the weekend's little successes

-lesson planned for the rest of term 2
-bought our christmas stockings
-closed the heat vents upstairs and opened them downstairs (since heat rises this will save us on our heating bill...or so we're told)
-watched BYU's win
-watched the U loose...
-purchased our first nursery necessity-a glider/recliner
-said our goodbyes to jessie (more on that later)
-watched "How to Train Your Dragon"
-and had some frozen yogurt with chocolate shavings and hot fudge for date night.

next weekend has an even longer list of "to-do's"....i'm going to need another frozen yogurt....

oh and i had a birthday

amidst all the exciting news, forgot to post about the birthday! as you all know, we drove down to st. george and hung out with my sister jessie for the weekend.  (we will talk about that 4 hour drive later...oye...) saturday morning she took me to Bear Pawn and had the most amazing breakfast.  i'm still craving that belgium waffle...and then later that night we got to see her in Thriller at Tuacahn.  and i gotta tell ya, there is nothing like Thriller on an outdoor stage with the red rocks as the background.  perfect for halloween. and of course jessie was amazing. it was quite the ending to a perfect birthday. thanks jess for having us down and introducing us to all the local goldmines like that breakfast parlor.  i owe you for that one.  i just love birthdays.

the ultrasound results are in:

and we're tickled "blue!"

happy halloween

 love, Super Dad and Super Mom.

parenthood: here we come.

life of a birthday cupcake

we are leaving tomorrow for st. geezy. i'll be enjoying my halloween weekend in warmer weather than alpine. and to top it all off, i'll be watching Thriller on my birthday at Tuachan.  better than this cupcake you say? oh, much better. (and it will last longer than 3 seconds...) 

peace out friends. happy halloween!

bye bye

october flew by. did anyone else feel the same way?
we didn't even have time to carve pumpkins.
my birthday is on saturday
and all i've been doing is justifying purchases this past week...
and the snow kind of threw me off this morning.
november is coming.
when did it all fly by?

we had a good time.

thanks friends. and for the good suggestion on pizza.

park city is my fantasy/dream place to settle.

twist my arm to play all day, eat good food, and shop.

one day...
