Ho Hum

Well, if you couldn't tell, there hasn't been a whole lot going on in our lives the past week or so. However, I decided to just post some pictures I took of Miley the other day while she was doing some tummy time in her Boppy. We are all suffering from colds right now, so hopefully we can get over that and start having some fun again! I am also trying to figure out how to post some videos from our video camera on this....so maybe there will be another post soon. Meanwhile, enjoy these pictures....I think they are pretty dang cute.

Happy Halloween! Well, We Tried Anyway....

Happy Halloween Everyone! We had a pretty mellow day. Miley was not at all thrilled about the skunk costume we had for her, so the only pictures of her in the costume are of her looking pretty mad. However, she was perfectly happy the rest of the day in her cute little Halloween outfit from Grammy! Here are some random pictures from the day....including our Jack-O-Lantern we carved the night before. Also, forgive Miley's hair in most of these pictures. She had just waken up from a nap, and it definitely shows. :)

Here we are trying to get her to smile in her skunk outfit....we did not have much success.

Well, she was not having it, so we decided to give her a little break, and she could not have been more thrilled....

She was looking pretty happy, so we thought we would give the costume one more shot...

Oh well. Maybe next year, right? :)

T-Wolves!

Last night, I got to go to my first pro basketball game, to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves in their season opener against the Sacramento Kings. Cameron always gets tickets to sporting events from people at work. On his birthday, we got to go to a Twins game against the White Sox and sit in the front row behind home plate! I unfortunately didn't have my camera with me that night, so I made sure to bring it last night, as we were in the fourth row. It was awesome!

Cameron and I before the game

My friend Erin and I

This guy, Kevin Love, is a rookie and the nephew of a Beach Boy!

Target sponsored the halftime show, and it was this lady called the Red Panda. She rode around on this really tall unicycle, and while doing this would flip bowls off of her feet onto the top of her head! It was pretty impressive!

The game came down to the last minute, and the Timberwolves ended up beating the Kings 98-96. It was a great game! And it helped that we could both sit down and watch the game because we left Miley at Cameron's brother and sister-in-law's house. It was wonderful! Hopefully this is just the first of a few NBA games this year!

I got tagged....not once, but twice!

This one's about my husband, Cameron (from Carolyn!):

1. Where did you meet your husband? Most people assume we met through football and dance, but we actually met when my friend Alexia and I asked Cameron to tutor us in our Business Calculus class. He had just aced a test that I had achieved a 33% on. I needed some serious help.

2. How long did you date before you were married? We started "officially" dating on August 28th, 2005. We got married on May 12th, 2007. So a little over a year a half before we got married. But we were really good friends for a while before that.

3. How long have you been married? Almost a year and a half.

4. What does he do that surprises you? There are lots of things, but a funny thing....most of you know Cameron is quite the penny pincher. So it always surprises me when HE suggests going shopping and buying pretty much anything we want.

5. What is his favorite feature? My favorite feature on him is his smile and his laugh. It is rare to see Cameron looking anything but happy.

6. What is his favorite quality? My favorite quality of his is his ease around anyone and everyone. As opposed to me, who is shy around new people, Cameron can talk to someone he has just met and is completely comfortable with it. Probably a huge reason he found a job so easily and I didn't!

7. Does he have a nickname for you? Oh tons. His original name though is Puddger. No, not like pudgy, or fat, but a play on the word "Puddin". Yeah, I still don't get it sometimes either.

8. What is his favorite food? He loves food. But if I had to say a favorite, probably just plain ol' steak.

9. What is his favorite sport? Any and all?? Probably football though.

10. When and where was your first kiss? August 28th outside my friend Tara's apartment.

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Go on walks and just talk or play games.

12. Do you have any children? Miley

13. Does he have any hidden talents? Hidden?? Hmmm...he is a very good "househusband" when he wants to be. All of my sister-in-laws and I have decided this is a Clark trait. He can cook and clean like no other when he really wants to.

14. How old is he? 25

15. Who said I love you first? Me.

16. What is his favorite music? Classic rock...such as Def Leppard and Journey, and Pink Floyd. But he really like any kind of music...from musicals to rap.

17. What do you admire most about him? Cameron manages to EXCEL (is that how you spell that? I get it confused with the computer program...ha ha!) at everything he does, from sports, to work, to family life. I don't know how he does it. I have seriously never seen him fail at anything. And he works hard to keep it that way.

18. What is his favorite color? He likes blue and green (same as Carolyn's Kip!).

19. Will he read this? Nope

20. Who do you tag? Lindsey, Gelsey, and Annie. :)

Numero Dos....from Lindsey

The second one...Lindsey tagged me with this.

So here are my 7 random or weird facts!

1. Kind of based off of one of Lindsey's random facts, I have been to 12 different countries, on 4 continents. These countries are...the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, England, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, China, and Australia.

2. I had six-pack abs from the time I was in sixth grade through just last year. It has been one of the few features on myself throughout those years that I really liked and was really proud of. I would like to say that this was the result of a lot of hard workouts and dedication, but it really wasn't. However, my awesome stomach is now long gone after having Miley!

3. I kind of have a crazy obsession with celebrities. I can't get enough of US Weekly magazines, E! News, and if you have ever heard of names I like for kids, most happen to be celebrity names. I swear this is not intentional. I definitely do not plan on naming my kinds after celebrities (Miley is NOT named after Miley Cyrus!), it just happens to be that I think these names are really cute. Maybe due to the fact that I am reading about them all the time.

4. This is the first time in my life that I have lived away from my parents. From 0-21 years, I lived with, or very near to my parents. This move to Minnesota has been very hard because of that. I miss being able to go home anytime I want to.

5. I have a very one-tracked mind. If I get into something, I can't stop. Whether it is cleaning, working on a craft, reading a book, or watching a TV show, I can't stop until it is done. This really annoys Cameron sometimes, like when I can't put down a book from the time he is home at night till long after he has gone to bed.

6. I was on the dance team at the University of Wyoming. I know most of you know this, but what you may not know, is that the three years that I was on that team probably built more confidence in myself than any other experience in my whole life. Between performing in front of thousands of people, and making some of the best friends I have ever had, it helped me find my niche and is probably what will always make up the biggest portion of my best (and worst at some times!) college memories.

7. I, along with the other members of my family, have the nicest handwriting anyone has probably seen in their entire life. I get more comments on my handwriting from people than anything else. I am pretty sure that is one of the reasons teachers liked me so much in college.

OK. I just don't know that many people on here yet, so I am only going to tag as many people as I can that haven't already been tagged. This includes Carolyn, Erica, Annie, Rachel, Caralee, Darci, and Kimberly.

Shots and Stats

Today I had the dreaded task of taking Miley to get her next round of vaccinations. I hate having to hold her little arms down while she gets stuck in the leg. However, she is a pretty good sport, and only cries for a couple minutes....after the trauma was over, she was as happy as ever. She was a good girl for the rest of the appointment-the first time I have made it through a doctor appointment without her crying (with the exception of her getting the shots!). As much as I hate taking her to these appointments, I also enjoy them, because we get to find out how big Miley is getting. However, I am not sure big is the word....here are her 4-month measurements.

Height - 23 inches - 10th percentile

Weight - 11 pounds, 11 ounces - 10th percentile

Head - 15 3/4 inches

So as you can see, she is just a little peanut. Not that she exactly has the large size genes on her side. :)

Someone is tired after their adventure at the doctor!

Showing off her beautiful Band-aids!

Tonight Miley was in such a good mood. So we had to take some pictures of her (kind of) smiling. This is pretty unusual, as she becomes pretty fascinated by the camera and quits smiling as soon as she sees it! And I figured we would throw in some tummy time pictures, just for good measure. You can also see in these pictures that Miley's hair is getting more and more out of control every day. It probably looks like I don't fix it most of the time, because it sticks of in the back all the time!

Roll Over, Miss Miley!

So, just a quick post to say that Miley rolled over from her back to her front today and I totally missed it!! I left her on her back downstairs, while I ran upstairs to grab her Baby Einstein blocks for her to play with. When I came downstairs, she was on her tummy with her head held up looking all around! I can't believe I missed it! I wasn't going to post about this at first, but I am following my sister's lead, and writing down these milestones so I can remember when I am looking back. Miley is four months and one day old! Just to keep everyone updated, Miley has already rolled over from her tummy to her back, at 11 weeks and 5 days old. However, she has not done it since, so maybe it was a fluke?? :)
