Fun Day

Today, Matt and I wanted to go to the temple, but upon arriving, found out it was closed for cleaning. Not wanting to go back to the house quite yet to sit in darkness while Matt did homework, Matt started driving around. We drove past the zoo (making a mental note to visit sometime soon) and went up into the mountains. We found a great little look out point and took some pictures.







Then, we decided to go farther up. Then all of a sudden as we came over the hill, we found this beautiful lake. We drove down to see what it was all about and found out it was called Little Dell Recreation Center or something like that. You can take canoes or kayaks there, and it is just amazingly gorgeous. We now have a place to canoe!! We also saw a sign for archery hunting and decided we want to find an archery range to have some fun on. Then as we were coming back down, we stopped at a gatorade (lemonade??) stand that two boys of about 8 were running in their front yard. so we bought two glasses of whatever it was ($.50 ea.). It wasn't too tasty, but they were so cute, I could not resist. I didn't get a picture of them, cuz I thought that would be weird, but I got a picture of our lemonade colored glasses!



Then, we made homemade pizza. It was soooo good! Mine had kalamata olives (yum!!!) and spinach on it and Matt's side had taco meat, mushrooms, and green peppers. The base sauce was a ricotta cheese mixture. It was amazing :)

Weekly Themes. Advice Would Be Helpful.

Ok, so I haven't updated the blog all summer long- but this is not the post that will update you on my summer.  This is a blogger in need of advice. I am the kind of person who needs structure to my days. I like to have things planned out so I know whats going on and I can figure out how to be flexible.  So I decided to plan out exactly how each of my days with Olivia would run. I wrote down what I would do at each wake time and each nap time. And I told myself this was a tentative schedule and we would see if it ran smoothly.  Well, finding motivation to actually put my plans into action is super difficult. I made a list of things I wanted to do with Olivia, which I admit, the goals were a bit lofty. What am I supposed to do?? There are so many blogs about sensory boxes and teaching your kid every state in the U.S. and making them a super genius by age 3. So I wanted to make sure Olivia was going to get that from me. I wanted her teachers (when she eventually goes

It's Happened

Image
It's true, we are expecting a baby in October! It's hard to keep such a thing a secret. Not totally because we are so excited, but for one, people ask us a lot since we are married and haven't yet. And two, because there are a lot of other ladies pregnant right now and you want to be like, "I know what you mean!" But you can't. And Also because you are in so much discomfort that you have to stay home or don't want to participate in things because you might puke all over the guy or lady who is wearing too much cologne/perfume or didn't brush their teeth that day.  Soon I will not be as nauseous over little things and then I will be more excited about being pregnant, but until then I still wonder why I am doing this sometimes.... Too late now!

Quilting is fun?

Image
There is a background story to this picture... 3 years ago, I decided I wanted to make this heart rag quilt for my mom. Unfortunately, I did not have a sewing machine, skills at sewing, or patience for it. But I got all the materials and borrowed a little sewing machine from a friend anyways. Well, I never used that sewing machine in the year that I had borrowed it and so I gave it back. Although I had cut out all the pieces for it. Well, now Matt and I decided that we should make our own curtains instead of buying them (a.k.a. Kate will make them because Matt tried and it was a little crooked and needs more practice before we let him do something serious). So we had borrowed Matt's grandma's old sewing machine from one of his aunts to do these curtains and since I have it, I might as well work on the quilt...but as soon as I started working on the quilt it starts breaking down on me every other minute. It did it before, but not like this. Eventually it just stopped working. F
