Happy (belated) Birthday

Nate Dogg turned the big ONE! I think that he is the most laid back and happy baby. Jenny want to share your secret to a soon-to-be mom of a baby boy? But really, Nathan is just so lovable. When my oldest nephew Dallin (age 11) went out to Utah a few months back he left a little teary eyed having to say goodbye to little Nathan. We are all excited for the up-coming wedding of my little sister in August for obvious reasons but I can't lie - Nathan coming to town is a large bonus for everyone (and seeing me 33 weeks prego too). Anyway, late as usual but still with so much enthusiasm -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN!

Oh To Be...

Tan.

And to not have heart burn.

Happy (belated) Birthday Lily!

Lily girl is 3!

Although I think she seems more like 16 with her cute little sassy ways. She is spunky, full of life, compassionate, and can handle her own amongst all her boy cousins and big brother!

Happy Birthday to our little Diva!!!She likes the big bucks cause the girl can shop! Red flats - she always knows what's in style.

Jumping the Gun

As you can see I am a little excited about our move to Mexico. Lets hope life is sweet there! =)

News is in...

Despite the fact everyone thought it was a girl (except Nellie, Katy, Diane, and me) the baby did show us his boy parts after some serious patience. His little legs were crossed so tight for much of the sonogram I was getting worried we would not get to see it's plumbing. Thankfully the sonogram technician was prepared to push on and shake my stomach until the kid decided to spread them!

Now let the shopping begin...

What Happened to April?

April came and went in what seem to be a blink of an eye. We had a lot going on last month and luckily I had my camera at some of the events. Although these are a little overdue - well you know - better late than never. =)

I love spring for this reason - New Life!

This was actually late March I believe - Astro's Opening Night!

NYC

Danny was real excited when we found shrink wrapped shoes in China town - a shout out to Matt R.! I am such a dork but hey I just like seeing my name - especially on a Jewelry store. =)

Tristan also is a Jewelry Store - this is for Allie Kay.

Ok, the real reason for the NYC trip - a fabulous wedding at Battery Park.

Danny and the former BYU Rugby men.

Matt and Amanda - good looking duo! You could see the Statue of Liberty from the balcony at the reception. How neat!

After the wedding we went to see Lion King.

Dan and the Rafiki the Monkeys. =)

Times Square is pretty cool.

Not much to see in April - but I think May is turning a corner. Pictures to follow. =)

Road Trip Like No Other

State Department just called - it's official - we are driving to Mexico!

Wow.

One Week Until...

Now you know me - I think of any reason to celebrate (remember Fat Tuesday?) but this year's 5th of May has special meaning to us since we are moving to Mexico in 2 months!!! I told Danny that I was going to reserve our table at Guapo's for the celebration but after finding a whole section of recipes dedicated to the day on Martha Stewart online I might just have to play chef and throw my own fiesta!

.

My favorites from the website:

Classic Mexican Guacamole (pictured)

Cilantro-Lime Rice

Grilled Corn with Chili Powder and Lime

Chicken Fajita Tostadas (healthy)

Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Sauce

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Husbands & Blogs

Today I received an e-mail from my dear Danny telling me that he had visited our (ok, really just my) blog. He has visited my blog maybe once before and only because I coaxed him onto the website myself. His e-mail of course reminded me of my blogs inadequacies. The following is a excerpt from his e-mail this morning - I was on the blog and noticed you spelled the word "trimester" wrong in the paragraph just above the ultra-sound pic of our prince or princess. Also, I voted on the poll for girl...there really aren't that many folks that have guessed (we aren't that popular I guess).

.

Do your husbands look at your blog? I have seen husbands who even post on the blogs! Wow, what a thought.

To my Danny, Welcome! I am just so happy that you are visiting my blog once again. Your visits mean so much to me as they have increased my blogs popularity (by 2 hits now!). Maybe you can help me by being my blogs personal spell checker. Think about all the ways I have helped you in the past (see photo below) and consider it won't you sweetie? Xoxo. haha

It Is A...

No not mine ... I won't find out until early May.

The Wolfgramm Family just found out they are having a baby boy! Congrats!!! I have known Mama Wolfgramm (aka Joanie) Since I was a little girl. She is due a month before me with her first - so exciting. I was guessing it was a boy and so was she... we were all right... Way to go! Now lets guess what I am having (see Jepordy question to the right). Although growing up I always thought I would have a boy first (you know everyone wants an older brother) I am now starting to second guess myself. Danny really thinks it's a girl. We don't really care what we have just as long as it does not come late! Haha!

All New Office Tonight!

All I wanted for my birthday was a new episode of The Office - NBC was too kinda to make my wish come true. All you Office lovers don't forget to tune in tonight 9 EST and fill the void that you have been harboring for months! Relief.

What is Yummy?

Haagen Dazs' vanilla honey & granola frozen yogurt
a sweet twist on a classic combination. delve into smooth vanilla frozen yogurt swirled with honey, followed by crunchy, wholesome granola clusters for a one-of-a-kind, all-natural treat.

I can't say enough about this stuff. It has active yogurt cultures and calcium too.

What Does This Picture Mean?

It means...

We are having a baby...in Mexico!

Doctor said my due date is October 8. Here is the little squirts first photo. I have entered the 2nd tirmester which makes excited to know that we can find out the gender soon. Danny and I are so thrilled to be expecting a little Juan or Juanita!

Sorry the picture is kinda blurry and small (click on it and it will get bigger) - I can't seem to work a scanner very well. The baby seems to be chillin nicely at the bottom- one hand behind its head, the other in its mouth, and its little legs crossed. Danny and I joked that we hope the baby comes out this way and remains a very calm baby ... my mother just laughed and laughed when I told her this... Oh boy! Or girl!

Was this an April Fools Joke people?

***Late afternoon breaking news - My sources have confirmed that this is a hoax. See original photo used to photoshop the BOM. Sneaky.

Too bad.

Xoxo, L

Raw and in the Shell

Mei and I went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?!" my wife asked incredulously.

"YES!!" stated the waitress.

"I'll take the special then." my wife said.

"How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked. "Raw and in the shell," my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home. She made my day.

Reminds me of my dad. He is always trying to save or not waste. Except if this had happened to him he would just order the eggs and save it in an old margarine container for later consumption. Love my dad.
