I Know I Know!

I have gotten several comments on how I am boring everyone with my blog. Well I am sorry. I am currently without a camera so I don't have pictures to make an interesting post. So to all of you I apologize that I bore you.
Another post will be coming soon.

A Little Post About My Favorite Person

I will give you 5 hints for you to guess who my favorite person is;
1. Always helping other people
2. Favorite things start with an E
3. Most thoughtful person I know
4. Beautiful eyes
5. Name is commonly preceded by "Pirate"

You guessed it, it's my cute Hubby, Jefe.
Today I was sitting on the computer doing some work and when he came home from work he had brought me a treat. A soda and a rice krispie treat. He knows I love these things and grabbed some for me before he left work. He is always doing cute thoughtful things like that. There has been several times where he will come home and have a surprise for me. Or I will come home to an amazing change in our house to which he spent hours doing.
There have been 2 events in particular that make him the best husband ever. In February of 2006 for my birthday Pete flew in my best friend from Virginia and surprised me. Not only had he surprised me with her he had completely put together our guest bedroom for her to stay in. And I mean completely. He had to bring in the queen mattress, bed frame, and head and foot board from the storage. Wash sheets and put up blinds. It was the most amazing surprise.

And then for this last birthday he pulled off an even more amazing stunt. He convinced me to hold off on buying our baby furniture so long that I was then told it was back ordered and wouldn't be available until 2 days before the baby was to be born. i was devastated. Little did I know it was already ordered and complete ready to pick up. Then while we were in Midway for work he arranged for my sister-in-law and her mom to come and assemble and decorate the nursery. He also had new carpet laid and the room painted (thanks Sue and Tadd.) So when I came home on my birthday this is what I came home to.
All of this and I had no idea. Pete is the best at surprises and keeping secrets.

I love him so much and I am so lucky to be married to him. He will bless my life and our children's for eternity. If any of you don't know Pete you need to. You are missing out on one of the greatest friendships you will ever have.
here are a few pictures to help you love him even more, for those of you who do know him.

Who Would Have Thought

So the other day I had put my hair up in curlers and we took off up North. When we got to our location and I took out my curlers I discovered i didn't have anything to pull my bangs back with. So I grabbed a twist tie from a bag and used that. It was great....And now look what one of my favorite "eye candy" designers made.
Trash Ties
I have just briefly looked over the site but I am so excited to get some and try them out. They just might be the thing that will save me from CHOPPING my hair.

Entertainment on 200 South

We live on a fairly busy street. So it's not uncommon to have our house lit up with emergency crew lights. Most often it's someone getting pulled over. One night or morning I should say a girl was pulled over right in front of our house. She was put in handcuffs and her car searched. From what we could tell the officers pulled out bags of drugs and paraphernalia. It was very entertaining to watch.
The other day while I was walking out to the garbage I saw a row of cop cars lining our street. So I peeked around the corner of our house to see what was going on. They were giving a guy a sobriety test. Haa ha it was comical to watch. From what I can tell he didn't pass the test. Then they pulled out the breathalyser and after he took that they put him in the back of one of the cars. I am guessing he was drunk :)
The best part was when they started searching his car. I could quite tell but I counted 3 open beer bottles that the officer pulled out. In addition to all the cases of beer they recovered. I tried to get as many pictures as I could but I couldn't quite get the zoom I wanted. My neighbor was also enjoying the show and she said they pulled out guns as well. I am guessing that is what the officer was pulling out of the camo bag.
I knew this was blog material and I hope you all enjoyed it was much as I did.

Super Deliquent Weigh-In

This should be post dated for Wednesday November 28th. I weighed in at 141. I have become sloppy on my regimen but I am hoping to pick it back up and be strong for the next two weeks.

Thanksgiving Josephson Style

Here in Utah the Josephson's like to mix things up a little bit. We were having dinner at my brother Blake's house in Saratoga Springs. I woke up to a call from him Thursday morning telling us to come up early and bring something BIG to blow up. Big as in a dishwasher or an RV. Well we didn't have anything BIG so we just brought ourselves and knew Blake would come up with something.
While dinner (really lunch) was cooking a few of us ventured about 3 miles from Blake and Jer's house up to a hill where millions of shotgun shells, spent bullets, and carnage of pumpkins, clay discs, and beer bottles covered the ground. Blake and Pete mixed a few powders together, duct taped them to buckets of paint, 5 gallon buckets of paint. And well it made for some great Thanksgiving fun.
I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

"No, Thanks Mom. I Can Get My Own Toys"

Cora had so many little trickets and random toys that I bought a nice little net from IKEA for her to store her things in. It's been really nice and keeps her room looking clean. Little did I know that it would make her so independent. Cora can keep her self entertained for hours in her crib simply because she gets her own toys out.
Here she is reaching in.

















Trying to fit her head in.













Caught!!!


At times she can even be found swinging from the net. One day I will come in to see a large piece of plaster missing from the ceiling and Cora underneath it, I am sure.
