seriously do I have a blog...

Okay I realize I have some serious catching up to do! So here is a start Charlie's first birthday!

Sad! No smashed cake! This is a dirty as he got! Why?

He just liked the little balls of rolled fondant!

Thanks For the super awesome cake Christie!

Twins... born 12 years apart.. to different mothers.

Yes, I know what you are thinking...these two lovely girls must obviously be twins. Obviously. Alas, we are not. To the bottom left is moi (Amy) in my earlier years. and to the top right, as y'all know, is Xadi- today. We sort of have the same hair color? Maybe. But we are soul sisters despite our un-realistic twin-ness. Duh.

Today Xadi, Lil' Man, and I hung out. We played red light green light, (red=stop. green=go. yellow=GO FASTER!)And we read an inspiring book about mommies and another book about a witch who I think makes pumpkin pie (yum) but unfortunately we did not get to finish.

And then Elle (or Sister HT) came home early from a short shopping trip to smiths. We sat and talked and laughed (the laughing was 89% Xadi on a non-sugar high.) Xadi ate pudding. And then, we decided with our wise wisdom to go get ice cream.

I drove.(Don't worry, Elle was directing me)

We are alive.

Then we ate lemon and chocolate ice cream while discussing deep topics such as shiny cars, harry potter, ice cream, and napkin holder toys.

Happy day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,

Amy Jo. :) 

Little Red Riding Hood

Last Saturday I did my 58 Miles around Cache County- DeAnne I really saw and appreciated the beauty of it up there...

The ride was wonderful! I had so much fun with my Biker Chicks! My only disappointment is with all that training my baby muffin top did not go away, so back to the no sugar low carb life for me:( My friend Kelly captured the day beautifully here is a link to her blog. Or Sharie's face book posts- Yes she did it while she was riding and she worries about me going fast down hills.

Sue was praying for me and her prayers are usually answered. I had beautiful cloud cover all day and an injury free ride- Thanks Mom! 

Dave was working- so my wonderful sister watched my kids all day! So nice I didn't have to worry about them at all! 

Great ride...

I just had to post what a great ride I had today. I went all the way out on legacy- beautiful ride! I kept me pace at 17.5 miles an hour with a few sprints of 22! Quite proud of myself! Then I rode up through the cities and up the hill home. Thirty miles in a little over two hours. I think I may just be ready for my 60 miles the first part of June! (and maybe get rid of the last of the baby weight- arg!)

Explanations

You may have noticed my lack of postings lately. Maybe you've wondered why? Well there is going to be a death in the family soon... Yep My computer is dying!!!! I can't post pictures so I'll do a few posts that I've been working on without them! Sorry!

Wise Words from Xadi

Hello! This is Amy again! (Xadi and Charlie's soul sister). I thought y'all would get a kick out of these Xadi quotes:

• I was trying to get Xadi to clean up and finally asked her "What would Jesus do?" and after some contemplating, she responded "He would probably just go back to Heaven."
• So then I tried to clear things up and say "But if someone asked him to put away the books, what would he do?" and after more thinking she replied "Well... he's sorta a big guy, I mean, he doesn't need to read anyways, right?"

This is why I LOVE hanging out with Little Man and Xadi! 

Cheerio!

Love Amy

She's country...

(now imagine a really cute picture of Xadi in Daddy's cowboy hat and Mama's boots)

My times have changed from: the 15 years ago when I met Davi, the 13 years ago he got down on one knee, and 11 years ago we were sealed (or as Xadi calls it "skilled" which works too) in the temple. All though those times we were rockin' the indy scene pretty hard- going to shows every weekend, going to Vegas and NY to see some of our fav bands, wearing hip clothes, hanging out with the coolest people like N'spence (thought you'd like that that Spencer) and the Falcon...

So now where do you find us? Well for our anniversary we rocked it to a show- Jason Aldean at Energy Solutions. Oh how times have changed! We'd never think of going to an arena show- the Beastie Boys at Salt Air was about as big as it got- well except for Neil and Kiss- but that was a rare exception. Last night with duckets and sitter we spent $100(at least it's tax deductible- yea we never would have thought of that either)! If a show was $15 we'd wonder if it was worth it! The final irony it was (now this is painful for me to admit people-) it was country! (Another time I'll have to write another post of how Davi got into country, it's a pretty good story.) We saw the Falcon there- he was working- I think he about passed out when he saw us! We went from him rocking our weekends face to face without a care in the world to sitting in an arena with thousands of screaming fans thinking of our cute kiddies in bed at home! 

Oh Babe my have times changed! I'm glad they have changed with you! Thank you for pursuing me and knowing I was the one! I love you more and more as every year goes by!
