Catch Phrase is a pretty great game. The funniest person to play with is my mom. (She will be mortified when she finds out she's on the blog... she hates being video taped...sorry!) The category is "Food" see is you can guess what mom is trying to explain! good luck! (to turn off the music: scroll down to the picture montage of our Reunion/Wedding and hit the volume symbol next to the pause button on the bottom left corner.)
I guess the biggest news is that we moved...not far...just a 1/2 mile. The new apartment is just a little bit bigger and a little closer to ASU, and just all around a little more comfortable. Matt and I are pretty excited about the dishwasher. We had a ceremonial first dish load...It was pretty awesome! I must say though, I did shed some tears when we moved. Handing over the keys was harder than I thought it would be. Our first apartment had so many good memories attached to it!
This is a picture of me today...This little girl is a student of mine and everyday she gives the baby a hug just like this. It's too cute! Don't look too close to my classroom. Of course we had to choose the messiest place and time to take the picture....by the counter at the end of the day. I promise it usually doesn't look like that! All of my student's are really excited for the baby to come and say the funniest things when it comes to how big my belly is getting!
So I went exploring the blogging features today and found an option to post polls. So vote and see how close you get to the baby's due date. If I were to have it my way the baby would stay in until her due date....not only would it be great for her lungs....it would make for the best maternity leave time for me! Have fun!
Well, I began to write a lengthy entry all about the hermit crab drama at school but erased it all because who really wanted to read all the lengthy details about it? So the short version is that hermit crabs may look like an easy and cheep pet to take care of...but they're not. You're better off getting a hamster.
We had the best time in Washington with our Coleman family. We were able to attend the sealing of Will and Ame in the Columbia River Temple (located in Richland, WA - central WA). It was a wonderful ceremony and Matt and I are very happy that we were able to go! Matt had a great time visiting with friends (members of Ame's family) that he hadn't seen since he left EWU - I had a great time putting names to faces! After the wedding festivities we went back to Kent and spent a leisurely Sunday with the family, lots of talking and laughing...and for some...Guitar Hero. We were sad to have to be the first ones to leave! We hope that it won't be too many years before the whole family is able to get together for a reunion again!(It is kind of squished but if you click on it it will send you to a sight to see the whole thing!)
After spending too much time browsing the Internet for nursery theme and being shocked/appalled and the price of nursery bedding sets I decided to do what my friend Kamarah did and make my own bedding set. Initially I was against a big pink theme....but i got sucked in... and it's not like it's froo-froo princess pink - so I'm good with it! : ) I thought the lady bugs turned out pretty cute and it was a really simple pattern so it didn't take too long....
During 4th of July when we went to San Diego we really wanted to go to the Temple since it was the first time Ceri and John could come through with us but it was closed....SO mom and dad decided to make a quick weekend trip out especially for the Temple. It was wonderful being there all together and enjoying the Beautiful San Diego Temple. Unfortunately it was wedding city out there and we couldn't find a spot to get a family picture without disturbing the various photographers and their wedding parties....so that's why there are no temple pictures. We all had a great time, but were happy to get home - especially after having to change a flat tire on the side of the highway in the middle of the dessert!
