeling like a horrible mom I started pumping to ensure he got enough milk as well as continuing to let him nap in my arms. Well as you can imagine this has gotten really old, after five months of almost being glued to the house I decided that's it somethings got to give. So over the weekend I started working on his sleep problems one at a time, first the napping I started laying him in his crib after I rocked him and you wont believe that he has been sleeping in his crib for an hour now and he's still asleep. I orignally tried letting him cry himself to sleep but he didn't fall asleep and I couldn't do it. I remembered a book that Meesa swears by "Secrets of the Baby Whisperer" I had read it when I was pregnant and tried it when Noa was a few weeks old but that's when he wasn't eating enough so it didn't work and I forgot about it. I picked up the book yesterday and it actually had a whole chapter on Noa's problems it was like a God send. Thanks Meesa! So the plan is to get him to feel comfortable in his room and his crib so eventually he will drift off to dreamland on his own. I just can't believe it's working, I would recommend this book to anyone. I just wanted to say thanks for all of the great advice, it really gave me the motivation to do something different. Hopefully in a week or so Noa will be sleeping like a pro.Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-74442032957321672702011-07-07T07:40:00.000-07:002011-07-07T07:51:40.644-07:007amSo after I wake up my lovely sleep with Noa, you know, the kind where he just lies next to you without a stir and then just smiles at you when he wakes up..at 7am. Carree is asleep on the couch and is desperately tired. Not only that but she plans on going back to sleep for at least another 30 minutes before I have to get ready to go to work. Sounds like a solid plan, right? Well, our apartment complex found it a wise idea to do some renovations to our pool, generally not a bad idea. However, when they decided they needed to do the renovation at 7am with the use of a jackhammer then they ensue the wrath of a sleepless mother. And this leaves Carree awake again.<div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Cernyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05190279417497770521noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-82987223132070707302011-07-07T02:33:00.001-07:002011-07-07T02:52:03.414-07:00Ramblings of a Sleepless MotherIt's 2:30 in the morning and I am up yet again, I can't fall asleep after feeding Noa and putting him back down. He's 5 months old and at 4 months he slept from 7:30 to anywhere between 4 and 5 in the morning with a midnight dream feed, which was pretty good if you ask me and he had been sleeping like that from about 2 and 1/2 to 3 months, but I have no clue what his deal is now. For the last two weeks he's been getting up every two hours and eating anywhere from 4- 6 ounces each time and I am so utterly exhausted. I tank him up before bed and it's no help, he's even started to eat rice cereal but the boy still gets up every 2 hours for more. I am so tired right now that I can't sleep, I know it sounds crazy but I just lay in bed getting more and more frustrated at the fact that I can't drift back into sleep. So here I am writing to get my frustrations off my chest in the hope that I will be able to sleep for at least an hour before I am awaken again by Noa at 4 ....most likely. I have not had more than two hours of consecutive sleep for way too long and I have never been the best sleeper and the more tired I get the harder it is for me to sleep. I am surprised I am even functioning, will this ever end? I am sure you all are thinking well he needs to nap more, but honestly his napping is alright... besides the fact that he refuses to sleep longer than an hour in the daytime out of my arms. So as long as I hold him he takes some pretty good naps. I just wish I could figure out the magic way to get him to sleep better, so that I can sleep better. I get mad that Chris can drift into sleep so effortlessly and I can't. Noa even sleeps well, he just gets up to feed and then goes right back down....but not me. I can't wait until he this growth spurt from hell ends and I get my Noa back. I just hope that ends really soon, because I am just so exhausted. I think the lack of sleep is starting to really get to me.Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-23829397248731993942011-06-27T22:10:00.000-07:002011-06-27T22:25:54.129-07:00LifeLife has been very busy lately, Noa is growing so fast, he is sitting up with support, he laughs a lot and his smile melts my heart. We are just loving our little Noa, once I figure out how to get the sound to work on my videos I make on my phone I will post a video so you all can hear his infectious laugh. We really do love every minute with him...sigh :)<div><br /></div><div>Well here's what's new with us:</div><div>Chris has been training for races he plans to do at the end of the summer and into the fall and the one I am most excited for is <a href="http://www.azurbanathlon.com/">AZurbanAtholon</a> it's going to be way fun. I can't wait to see him scale walls and jump over cars, he'll be like an action hero :) When I asked him, how he was going to train for all of the obstacles in this race he said he would train at park and on play grounds... I can't wait to see that when it starts to get cool enough for him to train outside. hahaha. As for me I have never been so committed to going to the gym daily, I guess being a mom helps with the desire for a little break every day. I have been going to Zumba as well as weightlifting and although I am not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination I do have fun. I feel like the less I care about what I look like and just dance my heart out the more calories I burn. I just pray that one day I will be better at it because I really do love to dance. Other than that nothing new is really going on, being parents is fun and we are still adjusting to our new lives with Noa. Sorry I don't really have any funny stories, I will try and post next time something good happens, if I can remember. </div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-27628864061677973252011-06-27T21:55:00.000-07:002011-06-27T22:08:37.809-07:00Pictures of Noa<div><br /></div><div>This is a picture of Noa with a bunny that Tia Maggie sent for Easter, he loves it :) it's the perfect size for him to snuggle. </div><div><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitNS3iK6l1kyO3FWubCU3BWXuN4EKBJhmjQH0FlnNU_EMmzhBvtWbbhRc9MXf-glDWPc18Qr3ba9dbM1SzkFT13M-SJuGvqFHIiRdbalveAyAC8oLgguo8UsZCGB2hTz2VJE6XvY_R-06Y/s400/DSC04956.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623131659179572674" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBefVet4blsUiXmMbxak4y1S9s8JsJr3-ebkEd6Y7RVob8Jlk0nASl_vcSoXM-6qJR0Dh73Z26oSEQerVswkzLkltwgD9haw8XFAZQwBi8n_0UXzqqDE-tkpHhCmVTEPy0pzkN7TfQ0Dn/s1600/DSC04980.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBefVet4blsUiXmMbxak4y1S9s8JsJr3-ebkEd6Y7RVob8Jlk0nASl_vcSoXM-6qJR0Dh73Z26oSEQerVswkzLkltwgD9haw8XFAZQwBi8n_0UXzqqDE-tkpHhCmVTEPy0pzkN7TfQ0Dn/s400/DSC04980.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623131680852597154" /></a>I get bored most days so other day I decided to dress Noa up in one of his adorable outfits that is too hot for Arizona and did a little photo shoot.

I have been having contractions since about week 37 off and on but the baby hasn't come. We had an ultrasound at 37 and a half weeks and he is looking great. He's in the 12% for size and I just can't wait to meet him all ready. The last few days my feet and hands have been swelling like crazy...it's so cute, I'm sure you're all very jealous. When I go out people stare at me, no longer do I get those oh look at the cute prego women look, but just blank stares, the worst part was it was mostly women staring, you'd think they would understand and not stare so shamelessly. I've decided people can be rude, I mean, honestly, have they never seen a pregnant woman before? Oh well, at least I'll have this baby, I really just want to meet him already. I can't believe in a few days I will be a mom and my life as I know it, will change forever.... so crazy and exciting. Now it's just a matter of when we're going to meet the little guy.Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-63393616596176394782010-12-10T16:51:00.000-08:002010-12-10T17:12:09.679-08:00Finally finished with finals!!!!!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I just finished my finals!!!!!

Yay! Hooray! Yippee! I got up super early this morning so that he would wake up to a birthday breakfast, the menu: German pancakes with homemade butter syrup. Well the pancakes were great but the butter syrup...not so much, it tasted exactly like sweetened condensed milk, needless to say we didn't eat the syrup. Then Chris left for work, after I cleaned the kitchen I was super sleepy, if you think I feel asleep for like two hours you'd be right. Now I've got to the store and get everything to make Chris's birthday pie, anyone who knows Chris well, know that fruit pies are his favorite dessert, especially cherry pie. The challenge for me each year is to master a cherry pie recipe. This year I am debating on whether I should do a cherry cheese pie, decisions, decisions. Since Chris and I are working on finals what better way to spend your birthday than eating pie and studying. I just keep reassuring him that in 2012 he wont have finals on his birthday. <div><div><br /></div><div>Update on the pregnancy, everything is going well, the baby is growing and moving like crazy, it's a lot of fun. In a week and a half we'll have another ultra sound so we'll post pictures. I can't believe how fast the pregnancy is going, I here that the last month is the longest. I have a little over a month to get myself organized and ready for him. I just hope I don't sleep through the nesting period, hahaha, I can't believe how sleepy I am. My morning sickness is back and for some reason it makes me even more tired. Only 46 more days. Yay!!!!</div></div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-19620249634746873492010-09-09T15:17:00.000-07:002010-09-09T15:32:50.789-07:00White trash or Brilliant?<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Well we no longer have Direct TV and unfortunately we gave away our antenna when we got our new TV thinking that it had a antenna built in...silly us.

Man was it hard for me to decide. Chris was indifferent and that honestly made it worse for me, so at one point I decided I was absolutely not finding out, then I made the mistake of talking to my sister Shannon and she has this strange power over me.... she can change my mind on anything, she's just so darn persuasive. Here's an example: my car, I decided to buy a car when I was 20 and my dad, sister and I went car shopping, I loved the Oldsmobile Allero but the dealership only had a black one and in the heat that's not the best color, so I test drove a white grand am and I wasn't really feeling the car. Shannon on the other hand LOVED it, so she started telling me all the wonderful features, etc. and by the end of the day I bought the grand am. My car's okay but I don't love it, but at least Shannon does :) hahaha. <div>That story aside, after talking to Shan, I started to think I would find out on my first child. so on Tuesday afternoon we found out we're having a ...drum roll...baby boy!!! I would post images from the ultra sound but she really only got pictures of his wee wee, I thought it was comical that I got like 4 pictures of his thingy and then 2 of his foot and that was about it :) don't be jealous ;) </div><div>Now Chris and I are trying to agree on names and packing up our apartment for our big move at the end of the month. I get exhausted just thinking about moving. We both started our fall semesters this week so we've got a lot going on. </div><div>I am also proud to say that I finish a quilt last week while I was in St. George, yay!!!</div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-34773775762170434972010-08-18T11:14:00.000-07:002010-08-18T12:04:07.639-07:00Summer fun!Well, it has been way too long since I have written a post, life has been crazy these past few months. We kicked off our summer in style this year with an awesome trip to CO, the plan originally was too do a few hikes and spend most of our time outside in the beautiful CO weather. But a few weeks before we left I started to get sooo tired and I was feeling nauseated so of course when I realized that it wasn't just exhaustion from finals and all the YW stuff I had going on, I naturally took a pregnancy test and found we were expecting! Yay! When we went on our trip I was 7 weeks along and morning sickness started to rear it's ugly head. So with all the joys of early pregnancy we ended up chillaxin' a lot of the time there, was fine with me. But we had such a blast, it was like my last hoorah before I really started to feel sick. What did we do a lot of why we were there? We ate, it was great because when we got back I couldn't eat anything, so it was like my farewell to good food for awhile. For the next several weeks I formed a close relationship with the toilet and my bed. I had no idea how sick one gets being pregnant, I thought it would be uncomfortable but nothing like having the flu, boy was I ever wrong. I felt like I had the flu for a couple months straight. I could never find anything appetizing to eat. I have just started to be able to eat good food, yay for the second trimester!!! I felt so bad for Chris the poor guy had to prepare or buy any food that we ate because I couldn't do it without getting sick. The worst was that I would think something sounded edible, he would go and buy it and I couldn't eat it :( am I grateful we timed this pregnancy like we did, I wasn't in school during all of this so my grades didn't suffer. That's really why I didn't post anything because I wasn't prepared to post the I am preggers and the fact that I didn't have much to write.<div>So now that I have more energy and am a lot less sick, I have been a busy bee. Last week I spent a day picking out a baby quilt that I had messed up on and the next day I re-pieced the quilt and quilted all in two days! I am seriously proud of myself. Now I just have to figure out what I will do for the binding. </div><div>The last couple days I have been working on a choir dress for a girl in my ward, she's so tiny that in the first fitting I had to pretty much take the whole dress apart and remake it but we had a fitting last night and it fit perfectly so now I can finish it and I am super excited. I'll post a picture when I am finished. It's going to be so cute. </div><div>Chris and I will be moving to North Phoenix on October 1st, normally I would have most of our apartment packed by now, but because we have lived here for over two years I have a lot of stuff to go through and a lot donations to make to DI. We have way too much stuff and I have been going through what seems like never-ending storage, we already took a car load over to DI. The one upside to moving is that you are a lot more able to purge your life of all the unnecessary stuff. </div><div><br /></div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-48797083141374905072010-04-26T10:14:00.000-07:002010-04-26T10:26:28.082-07:00Duke is one lucky school :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht25WWbdz-Su1mQP41baHSdc27HcyG_awNJ0ivw1el55hobKGUsPzqrAI5OHR-bxSK-xPDrvVPjJBLA84Qx9A9Ympd6MFLWybYjKwDmeg2R-8wGKpvr-EoM6aLpkeZPeGfurVqRG7mvl-H/s1600/duke_blue_devils.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht25WWbdz-Su1mQP41baHSdc27HcyG_awNJ0ivw1el55hobKGUsPzqrAI5OHR-bxSK-xPDrvVPjJBLA84Qx9A9Ympd6MFLWybYjKwDmeg2R-8wGKpvr-EoM6aLpkeZPeGfurVqRG7mvl-H/s320/duke_blue_devils.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464496001467853202" border="0" /></a><br />Chris has been accepted into the Master of Engineering Management program at Duke, yay!!!!

We wont be moving to North Carolina, they actually offer an away study program where we can still stay here and he just goes to campus a week out of the semester and then studies online for the rest of the semester.

So all and all it was a great weekend.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiulAy1E3DfGteNH2WOtVhiazkMFnef6Q4aFcndGZ5RqiJrOk4S-uMenhGoNwna_6botgyLkf9QIP6ulhf_DGnkW5Bc96bMow5eIqv2RngZayx11DEPODa1PCK-Np-CH1_1hhVSYH-G0n8Z/s1600-h/DSC02111.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiulAy1E3DfGteNH2WOtVhiazkMFnef6Q4aFcndGZ5RqiJrOk4S-uMenhGoNwna_6botgyLkf9QIP6ulhf_DGnkW5Bc96bMow5eIqv2RngZayx11DEPODa1PCK-Np-CH1_1hhVSYH-G0n8Z/s320/DSC02111.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428978575715290466" border="0" /></a>To date, we're just getting into the groove of day to day life. My semester starts on February 1st and I have been crazy busy getting prepared. Chris is settling in nicely to full time work. In a nutshell that's what's new with us.Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-81586934875605244592009-10-16T14:28:00.000-07:002009-10-16T14:54:22.074-07:00Go Chris!Disclaimer: If you're not in the mood for some serious bragging, don't read on.<br /><br />But, you're most likely wondering right now if Chris is a big deal? Well, He is....and if you're thinking, "Carree, why is he such a big deal?" Well, I can tell you...first because people know him and secondly, he not only graduates in a little over two months, he has a job as soon as he graduates!!! Phew, what a relief, but when you're married to a man with the mad skills like his, need I expect any less?<br />No, but seriously we're super excited! Not to get too corny but I am really proud of him. The forms are all signed and on Dec. 21st Chris starts at Performance Software as a real grown up, okay, so "Real Grown Up" wont be his job title, but you have to admit it would be pretty funny if it was. Wow I think I'm funny, don't worry I am fully aware that I am a dork :) ...don't be jealous. Chris, just think only a few more weeks and you're done. Yay!!!Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-45924778697131092132009-09-24T21:58:00.000-07:002009-09-24T22:49:45.783-07:00AssumptionsWow, it has been forever since my last post. I have been so busy, Chris and I got new callings and have been super busy. The best part about getting our called was that Chris had heard days earlier from a little bird, Jeremy, that it was very likely I was going to be called as Young Women President. So when the executive secretary called him and asked if the bishop could meet with us on Sunday, naturally, Chris assumed it was because I was going to be called. Well when we met with the bishop, Chris was on fire, cool and confident, telling jokes right and left about how awesome and perfect he was and how much I need to learn from him. In the midst of Chris's bantering the bishop says, "Well it's so great that you are so perfect, because we would like to call you to be the ward mission leader." His expression went from absolute certainty to complete bewilderment with in a matter of seconds. One of those moments you wish cameras were appropriate, and that you actually carried a camera in your purse, but alas there is no photographic evidence of this Kodak moment....just take my word for it, it was very funny. Of course after that I assumed I no longer had to worry, but boy was I wrong, the next week I was called to be Young Women President. The moral of this story is never make assumptions, because, it is very likely that you are wrong.Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-52872984519010672382009-06-11T20:13:00.001-07:002009-06-11T20:15:32.178-07:00NEVER try to hug a porcupine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZrsRXi85oFaLI6EV6cQoAPmIPsLWXO1YWAlnnBwrRuQ4febE5t6i23ew4hm4QojI9r4IRhM9HWSfwb8s7JD3GfxZ3n_mFWcGUHmyayEpBEXRjWr5wFzL4nDekFKKR1Kh9bFDoFkZ3Zyf/s1600-h/porky2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMZrsRXi85oFaLI6EV6cQoAPmIPsLWXO1YWAlnnBwrRuQ4febE5t6i23ew4hm4QojI9r4IRhM9HWSfwb8s7JD3GfxZ3n_mFWcGUHmyayEpBEXRjWr5wFzL4nDekFKKR1Kh9bFDoFkZ3Zyf/s400/porky2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346274069907379202" border="0" /></a>No matter how cute or cuddly they may look, a porcupine is a porcupine, you hug porcupine and you will get poked.<br /><div style="text-align: right;">-Words of wisdom from my dear sister<br /></div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-8856514650559348522009-06-01T17:31:00.001-07:002009-06-01T17:33:26.623-07:00Castle Rock Canyon Pictures<img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTI*MzkwMjUzNjEyMiZwdD*xMjQzOTAyNTczOTQ5JnA9NDA5MzExJmQ9QnVpbGRlckVtYmVkJm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTImdD*mbz1mYWQ1YjdhMzg2OGQ*OWY3YTcwMDk1MzFhYWUxNzY2MSZvZj*w.gif" border="0" width="0" height="0" /><object width="420" height="312"><param name="movie" value="http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer_v2_embed.swf?scrapblogId=1882964&showShareButton=true&showShareInitially=true&showOnlyShare=false&partnerId=1"><embed src="http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer_v2_embed.swf?scrapblogId=1882964&showShareButton=true&showShareInitially=true&showOnlyShare=false&partnerId=1" width="420" height="312"></embed></object>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-12063178820501497682009-05-31T21:21:00.001-07:002009-05-31T22:09:50.645-07:00It's been so long...Well life has been <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">craz</span>-a-y busy these days, obviously, I haven't written in ages! I just haven't had anything funny happen lately and in my mind if you don't have anything funny or clever to say don't say anything at all, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ha ha</span> just kidding! I wish the only things that came out of this mouth were clever or funny, wouldn't it be nice?<br /><br />Okay over the last little while we:<br /><br />1.Went to Parker, CO to visit <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Meesa</span>, Trev, Carter and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Avry</span>, it was super fun weekend. I did manage to get car sick and the first day and ended up <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">spuing</span> on the side of the road, we had to pull off the road for like 15 minutes... it was super smooth and not <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">embarrassing</span> at all. You're probably saying to yourself right now, "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">whatev</span>' that would be humiliating" and if you are, you'd be right... to say I was mortified would be an understatement and yet I am posting it in my blog. I just can't help but write <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">embarrassing</span> things down...it's an addiction. I think I was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">embarrassed</span> b/c it was my first time visiting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Mees</span> and Trev and on the first day I got sick and not just that I had to throw up. Needless to say after <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">chillaxin</span>' at the side of the road for a few. We piled back in the car and drove, really slowly, back to their house. Where <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Mees</span> and I watched a chick flick...it was a super productive day. The days that followed were great and we had a blast going to Castle Rock Canyon, which is beautiful and defiantly worth visiting. The weather was amazing! I miss cooler climates. We also got to go to a few open houses, which is one of my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">fav</span>. things to do and got some great decorating ideas. All and all it was a great weekend, we just loved getting to see the them and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">chillaxin</span>' for a few. Before Chris starts his summer semester and life starts getting really hectic.<br /><br />2. Chris finished his spring semester at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">ASU</span>. We've been enjoying having more time to spend together and are really looking forward to having him graduate in December...don't be jealous! He starts summer semester on Tuesday so the break between semesters wasn't nearly long enough. But at least we only have to worry about that for a little while longer.<br /><br />3. I have started a work out group with a few friends and they come over at 6:30am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Mon</span>-Sat and do P90X workouts with me, it's great! I love having people that are willing to come and do the workouts with me. Otherwise, if I am by myself I don't push myself as hard, it's a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">inconvenient</span> truth about me, I have to be honest if I am not in competition with someone, than I just don't give my all, so my friends and I are in a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">competition</span> but they don't know about it and I'm winning...<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">ha ha</span> let's just have that be our little secret. But I am super happy to have friends willing to come and workout with me, it's so great.<br /><br />4. Our ward has changed a lot in the last little bit, I got a new calling as the 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">nd</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Counselor</span> in the Young <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Women's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Presidency</span> and I love it! The girls are great and the other leaders I serve with are amazing. Chris is in the secretary in the Elders quorum presidency and the President was recently called to serve in the Bishopric so Chris has been a little more busy, because of it.<br /><br />5. Chris had a review at work this last week and got some great feedback from his Manager, they really love him there and told him that he has a position as an intern straight through until graduation! Go Chris, they also were hinting that they will most likely offer him a full time position after graduation, so finger crossed he'll get a job with them. He really enjoys working for their company and loves the people he works with so we are hopeful that he will be offered a job their!<br /><br />Well that's our last month or so in a very large nut shell.

Last week while talking to my sister, Shannon, on the phone she told me to clean my floor with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, something I had never thought of using it to clean the floor before. When I went to buy the erasers I actually found a Magic Eraser Mop! That's right a mop that is sure to meet any clean freaks wildest moping dreams, I didn't even realize that it was a Magic Eraser Mop until I was at the Cash register, I think that the Cashier thought I was so weird because I couldn't hide my excitement. So I started cleaning with the magic eraser mop, I was amazed at how it made my floor shine. It was really life changing, but the mop wasn't enough for me so I got on my hands and knees and re moped with the magic eraser sponge, I had totally forgot how awesome this white little sponge is. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to clean and so once I started I couldn't stop. What started out as a floor mopping adventure became several hours of cleaning all the baseboards, doors, walls, cupboards and pretty much anything that was in our apartment. If you're thinking that this took a lot magic erasers, then you'd be right, I actually sent Chris to Walmart to buy reinforcements, I went through an entire box...that's right four magic erasers and that's not all Chris bought me all the boxes that were left and I went through one more Heavy Duty one and 2 more regular ones. It's crazy to think that I forgot how wonderful they are. I felt so satisfied when I was done, I finally felt like I could sit and relax without thinking about the baseboards needing attention or that the floor just never shined like I wanted it to. Needless to say I was reunited with a old friend and it defiantly felt so good!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVbEhZOwq5w0bpWLXcPuMdUViZa_rTC0SfeQAFleCtD6KGJNzbCY1h2wAQYKshqjTHZD4kSn9X_pIHTzwy6F07dV4T1XHzt2k4nP1pLzRgUZdxyEBER6L4i0yqWk44yc4rPWcP1vQu8TtK/s1600-h/mop.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 238px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVbEhZOwq5w0bpWLXcPuMdUViZa_rTC0SfeQAFleCtD6KGJNzbCY1h2wAQYKshqjTHZD4kSn9X_pIHTzwy6F07dV4T1XHzt2k4nP1pLzRgUZdxyEBER6L4i0yqWk44yc4rPWcP1vQu8TtK/s320/mop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314342074404356482" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWhj9-94zogHsOIIvhff5iwyuVuhypYueVS8Hpp0h4CySl08s5KTlfiU764R3nnlgt5yWu_TIUDySvAFV16nkfDyJywYUBTz4LZAVcAT9NQOJTkKDJMDmeUru2Uql7DbJNG2zhgZqGq7K/s1600-h/Mr.+Clean.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWhj9-94zogHsOIIvhff5iwyuVuhypYueVS8Hpp0h4CySl08s5KTlfiU764R3nnlgt5yWu_TIUDySvAFV16nkfDyJywYUBTz4LZAVcAT9NQOJTkKDJMDmeUru2Uql7DbJNG2zhgZqGq7K/s320/Mr.+Clean.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314342069403825314" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Carree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726693978786237943.post-8849022299471538742009-03-03T21:11:00.000-08:002009-03-03T21:34:08.122-08:00blah, blah, blah.Life around here has been cra-za-y the last couple of weeks, it seems like I never have time to post anything :( <br /><br />Over the weekend we traveled down to St. George for my neice, Alli's baptism. It was such a special couple of days. My neice is an old soul, at times she seems to understand things way beyond her years, and the gospel is one of them. It was a very Special weekend for all of us to see her make the right desicion. I was extremly happy we were able to drive down, but it seemed wayyyy to short, a day and a half is never long enough.<br /><br />Other than that we are just really busy with work and Chris with school, our life is just not that exciting these days...about the most exciting thing that happens here is the weekly episodes of Lost and 24. We are such dorks...hahaCarree Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04558070127637225984noreply@blogger.com2
