i'm so behind!!!! i haven't blogged in forever. we have been having a pretty good and busy summer till i realized i had a lot of catchin up to do. i will go back to april.
we had a fun visit from chris' favorite cousin jessie and her boyfriend patrick. they were coming to town to visit someone else and we offered for them to stay at our house with us instead of camping (good too since it rained a ton while they were here ) it was great fun spending time with both of them. they are hilarious as a couple. easy and very comfortable to be around- and jessie brings out the super silly side of chris as they would reminisce summers they spent at her house by the lake in Michigan. they sang songs from that time, they laughed and laughed and laughed. we then of course had to take some silly pics to document this awesome occassion...
they ofcourse had to include the overly serious face (in which i'm just being sassy not serious) the fake big laugh, the homage to prom pics, and the white trash pic in which jessie asked that i remove my temporary tooth haha oh and the regular nice smile. we were so glad to have them visit and hope they come back next year as well.. especially since by that time they may be married!!! they just got engaged!! yay!! we approve!!
we've also been able to take a few afternoon trips to the beach... daniel loves it!! he is so brave and runs right out to the water and splashes in it and loves it when the waves crash on him. we are pretty lucky in that he hardly ever eats the sand . if he does its by accident-
we often get to meet up with friends there and its always a fun time watching our little ones play together.
i have also obtained a new obsession of collecting sharks teeth. you find a couple and then you are hooked. pretty soon you have found 40 in one trip or even more if its low tide.
we also get to see some pretty awesome ships off shore since we are on a marine base. this one day helicopters were practicing landing on them. it was totally fun to watch.
i was driving to walmart one day and passed by this sign and had to just laugh
at first i thought it said BYU Bartending University. and then i realized it was a BU with a wine glass in the middle. but hilarious and ironic if it had been BYU bartending. haha
one night i was getting ready to go out with some friends and after i got all my jewelry on and i looked in the mirror and said i guess i'm going as madonna tonight. haha
daniel is a typical little guy who is so good at entertaining himself and occasionally that ends with a big mess but lots of smiles. i can live with that.
he has also been working on feeding himself with a spoon. always a huge mess but he loves it. and sometimes uses the wrong end.
we were going to a party and decided it would be fun to have the boys match. so cute... our future golf pro as chris calls him. they are even both wearing puma shoes.
one huge project i worked on for a couple weeks were these twin quilts for my nieces claire and cadence. their mom told me what colors she was doing in their new room and i showed her a couple patterns and she chose this one and i found this super cute moda fabric. took me a while to cut it out and make into blocks but i love that kind of work. i think they turned out so cute and look really fun in their room.
april was a good month. we kept busy. chris worked really hard at work as his residency was getting close to the end and he worked on some really tough cases. he's learned a lot and likes working hard but is excited to get a break for a little bit. i keep busy with daniel and whatever project i may have going at the time. i love my primary calling. teaching those kids music is hilarious. i'm such a spaz and goof that they are totally entertained and just laugh at me half the time.
