K-Family

Here are a few pictures of fun family K and their new baby in the hospital. He was so sweet to hold!

Koala Kuddles

This lady has convinced me that the only way to swaddle a baby is with a Koala Kuddle (here)... and I don't even have a baby! These swaddles are being given away at Just for Me... and You

Photo Updates

I've updated the photos on the previous post with my mission president, little Brian, and at the football game. Here are some pictures of me in DisneyWorld! The little Mickey doll is in all of the pictures because I bought him to "be" Scott. It made the trip a little more fun since I was looking for the perfect photo opps with "Scott" :)

Here I am at Universal Studios. I was able to go with a co-worker and her husband and they were so fun to be with! I'm grateful they were there!


Here I am on the Toy Story ride, I had fun shooting targets on a 3-D screen.












And, the TOWER OF TERROR! It wasn't really that bad... although the Spanish lady next to me told me that she almost held my hand (she was alone too). I shocked her when I answered her back in Spanish. I guess the shock factor that some white girl speaks Spanish is a little higher outside of Utah!



The next day we went to both Magic Kingdom and Epcot... both for an hour each. Mostly a misinformation situation, but it was fun to be able to go to both parks!
Epcot:

The end. I took about a zillion more pictures, but decided to spare you. :)

Traveling Fun

I'm in DC right now... my sister, Michelle is getting married today! We've had an exciting day yesterday of running around with my mom, Jen, Alivia, and Michelle.



We've had a long week this week! On Sunday Scott dropped me off at the airport and sent me off to Orlando. I went to a conference for 3 days with some co-workers and had some fun at DisneyWorld. When I say SOME fun, it is because I'm supposedly in the happiest place on earth, without the love of my life :( I'll post pictures about it soon!



We were able to go to my mission reunion last Friday and got to see a few people I hadn't seen in a long time! Here's a picture with President and Sister Buttars--the best mission president ever! Afterwards we were able to go out and eat with Scott's sister Katie, her husband Wayne, and their little boy, Brian. It was fun to sit and talk with them, it's been too long!

Our date the week before was the BYU vs. Colorado State football game! We didn't get season tickets this year (mostly because I forgot when they went on sale), but were able to find some tickets for sale. We had a great time and BYU won!

Up a Creek with a Paddle

We are trying make a more concentrated effort to take pictures on the fun dates we have. Yesterday we decided to go canoe down the Provo River. Scott steered on our way to Utah Lake, and I steered on the way back. After about 10 seconds of us switching (and I was the one steering) we ended up in a tree. At this point Scott asks "do you know how to steer?" I said "no." We had an adventure back up the river as Scott taught me how to steer a canoe. :)

We saw lots of ducks on our trip down the river and tried chasing them a few times... it's much easier for them to escape since they have wings. But, we had fun anyway. Have you ever noticed that it sounds like a duck is laughing when they quack at you?

We even saw a turtle in the water. I tried looking for more, but didn't see any. All in all, it was a fun trip!!

Disaster Averted

There was a big storm today... rain, wind, the works. We came home to find that Mr. Stripy had fallen over!! Now, being so tall, he's a little top heavy and has surpassed his cage by about a foot and a half. The wind had knocked the whole thing over! Thankfully, Scott and I were able to save the poor plant and propped it up with an old putter that we don't use. I think it's going to make it, but it was a close one!

Here is a picture of one of the tomatoes I salvaged from the wreckage. Nice.

I was just looking through my pictures from the summer and remembered the picture we took with Scott's mission president at his reunion in July. He happened to be up in Utah (he's from Brazil) and decided to get everyone together. It was fun to meet him in person!

Here is a picture of when we went and volunteered at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. We have had fun doing volunteer service projects and this one was a benefit dinner and auction. Scott got to drive the attendees down to the main event in the golf cart and I watched the auction. It started storming like crazy at the end we ended up soaked and windblown! It was really fun to talk to all of the people--there was a huge golf competition the next day so we talked to several players as well as the wife of the president of Thanksgiving Point! We also drove some kids with their dad on an emergency bathroom run. We found out he was on the board as well. They were all really nice. Here's us waiting outside:

Anyone else excited that the Office is starting up again this week? We've been watching all of the previous seasons to get in the spirit of things. I hope it's a good season!

Okay, so I've been really boring and haven't posted anything for so long.

Updates:
Our garden has become a monster. We have about 10 tomatoes in the fridge because we can't eat them fast enough (and we even give them away sometimes!) and probably 40 more green ones on the plant. Mr. Stripy (small tomato plant on the right) is now taller than me and will soon have a ripe tomato larger than my palm... I post a picture when it comes off! We have more zucchini and squash than we know what to do with and our freezer is already full! It's been really fun!!

We've finished applying for dental schools and now the waiting game begins. We know everything will work out the way the Lord wants it to... it's just hard to be patient!

Scott started back to school and is taking some fun classes. He really loves his tissue biology class and just started carving in his tooth carving class (dental school prep lab is what it's called). He's also working as a Bio 100 TA this semester and is loving it! I think he really has a knack for teaching!

I decided not to take any classes this semester and just relax. It's been nice to not have to worry about homework or sitting through a lecture. We've also been able to go to the gym about 3 times a week. I think my body likes me better now. :)

Oh, and BYU beat Oklahoma last Friday. We were ranked #20 and they were #3... now we're #9 and they are #13...hurray! We'll see if they can hold out for the rest of the season!

Sorry no pictures. I just wanted to post something! :)

Our Bounty!

Hurray! We were able to eat some of the bounty of our garden yesterday! They were the freshest squash and zucchini I've ever eaten... seeping with delicious goodness. I'm pretty sure they both popped out of nowhere and grew to full size in less than a week! However, we will have to start giving them away soon. We just went out this evening and we have almost 2 full size squash and 5 that are 1/2 to 2 inches long already! I only see 1 or 2 zucchini inching along. There are lots of little green tomatoes... but they are slower growing.

Here's how big the garden is now after only 5 weeks of planting the little seedlings!

From the side:And for those that don't remember, here's the garden one of the first couple of weeks:
