The Weekend!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had a great birthday/Valentine's Day/Chinese New Year Day this weekend. And it was even extended into three days of partying since we both had Monday off for President's Day (Or just extended partying day)

Saturday we played volleyball for the first time since November. I think that's the longest break I've had in playing for the past few years. I definitely felt it the next day. And even though it was a little cold, it was still really good to get out and play again! We even had cake and pineapple to celebrate a combined birthday weekend of mine and Lisa's.

Then we went to Jarom's sister and family's house that night to feast and play games. Always fun.

Sunday of course we went to church, then came home and made ourselves a wonderful dinner. It consisted of T-Bone Steak, Oriental Cashew Asparagus, and Fried Rice. Complete with an ice cream pie for dessert. (I know it's lame, but I took a picture of this meal and am tempted to post it.)

For presents I got a pair of Crocs, a portable DVD player, a box of chocolate bars, some decorations for the house, a candy tool, a cookbook, a humongous bubble blower, a pack of like 500 water balloons (set for spring), a card game, and...I think that's about it.

Onto Monday. We got to sleep in, then went and saw Lightening Thief, and spent the rest of the day relaxing and watching Olympics and such. All in all, a good and successful weekend.

Curb Appeal Galore

 This post is to document the journey our outside of our house has been on over the last few years. A lot of these projects I took on this summer, and a few I did earlier. I am so happy with where we are currently at, but still have some plans before it's finished. So, here is what it looked like the day we bought the house. Seven years ago. Don't let the "grass" fool you. It's just weeds. And the ugly brown window trims paired with the ridiculously old glass in the windows and the green brick with maroon grout. Not too pretty. We have since painted the door, trim, and replaced the windows. Also replaced the porch light and house numbers.  This spring we also had a new concrete half circle driveway installed. We live on a busy street and our front yard is useless and our driveway is tiny. So now we have much more functionality, less weeds, and overall happiness. After the driveway was installed, I also ripped out the rest of the grass and installed some decorative...

Things I've learned about babies

These are things I never realized or knew about babies that I have learned since having one of my own! -Babies are grimy. I still don't understand how they can get so dirty. How did you get all this dirt under your fingernails!? You can't even DO anything with your fingers! -You know that soft spot on their head? You can totally see their heartbeat in it sometimes. It's kind of disconcerting. -Once you finally figure out some type of routine or normalcy......it changes. -Apparently babies can still "bite" their tongues, even though they don't have teeth. I guess technically they're gumming their tongue? Which doesn't sound too painful, but when a red pinched blood vessel looking thing shows up on the tip of your baby's tongue, you realize that it might be a bit painful. -Babies have to be pretty tough, they experience a lot of pain! From being born (it just can't feel great being squeezed through a birth canal), to teething...for mont...

Good and Bad Discoveries of the Week

This week we have discovered the secret to life in Provo!! I am serious, it's the best thing ever, and everyone who lives in or near Provo, must take advantage of this secret to life. 1. Go to the Winsong movie theater 2. Purchase a ticket for "Take" (preferably Matinee) 3. Preferably, do not watch this movie because it is a waste of time. But if you have nothing better to do with yourself, go ahead and watch it. 4. Take your movie stub to the dollar theater located by Costco in Orem 5. Finally, enjoy UNLIMITED free movies at this theater. That's right, I said UNLIMITED FREE MOVIES at the dollar theater. I know this sounds to good to be true, but it is oh so true. I have done it, and it works. Last night, we watched a free Indiana Jones from this movie ticket. It was amazing. The movie Take is pretty worthless, but the reward is priceless. Ok, so on to the bad discoveries of the week. I have recently become aware of the advantages and disadvantages that tag along with...
