Last week I just had this feeling that I needed to teach Mylie how to call Jeff, just in case something ever happened at home to me, she would be able to get ahold of him. He is on the speed dial on my cell phone, so we practiced and practiced holding down the #3 until it beeped so it would call Daddy. Well now she wants to call him constantly and I have to remind her that he is at work and we can't just call him all day. The other morning I am in the shower (heaven forbid I actually take a shower) and I get out and Mylie is sitting on my bed on the phone with Jeff. After I take the phone away she tells me that she called Grandma too, because she is #2. Well #2 is our house phone, and sure enough, there was Mylie on the answering machine leaving a message. I laughed and didn't think much more of it.
Fast forward to this morning, at breakfast with Jeff's parents. Mary asks me if Mylie told me that she called her the other morning. Apparently this is how their conversation went:
Mylie: Hi Grandma.
Grandma: Hi Mylie. What are you doing?
Mylie: I'm supposed to be watching Spongebob, but my Mommy is in the shower so I am on her cell phone.
Grandma: Oh. Where is Blake?
Mylie: He's on the purple pillow (boppy), I'm not supposed to jump on him.
And apparently the conversation continued, because when I went through my calls, it was over a 4 minute call. I seriously cannot figure this out. Their number is programed into my phone, but isn't on speed dial. I have no clue how she called them. So I guess instead of worrying about if Mylie would be able to get ahold of Jeff if something happened at home, I should worry about the fact that everyone on my cell phone would know about it! What a kid!

Grandma's birthday
Jeff's mom's birthday was this week and we are going out to breakfast with them tomorrow. I finished her present tonight (because I truly am a procrastinator). Anyway, I just thought it was cute and wanted to share. They are stepping stones for her garden ... aren't they cute? It is also very true!
"Hey Bubba"
Bubba is what Mylie and I call Blake when we want to get a big smile from him. Works like a charm everytime!Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Things that happen at home while I am not there.
While I am at work tonight ...
- Mylie and Jeff are watching TV and LL Cool J comes on. Mylie says, "Whoa Dad, that guy must have to say 'welcome to the gun' show a lot."
- And apparently her new favorite show is Walker, Texas Ranger.
I am not making this stuff up!
Random things...
Finally everyone is feeling better, thankfully it was short lived and by the next day we were back to our regular routine. The only good thing about everyone being home sick was that Jeff finally got to watch "Enchanted" with Mylie and I. We watch it often, but he hadn't seen it yet. My favorite part ... when Gisele and Morgan go shopping and Morgan asks, "Is this what it is like to go shopping with your mother?" and Gisele says, "I don't know but I like it." No matter how many times we watch it, at this part Mylie snuggles up to me and says,"I love to go shopping with my mother!" So cute! Love this kid.
So some random things from the past few days ...
Mylie got her hair cut last week. She just got a couple inches trimmed. She was such a big girl during her haircut and of course, she looks so cute.
We are so ready for spring! We had a little teaser the other day, but it didn't stay. BUT it is supposed to be in the 60s this weekend and hit 70 on Sunday. Hallelujah! Mylie and I have been shopping for spring/summer clothes for her in hopes of it getting warmer. It is about time. She was wearing shorts by mid-March last year.
Now tell me whose little boy this is. Somedays I call Blake Jeff's little mini-me. There is a striking resemblance between the two. Lately Mylie has been qutie a Momma mini-me.
Stories: **The other day I am in the bathroom doing my hair and she is my room trying to entertain Blake for me. He was unhappy and kept spitting out his binky. Mylie says to him, "Blake! Heavenly Father gave you ears so you could listen. Now listen to me and keep your binky in!" I was laughing so hard!
**Yesterday I didn't have to work so we seriously had lazy day. Mylie, Blake and I just had a movie party. I had brought my laptop into the TV room so I could do some stuff (surf the Internet) while we were watching movies. Mylie promptly goes and gets her "computer" and lays on the couch and told me she was sending emails.
**She will sit there with her Dora cell phone pushing the buttons. When I ask her what she is doing, she tells me she is texting!
We had a nice lazy weekend with a soccer game on Saturday morning and then hanging out at home the rest of the weekend and watching Conference. It was a great time to be together as a family. Back in the swing of things today though (well as soon as I get off the computer and gt showered). I have to work today and Blake goes to Alicia's (daycare) for his first real day ... well actually half day. He has gone a couple times for an hour or so, but this will be his first chunk of time. I miss him already! I totally trust Alicia and know he'll be fine there, but it is hard to be away from a little baby. Sniff, sniff.

Big boy!
Blake had his two month appointment today (how did it get to be two months already?) He is doing great, healthy and happy. He weighs 13 lbs and 15 oz and is 23.75 inches long. (Apparently there is cream in these things.) He had to get 4 shots and 1 oral vaccination. I was remembering how at Mylie's first shots it was so sad and she had this heartbroken look on her face like "Momma, you are supposed to love me." Blake, on the other hand, simply got mad. His face got as red as a tomato, all scrunched up, screamed for about 30 seconds and then fell fast asleep and didn't stir for an hour. So funny!
No pictures today. I took a cute one on my cell phone and have a funny story about it ... I send out this picture from my cell phone to a couple people and Courtney texts me to see if I can send it again because it didn't go through. So I am scrolling through my pictures to get to it and there are 3 pictures of Blake from yesterday that I didn't take. Yes, Mylie can totally work the camera on my cell phone when I am not looking. Usually I just find random pictures of things on there, but it was so cute, pictures of her little brother.
On a not so cute note ... Mylie seems to finally be better, but now Jeff has what she had. He had to go into work for a few hours, but came shortly after and is still misreable. Blake has terrible diarhea, which happened too soon after his shots to be a side effect, so I think he has the stomach bug too. Likely I will get it tomorrow, when I am suppsed to be in Court. Isn't that how it works?
