Just another day

Today we woke up, and Kiley wanted to play with all of her stuffed animals in her "baby cage".
Then Michelle gave her some blocks we bought her last night.
Then I ate some lunch!

Just so all of you are aware, Kiley does like her Darla Dog as well. Maybe when she's a little older she can go for horse rides!

Non-Crawler

Even though Kiley can't crawl yet, she still seems to be able to get herself exactly where she wants to be. She has basically mastered rolling techniques that allow her to get to her destination! We have high hopes that she will be a crawling maniac SOON like her cousin Ashton Glodowski. - michelle

MOM AND DAD FORD

This is my favorite Dad and my favorite Mom in the entire world! Sorry it look so long to get you onto the blog, but here ya go!

FISH LAKE

FISH LAKE


This last weekend we went camping at Fish Lake in Utah, with my family. They have a four-wheeler camping vacation every year, but this was the first time we came up for it. We were not very sure of what to expect, but it was a lot of fun. A lot of dirty, but a lot of fun.

We saw about 9 large bull elk, a lot of beautiful mountains and meadows, but the highlight of my weekend, was going undefeated in horseshoes with Troy as my partner. Michelle's highlight might have been taking a shower last night!

3 Joys:
- My husband Shawn and my baby girl Kiley aka the reason for Life.
- Chocolate Cake and Chocolate covered pretzels. I simply love them.
- My dogs. Life would be a lot more boring without them.

3 Fears:
- Spiders. I recently found a spider in my shower (right after I got out). Since then, anytime I go into the bathroom I do a thorough check of the entire bathroom to make sure there are no spiders. Then also Shawn and I found a Black Widow spider under the waterfall in my parent's pool. Now, the pool is scary place to be.
- The dark, seriously. I saw "Into the Darkness" probably the worst made movie in history, but I am terrified of the dark now. The sad thing is that I saw the movie about 5 years ago and I am still so scared.
- Dying.

3 Goals: (short term)
- Loose 10 lbs.
- Grow my hair back out. I cut it hoping my headaches would go away, but no.
- Finish the laundry. It's never done....ever

3 Goals: (long term)
- take a photography class and get myself a fancy expensive camera.
- Somehow make enough money so I only have to work because I want to work. I like working, but I would like to know that I don't have to work to survive.
- Meet or even just see a celebrity. Honestly, I have never even seen a celebrity from a distance. I mean a real celebrity like John Basedow.

3 Current Obsessions:
- My cell phone.
- Teaching Kiley to sit up by herself.
- The PussyCat Dolls new song "Just might get it" I don't know why I LOVE this song, but I listen to it on their website at work a Lot.

3 Surprising Facts:
- I wear glasses. Maybe that's not surprising, but hopefully no one really knows. I have glasses and I wear them a few times a month...In fact, I'm wearing them right now. But, I think nerds wear glasses and so I try not to wear them often.
- I bruise like a peach. Anything that hits me leaves a bruise. I look down at my legs and all the sudden I have a new bruise. Weird.
- My best friends are my brothers and sisters. With 5 kids in the family its hard to believe that I am best friends with all of them, but I AM. And, I'm best friends with my mama and dad too.

Man's (Kiley's) Best Friend

Kiley loves her dogs, especially Mr. Hankford Puppidor!

I Hate Darla

I hate Darla, I think that she might be the most evil scum to be placed in my life, ever. She is an incredibly foul beast, who smells, does not obey even the most basic commands, is fat, steps on and crushes everyone almost daily, and leaves hair behind everywhere she goes.

She is a big giant sweetheart with huge loving eyes, and the most affectionate dog you could ask for and has nothing but the best intentions in everything she does. But I still hate her!
