Dr. Mario

Jay and I were able to play with our adorable niece Anilyn today while her parents went to Spokane to go to the Temple. Jay decided it was time to teach her how to play Dr. Mario. She did great once she figured out how to move the little joystick around and around. Then she decided Jay's must be better and climbed up on his lap to take over. He's going to make a great Dad one day.

Relaxful

Disclaimer: Jade, before you rush to my comments and tell me relaxful isn't a word, please read on.

My wonderful husband has this theory that every person is allowed to make up one word a day. Once the word is made up it magically appears in some dictionary and he thinks he is allowed to use it from then on. This drove me crazy the first few months of our marriage. He would say a word and I would inform him it wasn't a word. Turns out he had made it up years ago and thus it was a word. Last night as I was saying our prayers I thanked Heavenly Father for a "wonderful relaxful evening." After we were through Jay started giving me crap about that not being a word. Thankfully someone had made it up centuries ago and thus I was allowed to use it.

Winner

It's true. I am a winner. Every morning on my way to work I listen to ZFUN, a radio station here in town. Every morning they do "Pop the question" I try to win but can never get through. Today was my day. The question "One in four Americans have one of these" I started thinking. What do I have that others don't? Couldn't come up with anything so I reversed it. What do others have that I don't? I thought I had an idea so I called. Busy. I kept calling and it rang! Now normally I get so excited I hang up but today I actually stayed on the line. "ZFUN, can you pop the question?" "Is it a tatoo?" "YES!" I think they were shocked that a genius had called in. Normally they have to give two clues before they get the correct answer. I must have run out of my five minutes of fame during my TV years and my brief stint in radio because they forgot to record my answer. Oh well. I won movie tickets and a 1 gig thumb drive. Woot woot!

Perfect Day

Today is a perfect day. It has to be. I slept in a little, which I totally shouldn't have done. I looked out the window and the sun was actually shining! I got ready for work and my hair actually looks cute for once. I was able to wear capri's because it's actually nice outside and I got some laundry done. All this before I even left for work. Then when I walked out the door the birds were chirping, the temperature was perfect and I was in a good mood, all because the sun was shining. On my way to work I saw the above seen. A beautiful blue sky, a vibrant green field on our rolling hills and a bright yellow crop duster. The colors were so amazing together. Then a few miles later I saw three deer grazing on the Palouse (it's what the rolling hills are called here). It was like a musical. I was ready for the birds to start singing and a parade to start coming through town. I am so ready for summer. This weekend it is supposed to get up to 89! Fa la la la la. So today is perfect. I hope it stays that way.

Some More Please!

We made these delicious cupcakes last night. Talk about melt in your mouth. I will never buy frosting again or make another type of frosting. These are S'more cupcakes. Chocolate cupcake, marshmallow frosting, graham cracker crumbs and piece of chocolate on top. The frosting is delicious! I found the recipe here.

Mother's Day Shout Out

This was my little angel for the weekend. My dear friend Jade and her husband Ben went on their long over due honeymoon. This meant that Jay and I got their daughter Tonnelle for the weekend. It was great. However with Mother's Day happening on the same weekend it made me think a lot about moms. I realized what a sacrifice women make by having children. Don't get me wrong, I want kids, a lot of them. But I realized how hard it is being a mother. You don't get to sleep in whenever you want. You can't have a completely spotless house. It takes a lot longer to run errands. It's hard going to restraunts. You can't be spontaneous.
Thankfully I have a good husband. We were getting ready to go to his parents house and I had baby in hand and was walking out the door. He said "Don't you need a bottle?" Oh, right. Check. I can't just feed her Doritoes at your parents house. So we were off again. Baby and bottle in hand. Then he said, "Don't you need a diaper?" This is when I got upset. Not with him but with myself. I am supposed to be the responsible one. Why was a such a space case at this instance.
I don't know if I am ready to be a parent but then I hold a baby and my heart melts and I know I am ready, at least in a year I will be ready.

My Name

I found this site on someones blog. I am the only Camille Rigby in the United States (according to their website). I checked on my maiden name, Camille Croft and there are only 3 of us. I always knew I was a unique individual.

Date Night

My dearest friend Kristi and I have standing every other Thursday date night. It's called K and C date night. We had a fantabulous time last night. We hit Casa for lots of food, Hastings for a chick flick (Bed of Roses, much better 10 years ago) and then Chill Box (great new place in town) for Ferdinands ice cream! Thanks K, see ya in 2 weeks for the usual.

Seattle

We had a great weekend, last weekend... wow, I am really on top of things.

We were in Seattle visiting with Jay's family. We went to have one last hoo-rah with his older brother Andy, before Andy is deployed for a year. We went to the Woodland Zoo and it was a-mazing! There was a monkey actually picking his nose

and then eating it. It was so weird, I've heard they do that but never had I seen it before. We ate at wonderful restraunts and had some great family bonding time. Jay left on Sunday with his Dad and I stayed until Tuesday for some work meetings. The hotel I moved to was TINY, not small priced, small roomed. No joke, in order to use the bathroom I had to go into the shower, shut the door to the bathroom and then find the toilet. They called the room a "cozy queen" and they weren't kidding. I had a nice time though in downtown Seattle. It made me realize that I missed my husband and didn't like being in a big city by myself, which is weird since that is the life I once pictured.
