Excuses, stories, and of course pictures.

Well, it's been a while and I can explain that
#1:
http://pinterest.com/.
Yep, I joined. And I love it.
If you haven't heard of it, hear of it because I'm telling you it is AMAZING!
My email is chucked full of things I love and things I want and now I can keep it organized and even find more things I love and simply must own at some point in my life.

I've been sick.
Terribly.
It all started last Tuesday with a special date to the temple, with my boy to do sealings.
And it ended up with me completely passing out face first on the alter.
I'm not even kidding.
I've never passed out before. Ever.
I would say I was so very embarrassed but that would be lying because I personally find it much too hilarious to be even remotely embarrassing.
My boy was a sweetheart as usual and didn't start imitating me until after we walked out of the room.
Gosh, if that would have been Michael, I would have laughed out loud right in the very sealing room.
Apparently he's more reverent than me.
Anyway since that day, I've been sick.
Tired, nauseated, weak, headache, and then I came down with a cold.
The kind of cold that makes you lose your voice.
Which according to my love is a blessing in disguise.
If I do talk I sound exactly like a warthog.
It's definitely hideous so I try not to.
Oh and no I'm not pregnant.
Definitely not.

Our internet has been slow.

And that about wraps up the coming up with excuses part. So sorry Mickelson family. I promise I'll do better!

What we've been up to.
Well let's see.
We are 95% sure we are going to go sell pest control in Cali this summer.
April to be exact.
I'll do a post explaining that soon.
I'm so very excited to be going.
Olivia and I will be spending our days at the beach.
I'm getting so very excited about the tan I'm sure to get.

We are waiting "patiently" for Michael's LSAT score.
It should be here this week!!
He's still of course busting his butt off with school and work.
I'm so proud.

Our baby girl is walking!
Well she will take about 10 steps now.
So crazy.
I'll post the video of her first steps soon as well.
Oh she also just randomly started crawling up the stairs.
This is obviously dangerous business.
She seriously books it up the stairs and if you try to go after her and tell her no no, she just looks back and you with her cute smile, waves bye bye and keeps going.
We love her so much.
She is learning so much everyday and has just the cutest smile you'll ever see.

Here are some pictures:

Playing outside with daddy.

Getting ready to play the tickle feet game with dad after her bath.
She sticks her little toes out for Michael to tickle and then just busts up when he does.
It is so cute.

She figured out how to turn the light switch on in her bedroom.
Usually I am so proud of all her new tricks and such.
But this one, not so much.
She has been known to get up in the middle of the night and turn it on and then just play.
And same thing goes with her naps.
So being the smart mommy that I am I've gone ahead and taped it down.
And that pretty much took care of that problem.
For now at least. Let's just hope she doesn't figure out how to rip the tape off.

Here's my boy.
I just love him so much and am so grateful for how hard he works for our little family.

Oh and wait until you see this.
After some convincing and maybe a few bribes.
Michael let me buy this lovely duvet cover for our bed.
I couldn't be happier about this.
Our bed is pretty much complete except for the pillows I want to make for it.
I'm so excited!
(Oh ps this isn't our bed or bedroom. It's just a picture of the cover.)

Stay tuned for more posts.
I'm sure I'll update soon.
