Crafts,Easter and More

Well I've kind of been a slacker lately on my posts but I have been busy spring cleaning, packing, and with easter it just was a lot going on. First off Happy Birthday to MaryJane Griffin!! My oldest sister turned 30 yesterday and though she was a little blue about it, I don't know why she looks great for 30 and doesn't seem to age at all. Quick story when I was about 5 I remember fighting with a sibling and my dad asking me if I wanted to be a troublemaker or a peacemaker like my sister MaryJane. I always thought she was so nice (and I was right) but those terms sounded like some kind of baker to me so I remember always looking at her to see why she didn't have a chef's hat on if she was a peacemaker. I still want to be like my sister because she is so kind and caring.

So we had craft day last Thursday and I finished my pillows here is the final product they will go with the black/white crib bedding.I also finished her dress it was made with left over material from the bedding It wasn't as cute as I wanted it to be but i can honestly say I made her some clothes :) Next week's project is just finishing some loose ends on the bumper pad. I would like to refinish a dresser soon. I want to make it into a changing table and also do something with the bottom dresser drawer kinda like this picture but a smaller dresser and in white

Easter was fun Tyson was so cute he didn't really understand but he likes getting candy. I had spent 2 hours on Saturday preparing for my nursery lesson because it was the fish one and I think everyone remembers playing the fishing game. I had made poles for all the kids and I had used contact paper and magnets to make it work. The kids would be able to take a couple fish home and their pole. Unfortunately someone had messed with our clock and it was 20 minutes off so I kept wondering why these parents were picking up the kids so early and never realized that church was over. I was bummed but I guess I can do it next week. I think I'll take pics because it might be our last week.

We are moving! I bawl almost every night thinking about leaving Tyson because it will never be the same again. Daniel tells me it wouldn't be the same anyways when my baby comes and I know he's right but I can't imagine not seeing him every single day. I'm being silly because we are only moving to Hurricane and it is for the best. With LaRae's baby coming and mine it would be pretty hectic around here. Also we are moving in with Daniel's Aunt Roma Ann. All of her kids are out of the house (well one will be in the marines mid-april) and she is a widower. I know her kids were a little worried about her being alone and we love her and had discussed moving in with her because she'll have 4 empty rooms. We asked how she felt about it and about having a baby in the house and she said "Are you kidding, I would love it" She has one recently married daughter but no grandkids yet and loves those little ones. Daniel is really excited because it is right by where he grew up and loves that land. We also get to take our dog, which makes Daniel so excited! I just look forward to a little more space but sure appreciate everything that LaRae and Adam have done, I just hope that the 5 min drive isn't to far from my Tyson boy

Happy Birthday!!!!

So here is a picture of the birthday girl! Any guesses who it may be? I think it's one of the only times she ever had lipstick on but she never really needed makeup. She is 60 today and one of the most amazing people I know! A little bit about her she comes from a big family 12 kids but one died when he was 2. Her parents were named Walter and Lillie and both have passed away. She grew up in the Boise, Idaho area. She went on a mission to Italy. She also went and taught English in Kuwait and has seen much of that area including Saudi Arabia and Egypt. She has always taught in some way or another. She married when she was 28 to a man named William in the beautiful Logan temple. She had 9 kids and only has one left at home. She loves kids and is a kindergarten teacher. She also is a foreign ex-change student coordinator. I'm sure you've all guessed who this "Grandma" is but just in case here's the clincher: She loves strawberries and has a strawberry farm that grows the best darn berries I've ever tasted. And she is the kindest woman I know, of course since she's my mom I might be a little biased. She is so unselfish and I know isn't celebrating her big day so happy birthday mom I hope it is a good day and that your hip feels better. I am so excited to see my mom when LaRae has her baby and my mom said she'll be there a couple weeks later when I go through that same thing. I really want her there if nothing more than for comic relief, (since my mom's pain tolerance rivals superman's I'll try to be strong if she's there) of course since my sister Clara wants to come I may be laughing so hard I'll never be able to concentrate:)(here is all 9 of us)Here are her grandkids, since this picture there is one more girl. And by the end of May she will have another grandson and another granddaughter.

Well this week has been good, I had an eye doctor appointment and Daniel is picking up my driving glasses today. It has been so sunny here and yesterday I swear it was 80 degrees. Daniel and I went for a walk this morning with Tyson and our dog. Oh, and in case you were wondering he loved my hair!! We have craft day today so I'm excited! My brother wanted me to post some pictures of our dog Maveric, she has gotten huge. It was warm enough last week to give her a bath so I snapped a photo of her in our truck. She is an excellent retriever and loves playing fetch. So here is some pics of her waiting for Daniel to throw and her snatching that ball up. She sure can be fun!

Makeover

So I decided that I needed a change... I hadn't got a haircut since August, I know gross right? Well it's not easy when you don't have a vehicle and don't know anyone or the salons, besides the fact that even a great clips haircut down here costs as much as my Rhonda Johnston Reflections cut and there was no way I was going to pay as much for some bad hair cut when compared to what Rhonda gave. So I was biding my time until the right one came along or Daniel's cousin Alana came down from beauty school to do it. But it was getting out of control not to mention being pregnant I haven't treated it very nicely and haven't done my eyebrows in who knows how long? So i started with a trip to JC Penney Salon for an eyebrow wax (they always do a great detailed job) Here is some before picks of my hair and sorry it might scare you but a close up of the eyebrows.
I know, I know they're awful but it just took too much effort before! Well I came out about a pound less (he he) and shaped brows. That just started the ball rolling I had met a really cute girl from Stephanie's play date who Steph said did hair and it was only $10, I might have been hasty but the girl had cute hair and sometimes that's all you got to go on. So today after craft day (see older posts, and I almost finished my pillow :) I had an appointment. Stephanie took me so she could watch the lady's kids while she cut my hair. Daniel told me don't do anything drastic or chop it off (you might not be able to tell by the previous pics because it's always tied back but my hair was to my shoulders) well Daniel might be surprised when he gets home let's just hope he's not mad :) Here is a pic of my after eyebrows and my new haircut. I like it and it's an easy style which I needed.
My main reason for this whole thing besides needing it done was it hit me how awful I was going to look after giving birth and if there is anything at all that could help me feel at least a little bit human it would be an easy style hair cut and clean face!! And also it feels like summer here and I've been feeling good walking alot and doing more things, craving fruit like mad!!!, that this just completes the feel good after winter of course if I was about 40 pounds lighter I would feel even better but that is just going to have to wait until after May!

Quick story about pregnancy: I woke up this morning to go to the bathroom around 7:00 and got out of bed but put all my weight on one leg, I swayed and then lost my balance and fell back on the bed, it scared Daniel to death, and I would have been bawling if the bed hadn't caught me cause I came down hard but I just started laughing hysterically and saying "Timber"! It actually made my day but then anytime you can wake up laughing is usually a good day.

Tyson Time: Tarek came this past week with girl scout cookies :) and the weather was so beautiful. One morning he went out and got some willow branches and started widdling a bow and arrow for Tyson (I think Daniel and Tarek liked it more) he also made a Tyson this crown and let me just say "All Hail Caesar" he was so cute with it on. Tyson and I went to the park and on a walk this week, also I took him after craft day with me to get my hair cut and we stopped by McDonald's because Tippy (Steph's little girl) and him hadn't eaten. We got them Chicken Nuggets and this was Tyson's first real taste of them (I say real because finding one on the playground and eating it doesn't count) He ate so many of them kept asking for more, looks like LaRae will have to buy a bag of Tyson's Chicken Nuggets :)

Modest Swim

I don't work for them but I love their clothes, especially their swimwear!! I got a modbe swimsuit (my mom actually bought it) a couple of summer's ago and I love it. Of course working at camp K and swimming every day kind of wore it out it's still cute, but the new line is awesome and I especially love this one. They last! But it is smart to get them when it's the winter clearance, still anyone looking for a super cute suit should check out this link... I'm just hoping I can lose enough weight after the baby to even think about getting in one:) www.modbeclothing.com

Weekend gone wrong

Well my fun filled weekend took a drastic turn Friday afternoon. I started feeling a little sick so I took a late nap, when I woke up it was worse my stomach hurt so bad I called Daniel crying wishing he was home (kinda like when your sick and want your mommy, well a husband will do if she's not there:), LaRae and Adam were getting the spare bedroom ready for Adam's old mission companion who was passing through. I decided to buck up and help out even though I though cooking dinner would be the last of me. I just kept feeling like I was going to throw up but I stuck it out and we had lots of visitors, finally I couldn't handle any more and thought a bath would be nice so I took one and then even though it was early I went to bed... it was a pretty horrible night and I threw up a couple times the next day. So I was sick Saturday and Daniel was a sweetie he set up a chair for me outside and I sat in the warm sun while he worked on the baby's cradle refinishing it in a dark stain. I wasn't able to stay out to long only about an hour or so, but it was nice and Tyson (with his new butched hair cut had fun playing outside) I snapped a picture of my toes because Daniel painted them for me on Wednesday (so cute of him!!!) my cousin's little girl points at them and says "Susie toe's pretty", and then there is Tyson who points at them and says "Owiee's" the difference between boys and girls :) Anyways I was still sick Sunday and feeling even worse because my cousin Stephanie had caught the bug and was now in bed. Sunday night I sucked it up and went to my in-laws for my mother-in-laws birthday I even ate some potatoes. I was feeling a little better and last night and this morning I feel like a new person! Okay well actually the same old person just without the flu bug. I'm just mad because it happend on the weekend and it could have happened next weekend when I have to give a talk!! Well hopefully this week will go better than the last!!

Craft Day

So my sister-in-law Heidi Stout use to work for alterations and is pretty handy when it comes to sewing,quilts, etc. (She's the blond w/the twin girls, and my cousin Stephanie is shown with her daughter) anyways we decided to have a craft day just to come to her house and work on projects. LaRae is working on a jean quilt for Adam, Stephanie wants to do a rag quilt for her daughter, and I'm working on baby stuff. Heidi's been a big help with just explaining some things and letting us use scraps, etc. So yesterday was our first day and I took the crib material that I wanted to make my bumper with and just made a cover to recover a bumper Heidi let me use. I was really happy how it turned out, and just need to make the ties for it. The plan is white sheets, white painted crib, this bumper a faux fur black blanket and just to appease my sister Lillie a couple of pink/black pillows. I'll post when I get it all done. I had extra material which I'm planning on making a t-shirt dress (probably the easiest thing I could make) for the baby. I also made some headbands for her but wanted to see them on a baby and Stephanie had little Gaige there so he was the model... his dad wasn't to happy with me but I will say Gaige would make a sweet little girl.

Sorry Gaige!!

Anyways I'm really excited to finish some projects and hope I can do them the next couple weeks. Well it's my mother-in-laws birthday this weekend and we get to meet Daniel's older sister's boyfriend, Steph and I might go to the yard sales, and I might work a few hours at Red Rock Rails (my 2nd cousins business) so it should be a fun, full weekend and I should be able to get a good post. Oh, here is a not so cute picture of me, but it was taken a few weeks ago to show my size :(

A day of Mud

So we went to Smith's Mesa today, the Stout family own about 400 acre's on top and it overlooks Zion National Park and is also a pretty good four wheelin' place. All the snow had just melted so it was muddy but we went to the ball tag arena which is a place they play a game of tag with a ball on four wheeler's, it's a fun game for experienced riders with a big flat bowl and then different outlets into the trees where they chase eachother. When we first got there we grilled hotdogs and had dutch oven potatoes, it was yummy then after helping a "trespasser" truck who got stuck in a nearby field the girls turned our chairs to watch the action of ball tag. There was a time when I would have played but fourwheelers aren't easy on the pregnant. Well here is some pictures of the boys muddy faces, Tarek came up and he has a little something on those teeth. Daniel's cute face!!!

Well at least Adam's teeth are white!

look at this view!!Daniel and Josh playing ball tag!! Cute Bum Hon

Catch Up

I just haven't had any pictures to post lately even though I take my camera with me I just forget! Well this past week has been pretty fun.

2 Sundays ago it was Daniel's cousin's Bryce Hastings farewell. He is going to the Ventura, CA mission. We are excited because we know that area pretty well and were planning a trip down to San Luis Obispo this year, maybe he'll be there :). Lots of the family was down and it was fun to visit with everyone. Tuesday I found out that my friend Lyndsey "Ace" Proctor and her family were coming down to their St. George condo, they're from Park City and wanted to get away from the snow. When I worked at camp I went to church with Ace and then had dinner at her family's every Sunday, they became like family that summer and I am always excited to see them. Another camp friend Hayley "Comet" Coombs lives in St. George so it is fun when some of us can get together. Daniel took me with him to St. George to meet them for lunch

I'm so glad that Daniel gets along with them!!

Here is Mama and Papa Proctor and Ace

As you can see it was pretty sunny so I hope they had fun. They stayed until Thursday. I went with Daniel to class on Wednesday and then met up with Comet, we picked Daniel up from class and then went to pick up Chinese food courtesy of the Proctors and we went back to their condo to hang out. All the Proctor's are musical especially Papa who sounds like James Taylor and he sang a few songs on request, then Ace's little brother Andy picked up the guitar and played us a few songs one he even wrote it was fun! Comet and Ace both tried feeling the little girl kick but she was sure being shy.

It was so fun to see them and I miss them already! Friday we had a ward activity that was really fun. They had people sign up as hosts to host a dinner at their houses then they matched up couples to go to dinner depending on how many people the hosts said they could have... we then were called by the coordinator who told us which house we were eating out, then the host called and asked us to bring something. LaRae and Adam went to a house where 18 people were, we went to one with 6 but we got to know people and then we met back at the church building for games and dessert. It was really fun and the coordinator said at her old ward they did it once a month... I was glad to meet some people in a non-church environment especially since we are in the nursery and don't get to meet very many people. Saturday was Daniel and my childbirth class, it was long but we learned about correct breathing, and labor techniques plus nursing tips and we had a hospital tour. I am getting excited for her to come especially since my back has become a huge problem with sleeping. That night my friend Comet let us borrow her 3 seasons of the office, we have to skip a few of them but most of them are hilarious! Sunday we had our family dinner out at the flat, and Daniel's sister Shelley and her husband Cody was there I had seen Cody's sister on T.V (She started the company Stampin Up and was teaching about some new products. LaRae and I were shocked about how big Shelley has got since the last time we saw her... she's carrying twins and is so cute. It was a fun week!!!

Tagged

My friend from Camp K Amy Larsen AKA River tagged me to do this... so here it goes!
1. 10 years ago: I was in jr. high worrying about social status's, early morning basketball practice's and what I was going to wear the next day. I was 14. 2. 5 things on my to-do-list today:I am going to do laundry, help take care of sick Tyson boy, get our truck registered, go visit my cousin, and make dinner.3. Snacks I enjoy: Baked Cheetos, SoBe Lemonade (very hard to find), cheese sticks, and Lofthouse cookies. 4. Things I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Pay bills, and Daniel's way to medical school, get a nice car.Remodel my parents house and my in-laws house.... Go on trips and of course save some money.5. Three of my bad habits: 1. Shop :) 2. Jump to conclusions 3. Sleep in 6. Places I have lived: Adrian, OR; Rexburg, Idaho; Dublin, CA; Vacaville, CA; Santa Maria, CA; Provo, UT; Salt Lake, UT; La Verkin, UT 7. Jobs I have had: Farm hand, babysitter, secretary for I-Satellite, and Anything Wireless, various positions at BYU-I Rec Sports.

Things people don't know about me: I read really fast... if a book is interesting give me a couple hours and I'm finished, unless it is really really long I once read 10 books in one week. I can pick a flat of strawberries in under 20 minutes. I know how to recesitate a baby lamb (don't ask), I want to learn everything about photography, I love to cook! And finally only the people who have shared a sleeping place with me (you know who you are) knows that I never let an alarm clock get to it's second buzz before I jump out of bed to get it...or now elbow my husband to get up!

Happy V-Day

Well Happy Valentines Day everyone. I always loved this day because it's a nice thought that you have a whole day set apart to remind you to tell people you love them and appreciate them. I took the opportunity to send my two sisters in college some flowers. Clara and Lillie are great and I miss them alot. Clara has just made a decision to go on a mission and Lillie is pretty sick with some kind of flu so I know that it's fun to get flowers delivered anytime but especially today and it doesn't matter if they're from a secret admirer or not so I hope they enjoy them. I also got Daniel a gift not much but a backpack (he's been using my old one), some candy, and new basketball shorts (he's been playing early mornings and needed some new ones). Daniel woke me up this morning and told me that he had planned on getting me a motherhood massage but this week was a little tight with truck payments due so I was glad he'd thought better of it and he told me instead that he was going to set a timer and give me an hour long massage... I'm not quite sure he can do it that long but he's going to try and I'm happy because my back has been killing me especially at night and if he doesn't try to work some kinks out of it before I go to sleep I usually wake up every hour in some sort of pain, so I hope he's serious about my gift. We also purchased tickets about 3 weeks ago to go with family to the Leahy concert in St. George. I guess they are suppose to be incredible. They are comparable to the Duttons but everyone says they are way better. Here is a picture and a description of their show.

"The eight brothers and sisters of the band Leahy perform a beguiling brew of Celtic and country music, full of high spirits, toe-tapping tunes, energetic step-dancing and instrumental virtuosity. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Leahy keeps Celtic music vital in the 21st century. The oldest brother Donnell, one of the best fiddlers in the world, and the rest of his talented clan were turning heads even before they were hand-picked to open for Shania Twain on her 1999 world tour."

So hopefully it will be fun! The boys are working all day and we decided just to make dinner here. I have been experimenting with different marinades so hopefully tonights Lemon and Rosemary chicken, and apricot pork will be yummy with potatoes. I know I'll have fun no matter what because it will be nice to get out and do something!!

Well I want to say Happy Birthday to Denise (Adams) and J.D. Bowns, I hope they have a wonderful day and speaking of twins my mother-in-law had 2 sets of twins right in a row and the boy/girl set Sheldon (who is married to my cousin Sara Ann McDonald), and Shelley (who this past year got married to Cody Goodfellow and became a second mother to his 3 children) are both expecting about the same time in June. The funny thing is Shelley just got her ultrasound and is expecting twins!!!!! A boy and a girl we are so excited for them and hope all goes well!

The Good and the Bad

So today is kinda a sad day for me because it was my original due date. It's hard to imagine that I might already have had a baby but at the same time I can't imagine if it wasn't this baby, she's already got a personality it seems. I was putting Tyson to sleep and was singing to him and she was moving like she's never moved before I swear she was dancing. So even when I'm feeling down I think a lot of it is the time that I lost, but I'm sure the next few months will pass faster. On the brighter side of today it is one of my best and oldest friends birthdays!

Andrew Boster is turning 24 today!! I want to give a shout out to him. He always makes things more fun and I miss being able to see him and also to get to know his wife Sierra. I hope today is a great day for you.

We have been busy this week helping our cousins Caleb Steele and his family get settled in. It has been fun already having them here, LaRae was doing payroll for the company on Monday like usual and it was over 70 degrees outside and sunny so we went to Steph's house and Tyson played with Tyler and then we went to the city park. It was fun for Tyson and me. We also ran through the grass and I was telling Daniel that people at the park probably thought I was trying to do a funny run to make Tyson laugh, but the funny thing was I was dead serious. I'm sure there are some people who would pay money to watch me struggle to beat my little 20 month old nephew in a race :)

Here is a picture of Tyler (Tippy) holding her baby brother Gaige.

We sure are excited to have them around!!!

A Night Out

So I haven't posted in awhile but I just didn't have to much to tell. This past week has been fun, my cousin Caleb Steele has been staying here while he worked at a new job, he went back to SLC yesterday to pick up his family and are moving into a townhome in Hurricane. I am really excited because I love Caleb's wife Stephanie and we get along well so I am looking forward to having her around. Caleb didn't have time to check out the place they wanted so LaRae and I went to look at it, and it was a good thing because the manager didn't know that the last tenants left so much stuff there and didn't clean it. They told us they were going to clean it before Caleb and Steph moved in and take everything to the dump. The manager told us we could take anything we wanted and though we felt weird about it we got some useful stuff like a memory foam queen size mattress, some books, and other things that we will clean up. Everything was nice stuff the people just up and left it so we were laughing that we got something out of just going to look at an apartment. My cousins are coming today and will stay with us for a couple days until the apartment is cleaned up. On Thursday night I went with Daniel to his class in St. George and met up with Comet AKA Hailey Coombs from camp K. It was so fun to be with her. We went to an outdoor outlet and had fun looking for stuff for Comet's trip in May she and some of her friends are going to Havasupi (Grand Canyon hike) and she is excited. I wish I would be able to go because I have seen pictures and it is beautiful! Papa Proctor and Ace (Lindsey Proctor) are going too which make me even more jealous my only consolation is that it is a week after I have the baby and they are coming to see me! Anyways after the outdoor store we went to see one of Comets clients who was in the hospital she was really cute and sweet and reminded me of a camper I had once. Then we went to Applebees and started our 3 course dinner (the specials) I ordered for Daniel and he got there right after we started on our appetizers. It was a fun night! I Love spending time with Comet!!!!!

Fun, Fun!

So I took this picture because it was the first time in a while that Daniel and I got dressed nice, plus Daniel got a hair cut. It was Saturday night and we got to spend the entire day together while Daniel did a repair,and we spent all day Friday together too which was awesome! I wasn't feeling that great Friday night and Daniel wanted to go bowling with his friend Jimmy, I told him to go have a little boys night and he did, then they brought back the movie Dejavu with Denzel Washington, I had never seen it and it was vey interesting. It was good it's nice to hang out with Jimmy while he's here. He plays baseball for an affiliate team of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and so will be leaving when Spring training comes around. Saturday night we went to dinner with Daniel's family because his older sister Monica and her husband Doug were in town so Wynn, Phyllis, Monica, Doug, Monterey, Stuart andHeidi, LaRae and Adam, and Daniel and I went to JB's (pretty much the only restuarant in town), it was really fun, there is always good stories especially from Doug who is from South Africa about his ancestors. Plus lots of political talks. My in-laws are very active in discussing politics and I learn alot from listening.

My brother Tarek is moving and he gave Daniel and I his grill. We are so grateful because we've really wanted one. The day after we got it we came home from church and the bpys wanted to grill up some Steaks...unfortunatley I had already planned Taco Soup but they sure are excited to use it. Tarek also gave LaRae and Adam some couches and his big screen HD TV which is huge... my brother is so generous. Sunday night we went to Wynn and Phyllis's and we visited with the family like we do every Sunday, we heard the news about President Hinckley and it was hard to be too sad when Wynn says "well good for him." I was glad to hear his family was with him at home. I'm sure he knew it was his time and it reminded me of when my 93 year old grandpa called his kids and said he was going to die the next day so please have his grandkids call and say their goodbyes. Grandpa had a dream the night before that he woke up in bed and his wife Lillie was there and their son Tony (my uncle who died at age 2) came in and jumped into bed with them, he knew what he was going to and was holding out to say goodbye!

Baby Stuff

So I missed my appointment this last week...I just blanked it, which happens a lot to me now, I can vouch for the whole pregnancy forgetfullness thing that's for sure. I rescheduled for next Tuesday so we will see how that goes it should be a quick appointment I was a little low on my Iron so they will retest it I'm trying to get more Iron because I hate those fingerpricks!

Well LaRae had to do a trip for a D.I. fashion show with her young women so they go and pick out an outfit to buy then come back and show it off. LaRae found this onesie and bought it for me saying "Here is your first of what will be many Strawberry outfits"... it's so true my mom always gave strawberry stuff to MaryJane's girls so I'm sure I will get my share. I don't mind at all, as long as it isn't that fake Strawberry Shortcake (I played with the real deal and the new ones bug me :)

Daniel is doing good we're just trying to get him a good calculator for his math class, he does alright without it, but his homework takes twice as long when he has to use his phone calculator and when they get into graphing he has to have it. I found a good deal off the BYU-I bulletin board and Vaughn got it and is sending it to us, I figure with all the years of schooling ahead for being a doctor it will be a good investment.

Daniel's cousin Kara is here until monday and it has been so fun to have her around. I went with her to my sister-in-laws Heidi's house 2 days ago to do some sewing projects. She was making a Jean lap quilt with an airplane backing for her husband Skylar (who is a pilot). While she did that I worked slowly on my rag quilt for baby. I tried something new making the border into strips and I really love it. I might give it to LaRae though and am planning

on making some coordinating pillows. I haven't de-linted it yet

as you can see but it was fun working with the girls and I learned

alot from Heidi as she was helping teach Kara about how to do a

Jean quilt...I want to do one for Daniel next Christmas so it was good for me to learn. Anyways Kara is coming today to pick me up

and we are going to St. George for errands, it should be a fun day!

Green or Blue?

So Daniel and I have been fighting about what eye color we want our little girl to have. I love Daniel's Big Blue's and the color is so deep I just want her to get them. He on the other hand wants her to get my green's I know it doesn't matter but I hope I win on this one and I thought this picture shows just how beautiful Daniel's eyes are. We are 99% sure she's be blonde since we were both toe-heads until highschool...and maybe curly it's just fun imagining what she'll look like...though she probably won't have hair if she takes after the Steele's until she's two because we're bald babies.
This week has been interesting. LaRae and Adam may have an offer on their house and if she takes it it'll be within 30 days... we cleaned our guts out before the lady came by but she wasn't even interested in seeing the house she was more interested in the property and just said well I have to have a house to live in and didn't care one way or the next... LaRae and Adam's property is considered horse property by the city and there isn't many of those around so that is what she was interested in...I was a little mad she didn't even look around the house since we spent quite a bit of time on cleaning it. We were a bit worried because we haven't found an apartment with the right price tag (or it's gone as soon as we do find it) and didn't know how much time we'd have to get into another place. We've made arangements though and I for one am relieved that we have a game plan seeing as I don't want to be in the middle of a move when she comes.
Daniel did so good on his test in Math this week he's pretty sure he aced it!! Smarty! He hates his computer class but is gonna stick it out. Also he is registering for the BYU spanish test that comes down this way in May if he passes he'll get 12 more credits!! I officially have switched my liscense from Oregon to Utah and am glad that ordeal is over with!! Daniel's cousin Bryce Hastings is getting his endownments out tomorrow and we're so excited for him and for an opportunity to go to the temple. I want to try to go one a month this year because we really need to work on that so this is a good way to get us there. Bryce's sister Kara is down and she's been married a few months but is going to be away from her hubby for 7 days she's already missing him tons and Daniel and I can't believe she can do it, the longest we've been apart is 36 hours but I'm sure the older married couples are laughing that I even know that number I hope it's never more because they were not tearless 36 hours:)
Well I can't believe it's January 20th and that Valentines Day stuff is already in stores...it's funny but whenever I see that stuff I just remember Oh, JD and Denise Bowns's birthday see guys having a holiday birthday isn't so bad people always remember!!! Hope everyone has a good day off tomorrow!!
