What does your name mean?

I got this website from my cousin's blog. It's kinda fun. I don't like what it says about Amy. It makes me out to be spoiled and a beast! I'm sure you would all agree I am anything but that. So, I made up my own below this one. I definately like it better.
What Amy Means
You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.
Amy....You are a strong person. You are friendly, kind, and unselfish. You tend to be very popular wherever you go. Maybe it is your stunning good looks or charming personality. You are great cook and do amazing things in the kitchen. People have told you numerous times that you should go on Americas Next Top Model, or was it Extreme Makeover? You care about your family and friends and would do anything for them. You are an outstanding wife and your husband needs to realize this. Your not a very patient person and usually want things now. You hate folding laundry and cleaning the bath tub.(hey, it can't be all good stuff)

Heavyweight Champ

Eli had his 4 month check-up today and he weighed in at a whopping 18 lbs. 1 oz. Happy to report that with that weight there are no know medical problems. He's not considered to be "obese." We took some pics of Eli "knocking out" Mason and Camden. We are so proud. Eli with his dukes up
Yet another picture of the kids on the recliner. It's the only descent place to take pictures in the apartment.Daegan and I usually put the kids to bed and take pictures of eachother. It's super fun. Try and beat this excitement. We decided to play a little dress up. Ladies, I'm sure Daegan would be willing to lend this outfit for your husband. For a price.

FAT FREE = TASTE FREE

So I was at the grocery store the other day and wanted some bagels with cream cheese. I picked out my bagels (everything bagel) then headed for the cream cheese. Well, I decided since I was getting enough fat and calories from the bagel I would choose the less fattening cream cheese. Even though I'm sure most of you think I look pretty good and can eat what I want.................your right. I decided to buy fat free cream cheese. It can't be that different, right? W-O-W. It was disgusting. It got me thinking about low calorie/fat free foods that don't taste different than the regular. Whenever I buy 1/2 the fat or fat free anything Daegan throws a fit. We can't all be tall and thin and eat whatever we want without gaining a pound. No, I'm not talking about myself. First on the list of course is....
Fat Free Cream Cheese My friend made me some french toast with egg beaters and they weren't very tasty. She agreed with me so I don't feel bad saying so. She has yet to redeem herself.
I have alson tried this oatmel before. Again, how different can it be?
The cream cheese also got me thinking about generic foods. I'm not against buying generics. It saves a lot of money. I don't love Mac & Cheese but I will eat it. It has to be Kraft though. Generic Mac & Cheese is just nasty. And the real stuff is delicious. haha
If you have tried a fat free or generic item that you loved/hated let me know. In the future, just buy the good, fattening cream cheese.

All About Camden

I have been dreading the whole potty-training thing for awhile now. Mason was so easy and Camden is so stubborn and usually does the opposite of whatever I want her to do. Well, to my surprise she has done so good! She is very proud of herself too. She wants to go all the time because I make such a big deal whenever she goes. Poor Mason is saying "But mom, I use the bathroom too, why don't I get treats?" We have been telling her when she goes #2 she will get this princess bike she has been wanting for awhile. As soon as she went (at Cindy's house) she said "I guess I get to go get my princess bike now." So, when Daegan got home from school we were off to Wal-mart. I tried to talk her into the non-princess bike because it was $20 cheaper. That didn't fly.
Camden loves to be recorded and then watch it after. So here she is singing. We usually do some Brittany and Fergie but decided to keep it primary related. She started sunbeams last week. She loved it. I 'm not sure if its because Deagan was subbing her class or because her best buddy and future husband Zach is in there with her.

New Years Eve....a week later

Now that we 2008 has been here for a week it's time to put up some pics of our fun, fun party. I am mainly doing this for me so when I look back I will remember where we were. Assuming I am still blogging then. (not that I would forget CB...it was awesome!) We went over to some friends in our ward who had all the dental students that were remaining here in PA for the holidays. We ate, and ate, did some karaoke, and ate somemore. Thanks again for a fun time Bringhurst's! Oh, and I won an Eagles Jersey. Thanks Blaine!
Me and the sister....I love her!
Nate and Ginnie
Everyone who was there to bring in the new year.

Good music...Good times

Okay, Okay. I won't mention any names (Justin and Bonnie) but some people have been giving me a hard time about my music on the blog. If you have seen the movie "Enchanted" you will appreciate it. And come on, the theme song from "Cheers." Awesome.<

Twins

No, I am not expecting twins. Daegan and I were looking through some old pictures and we came across Mason's baby pictures. We were amazed at how much him and Eli looked alike as babies. I mean, it shouldn't be that big of a shock. They both came from the same two people. At least we think...tests are still being done. I love my red headed boys! Mason's blessing day
