Are you my Daddy?

We having fun at Grandma and Papa's house. Miranda is handling the new people really well. She was reserved the first day, but has warmed up since then. She seems to like playing with Ashlynn. Those two are cute together. We saw Lizzy last night too. She is so grown up! Lizzy and Miranda are almost the same size, but Lizzy just looks so grown up. She has lots of teeth and hair and is walking already. It's so cute!

Aunt Ginger did Miranda's hair for the first time yesterday. It was adorable! I will load some pictures as soon as I have them on the computer. I tried to do it this morning (after her bath), but I couldn't even get the elastic to go around twice. Those things don't stretch at all. I'll have to watch Aunt Ginger do it.

Daddy should be here tomorrow. We're excited to see him. Miranda keeps asking for him, "Dada? Dada?" It's sad. She misses her daddy.

That's ME!

I have some good news about Thanksgiving. I don't have to ride by myself! Julie and I are going to carpool. That's awesome! Miranda is a good girl, but I am pretty sure she'd put up a stink having to sit in the back seat by herself for 6 hours with nothing to do. Even she isn't THAT good. =) I think we'll be leaving Saturday but we aren't sure yet. Julie has something she might have to do for school. My boss already said it was ok for me to take the whole week off (as long as we don't get slammed in this next week).




I had to post this video of Miranda. She is looking in a mirror and at the end she points at the mirror and then herself. She does that when she knows something is her (reflections, pictures, etc). It's so cute! It is kinda low quality, but I took it with my cell phone. =)

Candy and Cake

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I'm really bad at keeping this blog up to date!Things have been crazy busy here. Gordon has been studying like mad. He has actually decided that he won't be able to come to Utah for Thanksgiving because he has so many tests and things to study for. =(


Here is a picture of Gordon, me and Miranda dressed as (young) Snape, Lily and the Golden Snitch. She wasn't thrilled about her costume. She felt like the little kid in A Christmas Story. She could barely move because it was so fluffy... poor thing. She didn't complain when she got to eat the candy though, figures!



And here's Miranda on her first birthday. Unhappy, yet again! HAHA She didn't like the cupcake because the frosting was sticking to her fingers. She wouldn't touch (or eat) it after that.

Birthday, Buck and a Baby

Hey, this is kind of funny. This is the story of what happened when Danny and Ginger had their baby. It's cute! I love watching it... I can see some of my family... =)

Hardy Family Pictures

Ok, so I'm not posting every day, but it's better than before... right? How do people think of stuff to write everyday? I guess we're just boring. Gordon has another big test next Monday. He is stressing, big time! He's already told me that he will be spending the entire weekend at school so he can get some "quality" study time. I even have Monday off work so he can study more. HAHA But, we are here for his schooling, not my work... so it's worth it.

We had some pictures taken with the Hardy family this last weekend. It was fun to get everyone together.

Hardy Family Fun

Mike, Bonnie & Shirley came to visit this weekend. They were on their way through to Mount Rushmore. It was a lot of fun to see everyone. We went to Cheyenne on Saturday to visit and have dinner. I believe Michael will be coming up later this week. So next weekend we should have the whole family.

10 years lost, 30 lbs found...

It has come to my attention that I am terrible at keeping up with the blog... Uh... didn't see that one coming! HAHA

Miranda is continuing to grow like a weed. She is almost 11 months old. Where did the time go?? Gordon and I have been busy with work and school. Gordon had two tests this week. He was really stressed about them because each was worth 1/3 of the class grade. That was fun. I've been going crazy at work. Things there have gotten a little better. We're starting to catch up (and that means were only a week behind instead of 2... j/k). Part of me can't wait until I'm a stay home mom, but I don't know how I will really handle it. I think I will get bored/depressed when I'm home all day. Don't get me wrong, I love Miranda! But sometimes you need to see friends and other adults.

I've just found out that we're having a 10 year class reunion next summer. I've offered to help put it together. I'm actually really excited, even though Gordon's didn't seem all that great. I wonder if ours will be like that. There wasn't much of a turn out at his, and the open bar just made all the non-drinkers pay for the drinkers' tabs. That kinda sucked. I'm hoping since it's in Utah that the open bar thing won't even be an issue. I guess I better start hitting the gym so I can feel good about myself for the reunion. I had a goal set to lose 15 lbs and I'm down 12 already. Only 3 more to go and then I've made my first goal. That feels good. It's been a long time since the scale has gone THAT direction. HAHA!
