Overheard

"Holy shit Mom, look at those crayons!"

Everyone knows that I have a mouth on me. But it became very apparent the other day while shopping at Target that it is time for me to begin watching what I say around the child...

Vacation Getaway

Finally, we were able to get some time off work and go to St. George to visit with Ryan's parents for a week. It was so relaxing. Swimming in the pool, running, shopping & playing golf :) Thank you Mom & Dad for letting us crash for a much needed break!

New Update

It has been a while from the last update. Life has been busy to say the least. Full of governing board reports, monthly operating reports & weekly projections. Yes this is the life of a hospital administrator. I am tired. Very tired. This has been a month from hell. To top it off, Ryan is just as busy. We are strangers as of late. Attempting to have a conversation once a day in between conference calls. When people ask us if we are having more kids, I laugh. We barley have enough time for one! I know that there are plenty of you out there that have 4 + kids and seem to handle it just fine. But I openly admit that I am not one of these women. I truly think we are OK with one. Yes one. I am looking forward to a wonderful weekend with my hubby and baby girl. It is so needed.

6 years and counting...

We celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary last week. Due to our busy schedules, we decided to combine Ry's 33rd birthday and our anniversary all in one weekend. We began the evening with sushi :) Then we did a little bowling, which I sucked at by the way. Then we went and saw Prince of Persia. The next day we had a date day at Lagoon. Neither of us have been there for over 10 years! We had a blast!! Thank you to Dantzel for taking Madi while we played! Ryan, I love you with all that I am. Thank you for always being supportive and for being such a wonderful father to our beautiful daughter. I love you!

Happy Birthday 2 you!

Little bug turned two yesterday! I can't belive how fast she has grown! Inspired by her love of The Little Mermaid, we had an Under the Sea theame. It was a lot of work and yes, I went a little overboard as always. But I just can't resist spoiling her :) I just LOVED how her cake turned out! Gotta love Granite Bakery! Family :)
Uncle Issac & Aunt Jess
Birthday girl!
Uncle Olie & Aunt Monica made this for Madi! She LOVES it!

Au revoir Lost

We have followed the TV show Lost religiously from the day it aired. In fact, seeing how we are not a religious family, I guess Lost really has been the closest thing to anything Divine that we do follow... The last episode aired on Sunday. Thanks to Mom & Dad for an AWESOME party by the way :) Lost was so good in so many ways. Ultimately, I believe I loved the idea of a group of strangers being brought together in possibly the most stressful trying times in their lives. Each one of them had their own set of issues. Some worse than others. But in the end, they all found what it was they were looking for. Now I will be looking for another show to watch but I dare say, I will have an issue of my own finding anything that will compare. Farewell Lost and, Namaste :)

RIP Blackberry

For those of you who are not aware of my small Blackberry habit, I must tell you that I am slightly addicted to the damn thing. The crackberry runs my life. It tells me what meetings I have on a daily basis. (And I have A LOT!) When to wake up, Pediatrician appointments, my bank account information and the ever important daily celebrity update :) Tragically, my blackberry died yesterday. In the middle of the hospital cafeteria, I proceeded to spill a cup of Diet Mountain Dew all over it:( Oh, and a little fry sauce... It was not that long ago that I survived without a cell phone. I remember waiting in line at the pay phone after the high school dance to tell Mom & Dad you were on your way home. In a way, life was a lot simpler without one really.... My darling hubby just picked up the new adopted, Mountain Dew free Blackberry and is on it's way home. Despite the fact that I know now that this machine runs my life, I am addicted. My name is Cora, and I am a Blackberry aholic.

Luvs,
