Baby Pictures

Well we had the 20 week ultrasound this week and our little baby is definitely our child. He was posing away! He even gave us a little smile and let us see him from every angle. The ultrasound went great and everything looks perfect with him! I took pictures of the ultrasound pictures, so here those are. 

Here is our little boy giving us a cute profile shot. He already has cute features!

A frontal shot. Still looks alien-like, but he looks better from the front here than the previous time.

Showing us his nasal bone.

His little right arm.

 

His nice long right leg.

Next on the list, I crocheted a little skirt. It was before we knew if we were having a boy or girl, but I really was just crocheting it for fun to try out the different ways of crocheting that I know. But it turned out really cute, so here it is. 

Then of course I got more flowers. I just can't ever pass them up. It seems there are always a lot of extra yellow flowers. So we have lots of yellow in our place. Luckily I love yellow. I also got a bunch of randoms. This time I plan to give them away to the three people that I visit teach.

And here is a picture of my little baby bump as mom likes to call it. In the one with the two of us I was accidentally stepping on my dress. Oh well!

Flower Power

This blog illustrates Debbie's unselfish desires to spread flowers and joy around the world. She has the means for finding cheap (free) flowers at her building on BYU campus and when she gets more than she needs, she makes bouquets for women in our ward. She has quite the green thumb, like this little chappy here.

Already she is getting big with child.

A talented wife if I've ever seen one. 

Surprise, surprise

Surprise, surprise, World. The Mrs. and I have succeeded for 17 weeks in keeping the biggest secret that history has ever known. But the secret is now out and you heard it here first. Unless you heard it elsewhere. We are having a little boy! Debbie is pregnant and due October 9, 2012 with our little man. Here are pictures of proof.

Our cheapo college way of decorating our apartment with the news. 

Plus, Debbie got a perm.

Two little berries that prove he is a boy. 

We are very excited. Please send us money and/or free things to congratulate us. Or you can just come and visit when Baby Mohawk has officially arrived. 

New Slippers!

So a little over a month ago I decided that I wanted to learn how to crochet. I decided to take lessons from the 80+ yr old woman that I visit teach. I tried to work diligently on these slippers but they were taking forever. Of course I made them for Eric because he has very cold feet, especially when we get in bed. Well after a month or so I finished the basics of one slipper. For the other slipper I had become so skilled that I did it in just a week. I ran out of the yarn that I was using and luckily had just gotten more from a Relief Society Activity, so I was able to use that. I finished them up last night and ooala! They turned out perfect! Well for our purposes. I am very pleased that I now know how to crochet and am excited to try other things. I used a half double crochet stitch which is nice and thick and should be pretty warm for Eric's feet.

My happy camper.

We also took pictures of the pretty flowers and the horses at the Rigby house, but I forgot to put those on the computer. Next time I guess!

Couch and Loveseat

For our 111th post, we wanted to do something a little special. We were couch-hunting on KSL for a few weeks, having grown weary of our loveseat, the first piece of furniture we bought as a couple. After several inquiries and heartaches over missed deals, we found a couch and a loveseat on KSL for only $30. They were so cheap because of the floral design that will be in style in our home when we are 96 years old. But, with the miracle of couch covers, they serve their purpose.

Here we are on our happy additions.

Oscar the Couch


Herbie the Loveseat


Our new favorite hobby is listening to The Hunger Games read on grooveshark.com at night, after school and work and church callings and such. Our new couch and loveseat are the perfect perches for tired bodies hungry for our favorite modern unethical literature.

The miniature sun that you see in the corner is actually our IKEA lamp.



Thanks, KSL.

Finally something to blog about!

Ok, so it has been a while since we have really blogged (except for that recent cake blog) but I finally have something to talk about! It all started with the apple. I got a bunch of apples on sale and each day Eric and I would each take a half. One day, something happened!
I was half way through the apple...


And my corer broke! It was from the dollar tree though. So now we do it the old fashioned way with a knife.

Next up, Eric signed up for summer school classes. He looks excited about it.


And third, I have been really bad about cooking dinner lately. So yesterday I decided it was time for me to shape up. Today's menu for dinner was a baked potato. And I must admit, I have never ever liked baked potatoes. But I decided to give them another try. I also decided I would try out a sweet potato (I always thought that yams were sweet potatoes, but they are actually yams. Sweet potatoes are a light yellow on the inside). So I got myself a sweet potato and regular potatoes. I followed some directions to make the outside skin crispy so that we could eat the whole thing

not the prettiest picture, but let me tell you, that sweet potato was one of the best things I have ever eaten! Soft and not starchy tasting at all! Sweet and juicy! I am definitely buying those again! I WANT MORE!!! We just topped them with a little butter, cheese, sour cream, green onions and tomatoes for me and bacon for Eric. Luckily Eric LOVES potatoes so he is very happy with my new discovery. Yay for baked potatoes and a meal that I leave wanting more!

So I have a menu all planned for the next two weeks and I think it is making Eric giddy that I am cooking meals again.

Cake

Hum, We haven't posted in a long time, but that's because there isn't really anything new to post about. Just school and work. But back when when it was Presidents Day, I made a cake and we did take pictures. So here are the pictures.



So there you have it. I can bake too.
