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.

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.

I Can't Believe I Ate The Whole Thing

When we went to Idaho in January to see the Rexburg Temple I had made a whole list of places to take Jared to. Well since the car turned into a BBQ we didn't do anything on the list. (Refresh your memory http://jljbuck.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-doh-ho.html)

We had the pleasure of returning to Idaho last week for Brielle's (my cousin) wedding. We managed to talk Carl into launching his boat (aka HUGE car) and taking a quick trip to get a bite to eat.


"I'm so hungry I could eat a cow!" Little did he know he would come close to doing just that.

Jared said he was starving so I took him for a burger at Big Juds locally famous for the Big Juds Special. If you can eat the whole thing by yourself they put your picture on the wall. Jared and William were both going to try it but after seeing the size of it in real life and knowing we had to go party at the reception decided to split one.

Joseph tried to sneak a bite but Jared said "NO!! I don't share food!!"

Joseph was a little sad by Daddy not sharing

Here is Jared's hamburger compared to Carl's hamburger.

Afterwards Jared made a trip to the restroom. He came out laughing at the "ghetto-ness" of it. He said the sink would shake like a washing machine and the lid on the toilet didn't fit. We decided this was to discourage people from losing their burgers while still in the resturant.





Overall we had a fun trip and have great memories!!

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

So I went to Walmart to get some spackle to fix up the place I am vacating (no spackle) when I decided to pass through the Electronics section. I walked by the gaming units and in the Nintendo section saw at the very bottom a single white box. I assumed it was the display that says currently out of stock, but upon closer inspection, it appeared to be legit. So I asked the Wal-Mart Cast member if that was a Wii and she said, "yeah I think we got one left you want it?"

without thinking I said, "yes!" So she took it out and gave it to me and sure enough- it's a Wii. (They are surprisingly heavy) So i tried to call Annie for permission- i called her cell twice, her home and her mom- no answer. So i amde an executive decision and bought it! (There was another guy eyeing it so I couldn't let him get it.) So we are in possession of a Nintendo Wii the hottest funnest video game system around. Hard to find too. Especially like the bowling and tennis games and Emma if you read this, I want vengeance in boxing! So come on over everyone and lets play Wii! (Bring games if you have them!)

Cereal Rocks!!

After begging and grabbing everything in sight my mommy finally let me start eating something besides milk. Grandma Hendrickson has been trying to sneak me food for weeks. She managed to slip me some tasty things including bread, waffles with syrup and root beer. All of which has made mommy tell grandma "no no" which makes me laugh that I'm not the only one mommy says that to.
Anyway mommy has started me out on cereal. I not sure I like the taste but I'm adjusting to it well. The biggest problem I seem to be having is not sleeping through the night anymore. This has been driving mommy crazy but I told her it's dark in my tummy and when my tummy needs food it can't tell if it's day or night. The other day mommy was feeding me but wasn't being quick enough so I took matters into my own hands. I've found that a spoon in each hand seems to work much better.






I think I did an excellent job at feeding myself. I only got it all over my face, clothes and bumbo. Mommy took my picture afterwards but you can't really see the results.

WE'RE READY TO BELIEVE YOU!!!

Yo check out the car I saw at the Denver Automotive show. It was the best car there, though all of the cars were too pricey for us. It played the Ghostbusters song and was littered with Traps and a proton pack- Very nice. The license number is ECKTO 1K which was a nice touch. Pretty sure the original wasn't a Subaru outback though.

For those of you that are Transformer fans, here is the Chevy Camaro Bumblebee
