land line
We have now had a home phone for about two months, since we moved into this house. This is the first time I've ever had a home phone since I got married. I hate it. It is not worth the $10 for a land line. I drives me nuts, no one I ever want to talk to calls me on it, and it rings all day long. I was trying to sell something on craigslist and I took it off, because I got sick of people calling me. We also haven't taken our name off the no call list, and since 90% of america has, we exact same telemarketers calling ever day at the exact same time. My son loves when they call because he gets to talk to them. Apparently the person that had our number before us had terrible credit. Not to mention, he hasn't told any of his friends he got a new number. The other day I got a call saying, this is the last notice that your factory warranty is about to run out. I told him husband I might believe them that my car had a factory warranty if that wasn't the 25 time they told me it was my last notice. As it is, there is no factory warranties on our cars. Long story short I hate my land line. If it wasn't for the fact that our cells our long distance for ward members up here, I would cancel the phone line immediately, I still might consider it, because my husband uses skype for work, and every person but one, that I have to call for visiting teaching has a long distance cell phone number.
My Happy Birthday
We forgot to buy candles, even though we were at the store about 20 minutes earlier.
Me and my presents. My son was a very faithful helper opening all my presents for me.
The pearl necklace my husband made me.
Gotta love grandma's birthday money. 
Ah presents.

The Busy Reason
The reason I was so busy and tired is because my parents came to town, over my birthday none the less. The last time I spent my birthday with anyone I grew up with, was my 19th, and this time I turned 24, so its been a few years. They really came so I could take my mom to the Relief Society Broadcast. She had never seen anything in the conference center, and she is the type of person to really enjoy something like that, unlike my husband who complains about the crowds and traffic.
My son absolutely loves all of his grandparents. But he really had a good time this weekend, because he doesn't see as much of his maternal grandparents. He cried when they left, it was sweet, but sad, especially because I was pregnant.

10 weeks
I have 10 more weeks until I become the mother of two. I am so not ready. 10 weeks is way too soon. I felt like pregnancy took so long the first time, now with each passing week during my second pregnancy I say, no slow down, I'm not ready for two. Or in another words, nine months the first time around seemed like a near eternity, 9 months this time, is like a blink of an eye, its not even a third of my firstborns life. My sister said, don't worry you will get more and more miserable and want the baby out, by the time 10 weeks passes. I said no, I know the secret now, the baby is easier in the womb than out of it. I told my husband maybe she'll be late and we'll get 12 more weeks. He had already said he isn't ready either, and 10 weeks is too soon. But when I mentioned late, he said no, you want her to come on time since people are coming for Christmas. I said true true. Dang conception date that put the due date in December.
Circus
You may recall we went to the Circus. It was last Wednesday. Ringling Bros. Barium and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. 
This pregnancy has made me a big activist for Elephant rights, their social interactions fascinate me. I really didn't research the people against the circus, but the circus website sure sold me. I like that the circus people have breeded 20 babies successfully, apparently baby elephants born in captivity rarely survive. (Yes, I realize I said I was an activist and liked what the circus told me, it was a joke, but I do like happy elephant stories this pregnancy and sad ones make me want to cry.) Which means I didn't believe the protesters outside, because when we saw the elephant up close he or she looked so pretty and well taken care of, plus I read this. Well maybe not pretty, their funny long peach fuzz hair makes me laugh, but huge and neat and well taken care of.
Here is all of us. My son really liked the circus. My husband said it was fun, but it was too much of a musical for him. I could see his point, I expect less song and dance numbers and more animals.
We really didn't many more animals, than elephants, one porcupine, dogs, horses, two goats, and... 
tigers.
Here are the clowns.
Like I already said, my son enjoyed the circus, but he is a very serious kid so most of the show he was very straight faced. He didn't crack a smile until the elephants came out and I said is there a baby down there? (It wasn't actually a baby but it was smaller than the rest.) And he finally let out a huge smile and said yeah!
This is what he looked like until the elephants, do you see those creases above his eyebrows. The above picture made me sad, my baby boy doesn't look much like a baby anymore. I said that to my husband during intermission at the circus, and he said, he isn't a baby anymore. Seeing that, that comment made me sad, he then said, that is why you are about to have a new one. 
It was a fun time had by all. We got home very late for a boy who decided to skip his nap earlier in the day. My son tries to skip his nap about once a week, and it is making his mommy very worried. For at least another year I will have the rule he has to go lie down in bed and either suck his thumb or read books. He didn't want a nap one day, and I knew he was tired so I told him he just had to do one for a few minutes, he was out for 3 hours after that. By the way, I'm not trying to force him to be a baby, he cries way too much for either of his parents to effectively deal with him if he doesn't take a nap, or at least go lie down and suck his thumb.

Away
As my Statcounter.com report indicated, I have been away. I have not only been busy, I have been too tired to upload pictures. Considering all that has happened in the last week or so, I have lots of pictures to explain events, but I've been too tired to upload. So now that I am back expect lots of pictures posts for a few days. That will be a relief for any of you who think this blog is too wordy.
I really have been too tired, you know you are tired when people keep asking you if you are ok. Normally its kind of annoying to hear people ask you are you ok? but it was a relief to know I wasn't just being a whiner, and I truly was tired. I may normally look tired, but people don't normally ask me if I'm tired.
On a side note, I made a political discovery. Who I would vote for if I vote for one of the major candidate, but I'll keep that a secret. My grandfather says, he is going to write himself in for President, and put me as VP. I replied to him, sounds good, you probably have about the same amount of experience of McCain, (I assume they are both around the same age)(I base his experience on the book) and I have probably more National political experience than Palin since I have an undergrad in Polsci. (Sounds harsh I know, but I don't see her as having any experience at all that, that would help as VP.)
