Kurt is the best!

Warning: This is a cheesy post! 

Thank you Kurt!  Thanks for letting me rest yesterday.  Thanks for folding the laundry, doing the dishes, and making my lunch while I was resting.  Thanks for putting together the crib and figuring out how to fix the broken part.  Thanks for changing the sheets at 3am after my nose decided to bleed on them.  Lots of crazy things have happened in the past couple weeks and I'm so glad to have had you by my side through all of them!  Thanks for being my wonderful husband!

30 Weeks

Only 10 weeks to go!  That doesn't seem like very long!  My insides are definitely feeling squished now.  I can't eat too much at once and I get short of breath much easier.  When my guts grumble the noises come from weird places- like underneath my ribs or on my side almost to my back.  Lobi moves a ton!  And the movements are much stronger.  You can see my stomach move of its own accord (well, of Lobi's accord) which Kurt and I find very entertaining.

Busy Weekend

We went out to eat with Mom, Clarence, and Jeanette as an early birthday dinner for me!  Afterwards we went to Spencer's baptism.  I can't believe he's 8 years old!  In my mind he should still be the 3 year old I used to babysit.  I'm so glad we could be there for his big day!

Then we went home and ate cake!  Kurt made me a confetti cake with confetti frosting.  He's so sweet!  Just like the cake :)

Then we played games with Jeanette and Jen!  Just like old times at our house in Seattle (plus Kurt).  I can't even tell you how many board games Jen, Jeanette, and I have played together.  We all love them and lived together for about 3 years- it was a good combination! So fun to have us together again!

Bothell Stake's special Stake Conference was today.  We are now in the North Creek Ward.  All wards were re-named.  Technically, we're in the same ward, but it's going to be much smaller!  Our old ward was divided into 3.  Most members of Bothell 3rd are now in either the North Creek or Canyon Park Wards but some are in the Woodinville Ward.  The Canyon Park Ward didn't exist before today!  I'm excited for next week to see what our new ward will be like.  We have the same bishop, but new counselors.  Our Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary presidents are all in different wards now so there will be many new callings over the next couple weeks.  I've never been in a ward or stake that has reorganized.  It's kind of crazy!

It was a busy weekend, but the first of several busy weekends over the next couple months!  We have a lot to do before Lobi gets here.

Happy Halloween!

I didn't plan much for Halloween this year.  Except butterbeer!  Halloween = celebrate Harry Potter!  That's right, homemade butterbeer.  In our mugs from Harry Potter Land in Universal Studios.

 

Then I decided we needed costumes.  So, we worked with what we had.  Unfortunately, that meant I was a cat.  I'm allergic to cats!

And Kurt was Superman!

I made my ears and Kurt tried to make his glasses...until he decided I'd do a better job and asked for my help. 

Happy Halloween!

This is how watching football should be

We haven't been able to go to Ethan's or Ammon's football games the past few weeks.  The last one we went to it was really warm.  I was sweating bullets and it was super uncomfortable.  After all, it was the last weekend of September.  I was wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt.  I even brought a jacket. 

So, even though it was cold, I was so happy to attend Ethan's game on Saturday and sit in the rain!  It was the semi-finals for Ethan's team and sadly they lost.  But I'm glad we could go!

I didn't take many pictures because I didn't want the camera to get wet, but most of them turned out hazy because of the misty rain.

 

Ammon had some awesome faded face paint on.  It was his ward's trunk or treat earlier in the evening.  Ammon was a zombie and Luke was a ninja...he wouldn't let me take his picture.

Final Jeopardy!

I got it right! 

Category: Mammals 

Answer: "Ancient Romans knew this animal featured in their circuses as a hippotigris". 

My reasoning: Hippo = horse and I assumed tigris = tiger.  Horse + tiger = horse tiger?  Tiger horse?  No...AH HA!  Zebra.  It's a zebra! (Thank you to my one quarter of Latin for helping me figure this out.)

Question: What is a Zebra?  Correct! 

It's not everyday I know the answer to final jeopardy.
