like kyle said in his post, michelle went through the temple today. yesterday she took her bridal portraits and in two days she will be mrs. woodbury! it has been so much fun to watch her t
ake the same steps that i took (last year!) i wish i would've recorded more of my thoughts and memories down at that time, but seeing her getting ready has helped to jog my memory. she made fun of some of the things kyle and i did and it's funny how i see her doing similar things all the time. the other day i asked my mom if i talked to kyle funny when we were engaged, and she said that i did (although i have no recollection). side note: i was reading another blog, and a girl said that her and her husband have their own language that they communicate in. her psychology teacher told her that most married couples have their own baby language! how funny. coincidentally, kyle and i have a language all our own that i implemented not too long after we were married. i thought we were the only ones!! do any of you do that? what cute things do you do? in mckay language you = yous; kyle = kyles kay; i'm = in's; brittney = bwittney just to name a few. i love it.jen and i are having a contest to get to our ideal weight by june 1st. i am really excited and so far have lost weight and gained it back, lost, gained, etc. so even though i am not doing particularly well right now, i am better than when i started and hope to get even better. i just got new running shoes and can't wait to try them.
so like kyle said in his post, pete's was good, but not good enough to break tradition. maybe we like pizza mart the way mccleve's love pete's because they are traditions. my dad got bummed that he couldn't go (he has been going since he was a kid). but ever since the heart attack in december, he has been watching what he eats and exercising. last i heard, he lost 55 lbs and had 55lbs more to go. his goal is to weigh 185 i think, his post mission weight. he looks amazing. for my wedding he got new teeth, and for michelle's he is losing weight. what will he do next?!
my mothers day was amazing. i literally have the best husband ever. saturday night he stayed up until two forty working on my present. even though he went to bed so late, he got up early to take care of addison (who woke at 6:30) so that i could sleep in ... yummy sleep. he then made my breakfast of choice - grandma brown's whole wheat pancakes with fruit toppings. on my plate was my gift. first i saw my card. on the outside he wrote about 15 adjectives that he thought described me, telling me how much he loved me! on the card was a sweet four stanza mother's day poem (i didn't realize until later in the day that the poem was one that he had written for me. this is the reason he was up until 2:30 a.m.) i looked into my gift bag and pulled out a steel stapler. i thought it looked like a really nice stapler but couldn't understand why he chose to give this to me. then lauren said, "you can't give her our stapler!" then i understood. the stapler was just a paper weight, i looked back into the bag and noticed a folded paper. i unfolded it and read. "let's have a WICKED time!" oh my heck, he is taking me to see the musical wicked!!! isn't he sweet? ladies, eat your heart out! don't be jealous i snagged him first! the rest of the day he wouldn't let me lift a finger. he is so good to me!
i have been thinking about father's day for a while, but after mother's day, i want to make his first father's day awesome. can anyone help give me ideas? i'm not good at these things. i'm not trying to out-do him, i just want to make his day as special as he made mine.
addison is growing up so much!! she will stand for long periods of time and loves to work out her legs. she talks to everyone and always has a smile ready. she is still in the 90 percentile for height and weight. she loves to sleep with her hands above her head and has became quite the little Houdini when she gets wrapped for bed. she went swimming for the first time on saturday. it took her a while to get used to the idea of a cold bath, but once she got used to the temperature, she loved daddy flying her around everywhere. oh, and the 12 month swimsuit i bought her fits - at eleven weeks! she has what has been lovingly nicknamed a "budda belly". she laughs more often, so far, kinsey can get her to laugh the quickest by making faces and talking to her. drooling is the new thing. addison holds her head up better than most four month olds. she is amazingly so strong. she recognizes mommy (since about 5 - 6 weeks) and greets m
e with a smile. she falls asleep in the shower. i guess it's just so relaxing to be cuddled and have warm water running over you. she knows what a "baba" or "bobs" is. (that's bottle for those of you that don't speak baby). she squeals when she is set down or when she is left alone, and loves people. she has rolled over three times. she still has reflux, and as a result, still throws up - even with medicine. when this happens, she just smiles at me. so sweet.the other day she threw up in the car seat and before i could take her out and clean up she also exploded out her pants. i think she understands that when she does one of these, she gets treated to a bath. there is no limit on how many baths you can have in one day. right now she is working on seven.
thank you to all those who have visited my photography blog. set up a time with me for free pics thru september. tell all your friends. i have posted a few recent shoots and will continue so visit frequently!
