My new obsession

Ok, last Friday, Josh and I went to dinner and then stopped by Barnes and Noble. While there, I found the book Twilight. I remember my dear friend Tatum recommending it to me, and also this summer my sister Karlee also did. I have to admit, I haven't been much of a reader since I had Taeler, lack of time I guess. I read the back, and I started laughing because it kinda sounded cheezy. But, I got it anyway cuz it was only $8.99. I started reading Saturday when Taeler and Josh took a nap, yes, I probably should have been resting myself, but I couldn't put the book down. Let's just say I read the whole book in two days. It is REALLY GOOD! Yes, it is about vampires, but I promise you will fall in love with the characters, being that it is a romantic book, and yes very clean! So, Monday I went to purchase New Moon, the 2nd book in the series! I had to find out what happens! And yes, I read the whole book in less than two days! Lucky for me, the 3rd book comes out on Aug. 7th, so I don't have to wait long. Now, Tatum thinks I'm a huge nerd, and I have to agree, but I promise if you read them, you will love them. If you haven't already, apparently I'm behind on the popular books to read! Well, let me know if anyone decides to read them.

My beautiful little girl

On Saturday night, Josh fell asleep at 8:00, long before Taeler and I. That is what 3rd year has done to him. Anyway, Taeler and I were pretty bored. She had just gotten out of the tub and was watching Snow White. I asked if she wanted to put curlers in her hair. She was like "Sure mom!" So, I put those little pink sponge curlers in like my mom used to put in my hair. I know most of you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, when I got done she went to the bathroom to look at herself and almost pee'd her pants laughing so hard! In the morning, I took the curlers out and it was so curly. So, I just put a flower barrette in to match her dress. Josh thought she looked so cute, so he got the camera out. We are quite the proud parents I guess.

Taeler's B-day

On Saturday night we decided to meet some of our friends at the park. I brought cupcakes for the kids to eat, supposedly for Taeler's b-day. She wouldn't stop bugging me about a party, so this was her party! She had a lot of fun! Thanks to those who came, sorry it was so last minute!

Taeler's 3rd birthday

Well, yesterday was Taeler's b-day! When she woke up in the morning, she goes "mom, where's my cake?" I felt bad cuz I hadn't even bought the ingredients yet! When I asked her what she wanted to do for the day, she said "I just want to go feed the ducks." So, that's what we did! For, lunch I asked her where she wanted to go. I thought she would say MacDonalds or Wendy's, but instead she said "Bumblebee's", she meant Applebee's! She loved having the people clap their hands and sing to her! Happy Birthday Taeler!

American Idol Concert

On Tuesday night, my mother in law and sister in law took me to the American Idol concert tour in San Jose. It was really fun! We had pretty good seats. My favorite was Blake. Him and Chris did a duet where they sang a Jason Mraz song. It was cool! Thanks Becky for the fun night!

Clark Family Reunion

We went to Heritage Park on Saturday for the Family Reunion. It was alot of fun to see cousins and family I hadn't seen in awhile. It was blazing hot, which is why Taeler stripped down to her underwear. My grandpa put a bunch of money in a bucket with sawdust, so the little kids could reach in and try to find it! Taeler didn't really like it cuz the sawdust stuck to her hands, so she probably got the least amount of money out of everyone. All in all, it was a pretty fun day! Thank you grandma and grandpa for helping us get there! We love you!

Salt Lake Zoo

Taeler and I were able to go up to Utah and spend some time with my grandparents and my family who were all up there for our family reunion. My parents took Taeler to the zoo one day! Of course Taeler absolutely loved it! She had fun with my parents, and also Tait and Sydney! My only complaint was that it was 102 degrees, way to hot for Utah!

Fun in the Sun!

One of the last days of summer vacation, some of the families decided to go to Stinson Beach because it was supposed to be really warm. It was a beautiful, sunny day. We had so much fun relaxing, watching the kids play, and watching all the husbands get in the freezing water! I hope there are many more fun days like these before we graduate.

The Marin County Fair

Last week, we decided to go to the Marin County Fair! We have lived here for 2 years and never gone, so the Carpenters went with us. For those of you who haven't been, it's pretty much what you would expect. Expensive admission, greasy food, old rides, way to crowded, and of course we went on the hottest day possible. But, we still had fun. Taeler and Hadley went on lots of rides. They had a blast. Josh and Curt even went on the Zipper and about died. Carlee and I just walked around with our big bellies. The best part of the night was the fireworks show, which was actually a pretty good show!
