Things I won't do when I have kids...

• Put them in those squeaky shoes. They're pretty dang cute, but I don't want someone to have to smack my child when she's running around the store.
• Get a minivan. I already told my sister she could smack me if I did.
• Walk around the store, mall, airport or zoo with my kid on one of those child leashes.  When I was little I used to think, "Why hasn't my mom ever put one of those cool kids leashes on me?" I now know it's because she loves me.

Let's be honest here... is this really necessary?

• Have a "baby on board" sign. That's just not happening... what are those even about?
• Wear a shirt that says "kiss me I'm pregnant," "bun in the oven" or any of that nonsense. I would say the belly is enough to make it obvious that you're pregnant.
• On that note... I won't be putting my baby in shirts with stupid sayings like, "If you think I'm cute, you should see my mom." And they won't be wearing any BYU attire either, that's just about as bad. Sorry Clint, but it's for the best for our children.
• And lastly... you know those professional maternity pictures people get with their naked bellies? And you know when they put them up for the world to see on facebook or their blog? That will definitely not be me. Sorry but those just creep me right out. That's something you and your husband should appreciate.. Not your co-workers and boss that you're friends with on facebook.

I think that's about it on my parenting list. I would put my signature on the bottom if I could, so that it could be a contract that I was legally bound to. So instead I hope that anyone that reads this will just hold me to it. Especially the leash thing. Free the whales leash kids.

There's no place like home...

We've been home for about a month and a half and between school, work, and moving everything back in, we've stayed super busy!

The drive home was a long one- 23 hours. But Clint decided he wanted to drive the entire way. I wasn't going to argue with that, I hate driving and I didn't honestly think he would do it. But he did, and his reasoning was "Who can say they've driven 23 hours straight?" Ok, go get 'em buddy. Go get 'em.

Summer sales with APX was an awesome experience for both of us. We met some fun, new people and I loved learning new things from all the wives out there and being around their cute kids. We were also able to experience living in a different state, with different people. It's amazing how different it was from Utah. I've never realized how much I love this place until I left it for a few months. We were both so glad to be back in air that we could breathe in and where the humidity wasn't so intense that when you would breathe, you would blow out water bubbles instead of air. Not to mention, the Utah mountains have never been so beautiful :]

We recently got back from a trip to Lake Powell with our whole APX region. It was such a blast! We had 3 houseboats, some speedboats, tubes, wakeboards.. all that good stuff. They also hired chefs to cater the whole trip which was awesome. They took good care of us and it was so fun to meet all of the other people in our region. We got to do a lot of fun things like cliff jumping, camp fires and of course tubing and wakeboarding. Awesome trip with some awesome people.

I love this picture. He looks like such a little kid.

Can you believe that?!

Jord and I being buried

That's a lot of man on one tube I'd say

Some of the girls

I didn't even fall out on that one! It's so funny to watch the difference between girls and guys tubing. If one of us was falling out, we would all scream and try to grab her. With the guys, they cheered and tried to push each other off.

Boat ride

Girls again!

Look at that cheeseball

Haha I love this picture

We have a year end party this coming weekend, and they hired the whole Nitro Circus gang to come. I'm pretty excited for that, so I'm sure pictures will come :]
