Nonsense Really

So this post is just me venting and going on about nonsense, nothing exciting. So last Wednesday Matthew went in for surgery on his ever growing egg size hernia. He has had this thing since before his mission. We tried to get it fixed a couple years ago, but the Dr. he went to didn't think it was a big deal. It's just gotten even more annoying for him so we really wanted to get it taken care of. I wish we would've been more prepared for what his recovery was going to entail but oh well. This is my second surgery with Matt since we've been married, so I told him this is it for awhile. So I've been taking care of "two babies", the doctor's words, not mine for the past week. It's made me appreciate Matt even more for the help he is to me. Jayden has been especially clingy since going into nursery. He hasn't been sleeping, eating, and won't let me leave his side. So I've had a few melt downs feeling like a single parent but luckily I know it's only for a short time. Before Matt scheduled his surgery some of my friends and I had planned to go see the midnight showing of Twilight. Matt wanted me to still go and so luckily his sister was able to come over for a few hours and help him out. Thank you so much Christina. I needed the break so badly. So Erica Diane, Terra Marcella, Micah Marie and I all went to the show. I have been looking forward to this for a very long time. I knew the movie wasn't going to be nearly as good as the book, but I at least wanted to be entertained. For those of you who enjoyed the movie, I'm glad. I however was so disappointed. I wasn't expecting it to be that cheesy. I'm glad to say it was worth it though. I got to spend hours and hours with my friends and we got to visit. I always feel like I'm 19 but being there somehow made me feel younger and older at the same time. There were so many goo goo gaa gaa girls and it made me wonder how I would've reacted at that age to all of this Twilight business. We got to catch up and laugh and talk about Edward and other STUFF. I'm so proud of Erica because she's been reading it. So it took me a couple of days to recover from the no sleep of that night and of previous nights but I think I'm almost caught up.
Jayden is getting back on schedule and is still loving to be outside. Yesterday he was playing and comes back in the house with a pin in between his teeth. He didn't want to relinquish it but oh I got it. I was completely grossed out and worrying about any diseases he might catch. He finds the weirdest things out there.
One of the highlights of the past week though has been my knives. Since we've been married I've had these stinky knives from Walmart. After almost cutting my fingers off time and time again, we decided it was time. I hate to spend money and Matt loves to spend money so we finally came to a decision. They are no Wusthof but I really do love them.

Fall or Summer

Has anyone else noticed what kind of weather we've been having. It's beautiful out. Yesterday I was outside with Jayden, in my swimsuit cover up, trying to get a tan(one of my favorite things to do). I was literally sweating it was so nice. Today we went out again and it seriously seems like May. Is Thanksgiving really almost a week away.
Jayden loves to be outside. One of the downfalls about living on campus is that we really don't have a yard Jayden can play in. I have the sweetest little boy though and he'll take what he can get.
I've been yard saleing(sic) lately and we found a cheap sandbox. Normally I would never buy one, but because Jayden can't play in the dirt(there is supposedly lead in the ground because of the army) and since we can throw it out and not feel bad for spending a lot of money on it, we had to get it. My wonderful Dad brought down fresh Brimhall Sand & Rock sand to make it complete. He loves it. He can really stay out there for hours.
And to top it all off my Gerber Daisies are doing wonderful. I haven't killed them yet and for that I am proud. Only a few have fallen to the plucking of little boys. Happy Spring I mean Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

So I had Matt do it too. I knew who he was gonna be, isn't that funny. He wanted to go back and see if he could change it, but then I told him how cool Carlisle was so he was okay with it. 8 more days

I saw this on someones blog and I wanted to know what vampire I would be. Most of you if not everyone is going think I'm really weird for doing this, but I don't care. Twilight comes out in 8 days and I'm getting really excited. Here's why I'm Esme...
You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things. Not too bad eh.

We're Pooped

So these past few days have been so fun, but so exhausting. We got to go to a Suns game with our friends on Thursday night. We really enjoyed ourselves and our section won $5 cards from Jack in the Box. I was ecstatic because I never win anything. Our Suns lost but it was still a treat to get to go. It's such an ugly picture I know but it's a memory.
Then we woke up super early after getting to bed super late. My parents came down early that morning and we got to spend the day with them playing at the mall, eating, and just having fun. Our Halloween night was kind of lame, but we won't say why. I felt bad for My Mom because she even got dressed up. It was probably the most uneventful night ever.
Then on Saturday we woke up extremely early for our big race. Matthew did a triathlon and I did my first duathlon. For those of you who really know me, you know how much I have always hated to run. I used to have the excuse that it hurt my chest (I used to have somewhat of a chest, not anymore thanks to nursing for a year), but now I don't have that excuse. Matt improved his time from last year, and I was just happy to finish without wrecking my bike, vomiting on the side, or getting lost. I really did enjoy it. It was so fulfilling to push myself through something. I kept saying if I can have a baby without an epidural, I can surely run for a while. Then when I was worried about not doing good enough I just thought to myself, "My Mom is going to be proud of me no matter what time I get".
Then we spent more time with my parents after and that is always fun. My Dad got a new hat which he is so proud of and he even said next year he'll do the race too. Man are we tired.
