Can any tell me how to make a cute header. I cant figure it out. Also lately I have been doing a lot of research on immunizations for babies and I had no idea how much controversy there was about it. I watched Oprah the other and Jenny McCarthy was on talking about her son with autism and how she believes it was caused by the vaccines he was given. There are many people out there that believe the same thing. Has anyone looked into this?
This past Saturday we spent the day in Tucson. We had to go down there to pick up a bike for Colin's parents. It actually worked out really well because we have friends that live down there and they happened to only live about six miles from the where we got the bike. So we spent the day with Colin's friend Steve and his wife Callie. We went up to the mountain near Tucson and Barbecued hamburgers. It was a lot of fun and was so nice to get out the heat and the desert. It was about 30 degrees cooler up there.
Yesterday we went to our newest ward. It seems like a pretty good ward. A couple of funny things did happen to me. In relief society I was sitting by a lady and the first thing she said to me was how much she liked my dress. I thought that was very nice of her, but then she followed up the compliment with asking me if I made it. I didn't really know what to think of that.
After relief society a lady came up to me and asked me if I was having twins, she said she thought thats what she heard me say. I said no, I'm just having one. While walking away and laughing a little she said "just one big one huh?" I have never been complimented or offended so many times as I have while being pregnant.
Thats our weekend.
This morning I was able to get outside and go for a walk. Since we've been here its been to hot to go outside at any time unless you have too. This morning was different...there was actually a chill in the air. It felt so good, I decided to go for a walk. Now I am sad we have to move. We have the nicest little walking path right next to our house and about a block down there is a cute park. I will really miss it. Also, as I was walking into my house I heard a lady say good morning. Turns out she is in our ward and lives right across the street. It is so funny, before we were going to move I didn't like living here at all and now that we are for sure moving I start seeing all the good things. But to get out of the stinky house and be closer to Colin's work is defiantly worth it.
This weekend we went to Blanding to visit my family. The trip there was a bit long. We got in a little bit of construction on our way out of Phoenix and about 30 miles south of Flagstaff our car started getting really shaky & bumpy. We tried to tell ourselves it was just the road, but as we entered Flagstaff it got even worse, so we knew it was our car. We pulled over into a parking lot, looked for a long time and could not figure out what was wrong. Finally we saw that we had a huge bubble on our tire. Luckily we had a full size spare.... and Colin. He was able to fix it very fast, I went to the bathroom and when I got out he was putting all the tools away...what a
man! :) So we made it to Blanding in just under eight hours.
Saturday we went up on the mountain with my family and Sandi's family. It was very nice to get out of the heat and up into the mountains. We had a picnic and rode four wheelers. The reason I only have pictures of everyone sitting on their four wheelers is because the campground is as far as I made it. Sandi and I were not allowed to ride due to our "condition. "Kind of a bummer, but my mom was nice enough to stay with us so we had fun just relaxing and talking. Colin had a lot of fun on the four wheelers and said it was worth the 14 hour drive to be able to ride.
It was Brooklyns birthday yesterday. She turned 4. We missed out on the cake and opening of presents, but I did see the cake and yes Sandi it was very cute. It was a Barbie cake, I bet Brooklyn loved it.
Well we hope everyone had a great weekend!
Here is what our house looks like. The front and back yard are all gravel. I am happy with that because I don't have to worry about yard work.
Our Kitchen...nice and big!!
Dining room...too big!
Upstairs living area...dont know what to do with it.
Hayden's crib...so cute!!
Hayden's room
Well we made it to Phoenix! We've been here about a week now and are still alive! Yes, it has been hot, but not as bad as I expected. The hottest part of the day is the evening when the sun is going down, so that defiantly makes it a lot more bearable. As for our house...it is nice but smells like smoke. When Colin first came by to look at it they had the smell masked with tons of air fresheners, so it didn't seem to be that bad, but it is!! We have done everything we know to make the smell go away, but it wont. So we may be moving, nothing is for sure yet. Our landlord said he would let us out of our lease if the smell doesn't go away, so we are just debating if we want to pack up and move again. Anyway, I took some pics of the house for those of you who are interested.
