Joe never ceases to amaze me.
i know...my blog is slowly turning into "my husband joe".

but.

He never ever complains.

What would he have to complain about right?

He has a super awesome wife, who does everything right...
A really huge, always clean house...
A perfectly good truck whose tires never fall off...with great AC...
a really good cook to prepare is food...
super easy job...

haha... this list makes me giggle!

Really though, he never complains.
And I was thinking to myself today, I always complain...
I am sorry Joe. I will do better. I will...
The sad part is that my complaints are retarded...

You know its bad when you start to annoy yourself.

So here is to a "try really hard not to complain" new me.

love you jo jo

i am a helpless...

when i read, i read to enjoy the book...
who doesn't?
so why should i change the type of books i read if they make me feel good?

i am indeed a helpless romantic.

Joe told me i need to start reading books with real life everyday happenings in them. (to learn more)
I don't want to.

I get enough real life everyday.
reading is my escape.
a peaceful place. a romantic love story. (in my case of books)

i like cheesy. i like obvious stories. i like love.
whats wrong with that Joe?
i think you like that i like love:)

so i will continue to keep reading my romantic love stories...
and i will continue to keep my head in the clouds.
because i love love.
and because my books remind me of this.



and this...


the love in my own life.

r.r.r.random

i know i know. i know.
i havn't posted anything in a while because i have been extremely busy!
busy having fun
last last weekend we went to lake powell and had a great time with my family and sweet little Ryah. She loved the water and loved the sand. It was fun to see her love the lake so much. Joe was able to fish, wake board, tube, and swim with his lovely wife. :) I was able to knee board.( a personal favorite) wake board, and swim with my lovely husband. I was a little worried about the little one growing inside me so i took it very easy and didn't try anything tricky. I don't have any pictures because my camera ran out of battries.. soo sorry, but look at Krista's blog or Tarrah's blog if you want pictures. It was so nice to see aunt kim and her family, uncle steve, g-ma and g-pa montgomery, my cousin jermey, and shauna and her family, whom I never ever get to see, so it was so nice to see them.

and so this last weekend, we went to Las Vegas.
Joe got invited to go play in a flag football tournament...so we decided to do it.
Get all the fun in while we can right?
So we packed up and left Friday morning Ryah, Joe and I...
checked into our hotel and then went on our way to the field Joe was playing at.

ANYWAY...Joe played awesome, he is amazing.
butttttt his team- mates... had a rough time
PROBABLY because they were all hung over and stayed up all night/morning gambling.
lame-o
those ding dims.

double elimination, they lost out the first two games, the QB never showed, and it was just a mess.
Poor Joe played so hard, and his team was all losers and gave up. oh well. we had the rest of the weekend to relax and enjoy stinky vegas.

Yeah we weren't the biggest fans. We stayed in our hotel most of the time because it was hot outside, and when we did go outside we went to the strip and everyone was dressed all nasty and the streets smelt funny and naughty pictures everywhere. and poor ryah so innocent i felt so bad stolling her along. but we did have fun. The best part was an indoor swap meet we found... haha we talked to some crazy people there and had fun.

of course joe makes everything fun. so it all ended up being a great trip. i wouldn't exactly take my family there ever agian, but we made the best of what we could. anyway we are home now, loving it.

Then yesterday we went to Krista's house for Sunday dinner. It was delicious! Thanks Kris you da b omb. so Here is a pic Krista took for me and sent my way. ENJOY.

If i were a deer head, I would want to be ridden

this girl here. is her daddy's daughter.

She la la la loves this deer head for some weird reason.
We took her to bass pro and she loved all the heads and animals and wanted to give them kisses.
soooo joe decides to come home and put up his deer head.
when he took it down(from storage) she instantly climbed on the head and started "riding" it. (pic 1)
Then as he put it up she got so sad. (pic 2)
Joe then, being the good dad he is, lifts her up to see it and she starts giving it kisses! (pic 3)
She doesn't even give joe and i kisses.

she is an animal lover. . .
a sweet sweet animal lover.

it seems like she would be scared of it? guess not.

anyway.... some other good news.
-Joe got to feel the baby last night for the first time.
it was so exciting!

-Ryah has been walking for some time now, but yes...shes walking
-Ryah is also completely off bottles! YAY!! (she did really well)

-I am starting to get a belly, and big boobs..(very uncomfortable)
-Tomorrow we are off to Lake Powell
and

-I am 19 weeks Pregnant Today!
