Truth Be Told and Other Happenings

I will be completely honest with you, this post is MOSTLY to dote on my ADORABLE nephew. So if you don't want to see about 15 pictures of the cutest little boy in the world, then skip down 2/3 of the page to the other stuff in this blog. For now enjoy some crazy cute pictures of Nikolai.

Part of why I am doing this is partially out of homesickness and partially because I keep having dreams about my dear sweet Nikolai and it makes me miss him.

Ok so for this picture below, I feel if you put glasses on him he would look like a baby version of that kid from Meet the Robinsons. Anyone else agree? Maybe I'm just crazy.

Modeling baby anyone?
(Plus his shirt is really cool ;D)

What you lookin' at?

This tamagotchi is so delicous.....

He found my camera.
He likes cameras.

I feel he is ready to give a BIG hug. =]

I think i said his name.

Turtle turtle.

Ooooo shinny...

He can stand so well =]

I am this tall.

In other news Garett and I had a lovely 11 hour drive from Utah to California. It should have been 9 1/2 hours but when we were an hour away from being home there was an accident on I-15 South & a brush fire on I-15 North in around the same area. Needless to say ALLLLLLLLLL lanes of traffic were shut down for probably 2 hours

Thankfully our WONDERFUL GPS found a detour for us so we could get home.

Now for random pictures from our trip:

This ride looks intense....

Vegas castle thing. It makes me think of legos...

The black pyramid

This road makes me laugh every time but also want to sleep.

As soon as I saw this sign I got excited and yelled "IT DOES EXIST!" 
(see video below)

Garett grew a beard.

Then shaved it into a goatee. 

 

Yeah it's gone now.

In other news I have been CRAVING to play Pikmin 2. Not sure why but I just really want to play it.
Maybe it's because Pikmin are kinda cute and Garett plays as Olimar on Super Smash Brothers Brawl. 



Anyway that is all for now. California is gorgeous and I am slowly learning my way around. I can now get to most all of the important stores in Glendora.

Ah Glendora, does anyone else think it sounds like a fairyland? (It might as well be, it really is gorgeous here!)

Once Upon A Time Season 2 starts tonight as well As The Mentalist Season 5! 

CAN'T WAIT!!!

Off to go get ready for church =]

Nothing Comes From Nothing

Nothing ever could,
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.
(Love that song & movie. It was my favorite growing up, can anyone name it? I know my mom can!)

Anyway for the last several weeks I have felt like I have been in limbo, homeless with no foreseeable ending to our travels. Trust me, living out of one suitcase for 8 weeks is NOT fun. Also just not being able to do anything gets tedious.

But I am happy to say we have things worked out now and we will be returning to the GLORIOUS California next week. Not that I don't adore my family here, I do I really do, but I am ready to be settled in for a bit and to see my in-laws. Trust me, if you had in-laws as awesome as mine you would want to hang out with them too.

In other news Garett grew out his beard for 2 1/2 weeks.

It was fun. Both him and my brother-in-law Jessie had beards together, it was pretty cool.

I have also gotten to play with my ADORABLE nephew Nikolai.

I think he is starting to get used to me. =]

Too bad he won't remember me when I come back in January.
But all the same, he's been a blast.
Watching him teethe , stand up and walk along the edge of the couch before falling over has been fun (well not so much the tooth thing).

And of course the great faces he makes and his ability to entertain himself with Garett's watch for ALL of church. Seriously $10 watch for a quiet baby for 3 hours? That's a fair trade!

 

All in all my visit with my family has been a blast. I love being with them and all the silly happenings that go on here. I have enjoyed being here and I can't wait to go to California and be able to start getting things done for my little family of two.

I have such a great man. Everyone tells me so, so it must be true right?
I have learned life is unpredictable and obnoxious but you have to go with the flow and enjoy it. There will be plenty of moments in life where we have no time to rest, sleep or get the things done that we need. So this has been a nice quiet start to our marriage, and it will be a fun crazy ride. =]

In and Out burgers are actually

the same size as on the picture!

Yes this is a new and thrilling 

finding of mine.

Don't judge my East Coast-ness =]
