You Think You're Fat!!!!!

I saw this post on Sunday Baker (one of my new favorite blogs) and had to post my favorites.

Just around the Corner...

A couple of days this week it has been gorgeous here in Rexburg. It was so nice that I couldn't let it pass me by. So before Luis got home, I decided to surprise him by putting together our BBQ that we got at Wal-Mart in the winter for under $20! There were a few more pieces than what I was expecting so when Luis got home he saw the BBQ, but not all in one piece. I was so excited for our first time using it and was all ready to go when Luis asked if I had gotten charcoal and lighter fluid (minor detail). So one more trip to the store wasn't so bad. And once the coals were hot enough, dinner was ready :) Sadly it is raining today, but it is nice to see that summer is just around the corner...

BABY JANE!!!

A few weekends ago I went to Denver to celebrate the birth of my newest niece...Jane Marie Olsen. My mom says that she looks like me, (yes!!!). Since Natalie was a bit sore still, Zach was our tour guide. He took us to see downtown Denver and then we went on an awesome and beautiful hike in Boulder. I would have taken pictures, but my camera was out of batteries. Luis wasn't able to make the trip because he couldn't miss his classes. But I loved seeing my family (most of them anyway...). Jane was so sweet and it was so fun to see my niece Jaedyn be so interested in her. I can hardly wait to see Jane and her parents in another week when we go to Vancouver to see our families during the week break in between semesters. This past semester has been pretty busy for Luis, and decently busy for me. I am curious to see how we manage our time when we are both in school in a couple of weeks. I have a feeling that I won't want to make a homemade meal every night, but Luis likes to cook, so it shouldn't be so bad.

Baby stuff

A weekend project that I was excited to do. This is a wipes case that I made for my sister in-law Summer. I hope she likes it...I'm actually happy with how it turned out. Those fabric yo-yos are a new favorite of mine :) I'm gonna start making them for my family's card group!

My DAYS off

Having a semester off from school with no job hasn't been the easiest thing for me to handle because I love to be busy. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays I have the privilege of going to Angela's work and shadowing her to see what being a PA at an OB/GYN office is all about. I have LOVED every part of the way. But the other 4 days of the week I find a lot of extra time. So here is my latest project. My first baby blanket without my mom right there beside me (just on the phone...hahaha). Don't look too close...

there's a leak!

So we had a small leak in our roof. But this didn't stop Luis from using his regular study spot on the couch, hence the jacket. Just kidding. The truth is, Luis usually gets home from a 10 hour day at school and starts right back up again. I just couldn't help noticing that he hadn't even taken his jacket off yet before he opened his exciting book on the history of psychology :)
