Thriller the Wedding

So Jared decided that Carl's wedding would be much cooler if it had radical music and killer dance moves. He turned to YouTube for his inspiration to make the wedding awesome. The following are his some of his most watched videos. He has seen them so many times that it only takes a note or two to have me rolling my eyes.

Jared has really taken to learning Thriller. He is dedicated (sometimes a little too much) to practicing. He has been seen displaying his new moves to everyone, including the people waiting for the light rail, shopping at the mall, and I even saw a move or two at church.

To learn the moves so you can "thrill the wedding" with us check out these great tutorials:

Goodbye Mr. Toothless

I gave Mommy a special Mother's Day gift. I decided I was done being cute toothless and cut my first tooth. Mommy first noticed it on Sunday May 11th - Mother's Day!! She said luckily she discovered it with her finger and not by nursing. Daddy and me were hoping she wouldn't figure it out until she was giving me a snack. I was really looking forward to spreading the good news with a big bite.

Mommy is sad to see my toothless grin bite the dust. My tooth is only poking though a little so I'm still toothless but I don't think it will be for long. Mommy celebrated my new tooth with me all night long. I decided it was time to really test my mommy and she how many times I could wake her up before she cracked. I played a game with her and would wait until she was just drifting off to sleep to scream that I wanted her again. She was a pretty good sport and played all night with me. I was hoping to get Daddy in on the game too but he slept right though everything. Maybe tonight he'll play with me.

!Viva El Bigote!

Ole Y Feliz Cinco De Mayo!



Por alguna Razon festejamos el dia Cinco de Mayo- extrano porque no tenemos ningun legado mexicano. Quizas es porque mi tio esta en mexico como misionero. No se yo.



Ok not everyone reads Spanish- what you think we should just speak Spanish? Heaven forbid we live in the US. For some reason, grandma decided to have a Cinco de Mayo party. Side Note: When we were in Mexico a few years ago, we were there on May 5th and they had no idea what we were talking about regarding “Cinco de Mayo.” Did you know there is also a “Tercer de Mayo” and a “Cuarto de Mayo?” Tambien como el Seis…



So as part of the celebration we had some delicious Mexican food, including shredded pork and Grandma’s famous Taco Salad. There was a big spread. As part of the activities everyone grew a mustache. Daddy and I started growing ours at the same time, but as you can see I beat him even though he has 2 weeks worth of growth on there (I know I couldn’t tell either) However daddy did beat me in the unibrow growing contest…or did he.



My mustache was cool, when I first had it I giggled and cooed and laughed, it was adorable. I am so cute. When I “shaved” it off it was so covered in snot that it just wouldn’t stay on me anymore. (No fotos available) but still I think the mustache made me look 10 months older! We spent the day playing Mario Kart Wii while I fell asleep quite awkwardly in my stroller. Just my feet were sticking out. Mommy is really good at Wii racing- they kept saying she got mercy and that she ruled…or maybe it was just mercy ruled I don’t remember.

Remember how I said I am so cute? Well it turns out that I have a cousin that is younger than me. And she’s a girl which means she probably has cooties, but her name is Kylie Nicole Hendrickson. She was born April 28th almost exactly 7 months after me. Mommy is upset because that was going to be my sister’s name. But she is pretty cute too, but not as cute as me because she has a funny misshapen head (grandma said mine was worse). And no mustache. Ok ok I admit she is cute too. See for yourself.


Meanwhile it has been nice having Daddy home every day- he takes care of me and changes me when I’m stinky. I like spending time with Daddy so much sometimes I make extra time at night to play with him. Daddy tells me to sleep all night but it’s just cuz I miss him.
