Nativity Picture

Okay, in regards to Angie's request, I'm posting our Nativity picture here.





And tomorrow is the big day: the RS Musical Dinner Theater. I don't even know if it's worth stressing about anymore because it's pretty much too late to make any changes. I know it will all turn out okay, but how is what I'm wondering.

Real Quick . . .

Well, I realize we haven't posted for a while. Mainly it's because life has been hectic like no other! Dad's studying for finals like crazy. He's working hard and preparing his best, and mom has full confidence that he will do well. Summer's actually crawling now, and mom has to run around the apartment and make sure everything is off the floor that she can't get into--like power chords and remote controls and dvds/cds, etc. We try to keep her just on her blanket on the floor, but she does end up wandering. It takes her a while to get anywhere, but she's getting there. And mom's stressing about the "Five-Star Relief Society Musical Dinner Theater" that she's in charge of on Friday. (We'll leave out all the juicy details--like unrealistic requests too late, unexpected fall-throughs, and major miscommunications.) In addition to that, mom's email was too full, so after deleting a few things last night, this morning she woke up to 27 new messages that she has to sort through, plus there are dishes to be done, laundry to be washed, and now that Summer's crawling, a floor that really, really needs to be vaccuumed. We still haven't gotten our Christmas decorations out yet, and then there's the list of Christmas gifts that we haven't gotten to, either. Other than that (and a computer that Microsoft has stopped working on and a musical number on the 14th in Sacrament meeting), we are doing great! Hope everyone is doing well too!

New Clothes and Old Friends

Our friends April and Grace let us borrow some clothes for Summer. Grace is two months younger than Summer, but she is almost just as big. Grace has boxes and boxes of clothes, so we're going to borrow a few each week and then return them the next. Here's Summer wearing two of Grace's outfits.


This is actually one of the only times Summer has worn a head band. It's cute, but I don't think she liked it.











On another note, I woke up yesterday morning and decided I wanted to get in touch with some old friends from my college days. (Ha, that makes me sound so old.) So I got onto the BYU-I alumni webpage and searched for classmates. I found everyone that I was looking for, sent out some emails, and have had a great time catching up with everyone. I got just addresses of a few people who didn't have their email available, and I'm excited for the adventure of getting back in touch with them too. It's been great seeing pictures and hearing how everyone is doing. Good times!

Summer's 4 Month Checkup

Summer went in for her four month checkup last Friday. She was 24 inches in length and 11 lbs 4 oz. The doctor said she is looking good and healthy. He saw her roll over and said that we wouldn't need to worry at all about her development; she's ahead of schedule and doing great. Before we know it, Summer will be studying in school like her dad! She's already surfing the internet like him!

Happy Halloween!

What an awesome Halloween Party! First of all, we got a killer deal at Goodwill on everyone's costumes this year. We found a Tinker Bell costume for Summer for $3, so we decided to go as Tinker Bell, Peter Pan (Britt), and Cap'n Hook (Rhett). We improvised on the Peter Pan and Hook costumes: Rhett cut and sewed (about thirty minutes before the party started) to get everything ready. He cut the extra off Peter Pan's hat and then sewed it back up, and then he used a black felt purse for his own hat (we just pinned the skull and cross bones onto it). 

We played lots of games and ate lots of yummy food. Loved the spider crackers, the mummy dogs, the eyeball cupcakes, the homemade root-beer, and the extremely unhealthy but deliciously irresistible caramel popcorn. The first game we played was the flour game, and we both lucked out and had to dig the starburst out of the pile of flour. Rhett kissed Summer afterward, so she even got in on the flour too!
