so I'm officially a blog slacker. my mom was getting on my case about not blogging very much and i can't even use the excuse that i don't have anything to blog about.. well i don't really but i do have somethings that i should have blogged about. Amanda is gone so we don't do much fun things like alphabet parties anymore and since the nephews have been born and my moms been here i haven't been home much. but i am home today and i will blog about all the things that i should have blogged about and will try not to be such a slacker in the future!
First! My nephews i blogged when sawyer was born and at the time didn't know his name. So... Sawyer Lane
Kissell was born on the 2
nd and he is super cute. just check out Kristen's blog and see for yourself. i actually stole this picture from her. I get to go home for two weeks and see him this Wednesday! i can't wait to be his favorite aunt!
Ethan
Bou Yeung
Fong was born May 5
th! despite
being born on
cinco de mayo hes very much an Asian baby. and a dang cute one if you ask me. I've been lucky enough to be here and see him from the very beginning.. well not the VERY beginning.. but pretty close. since these two handsome boys were born so close together it was really hard for my mom and especially sense little Ethan decided to come early.. i think they planned it up there just to give mom... grandma a run for her money. I'm really excited to be living in Utah so close to Jen Micheal and Ethan so i can be here to be his favorite aunt too!!
I LOVE THESE BOYS!
Second i guess would be last weekend. On the 8
th Jared came to visit! it was the best weekend of my whole entire life!! no joke. I picked him up from the airport that night which was a
Thursday. we went out for dinner... kinda we picked something up and ate it in my living room and watched august rush together. great movie by the way. we knew we had to plan something because both of us would be content with just sitting on the couch together doing nothing and enjoying each others company all the same. so he planned to bring me breakfast
Friday morning and we went shopping for a
certain something all morning. we came home and made lunch. my dad was also here for a couple days. he drove himself down here like he said he would when Jen went into labor. anyway after lunch we planned on going to a movie and it turned out my parents were going to too so they could leave Micheal's family alone with Jen and the baby for awhile. so we went together. my mom, my dad, Jared and I all went to see Baby Mama. which was hilarious!! I've been telling everyone to go. even Jared and my dad had some good laughs. we then had dinner with the family. Jared got to know my dad a little bit which is nice since he will be coming to stay at my parents with me in 12 days! it was fun we had pizza and played some games. I would have to say
Saturday was my favorite though. we planned a
picnic and went to Thanksgiving point to the Rose gardens. it was beautiful and it was so nice outside and it was so much fun just walking around with each other. no matter what we are doing we always have such a good time together! that night we went to dinner with some of his friends and played rock band. which was way fun.
Sunday was just a normal kind of Sunday. well of course it was mothers day! which i didn't blog about.. I'm sorry mom. but we went to church together and instead of splitting our separate ways for priesthood/RS we went on a long walk and talked about important things about the future and the church. along the way we got attacked my bugs because apparently I'm no good at choosing a path to go down. but actually it was all part of my plan. so Jared got to see my spastic side. hes gotta see it eventually... he went home
Monday. i took him to the airport one last time to say goodbye. May 30
th when i pick him up will be the end of these long months that we had apart. we will be flying back together on June 3rd and he'll move back to cinnamon tree and start going to school and working here again! all in all it was an amazing weekend and I'm SO glad he had the opportunity to come down here.
Thank you Jared's Ohio family for letting him go for a weekend!!
Third would probably have to be....i go home in 2 days!! and along with that i planned to pack this weekend and to clean. thank goodness this Saturday was cleaning checks. our whole apartment is clean! I'm going to feel so much better leaving now! i started packing.. It seems whenever i go on a tip longer then 3 or 4 days i freak out and feel like i need to bring ALL my
clothes... no joke. i pulled out my suitcase and set it on my bed Friday after i was done cleaning and started picking out things to wear. i through in all my shorts. of course i need all of them its hot in Arizona. i brought all my sundresses.. which is only like three or four and of course i need those..
SUNdresses. what do you think of when you think Arizona??... no besides dry desert. SUN! and then there's swimsuits and t-shirts and cute summery
flowy shirts and my light button up shirts that are nice over tanks. yup.. ALL my clothes are coming for this 2 week vacation to Tucson.well to my home that has a washer and dryer so i could do laundry and wear things more then once.. but you never know what you'll want to wear! i am the WORST packer. don't worry I'm going through my over flowing suitcase before i go and throwing some things back in my closet.
and i think that's it for now! I'll see you in TUCSON!
