Curtis Look-alike Meter

I don't know I think she looks more like Stu!

Caught em'

At 4:30 this morning we got a phone call from the Utah Highway Patrol asking if our car was still stolen, and of course Mark said yes then they call again at 5:30 am and said that the car was towed to Springville and that they arrested the two people that stole it. We are so happy they are behind bars!!! So we got are Suby back, but they had trashed the inside. They were smoking a crack pipe so it reeks inside, they put out their cigarettes on the back seat and burned it, they slashed three of the seat belts, cut our moon roof cover and bent it (it looks like they punched it). There where little cuts in the dashboard and center console and small chips in the paint all over the outside of the car. It is absolutely disgusting, stains, wrappers and stuff spilled everywhere. The way they were caught was they cut someone off down by Springville and hit them so the people in the other car call the cops. So the back bumper needs some work done to it also. Our poor Subaru that we have had for 11 months that didn't even have a door ding. Why are people so inconsiderate and stupid. Well, at least we got it back, hopefully they can and will fix everything and that they can get the smell out. There was no baby stuff in it, thank goodness, I wouldn't want it after that, I want all new. There were some nice golf clubs that were not ours, a camera, that may be ours that they used to take pictures of the girl behind the wheel of our stolen car (smart), and an ipod that they claim was the third persons, that some how got away, but I think it might be mine by the way the officer described it. Everything else is gone. There was also a curling iron, a check and a note written to an inmate with very poor grammar. Sounds like they were quite the couple. The girl that they arrested is the same girl they got on the security tapes using LaFaunda's credit card at Target. She is really busted! Thanks to everyone who was looking out for our car!

Our Mystery

My cute six year old niece Addie prayed last night that our mystery would be solved.

So cute! Thanks Addie!

Grrrrrrrr!!!

What a first Fathers day for Stuart! We woke up this morning to find that someone had broken in to our house while we were asleep in the basement, stolen my purse, my phone (so don't try to call me) 4 ipods, our camera, Lafaunda wallet, Mark's gold watch and worst of all OUR CAR! Yes our Subaru that is not even a year old yet! I hate thieves. Grrrrr! So we spent our morning with the Cottonwood Heights Police and all the credit card companys canceling our credit cards.

So, if any one happens to see a White Subaru Outback with a Tan Britax carseat in the back with the license plate number
B95 6BB
...please call the police. Thanks!

Happy Father's Day Stu! Thanks for being a wonderful husband and father. Sorry about the crappy Father's day! We love you!

11 months old!

Abby is 11 months old now! Once again I can't believe how fast time is flying bye! She is such a doll. I love my little shadow that follows me around and copies everything I do and every sound I make. When I cough she coughs, when I make any noise with my mouth or lips she tries to imitate it. I love it, she keeps a smile on my face. She is such a helper too. When I am loading the dishes in the dish washer she is right there standing next to the dish washer helping me, or if I am folding laundry she is right there pulling clothes out of the laundry basket faster than I can fold them. Yesterday I needed to wash her bedding so I pulled off the bumpers mattress pad and sheet and put it all in a laundry basket to take up stairs. I knew I couldn't leave her down stairs by her self so I loaded her up in the basket too. She just laid on all the bedding thinking she was a queen as we went up the stairs. It was pretty cute. To night we were putting her to bed, as we were going down stairs Stu was holding her and I was following pretending to get her and she was just giggling and squealing. We couldn't stop laughing ourselves. Her laugh is so contagious! Life would be so boring with out that little upside down beaver grin and those big blue eyes.

Things Abby likes at 11 months...

• Still LOVES her daddy!
• to be outside!
  
• the bike trailer, wagon and the swing (which she easily falls asleep in.)
• all music - still Josh the best.
• showers (with Daddy), Baths (with Mommy)
• TO EAT! She is such a social eater. If others are eating she needs to be also.
• OREO Cookies and Nilla Wafers

• to have some one read to her, also to take my finger and point at things in the book and have me say what it is.
• to unload her drawers - really likes to get out her swimming suit.
• to unload the Tupperware drawer
• to sleep on her tummy with her bum up in the air.
• Dolls
• meat of any kind
• watermelon!!!
• my brush
  
• Just being out and about!
  

New things she has learned this month...

• to clap when we say Yeeeeaaaaa!
• getting better at waving bye, bye.
• She has a new interest in stairs and tries to go up them. (She doesn't get very far - up the first step)
  
• sometimes she will stand on her own for a few seconds.
  
• She stands up and walks around everything and has finally learned how to sit back down.
  
• I still think she says dog when she sees a dog put it is still not totally consistent.
• to unroll the toilet paper
• she tries to put her bows in her hair when she finds them on the floor, but pulls them out the second I put one in.
• tries to put her shoes on her feet
• she understands NO and is pretty obedient.
  

I'm Stuck!

Need I say more!
