Twilight Spoof

Quite the Spoof on Twilight, I must say! You will only enjoy this if you've seen the movie and enjoy 'stupid humor'. My sister's and I laughed our rears off when we watched this. It gets funnier as you watch it... WATCH IT! NOW!

'Bromance'

So I was watching tv today and saw a preview for the premiere of Brody Jenner's new show, "Bromance".... Two words: Totally Queer!!! I almost peed my pants laughing when I saw this today (And it doesn't help that I have a growing baby in the belly that's already pushing on the bladder). Seriously, real cleaver Mtv. I don't like watching mtv but I'll admit I'm a big sucker for "The Hills". It's one of those shows that sucks you in, even though it's totally lame. I don't like watching "The Real World" b/c it's so trashy and worldly but a new season starts in January that has a cast member who's lds. From the previews he seemed to be a "good lds" so I'm curious to see how he's going to represent. I can't wait to get tips on romance from Brody Jenner!!

Bromance

Happy Birthday Babe<3

Today is Tyler's birthday and he turned a whopping 27 years old today!



Sweetheart, you are the most wonderful person!! I know thats biased coming from me because I'm your wife, but really. You are one of the most selfless, genuinely kind people who would do anything for another person at the drop of a hat. You have so much compassion and love for others... you always put others first and have a way of uplifting the people around you. I'm so happy to be your wife and to celebrate your life with you today. The world became a better place when Tyler Blaine Clyde was born December 2, 1981 ;o) LoL! No, really. I love you Ty and I hope you enjoy your special day.

Our New Ride

Finally got it! Last week we we purchased a Jeep Commander (limited). It's a pretty smokin' hot, sexy car and I especially love the power behind the gas peddal: ) I will feel so much better driving this car in the snow and it's so good to know my babies will be safe in the back seat. Preston loves the car... It's like a new jungle gym for him, he could play in there for hours! We traded in both our Toyota and Mitzubishi so until Tyler gets his truck in January I have to share my car with him ;o)

Happy thanksgiving Friends & Family!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoys spending this special day with their families as this is what holidays are all about. I'm so thankful for all my sisters and I look forward to spending Thanksgiving with you all this year (except Lisa... Booo, you whore!)

I'm so Thankful for the friendships I have and all the wonderful people in my life... We have made so many wonderful friends in the ward that we will have for life, I'm sure! I'm sad we're leaving the ward but we're going to keep all the friendships we've made;o) Enjoy your thanksgiving feast! I know I can't wait to stuff my face tomorrow!!

Homesick

Every once in a while I get the terrible pains of homesickness. Utah is my well established home now and has been for almost 5 years. I'm fortunate to have the best of both worlds! Growing up in San Diego was a dream and I didn't realize how much I took it for granted until I moved away. Today I was talking to an old friend from home and I got so incredibly homesick. I miss so much about my hometown... I'm hoping that this will help me to supress some of the sadness I feel right now.

I miss the beach and coming here as often as I used to to surf with my sister and friends. Then the late night bond fires and the casual laid-back feeling of being apart of the SoCal lifestyle... man, I don't know if this is going to help me feel any better! ;o)


Miss seeing this beauty... Tyler and I were married here and it truly is, in my opinion, the most beautiful temple inside and out. I wish we could return here more often and reminisce that special day together.


Oh the incredible shopping and outdoor malls... This is a picture of Horton Plaza Mall Downtown and my favorite mall at that. It has most of my favorite stores and it's right in the heart of downtown. Such a fun place to be!


Old Town, SD... This historic city is so fun and festive. We would come here all the time as a family to the "Bazar Del Mundo" where the most delicious mexican food in all of San Diego is. It's a traditional mexican restaurant with yummy pina coladas and mariachi bands serenade you while you eat... Very fun and entertaining.


Balboa Park- So many fond childhood memories here of riding the carousel, getting giant ice cream cones, climbing the hudge ancient-old trees, watching concerts, and seeing plays. This park is so beautiful!!


A small area downtown near the "Gaslamp" district... The streets in Little Italy are lined with authentic, fine Italian food. One of my many favorite places to eat and my mouth is watering right now thinking about it.


Sigh... I will be going home next month and I seriously can't wait to see all my extended family and dear friends who I miss terribly. I am having total withdrawls LOL! I really hope that one day Tyler and I can move our family there.

***Halloween***

Who says Halloween is all about the kids??? Thanks to our friend Scott Fitzgerald, we got this picture. I was so busy with the party that I didn't take 1 picture!!! Thank goodness, b/c I put so much work into these costumes. I wish you could see the back of our capes. It was such a great turnout! Thank you to everyone who came and really got into the Halloween Spirit!


This year we dressed Preston up as a giraffe. My mother-in-law Jeanette bought this witch this year and when Preston saw it he Freaked Out and started crying!
I guess he realized she wasn't real b/c when we went to Grandma and Grandpa's to trick or treat I was quite surprised Preston stood next to her. He's even holding her foot! They're good friends now.


Baby got back. I love the tail and mohawk of his costume.


This is Preston with his cousins, Cydnie and Hunter right before trick-or-treating. Preston adores Cydnie! She is his favorite as you can probably tell!!


We walked up to this house that was decorated head-to-toe and had fog, sound and lighting affects. It was really cool and this is Preston's wide-eyed expression :O


Future Clyde Company employee! This was cute. Tyler dressed Preston up in all his construction gear. This is what Ty will wear when he has to go out to the actual job sites. I think it looks cuter on Preston ;o)


This was taken by Scott again! What would we do without the Fitzgeralds! This was taken at the Ward Halloween Party. Tyler and I didn't feel like putting on the Lycra stretchy suits again so we wore our San Diego Padres gear and came as "Padres Fans" ...kinda lame, I know! But it was this or nothing at all. It was a long, tiring month with all the partying and still being in my 1st trimester of pregnancy.

I'm too sexy for my clothes...

This is something Preston does by his own free will and choice. It's too funny, but my son loves make-up, shoes, lotions and potions... I don't think he actually likes these things, he just likes to get into them. He puts my shoes on and walks around the house and I must say, he walks pretty well in high heels for a toddler. I don't have a shoe organizer in my closet so I keep all my shoes on the floor and Preston has a hay day playing with them so they're always in a jumbled mess. He is such a funny kid and this picture will be great to show to his friends when he gets older;o)

Preston's Food Strike

Monday was an eventful day for me! Preston, who by the way seemed to be acting perfectly normal, randomly threw up. We managed to get most of it in the trash can (thank goodness the kid is tall! It was the perfect height for him). I gave him a bath, put yummy baby lotion on him and cuddled and soothed him to make him feel better. Then he puked again and for the rest of the day wouldn't eat anything, not that I blame him. Once he got everything out of his system he was back to laughing and acting totally normal. weird. But! It's wednesday night now and he has hardly eaten a thing since then! He's had plenty apple juice, water, and "kambucha" so he is getting his fluids but I'm paranoid. I'm praying he'll wake up tomorrow with his healthy appetite back in order. It's like he is on a literal food strike or this is his way of fasting. It'a making me crazy!!!

Thriller

Last night Tyler and I went to see "Thriller" put on by the Odyssey Dance Theatre. It was soooo good!! I've been wanting to go every year since I moved here but I always missed my opportunity. This was the first year they came to Provo (At the Covey Center) so we were glad we didn't have to drive up to Salt Lake to see it. This is going to be a new tradition for us now. The last showing in Provo is tonight otherwise you'll have to go up to SL. Get tickets and go! You will absolutely LOVE it!!

Also, "Matt" from last season's So You Think You Can Dance performed throughout the Thriller production. It was so cool to see him, he is very talented

Farm Country

Last week I took Preston to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. It is the neatest place to take your little ones. They had goats, horses, chickens, pigs, cows... pretty much every farm animal you could think of. I'd never heard of it before and I'm so glad my friend Charity told us about it. Preston was so funny! He kept making the animal noises whenever he'd see them. In this picture he kept "naying" like a horse but he was so excited that it was a high pitched "heeeeee!" Next time I'm taking the video camera. It was too funny for words.

Cousins & Friends

Preston and Tanner are pals! I took this picture the other morning. Preston woke up surprised to see his cousin Tanner and was so excited. I loved how Preston just hopped on the back of the bike and Tanner let him... Most of the time they have a hard time sharing things (comes with the age). Tanner is 11 months older than Preston but they're good buddies. I'm so glad my sister lives so close so they can play and grow up together.

Increase Libido

I've been raving about this stuff to so many people lately. I must post. This is one of my new favorite superfoods. Traditionally this has been used in Peru for centuries to increase fertility in women. Maca Powder is highly nutritious and a natural aphrodisiac. It is given to both men and women to help increase libido.

"it is so effective in creating hormonal balance, many women use Maca to help with, menopausal problems, irregular menstrual cycles, symptoms of PMS, as well as a means to increase fertility. Men often use Maca to increase their sperm count, physical strength, as well as endurance. Maca, sold as a supplement, is quickly increasing its popularity among athletes, because it provides the strength and endurance needed for intense workouts and muscle building. Maca is recognized as a highly nutritious food and an excellent source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine. Maca’s reported beneficial effects for sexual function are likely to be due to its high concentration of proteins and vital nutrients."

I think it has a slight nutty flavor. I put it in my multigrain waffles & pancakes. I also put it in my Cacao smoothie:

2 T. Cacao Powder
1-2 T. Maca Powder (2 if you're making the drink for 2 people)
1-2 Cups Coconut milk or Hemp Milk (you can find this at most health food stores (you can use milk *but don't if you're trying to get pregnant b/c it causes mucus lining in the uterus.
apx 1 tsp. Agave Nectar or use very little stevia (Natural sweetners, no sugar! both of these found at Goodearth)(add to

If you don't want to make this yourself come over and I'd be happy to make it for you ;)...Safe for Pregnant women who aren't giving their husbands any.

My Poor Little Moco

We learned last friday that Preston is highly allergic to Cashews... I gave him maybe half of a cashew and as he was chewing it he started to get mad and started wipe his tounge with his hand. I thought maybe he just got frustrated b/c he couldn't chew it. But to my discovery Preston's eyes started swelling, itching and turned red within minutes! It took 18-20 hours for the swelling to go away completely! It was so sad we felt so horrible!!

Happy Burrfday Lindsay!!

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday... Linds!!! I hope you had a wonderful day today. Hope you got some good stuff ;o) I LOVE YOU! You're beautiful inside and out!



Sun Valley, ID... good times.

We went to Ft. Lauderdale, FL with the Tyler's family the first week of July . We had such a good time together! I particularly loved the humidity and hanging at the beach everyday. It was fun hanging with the whole family... we look forward to the next trip in 2 years!!
