So I went to Safeway to get some groceries today, and one of the things I bought was a pack of bottled water, which I put on the bottom of my cart. Can you see where this is going? Of course, I forgot that I always forget that I put things down there and ended up leaving it in the parking lot, on my cart, after loading up the rest of the groceries. … [Read more...]

Yeah, random title I know, but I figured I'd post something other than...no baby yet. (which by the way is still true...grr) Just some cute pics of our first little cat baby. Here is Ally keeping a steadfast watch over the neighborhood for us. She lets us know when the cats next door are getting too rowdy. Here she is on one of our stools. She … [Read more...]

I have passed my due date officially now. woo-hoo. I think the counter says it all. Come on baby, where are you? hehe. At my doctor's appointment this morning (hopefully my last), she said I was 2 centimeters dilated now and 50% effaced. So some progress is being made. Go cervix! Sorry. haha. I am ready for this baby to come, we'll see what happens … [Read more...]

Strap yourselves in! Here's a tour of the (almost) finished nursery! I say almost cause we still don't have blinds, or a glider (which is going in that empty corner), or both closet doors. Pretty close still! From the door shot. Her crib and birdie art! (and blanket that the wall color was based on) Her cute hide and go seek art that I found way … [Read more...]

Because all of a sudden I just HAD to organize all of my loose recipes into binders. Even though it took me like 2 hours and I'm really tired now...there was no stopping me! I just turned on Shark Week and went to town. (which is weird also cause sharks scare me)I went to the doctor yesterday and she said I was only 1, maybe 1 1/2 centimeters … [Read more...]
Swei Jows

Sooo...Sunday I said I would tell you about Swei Jows. (I don't know how to spell it so I made this spelling up) My dad went to Taiwan for his mission for the LDS church and had these almost everyday. They are like boiled potstickers, and have wraps filled with pork and cabbage and garlic and ginger. Oh yum! You dip them in soy sauce and then eat … [Read more...]

Best. Thrifting. Ever!

So I was perusing flickr to find ideas for my breakfast nook wall, and found this fun idea to hang plates on the wall.....it inspired me, so off I headed to our local Goodwill to scour the store for some plates. It's not like I have a house to unpack or a baby to have soon! An hour later I left with a cartful of stuff. (and some plates haha) Here … [Read more...]

Last night we took a break from unpacking and cleaning and headed down to Sunset Beach where Rory's sister Mandy and her kids were camping. (they're in town for the week) It was really nice on the beach, a bit windy, but warm! The sand felt good to my little fat toesies. haha. After sitting at the beach for a bit, we headed up to their campsite for … [Read more...]
