Totally Lennon

This is Lennon's signature look- just after she was given a candy cane! Hilarious! How cute is she??

Holland James ultrasound pics

Sorry about the lack of blogging... I'm kind of over it. Here's a couple pics of our new baby in the ultra sound. So far her name is Holland James. I love it! If you don't like it, feel free to have your own baby and choose your own name, ass. And DON'T tell me that everyone's going to call her Holly. If you call her holly you will answer to the wrath of me!

Mike likes Scout also, but not sure if I can commit to that name.

Hatch

On October 2nd we all met at my Grandmas grave for the one year anniversary(do you really call it this?) of her death. It sounds strange to call it anniversary. My mom got the prettiest flowers-forgot the name of them- and mini pumpkins for each great-grandchild to put on her marker. We miss Grandma Hatch

supporting Utah's crappy zoo!

Hogle zoo makes me sad. Actually the only reason we went is because we have a season pass to Tracy Aviary and the first Thursday of the month you get into the zoo free (technically that's not supporting it?), but it is fun to take Lennon to see the animals. I am dying to go see Zuri, the new baby elephant. I am even willing to pay to see her. Lucky for me it is freezing weather now, so I hope we will get a chance to go see her. Anyway, here's a few shots from a trip to the zoo last month.




Yay! At least we got to see the baby giraffe! She is cute too! She is over 6 feet tall already.




Papa and Lennon (bonus a zebras butt-proof we were really at the zoo!)




Lennon looking cute & a little ragged. Her hair can get out of control fast. But her face is still so sweet.

Smith's

Just what the world needs is another SMITH- so we are adding one more! We are having a baby in early May. I am about 8 weeks. We are excited/very sick! This time around has been rough so far. Wish us luck with everything because we are dunzos after this. Hopefully it's a boy so we will have one of each. (although I would not mind a girl at all, and we have all the stuff)

I am considering a natural birth. We also threw the idea around to not find out the sex. Mike laughed and said YOU will never be able to handle that! It's a nice thought though. I really don't know how people can wait to find out. Maybe, just maybe, we will be one of those people.

In other news Lennon said a 4 word sentence! I asked her where her treat cup was and she says "treat cup in there." I was shocked! We went in her room and I still didn't see the cup, until she pointed to it and said "there." The girl's a genius! haha! She can draw a perfect circle too. She is obsessed with drawing circles?? And the girl is OBSESSED with Yo Gabba Gabba. Like a crazy obsession. That's what we're being for Halloween-our favorite holiday.

I don't get it

Please tell me why you would buy your fresh produce at a grocery store right now. There are Farmers markets going on all over. I don't get how you could go to Smith's or Costco and purchase tomatoes, peaches, blackberries, peppers, corn, carrots, potatoes, garlic, etc. Have you ever tried a garden fresh grown tomato or peach or anything mentioned above? They do not even compare to store bought AT ALL! Store bought ones taste like they were picked not ripe (wait- because they weren't), shipped in from Mexico and covered in tons of pesticides-not to mention who knows what else.

Come on, support our local farmers that make a living this way. Not only are you helping out your neighbor, but you will eat something that tastes like what it really is! You can ask them when it was picked and it's usually this morning. How awesome is that?

Oh and while we're on the subject-Lennon had her first happy meal the other day (hopefully her last, hah). I thought hmm I'll get her something healthy, the apple dippers. What the hell are those things? They did not even taste like an apple at all! They were some kind of genetically engineered extremely, crunchy thing. Lennon would not go near them (thank God). I wonder just how many days they have been peeled before you eat them, because they were in no way turning the usual brown color that a natural apple does. shudder. Sick!

Everyone-including me for sure, needs to be more conscious of what you are ingesting into your body. Think, why do so many Americans develop cancer? Could it be our horrible diets? I think that's definitely the reason. When you can't pronounce the ingredients in your food, there are 95 ingredients in it & they all appear to be at least 18 letters long, which you vaguely remember doing some kind of science experiment with that in 12th grade chemistry, that can't be a good idea to eat that. Food isn't supposed to stay fresh for 2-5 years. I don't know, I guess I'm just weird?! Eating a chemical substance that is made using chlorine & sugar, and discovered while performing yet again an experiment (a tasty, tasty one at that ;)), that scares me. I really don't care if it has more calories to eat real sugar. Bring on the organic, all natural sugar, baby. Because think about it food/drinks have calories! And if you're eating/drinking something that doesn't have calories, what the fuck are you eating/drinking? You can't cheat the system. You're drinking/eating straight nasty chemical funk.

K- stepping off my soap box now. And thinking about Doritos, but going to refrain. They are delicious. hah
