Man's Best Friend???

So I am laying in bed this morning and my cell phone rings...It's my dear husaband Blake...The conversation went as follows:

Martha "Hey"

Blake "Sooo...Don't freak out but...I was attacked by a dog this morning at work."

Martha "What?!!! Are you okay?!!!"

Blake "Yes but I am going to need stitches. I am taking the rest of the day off and I have to go get my arm sewed up. Don't worry though, I beat the dog half to death."

Yes, readers...True story...Blake puts the chemicals in pools for a living and this morning when he tried to go through the gate of a customer, he was mauled by "man's best friend." Luckily he was able to get the fence door back between him and the beast (I know the dog is trained to protect the family and Blake was "intruding" but I am still very upset at the dumb thing, maybe the pregnant emotions coming out again.) He was bit on the back and the arm. His back just has nasty scratches but his arm was literally ripped open! He had to get stitches and everything! MY POOR SWEETHEART!!! I feel so bad for him...The things he does to provide for our family...I really admire and love the guy...This picture makes me so sad...

Look at that face!!! My poor baby!!!

Okay so I was jumping around from site to site on the internet today, looking at baby stuff and reading up on prenatal development and things and I stumbled across this picture. Yes, I can relate. YES I almost wet my pants laughing. And YES I LOVE IT!!! That's all :)

Man-cation

The weekend before last weekend, LaVerl Crosby took Wade, Blake, Tanner, and Kemp Hamblin on a man-cation...You know, like a vacation, but for the men-folk. I went home to Eagar with my mom and had a vacation of my own but I didn't really take pictures because I did boring girl things ;) So here are some sweet pictures of the guys and all the fun they had at Roosevelt!

What a stud!

Random Post

These are just some random things that we have been up to lately...

Blake took apart his binoculars and found a new way to make Martha giggle profusely...

We take pictures of how fat Martha is getting...Woowoo look at that baby grow!

We get bored and do random things like make matching hemp bracelets.

We decided we wanted frozen hot chocolates last night and didn't feel like going to Dairy Queen...SOOO...Martha made them!!! That's right...Two years at Dairy Queen is bound to pay off in some way or another...mmm...

So I am finally getting around to posting pictures of Blake's birthday. We had lots of fun! We did things a little backwards and opened presents when I came home for lunch from work.

A new hat from Jake Hamblin. Thanks Jake! After work we went out to Olive Garden for dinner and then watched a movie, both compliments of gift cards from Wade and Nanette. Thank you sooo much! After the movie we came home and had birthday pumpkin pie, at Blake's request :)


Made a wish and blew out the candles!

Sweet Miscommunications

So Blake and I went home to Eagar to visit this last weekend (pictures and details will be posted tomorrow.) Last night as we were driving back to Mesa we had quite a variety of conversations. We like to turn down the radio and just talk each other's ears off when we travel and there is some serious duscussion but mostly fun and laughter. We didn't hit the road until about 6:15 in the pm and the later it gets, the more my brain slows down, keep that in mind as you read some of the following conversations. These are only a few of the sweet miscommunications we had:

Talking about one of our friends,
M "I feel really bad for her. I wished she could have married someone like you or Denver."
B "You wish she was my wife instead of you?!!!"
M "OH MY GOSH NO!!! I wish she could have married someone AS NICE AS you and Denver."

Later in the trip,

M "Do we have any water in here? I feel sick and I really need a drink."
B "There is water in the back of the truck."
M "Oh well, we are almost home and I don't want to pull over. I can wait."
B "You wanna steer?"
Now at this point I am thinking he thinks that steering will help me feel like I am driving and eliminate the sick feeling in my tummy.
M "I am not car sick, I felt like this on the way up to Eagar too. I think it's just because I am
dehydrated."
B starts to recline his seat and take off his seat belt.
B "You wanna steer?"
I am now starting to get agitated and I start to try to explain it to him again. I sounded pretty grouchy so B interupts,
B "YOU WANNA STEER?!"
Finally I sort of catch on and take the wheel and Blake leans in the back and reaches through the back window of the truck and grabs me a bottle of water. We both go off and say things like "Well you didn't have to get mad at me" and such. We then realize the absurdity of the situation and bust up laughing. We agree that I am a severe space cadet and I always misinterpret what Blake says and then get mad at HIM for it. I had to agree with this because it had happened SEVERAL times this trip and COUNTLESS times since we have been together.

Not even one full minute later. We are talking about Blake's mom and some fun things that had happened over the weekend.
B "I never realized how short my mom is."
I am thinking "Well she has a spunky personality but it's not like she is snippy or mean." Still trying to put the pieces together and figure out why B would make such a random jab at his mom. He interupts my thoughts:
B "We are both so much taller than she is."
M "OOOOOOHHH I see what you are saying.
Once again we start laughing and I explain what I first thought and we laugh even harder.

After all is said and done, the drive was pleasant and the consensus was made that I am a total space cadet

Happy Birthday Blake!!!
