Gramma Bunny and Crampa Meal

This past weekend we were so blessed to have my mom and dad come and stay with us. (In case the title throws you off- their names are Bonnie and Neil)
The play opened Friday so they came up for that, but stayed until Sunday. We had so much fun with them. Thank you for coming!!!!

It took Tianna about 2 1/2 minutes after they arrived to drag my dad up to see her bedroom and read her a story. It was priceless!!

Tianna sure loves her Grandparents (BOTH SETS) She's a lucky girl to have so many people who love her so much!

We are looking forward to the Peacock side to come visit this weekend! YAY FOR THE PLAY because it gets us visitors!!!!

A weekend in the Peacock home

The show is opening this weekend! YAYA! The best part is that I won't have rehearsal's Tue-Saturday anymore! I'm grateful they don't hold them on Monday's, but the whole Friday night and Saturday thing has been pretty stinky! I'm really looking forward to all of our fabulous company that's coming to see the show! My mom and dad are coming Friday!!!

Saturday I took some fun photo's of the group. Don't mind the evil eyes-- most of the pics were taken in complete darkness, therefore resulting in major RED-EYE.

We awesome wives getting ready in the dressing room!


What do ya know? My purse and my costume are identical colors!


Aren't our outfits TO DIE FOR?! ha


Joseph, and 3 bodacious babes
Poor Devry-- we took about 6 pictures and her eyes were shut in every one.


GO-GO-GO Joseph costumes! Oh, if I could just fit into one of the actual Go-Go girl costumes. That darn belly just wouldn't have it! hahahah Actually, I really like my dress, it just isn't the best picture of it!


Now, for the real STAR of our life--Tianna!!

She was going to her very first friend birthday party last Friday. She was so excited and had a ton of fun. She is quite the little social-bug!

Luke and I had a pretty good scare the other night. We saw the most frightening movie EVER!
It was:

I actually loved the movie... but it was a scary glimpse into the life of Tianna Mary Peacock in 20 years! Rabecca Bloomwood reminded us both of our daughter! We have daily battles with her about what she's going to wear because she always wants to wear her nice dresses and she's so picky about EVERY article that goes onto her body. We walk through a clothing store and her eyes get huge and she runs from rack to rack looking at everything, saying "oh that's budiful!!!" I swear, Luke and I both said the exact same thing after the movie. "Tianna is going to be just like her!"

(hopefully without all of the lying and debt) but definately with a love of fashion and clothes!

One last picture thing to add to my incredibly long post: We took these last night-- She does the funniest things sometimes.


And a closer look:

Talk about a bed fit for a princess!

Better choose my words wisely Next Time

In my post about Valentines/President's weekend I made a mistake. Underneath the picture of me holding a big gun and looking angry I put something about not shooting the "Bazooka" and Luke quickly informed me that gun is NOT a BAZOOKA- it's practically a pea-shooter. Now, since those words are written in bold, they stand out, causing him to shake his head whenever he looks at the blog. So. Next time I'll have to consult the man of da house before hand.

Anyway---
In further news, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" opens on March 6th. Since I posted about it when we auditioned IN OCTOBER, most of you have no idea that I've been in a play the past 5 months.. ... really, a long time.
But I must say, it's been a good experience and it's greatly helped me get through long months of winter and pregnancy. I do need to make a shout-out to Luke for his support and for taking care of Tianna when I have rehearsals. With his schedule this semester it hasn't been easy and I really appreciate him!!!

The show is at the Old Barn Community Theatre and it runs from March 6-28th, every Fri, Sat, and Monday at 7:30 and on the 14th and 21st there are matinee's at 2:00.

It's going to be a great show and the "Barn" is a very family friendly environment so anyone in the Logan area (or whoever else is interested) it's a GREAT FAMILY ACTIVITY and it's quite cheap. If you want to come, you'll need to reserve tickets SOON... by calling 435-458-BARN (2276). For more info- check out www.oldbarn.org

Picture Tag

I don't often do tags, but this picture one is fun. Go to your 6th file and pull the 6th pic.

This is Tianna in Rock Springs visiting her G-Ma and G-Pa in October 2007. It was one of the first "piggie-hair" days. I miss those days..... ya know the ones- when they don't have enough hair to really fix but you sure try. Then by the time they do have enough to fix...and fix it cute... they won't leave it in. Yeah.. we're totally there. So my little ragged-muffin walks around most days brushing her bangs out of her eyes. *sigh*

Don't forget to check out my last post. Now that it doesn't show on your blog rolls you might not have seen it.

I tag... Jana, Monica, Tori, Courtney, Joy, Shannon, Bethany... um... ANYONE who wants to!

Happy Snowride, Valentines Day, and President's Day

What a great weekend! I loved that all three of these events happened at the same time-which made for a nice long weekend with our families. We miss them so much but it's really hard for us to make it down for visits when it's just a regular weekend. So tack on an extra day, and oh baby, we're there!!

We started off with the annual Scofield Snowride which the Frandsen family attends faithfully. This year was interesting though- so many of us that usually go on the ride couldn't because we've got buns in the ovens or had little babies to take care of. I think less people went on the ride than stayed home-- but we met up for the lunch in the middle of the ride. But BRRRRRRRRRRRR it was cold!! We still managed to have a little fun though : )

I didn't get a picture of Luke from the ride because my frozen hands put the camera away before his group arrived at the lunch. Here is a picture of him and Tianna at our ward Klondike Derby we attended the weekend before this. There's also a picture of he and the other Elders during an event that they made look so easy-- my group had much less success! hahaha

Anyway, back to the weekend and on to our Valentine's Day. As you know from my last post, I quite enjoy this holiday....and here's why! Flowers and other cutesy things!!!! Sad to say though- we didn't have any sugar cookies, which everyone knows is a Valentine's Day staple!

Tianna and I did get these BEAUTIFUL tulip and daisy bouquet's from our wonderful Dad and Husband. He gives me a bouquet each V-Day and the past two years has gotten a mini version of mine for Tianna. This year she REAAAAALLLY loved them! He handed them to her and she just melted. He had to run upstairs right after she got them and so she turned to me and said "Oh thank you, Mommy." I explained that I didn't get them for her and she needed to tell Daddy thank you. About 5 minutes later (which is a long time for a 2 year old) she saw him and said "Daddy!!! Thank you for the fowers!!!" It was priceless!
Sadly, we had to leave our gorgeous (combined) bouquet right after we got them because we left for Scofield. She did however talk about her flowers all the way down there.

The "Smoochies" were my gift to Luke. It looks like a cereal box that I found in the card section and it has funny little kissy facts all over it. I put his gift inside which was chocolate and a CD from me and the movie "Herculese" from Tianna. Fitting movie for our HUNK! Anyway... interestingly enough, Luke got Tianna the movie, "Cars" and me a CD. Go David Archuleta! We were definately on the same wave length this year with our gift ideas!

As for how we celebrated.... well, since my whole family was together at the cabin on the 14th we decided to have a special dinner. I've recently come upon CAFE RIO recipes and so we made them. It was quite labor intensive, but the other all report was that it was a huge hit. So... it may end up being like Thanksgiving dinner-- a once a year or so thing--- but I'll be making this food again!

Next we headed down to visit the Peacock bunch. We enjoyed a nice family dinner at Grandma Peacock's house and then spent Sunday night laughing it up as we played games until way late. Yesterday we were kinda lazy but we played some more games and went shooting at a gun range.

And no I did not shoot that BAZOOKA. I just held it to make myself look tough.

A cute little story though-- Luke's dad puts on a complete facade as being a tough guy but his grandchildren melt him like a popcicle. (my dad's the same way) But I'm sure something my dad would never attempt was to take two 2 year olds to Price by himself to do some shopping and errands.... and get this-- go to McDonalds and actually go INSIDE. Before he even had a chance to ask them what they wanted to eat they were off in the playland!!! He couldn't get Tianna and Aden out to save his life... so he had to crawl up into the tubes to get them out himself! I wish I had seen that one with my own eyes!! But, needless to say, Bert easily won Tianna over. Here he is reading them stories.

Looking Forward to Valentines Day!

I never see Luke this semester-he's too busy! So I've been REEEEEALLY bored and lonely, and since he's not home right now I'll waste time blogging. I was just thinking it would be fun to write about some random memories I have of Valentines past, leading up to my first V-Day with Luke. Since this blog is my only form of journal, I feel like some of these memories (especially ones including my husband) should be recorded. So feel free to read on, or stop if you simply don't care. It's all good either way :D

I remember one year my mom had hid our cards in the pine tree next to our house. It was kind of like a scavenger hunt to find our card... and even though it was sooooooooooooo long ago I still think of that as something fun I'd like to do with my kids some day.
Another year we had made these gooey puffed-wheat treat things in the shape of bears and took them around to neighbors. I don't know why we did it that one year, but I will always remember it.... even though I don't think if I've ever even had that particular kind of dessert ever since. They must have tasted good because I remember it all these years later.

And Oh the school parties and the BELOVED Valentine boxes...making that each year was one of my favorite activities. I don't remember what my box was like in 1st grade but I do recall a really funny homemade valentine I got from a boy. It was a white sheet of paper folded in fourths and the outside was completely blank except for a little worm was drawn right in the middle. Inside the card it said "Hi, I'm Mary the Worm." Random? I think so! hahaha.. now that same boy just got home from his mission and I'm excited to hear how my other friend is likeing that ;) ;) Maybe she'll be getting a special valentine's worm card this year! :D

Anyway, when I was in 5th grade Valentines Day was on a Saturday like it will be this year, and I had 2 friends sleep over. The one girl, Monteal, had a little sister who was a little dramatic because when she left for my house she begged her not to leave her on (heaven forbid) "VALENTINE'S EVE!" Hahahah.. So it's a good thing I'll be with my hunny on Friday night! I'd hate to think of leaving him on Valentine's Eve.

Speaking of my hunny- This week 5 (gasp) years ago we started dating officially. We had been on a few dates and had been spending A LOT of time together for a couple of weeks before this. The annual Scofield Snowride was on the Saturday before Valentines's Day and I invited him to go with me. This meant, staying with my family at the cabin Friday night. (woo woo!) I was hoping he would kiss me that weekend! After all, there was the Valentine's Dance that Sat. night too... so I thought it would be the perfect weekend for such a monumental event. So, hoping it would happen that night, I was completley shocked when he kissed me that Friday afternoon in the school parking lot after Friday Forum. (not exactly the romantic setting I had invisioned.. but oh well, right?!) Funny thing is, because I didn't expect it, I moved in for a hug and he kissed my chin instead of my lips! HAHAHA...
That night though, we made up for it and had a really sweet (second first kiss) before parting ways to our bedrooms. Also that night we had the DTR [define the relationship talk] and officially became a couple. The snowride was a blast, the dance was incredible, and we danced to "Everything" by Lifehouse and the words hit me so strongly that I realized I was in love with this man..(But I was NOT ready to admit that yet)........... When he dropped me off that night he told me he loved me. He didn't get the reaction he was probably hoping for because it freaked me out. Things were happening so quickly.... so i didn't return the favor for a few more weeks. But that's a different story.

The Scofield Snowride 2005

CEU's Valentine Dance

Anyway, we celebrated our first Valentines Day together with eating dinner at a restaurant with his parents. That was the first time I met them. Later, he and I went to my sister's house and watched a movie with her and her husband. After that, we were pretty much history. It was only another month before we started talking marriage and not too long after that we got engaged. So each year at Valentines day I can't help but think of our beginning together. It actually makes Valentine's day all the sweeter.

My Camera Annoys Me!!

I tried really hard to get a good "belly picture" the day of my ultrasound or within a few days but last week was so busy it didn't happen. I was actually hoping to get a picture taken in the daylight because lately I've really noticed the quality of my indoor pictures have been HORRIBLE, especially at night. (Does anyone else have this problem?!?!) Anyway, I attempted to take a few photos by myself, but I don't know where to find the timer on my camera. So it was either hold it with one hand and take the shot or wait until dark for Luke to get home.
Another problem with that-- I always look trashed by the time he's home. So.... I didn't WANT pictures by the time he was able to take them. (Hence the picture of just my belly.)
Long story short- they are poor quality, but here ya go. ME and my Belly at 21 weeks pregnant.

Hey look! I don't look that big yet! YAY

Oh just kidding.





And since no one can take a picture in Tianna's presence without her, here's my cutie-patootie



I look huge in that picture. dang it.
