There's no people like these people!!!

I love people.

I especially love it when I have people who love me around.

Like, for instance, all my family here who just love being with me. And the extended family, my grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles who I just love to see. And talk to! And also those people from church! All the people I grew up with and know so well.

I love seeing all these people again.

I love catching up and just chatting the day away.

I love having people to hang out with all the time.

I love not being alone.

Can you see the faces?

California

We are here, in the land of sunshine. Now, some may argue (particularly my sisters in Hawaii), but I have to say that California IS the land of sun. It's the middle of february and we were out working on our tan this afternoon. How I have missed this. It's been storming in Idaho and we just beat a huge one last weekend that would have had us snowed in.

So why are down here, again? Well, unfortunately, it's not for fun or sun. Well, it is for me. But we aren't here on a lovely holiday (that was last month), this trip is business. Logan is working for his brother for two weeks while the person he hired to replace Logan when we moved is down in Mexico. Basically we're here to make us some money to keep us afloat for a little while we look for jobs.

Piper's favorite movie is Mamma Mia! and we watch it between 2 and 5 times a day. So isn't it strange that I still love the songs? I do. I listen to them and sing them all the time. Piper loves it. She claps for me. She's growing so fast!!! She crawls real crawling now. And she claps and waves. And talks, though she doesn't know what she's saying. She says mama and dada and nana. We've decided that since she started this nana thing while we're here that she's saying grandma, so that will be my mom's nickname.

I don't think I've told people, but I've been writing a book. It's taking over my brain. Everytime I am watching a movie or listening to music or knit, or change a diaper, or update my blog, or read a book, or anything really, my thoughts are hijacked by my plot. I only hope that something will come of it.

Happy Baby

Oh my dearie me

So it's february, still winter right? So it's been hot and sunny... okay, it's been 40 outside, but it's been sunny everyday, and that's way hotter than the 20 that it's been.

So I was thinking oh yay, spring is on it's way.

This morning I woke up to a snow flurry. That hasn't stopped all day. And it's sticking!

So disappointed.

In other news, being a woman sucks, and I wish I didn't have to be. But I doubt being a boy would be any fun either. Gah.

Piper is little miss motor butt, and can't hold still to save her life. She doesn't even stay still while she's sleeping. Everytime she wake up from her nap, or I wake her up in the morning she's in a very different position than the one I laid her down in.

She is starting to learn words. Not saying them, but their meaning. She knows what no means and seems to take unholy delight in utterly ignoring us when we use it. She gives me that oh so innocent smile and I just know she's going to be an unholy terror. She'll probably have her daddy wrapped a around her finger and doing whatever she wants in no time flat. And me too probably. She's too darn cute.

A few words that I am particularly fond of (That don't actually exist):

Aquadextrous - Possessing the ability to turn the bathtub faucet on and off with your toes.

Burgacide - when a hamburger can't take any more torture and hurls itself through the grill into the coals

Disconfect - To sterilize the piece of candy you dropped on the floor by blowing on it, somehow assuming this will remove all the germs

Giraffiti - Vandalism spray painted very very high

Intaxication - the euphoria you feel at recieving your tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to begin with

Karmageddon - It's like, when everyone is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like the earth explodes and it's like a serious bummer ya know.

Phonesia - The affliction of dialing a phone number and fogeting who you were calling just as they answer.

Reintarnation - When you come back to life as a hillbilly

Sarchasm - the gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the recipient who doesn't get it.

Tatyr- A lecherous Mr. Potato Head

Telecrastination - The act of letting the phone ring at least twice before you pick it up, even if you're only 6 inches away.

Well have a wonderful day!!!!
