Sunny and Rocky in the backseat of my car.

Me laying out. This is what I like to do on my days off :)

Last weekend Cj said something really funny. I can't remember what he said. But obviously it was hilarious. 

Today Cj and I both had the day off! Yay. So we dropped Olive off at my mom's to go hang out with Rocky. We went over to Rubio's and had lunch. It was pretty good. Today was such a nice day! Then after lunch we went over to the Orem mall and got our mom's, (Or I got our mom's) stuff for mothers day. 

After lunch, and shopping, Cj needed a coffee. We went over to the starbucks right next to the mall and hung out outside. Like I said, today was a beautiful day. 

After our errands we decided to go see the kids at Matt and Melissa's house. It always fun for me to see kids, and hold a baby! We grabbed Olive and Rocky before we went over there. Cora is absolutely in LOVE with Rocky. She loves to run and chase him around. But her favorite thing to do is to hold Rocky. He's almost getting so big that she can't pick him up. But for now it's so cute when she hold him.   

This picture is really old, but I love this picture. I have it up in my makeup room on my magnet board. I see this picture everyday. Looking at this picture always makes me smile. I can be a daddy's girl, and I know my dad loves me. This picture is priceless.

Cj and his buddies played basketball last Sunday. I usually don't attend b/c it can be really boring for me. Come on, I have been watching basketball almost everyday for the last 5 months! But my friend Makel was going to be there, so of course I went so we could chat and the boys could play.

Monday I went over to my parents (While the Utah Jazz were losing.. Just saying.) My dad made me a chicken Caesar salad wrap. So good! My dad is great, especially at cooking.

Tuesday I got up for work and got ready. Olive was being such a little lazy bug. She would NOT get out of bed. She's wearing a onezie b/c she's been in heat for the last 2 weeks. But I told her she needed to go outside to go to the bathroom, and this is the face she gave me.

Happy 16th birthday Sunny! My mom took Sunny and I out to lunch for her birthday at Red Robin.  

Sunny and I on her birthday! 

For Sunny's birthday she wanted my dad to make chicken curry. So he made chicken curry and he made Sunny a homemade ice cream cake. Yes us Standefer's can be spoiled on our birthdays :)

Violet and her three kittens. She has been going strong with breast feeding them for 4 weeks now! Go violet. The kittens are so stinking adorable.

You can't stay young forever.

Wow! Lately I've been looking through old photo's and it's seemed to make me sad. I feel like I've grown up so much since Cj and I had started dating. I don't want to grow up. I want to go back to the good old days! Even though in those days, all I wanted to do was be 18 and do whatever I wanted. Life can be hard growing up.

Looking through all of our pictures had just made me have this overwhelming feeling. Like, where has all the time gone?? Recently i've been having a hard time just with life. I'm not for sure why I've been so sad, or why I should be sad. I guess it's just that time of the month where you get depressed. I'm not sure, but it's not fun. Life goes by so fast! I love my life,. I love my husband, I love my family so much, and I love my job! What else should I be thankful for? I have SO much more to be thankful for! I need to stop having a bad attitude and live my day with a better, and better attitude. I have so much to be thankful for. Even though it may not be the same as it was 5 years ago. Every body has to grow up and move on.

 We have moved from our old place but Olive used to LOVE the front window. That's one thing we miss for her.

 Last year here is Olive and I going to one of cj's soccer games. She's my best friend.

Little Cora used to be so little!

Can't believe that we're going to be married for two years this year.

 First and last time Cora came over to our last apartment. Olive was happy to see her, but I don't think Cora was expecting a kiss from Olive haha!

 My little baby Andrew, who is now a big older brother! Andrew has grown up so fast!

Benjamin from France who came last summer to come and hang out with the Standefer's. I miss him so much! Revenir Benjamin!!

Looking at this picrues has helped me realize how fast children grow!

Things I love lately.

Things that I love lately.

Our new little china hutch drawer set. My dad flew up to Arizona last week, got my grandpa's truck for Corbin, and drove it back to Utah. My grandma filled the truck with some of her things that she's giving to her grand kids. She also gave us the mirror, and the glass jigger. Which is awesome! This has a top part to it, but I decided it was too much, so I currently have the hutch part in my make up room. Yes, I have a make up room! :) She packed a bunch of her china, pictures, and silverware too. Thanks grandma!

The jigger! I think it's so fun. It's something you would see on Pawn Stars. Haha

This Miracle leave-in it's a 10, is really a 10! I can not go one day without using this stuff. It makes my hair gain it's keratin back in the strands, makes my hair feel soft, and it smells so good! I highly recommend getting some of this stuff if you feel like your hair needs some help.

I recently got this new product "Hello Flawless!" from Benefit cosmetics. I was using MAC for my powder foundation, but Nordstrom's is no longer in Orem. So i decided to try something new and I really like it. It covers up your flaws, feels super light, and it has SPF 15.

I can't forget Olive. Even though sometimes she drives me crazy! She really is my best friend, next to Cj of course. I always have her with me. I talk to her like she's a human. Which might not be a good thing b/c I think that she might think she's human. What I love about Olive is she doesn't talk back to me. Hehe

Sunny May

On Saturday Sunny had her Taekwondo belt challenge? Her and my dad go to Taekwondo class about 2 times a week. Corbin used to go with my dad, until he got a girlfriend.. Anyways I got some sweet pictures of Sunny in class.

I love, love, love this one of May and my dad. So proud of you Sunny! Keep up the good work.

Spring time

My last 2 weeks in pictures...

 My dad made his amazing chicken curry for the office 2 weeks ago when we worked after hours. After we worked 5 days in a row, we were off for a whole week!

Sweet baby JoJo, he is a sweet baby.

 Cora was pretending to be baby Jonas and hang out in his little baby sling. Haha

Cj holding Jonas. He's finally starting to warm up to holding babies. About time!

 While I was off we decided to pull out the hid-a-bed for the weekend. I thought it was fun sleeping in the living room in the hide-a-bed. I was telling Cj it was like we were having a sleepover. Even though we have a sleepover everynight.. Being in a hide-a-bed is different.

 I love my lucky hedgehog necklace from Jen!

 Olive looks terrified in this picture. She's my baby girl.

 Cj taking pictures of himself while i'm thinking he's taking a picture of Sunny and I! Dork.

 Me and my May May.

Cj watching the news with Rocky, while my mom cooks dinner in the back.

My parents cat Violet had kittens. She had 4, but only 3 lived. They are super cute. After they had turned 2 weeks I let Olive meet them. She hopped right into their bed and started licking them, cuddling them and acting like a mom. I really think that she thought she was their mom for a little bit. She is so weird. If any one wants a kitten let me know.

I was off of work for a week and now i'm back. I didn't do much while we were on our break. I did deep clean the house, and shampoo the carpets. It always feels good to shampoo your carpets. The weather has been so great lately! I love the warm weather. 

On Friday I went over to UVU to talk to a counselor about getting back into school. This one counselor helped me get started with a couple things and I have a scheduled appointment with the nursing program counselor on Wednesday. I am ready to go back and get my RN.

This weekend was SO great. On Thursday Cj took me out to dinner, we went to India Palace. It's not as good as Bombay house, but it was still really good. Then on Friday we went to the movies. We saw "The Cabin in The woods". I didn't like it, but Cj said it was ok. Then yesterday our friends invited us to have a BBQ at their house and watch the jazz game. We had a fun weekend.
