9 years later...

Mike and I just celebrated our 9 year anniversary!

I started looking around the house at what else has lasted that long.

This fish vase, that Mike loved, I hated, but have learned to love it because he does. We had registered for it at Pier 1, but didn't receive it as a wedding gift so I bought it for him soon after we were married.
These were flowers from our reception too.

This lamp was a wedding gift from my brother's girlfriend, who is now his wife, Tamara my brother doesn't think he got us a gift. The mirror, which we promptly broke and have yet to fix in 9 years was a wedding gift from one of Mike's best friends from high school, Easy Weez.

These are the last remaining glasses from a set of 8 that my mom bought us, the knife block and some of the knives are orginials from the Ainsworths, and the spice rack was a gift from the single gals from MCC 2nd ward.
This was my birthday gift from Mike 5 days after we were married. It's the best thing that's lasted in the house after 9 long years.

When I grow up...

These are all cooky pictures of MilaBelle deciding what she wants to be when she grows up. Maybe a...

A Mohawk comedian?

A makeup arist? A Rock Star?

A Mommy?

A Singer?

A CEO?

Or Just Rely on her looks and go for a Super Model?

First Field Trip

Chandler Recycle Center - The Environmental education center was Hendrix's first field trip of preschool. I got a sitter for MilaBelle (thanks Mary!) and so it could be just him and me, which was perfect. I realized Hendrix never gets Mommy time, there's always a little person following us around. We played in the rocks with sticks...

Saw aweomse spiders and snakes...Made new friends to throw rocks in the water with...


And of course recycled! Did you know slinky's are made from soup cans. Also it takes over 1,000 milk jugs to make a park bench. Don't put plastic bags in your recycle can, it wraps around the machine and slows the system, instead reuse them to store wet or dirty clothes and diapers, then recycle them at the grocery store, they do it differently, Better yet, don't use them at all, get some reuseable canvas bags.
(That's my soap box today)

Hendrix had a great time though, he's gonna be an environmentalist like his daddy.

What's New With the Britts...

Editing at the Britts, so I am always singing around the house, and Hendrix loves Rockstar by Pink. The first few lines if you haven't heard them go "I guess I just lost my husband, I don't know where he went. I'm gonna drink my money, I'm not gonna pay his rent." You really don't think you're kids are listening until the other day, I can't find my wallet.
Me: Hendrix, where's my money?
Hendrix: Maybe you drank it mommy.
Great, I hope he doesn't tell his teacher his mommy drinks her money.

Also, Hendrix said his first curse word. He made a mess in the kitchen (nothing unusually) and said "oh, crap", but not crap the other word, the "sh" word, the word I never use and have heard Mike use it once two months ago when he crashed into a snow bank in WA. Could Hendrix have remembered clear back from then. No, but he has been in preschool a while now, so he may be learning new things. I asked him where he heard that word.
Hendrix: I don't know, but when you drop something you say it.
