Nauvoo

I got back from Nauvoo on Monday night. It was fabulous. Our Young Men and Young Women had a wonderful time. They felt the Spirit and became better friends. We want to make it a trip every four years or so.

I am getting ready now to head out for the weekend. It is Toshina’s wedding Saturday! I still can’t believe she is getting married. I will post a picture of me in my green dress after the wedding.

Sin City

Well I got back from Las Vegas, (or Vegas as Graham points out) late Monday evening. It was a wonderful trip. I saw all the sites went to a few different ortho. lectures and ate yummy food.

All in one weekend I went to Paris, Venice and Rome!

I am on my way to Ottawa as we speak. I will be seeing the Mint, and lots of pretty museums.

Wow I am quite the world traveler, hahahah.

Looking forward to Mothers Day!

Another joke for your reading pleasure…

Two tugboat captains who had been friends for years always cried “Aye!” and blew their whistles whenever their tugboats passed each other. A new crewman asked his boat’s mate, “What do they do that for?”

The mate looked surprised and replied, “You mean that you’ve never heard the expression ‘An aye for an aye and a toot for a toot’?”

Pimp my baby?

I heard this on NPR’s Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me and I thought of Alisa’s “Stinker” t-shirt. Apparently there is a clothing company called Pimpfants:

Pimpfants’ fresh designs fill the clothing void that has long been over-looked for the new generation of parents who want their children to be both hip and comfortable.

Another page on their site mentions that their clothing allows “babies and tots everywhere the opportunity to hit the playground with fresh gear and street cred.”

They even sell velour track suits!

I always thought Matthew and Andrew weren’t hip enough. This will obviously harm their street cred.

My Ultrasound

Well as Graham mentioned both Alisa and I went for the Ultrasound.. I wasn’t sure if they would let me try the Ultrasound, but as I convinced the OB I was a photographer she said it would be ok. Here is the image we took of my stomach..

First Pictures

Hey everyone, Alisa and I went for an ultrasound this morning. I think the OB told us that the baby weighed in at 2 oz.. although I could be wrong I was totally mesmerized with watching the little guy squirm around. Very neat, I look forward to seeing more at the next appointment in early June.

Oh yeah it doesn’t look like we are having twins.. 🙂

So here are the first pics…

A Parliament of Owls

What?! Who comes up with the names for groups of animals and birds? Julia bought Who Wants to Be A Millionaire at Value Village for $2. We’ve played it several times over the last few days. Last night while playing with Lisa’s parents (who were here for the weekend), one of the questions was asking what a group of owls was called. The options were Senate, Congress, Parliament and Government. I guessed Congress, but the correct answer was Parliament. Weird!
