Sugar and Spice and Everything Messy

Grandma Owings came up to spend Christmas with us this year. She brought sugar cookies for us to decorate. We had tons of fun!!! (yes, Remy is in his underwear...apparently he is more cookie creative that way)

In 1996 when I was graduating from high school I went to the local car dealership and bought my very first car...a 1991 Chevy Cavalier. I went to CEU with that car, she went with me to BYU, she went to the Bountiful Temple to get married with us, she took Darrin to and from work for many years after. She has been a good car! After 173,000 miles, 11 years, a new engine, brakes, clutch, a couple of starters and alternators, she finally gets to retire! Go Chevy!

We purchased a 2008 Chevy Impala last week due to the retirement of our Cavalier. We got a great deal on it. It was part of the Chevy car show tour so it was considered used so we got a used price on it, even though it was technically still new. Chevy now has a 100,000 mile/5 year warranty on all new 08's so we are looking forward to another 173,000 miles and 11 years!

AAAAaaarrrggghhh!

WHY are toddlers SOOOooooo...stubborn? I am sitting here listening to my Tate scream his little heart out (has been for the last 60 minutes!!!). He has started not wanting to go to sleep unless someone is standing by his crib and waking up many times thru the night and not going back to sleep unless....you guessed it....someone is standing by his crib. So, I just decided to put him down for a nap and let him "cry it out" because I just don't know what else to do!!!! I honestly don't ever think he is going to stop. Remy was never this stubborn when it came to going to sleep. Why don't they just do what is best for them???
