If I post twice in a row about baby clothes does that make me TAMN?

This is the first baby-related thing I bought after our birth mom told us the good news:

I didn't know what a "sleep n' play" was, so I opened it. (They have feeties!) Que said "Are you sure he's going to fit in that?? If so, he's going to be small!" (Yeah, I know, we're rookies.)

Then Que's mom bought us this outfit:

Cute, right? (I love the dinosaur!)

Upon closer inspection you will find that the name of this particular brand of clothing is:

Is that just the most sweetest thing ever?? He will be seriously, so blessed for looking so great while riding our 4-willers! LOVE IT!

Blog lunches are awesome

Kristina and Jillybean and I went to Provo for the first one (which was so fun!). Then we went to the second one in Sandy (I love you guys!). But the best part was when Kristina gave me this for the baby:

Because really... what else is there?

On Notice/Dead to Me IV

It's that time again!

Welcome to the 4th edition of On Notice/Dead to Me! Check out previous editions by clicking the tag "Dead to Me" at the bottom of this post.

The following things are On Notice (meaning they are merely annoying but have the potential to become Dead to Me.):

1. The need for sign holders. I see them advertising for almost everything: cell phones, a new car wash, pizza, new homes... are we the public that easily fooled into thinking that because a live body is standing on a corner holding a sign, that that particular product is more exciting?

2. The [many!] girls that we saw hiking in Zion NP while wearing denium miniskirts. Why?!

3. The writers of The Office. I loved the first few episodes of last season (and I liked the last episode) but everything else left something to be desired.

4. American Idol. This past season was really lame. (And yet I watched.) Why would a show that is obsessed with all things "current and relevant" be trotting out music (and musicians) from the 1970s?

5. Hibiscus flower decals. Why do so many people have these on their cars? (And by "people" I mean "white girls driving cars with Utah plates.") Are these a symbol of a secret society? Maybe it is a symbol of BYU-Hawaii alum? Truly, I am perplexed and until I understand their meaning, they are officially On Notice.

The following things are Dead to Me:

1. Wheel of Fortune. This show is still on. Did you know that?!?! And I don't mean in syndication, they are still taping new episodes!

2. Turning 30.

3. Weeds. I'm tired of pulling weeds. It's a good thing that not only can they be figuratively Dead to Me, but literally as well.

4. Tyra Banks. I had to get a DVR just to enjoy ANTM. I love that fast forward button. All I watch now are photo reveals and the end of the judges' panel segment.

5. Robins. They eat my garden strawberries before I get the chance to. (Sometimes however Madison takes her duties as the Strawberry Patch Sentinel seriously and she keeps the birds away. (By eating them.))

Obligatory Post Script Confessional: I loved Stephen Colbert's "On Notice/Dead to Me" bit on The Colbert Report and lovingly ripped-it-off from him. I lovingly ripped-off the phrase "lovingly ripped-off" from Spamalot, which lovingly ripped-off its show from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Happy Birthday to Que!!

Happy 30th birthday, Que!

Now that we are both 30, you can now stop telling people your wife is a cougar.

For his birthday Que got a blackberry, new rims for his pony.... oh, and a baby. :) I think Que will be a wonderful dad. I feel this to the extent that I think Que is the Barack Obama of dads: Even though Que has not done anything officially as a dad, I think his face should be carved on the Mt. Rushmore of dads.

I know he'll be that good. :)

I have a suggestion to make

I suggest you check out my confession. Oh, and here you can read more of the story.

Best. Birthday. Ever

OK so it turns out that turning 30 has been the best birthday ever. Que's mom took me to get a pedicure, Que bought me a malt at Leatherby's, he got me a carrot cake (it says "Happy 20ish Birthday") and he made me dinner!


Oh yeah, and on a somewhat unrelated-yet-related note, I wanted to tell you this.
