Maxie, Maxamillion, Maximus...Max

-Sigh- I think I'm in love! His name is Max! ^-^ lol, Amy had her baby today around 3:55 pm...she was only in labour for about 13 hours(yay for her). He's a beautiful little boy, and healthy. Heehee, I think I'm starting to like that name alot. Even more now that I saw him... he LOOKS like a Max. He's too cute! Anyways, I'm a very excited auntie! Happy Birthday Max!

Title: lol, there's so many possibilities for nicknames! I like Maxie, lol. But maybe it sounds too much like a girl name...? heehee, oh well it's fun to think of all the nicknames I can call him! ^-^

Snow Adventure

Yippee! We woke up this morning with snow everywhere! I can't remember when the valley part of Oregon got this much snow. We're at about 5 1/2 inches right now, and its still snowing hard! It's pretty exciting for us Oregonians because this is a very rare thing, but I'd rather it be a rare thing to have snow in the valley then to have it all the time. You wouldn't enjoy it as much if it was here all the time. Anyways! I had a blast snapping pictures.

Jonathan

Jonathan with the snow man we made together. Every snow mans dream is to have green eyes (Limes). Heehee!Jonathan and me

Bad Weather

Yikes, I've gotta drive in really bad weather. The roads are icy and all the schools are down for 2 hours or so. I'm not complaining, just scared to drive the 20minute drive out to the country, with all the curvy roads. Pray for me that I don't total my car, or get in an accident. *worst fear*

BUT! I did get to take a picture of the snow while it lasted!! =D

Here be it. It's the pathway on the side of our house. Thought it looked kinda cool. :P Looks like powder sugar

Baby Monitors

I love these baby monitors! Not only can you use them for watching your baby sleep in the next room, but you can watch church on TV! Heehee! Last night we had church at Brittany's house and while everyone was downstairs having church, Brittany and I were upstairs making ourselves comfortable and watching church on the little tiny baby monitor TV. They just placed the camera high up on the TV in the living room, and we had a good view of a few of the brethren (the screen wasn't big enough, nor was the camera wide enough to catch them all). AND what's great was it was like you were in the room with them, it sounded so clear. Brittany was able to stay awake for quite a bit of it, so that was cool. It was nice being able to look down at all my brethren on the TV, and just thought how much each one means to me. I usually only have the backs of peoples heads in church to look at, so it's a little different getting to see faces.

Anyways, everyone is getting sick over here! Well...so far only Jonathan has gotten it, but soon I'm sure everyone will have it. -Sigh- I'm forcing down some gross gross GROSS airborne stuff so that I might not get sick...and trust me, this is the LAST time I do this to myself. It's bubbly like soda, but watered down grapefruit flavoring. Reminds me of flavored mineral water...bet that's what it is. ;D I don't know why,but it makes me gag. And even just thinking about it makes me gag. Lol! Never again...

Project Complete!

Yippee! That was stressful. I had alot of trouble with the butterfly,and I still think it didn't come out the way it was supposed to! (Shh! Don't tell Britt. ;) ) First I did the Hamster, but I'm going to call it a Mouse, because that's what it turned into!

Then I made a butterfly. Not so cute. >:P

And last I made a FISH. A fish that wasn't supposed to be taped, but it's a FISH (Maybe it can be his band-aid). I'm obviously not good at this. I even put a cute little face on it! ;D

Well, that was a fun experience. Brittany for sure is going to have to teach me how to follow the directions. They're kinda hard to figure out which way you're supposed to fold the silly things. Now off to show Brittany! :D

Trying something new

Yippee, I'm trying something new today! =D My friend Brittany likes making Origami paper things...so I thought I'd try and make one for her! I've never done it before, but how hard can it be?! Heehee, I snatched a book off the shelf at the library today while I was working, that has EASY origami in it. SO! That's my new project for the day: to make a cute (hopefully) origami animal paper guy. ^-^ You never know, maybe I'll like it so much that I'll get into making all the HARD origami stuff with Brittany. But...I'm doubting it. If the origami that I try to make today, turns out good, maybe I'll post a picture of my sad attempt. Wish me luck! =D

Girls night out!

Heehee, tonight I went out with, my two sister-in-laws (Sis. Mandy and Sis. Tiffany)and my little niece, Abigail, to hit the 'big' not-so-big bath and body works sale. They were bringing out all their discontinued items, and most the yummy citrus-y smells I like got discontinued real fast, so I was hoping to find just ONE of the yummy smells...annnd I did! In the 75% off box! Sweet deal! The one I really wanted wasn't there, so that was kind of a bummer. But anyways!!! I enjoyed my time with them. Abigail followed me around the store holding my bag and yelling my name in a high pitch voice, lol, normally she doesn't follow me around, so it was fun! =D We didn't talk about a whole lot that was important, but I really just enjoy being with my sister-in-laws.

Anyways, someone requested that I post pictures of my oklahoma trip, so here they are! (finally) And i'm sorry I didn't take a whole lot...I was scared to go up to people and ask to stop what they're doing and pose for me! Lol.

20 years

I'm officially not a teenager anymore! It's funny how you picture when you're little how things will be alot different by the time you're 20 years old. Lol, guess God has it all planned out better than I did, but it's just interesting to remember what I thought would be different when I turned 20. I think I like better how it turned out now than how I imagined it!! :D
Anyways, I had a fun birthday! My mom and dad, and Bro. Danny, Sis. Kristen, and Sis. Amy (my sis-in-law) went to the opening of River dancing!! It's their last year ever dancing again, so I'm glad we were able to go see them before they retired!! If you get a chance to see them, it's absolutely awesome! I had a blast, and the noise of their shoes live is crazy!! And the music live was awesome too. Too much fun. :)
Well, I've got nothing else good to say for now. Glad to still be alive for one more year. ;)

Pictures

I know it's not alot of pictures, but I was just trying to figure that slide show thingie out. Maybe I'll put more pictures on later...if I'm patient enough to wait for it all to upload. -_-;

These are all the pictures now.

I'm baaack!

Last night when we got to the Oklahoma airport we found out our flight was delayed from Colorado to Oregon, so we had to stay the night in Colorado. That was really interesting. An experience and adventure for sure. But hey, now I can officially say I've been to Colorado! :D
Anyways, we had a good time. There wasn't much visiting since there had just been a big ice storm there, alot of the brethren were busy picking up branches and stuff. But we did have a good time getting to know some of the teens there, and it was awesome to get to see Bro. Mark and Sis. Rosalie. They reminded me alot of home because their family is pretty close with ours and we used to see them a bit while they were still in Idaho.Bro. Mark always has good things to visit about, so that was nice getting to talk with them.
I was really wanting to go see a sister in Oklahoma, Mrs. Martin, but it didn't work out. Maybe next time I can get a hold of her earlier!

Well, it's good to be back! Missed everyone.=D Off to James' and my b-day party! (mostly James'! ;) )

Off we go!

Today is the day, Timothy and I are going to Oklahoma! Please pray for me that I can just enjoy my time there while we're there. There's just alot on my mind, things I'm worrying about when I don't HAVE to worry about them. I just want to run away from my worries just for a little bit and take a break.
On a happier note, when I get home it'll be mine and James' b-days!! Yaaayyy! He'll be 1 years old and I'll be.....-sigh-....20 years old!!Can't believe how fast the years are going by. I feel like I'm still 16 or 17, what happened to that young girl?

Well, goodbye for now everyone. I'm going to miss everyone! ;_; Especially mommy and poppi! Haven't been this far away from home without them...yikes!!! Love ya all =D
