My parents came out in October for a weekend visit and it was so nice! Thanks again for coming. We only had a 2 1/2 days so we packed in as many activities as we could. We went miniature golfing, batting cages, and go-cart riding all at Trafalga (we went twice), we visited Cornbelly's pumpkin-fest (which has really grown and is actually a lot of fun to spend a couple of hours at), we hiked the "Y", we went on a bike ride up the canyon and played at a park, we went for a walk to another park close by, we ate at a lot of yummy places and finally we stopped at Gateway for a quick shopping trip before my parents had to catch their flight back to California. </center><center><br /></center><center>There are a few random pictures not from when my parents were here, such as the pumpkin patch and playing in the rain. Fall in Utah is nice and we took full advantage of it (I guess we still are).<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6-J0hxFKLPF_W0zyN6Fk6CQ1dDUW2Vvr4sbB3S1QZq0Nvt7mX6IfstvZ0xAn4moTpuk5ehPzukF4_TpWGVDP7AGCDk-gXiJjIIb4V-sqkKd9tZFGM8hTZQHluuK9lYpE9d6kuM-2N-6l6/s1600/KIM+simon+Y.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTKG5IS-wM-JTByrxWQe2MGCCpTINXx9dOlycLMgXTRrKSSSs63q9w3RdcF2ZdaXZIAhBKWb8lYP9P22s9r_Dr8UX2AgGlzeu4ZQSgO1GzkvOK4RQABOW5l6OGuy3B5HYCmEMJJASeOKA7/s1600/KIM+simon+spider+shirt.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoM5ov5PxodBlsaTCyaJsbeePcyadx0l4diK9HTedg3XsjR19-ph0_BubEF0iwthFKsBcoljltqNyX9laPu8O5nVxxlLzj__TuKOl5ItkadJGYjseM8gXLGEpuvGaQbzeDN50HkZfe2J4f/s1600/KIM+simon+rain.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD92Y8BwUZLZMkANLrnxzJnCHU0EhVRM8RZi2YWTEQNsXn3vhNTVDo2xsrozvKANfgnlLPMBHElXSvR8jfFLj24fbX-ptYlfP7kXytKFIYL9Jj0BxdlHq8h3n2gEgj3Q6Un0ATEKIFAwEG/s1600/KIM+simon+pumpkins+corn+belly.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0UloqFju5xUau4eOtpb5mmdtWItf_AOSxSqsmRe00-IpXA92UFKRYqVNyrG1pyYr_pgIihdjuPl1HbnejCaR94GJoVu2vewPKYFlWPemBe5jwUpMdb0zYN85fZVm9dko-bALMQBQqCNvl/s1600/KIM+simon+pumpkins+10.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzcnv5OSj4gWIRvazottwdrp8rqX167CbxJ6WqaBaRdjcAmXTURA1lwu4QUeTiXX3jLLmAmzq9r75dnus-N6fh-hiGXCA8v0RfHwIg2iRJb_xSaQXhigBOiCAWXIG_1dA2PiNrz0mPmbQ/s1600/KIM+simon+pumpkins+4.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38_EG8OmuvpEpgH1EmNkJurAhq9ce_fw1KLFkQ8I4sdT1bMbmJr-173nkKbaqSZh2OZPS2gFl6FPrwseau_ewQLBHY0_QXZOKVyazXo52DrhdmKAPfb1oUUEftMldaI2uqA8Po-P_VfE4/s1600/KIM+simon+pumpkin+halloween.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4HKz6jW5t5GJyU71smb5mpJVFwJX4NmDmDq6NpseExmVzgEetRFea6v5uyvirPy8qlEzCek-IK5LlOZnU97rVT5o6qwnk6GMqB3V5qgzQvNsd9EFr43O3KeabspNH35mlE2eiTwmmQ99d/s1600/KIM+Simon+Cornbelly%27s+Slide.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUw05_xtxbixhuXNorxrg-w4c_b_BX6QoYAguaeDW4OAjnXH_4Av4KR9KvzobMxKBKmCvJOR7W0T5D0gKV3TKI0J98rScvEfe6tbgQtWIyWaJuPfsn1Cd3s_SerdMgNTTu8-NeVe_2r0ZF/s1600/KIM+simon+carrier+Y.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLfVkI__XFCY5ftV333kWRCaOojXp7R9qIRcA3Oz05dQdXCU3KsuH5Tzb4HwTrpMmy4Fg99tR9EDdOZELqXiCALaHKle_BMIGUeVxT4I7h0tWVk0NohWsiLFS-uXpuFCw7zEfp2FMiYb8R/s1600/KIM+simon+batting+cage.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQiUTvo-V8IsBhU_wmMdPRDW3ODSh3qwf3rFiKTq242dO0Vh-nxtqJhaZcjE7PRKQZchTBZ4QcJqx3_5DxFC6PLkrJd4VG6k3l8-hkWOS2iXnYFjTLxwIZK7w9mtoc0Mbb9AyjFzYhDk-E/s1600/KIM+kevin+kim+simon+Y.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMI0MHw830S2AAhdKy3oXUtaKvmYrfnikPv467l5w7BPkBUf3WYc4yAsNEXEzTVmho9MClF3eWhkfQgdwFy2SjbM8vYTNX2BujhSCc0ycfQnn2dYVueROaRNPkLuCoNlTfLAviCYwwLJrR/s1600/KIM+andrew+y+mount.jpg" /><br /></center>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-40461756785482514642010-10-31T20:21:00.000-07:002010-11-01T06:50:59.394-07:00Tetons trip<center>In August, Andrew and I took a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was a late anniversary trip and the first time we left Simon for a few days. It was so much fun to get to explore, hike, bike, swim and just relax kid-free for 3 days. It rained half the time we were there, but it was still fun and the rain really didn't stop us from doing everything we could. A big thanks to my brother and sister-in-law for watching Simon. I think Simon wanted to stay at their house forever.<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJYednqRiz11qNuBFIsSgmhtHNtN3U69fa2l19AvfThK8dYlESeeIuFyMZ_jTAYamvZTPjeIA7OP-KVSQRO64dDpyYvT4LgKlRxUNGeCyi9E0yNdlL03BhzEUaSpqTpuiDDBQXmhPhzf4/s1600/WY+tetons+snake+river+overlook+BW.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibxosiecl_45H9yguugjNdQQz532evhUS0VL22gODcfmUWG4Tbh0m3W27Ww_lLBP6ja66ycK-OqK8_74vcDaMzahDLCMNQCOiIlPsPCkzQRiEeuuZ5Tv-_oNSRT3boCYHCJzmabVXt8-Q3/s1600/WY+tetons+buffalo.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceEVnuB3lymP6xdi-wwWNhvxnQIuoJJR97MiAwwQNZRUsALULeiPCpKKFuAvckWUB7B39TR-A-kT0kpAd5xuveRdkKnV197TX6b5M4fugCvZE8mCFpmdCcxJIyvTeAP2LdqstjEtELn7c/s1600/WY+tetonmorning.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVu6euhxOfb0v-J1yn6z3fNNHLqnHHhnCTCCEGjw2sIX6ikVPGA1SCoZTkA763cqsrRpvKSH5FL65CMlFs6ilNv6EibFoiWYf6dRV1f0PKyUeHDdJAlK1LyIZDBet4YxOjFItdZCCXf5cG/s1600/WY+tent+tetons.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIVFqg94vjiydy3GxGY2SjR6jNDjQhkH4ZDCmmxB-ppssZyGDbnxKSZYR6MiLHWSyNoa0szWTzlxlfGbXvQY-BzmIayfTjPuiERAuNF0kIGOIAhyphenhyphenEEM-QvG4APdEppLVmOd5hrFDW7z1kq/s1600/WY+tent+night+glow+teton.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7DBjicy25x5vr5tdwDxLkel6pzsvQkhz08scxYgLPUNELB1VwrlVs00nlob4smUqLMrheDyrysWfbUJ-RHTtTswovKtRMQ1HdBgXcKqe9fXfM6mj03tqMq_6xw8F2qFbLXQxmsb2WkmZG/s1600/WY+mormonrow1.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdA79TW3QTKKcQS1nkvkE4dgkY8Y2TBZaFjAC1MsyX6379nniAZ4yfpvfqkLhmdF8pScFH4pc1SIOvZIPTEjn6wtDEjA4_HgqDFmWCHdMRjqefYSHWWI_SzUIvuGHg7HYbGyfINX5kLi98/s1600/WY+jamie+tetons.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqISbazulgP80euNiM0W86M79WlYoKvxu_gaQAgP27p3k-1Iz3h_l1dyv02SIpUlIJSSF5x-Y_ZkTEJhg2SR1BcRpkc2O3VKsywjzwI3-ZbsgiLSDjdL07gUjkWw3fdhoRvyijfu-m73hE/s1600/WY+jamie+tetons+rain.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC-T9ZxOOkbyH5L2yk9ehn3aT0NlCMP67K35HdecZXpaK6ou0AQLNz9wcwO_dTQLb2RyPYnElP_RgtYNIDqa1r4baOCGrLFukQgKEJ4-LY9k8koXToTUAtH4b-5DGlJgDAmzXCGNBXV6ib/s1600/WY+jamie+andrew+tetons.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxogSt9DGpIO0FKg0abKhpYyu7cf2xKJOFKsmHcmR5DXRcJp2pBVyF2NTmFvk57ui7qdvF6jwO_XynSkyx7wYptoD_k8CZgdmBitBsa1VnYCQ47RLFP0mBFfPmbhDPSDXKDkU0zZaLyGf8/s1600/WY+andrew+tetons.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh66hY-j_NQuOqcZXft02qjzR4sAzjYSgBjB_emAWh5WnE4D22KQVy2ZQg_unEhWnlZ1hctufNnvDHw1B0aJc7RtyfKUf9gtL1V0YHUXNVJZGTpX8wHPnBgwmW4rjUHtnSGKximCdUGOzJK/s1600/WY+andrew+tetons+boat.jpg" /><br /></center>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-45528326027614250672010-10-31T20:17:00.000-07:002010-11-01T07:00:57.708-07:00Running Update<center>This summer consisted of running my first marathon in June (the Utah Valley Marathon). A week later Andrew and I ran the Ragnar Wasatch Back (still one of my favorite races). After that we took a short break for the rest of the summer and then come September we ran Utah's first mud run....The Dirty Dash. We have ran the mud run in Camp Pendelton (California) and were so excited that Utah finally got a mud run. We ran the afternoon race, which was smaller than the morning race that sold out quickly. Andrew took 5th overall and I took 1st for all women! I was so excited because although I have won first in my age group before, this is the first time I've won first overall! Whoohoo! Andrew's brother and his family came to watch and the mud was a big hit with all the boys!<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcf9RH3YJKlHipfP2umhcOT_BzP2lgGuhUxkH_49yVcMbZqcAr2DVwb0HYG0oUCSGWuwkxDyeR_Or1gfha0wVPnLvycBGXd5Mxo4LAfAH4_qC8Wu8DX3VkCB0F3Zk2c8iMKLQE6zOdAvJc/s1600/RUN+Dirty+Dash.jpg" /><br /></center><br /><br />This past weekend, Andrew and I ran the Halloween Half marathon with some friends. My friend has all the pictures so I'll have to post those later when I get them.

It was a friend of his sister, so we hung out at their place all weekend. It was fun for Simon to play, yet again, with his many cousins. This kid is so lucky to have so many cousins (and many so close to his age).<br /><br />I still have three more blog posts to finish and post (not including Halloween), but its getting late so I'll have to finish tomorrow (and hopefully tomorrow is really Monday and not next week).<br /></center>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-80504103794808460812010-10-31T19:48:00.001-07:002010-10-31T21:10:51.817-07:00Pictures Finally! Misc. Summer<center>So if its wasn't for my sister constantly telling me I needed to update my blog, I'm honestly not sure when I would have. So thanks Jen I needed a little push. I tried to put pictures in order the best I could, but its not perfect. So here's my attempt to update the past 4 months in the next few posts.<br /><br />We love going up to the cabin in Timberlakes (above Midway, UT). We went there for Labor Day weekend this year and had so much fun. Simon of course loved that his cousins were there and that he got to be outside all day long. I loved that he was entertained all weekend. It's always nice to just relax, spend time with family and play games all night.<br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_yAzIZCuJAznuy-P9BqNHMbx6NWNC8fZxOIqfu3EFIXqaidiyR04KCk8USEKwrONggr21lvAnZ6V4LbMAZNogqIO9iMibhk9my5h0PoDqkAaMDHDDckihu-Eb5Y3Nte5Y3rPlvKt6ZS2D/s1600/SUM+cabin+simon+jamie+cabin.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSPovfAAX_T1bAVMIQO4aoJcUUoR4SUU-CxM37P6kVlAgEmzNtFUYdJ2o7jFtiOOOeITQ42fReePNFm8udIUT_QUMJ0y_kjEGsKYserb7HJm4ttppi_fwcJi4lYTQjm21n95cw9cOcbit/s1600/SUM+cabin+simon+cabin+sand.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifSFcpXrL2oxMaIkPqSXIgFqJkNVquvtr_LzBQ7fklrQYi1cSJLlEB8tUKFxh2VXqXqaBOlyB-8hgubjPLSnFUYZEai1nr8OKexdaOKXE-qkcBUTWR2lYT8fKmxDR6ssdcVUI2Lbp-hgA0/s1600/SUM+cabin+Jenner+feeds+Simon.jpg" /><br />His cousin Jenner was so excited to share his hot dog with Simon.

early B-DaySo I haven't blogged in a while and so much has happened. It seems that when I have a ton to blog about, I'm too busy to blog and know it'll take a while and when I don't have much to blog about I don't blog cause well I don't have much to blog about! Anyways, the past month or so Simon and I have been doing a little bit of traveling. First my sister Jessica graduated from college...whoohoo. My parents and sister came up for the weekend and it was nice to all get together. Simon and I flew home with my parents and sister and stayed with them for 2 weeks (one of those weeks my parents were off on their own vacation). It was fun hanging out with Jules and seeing all my friends that I miss so much in California. I'll have to post pictures from our fun times at the pool, beach, stables, parks and of course Disneyland. After our very fun sun-filled days we came back to Utah only to leave again shortly after for St. Louis. Andrew went to Modesto, CA to help his sister shoot a wedding and so last minute (meaning I had 2 hours to get to the airport last minute, mind you I was in the middle of a run too) I decided to take my parents up on their offer to head to my sisters house for the weekend. We had tons of fun in St. Louis and again I'll have to post those pictures too (pool, farm, tons of good food,etc.). Right when we got back from St. Louis (noticing a trend) my sister had surgery so my mom came to Utah to stay with her (so of course Andrew, Simon and I headed to Provo to stay with them). It was fun to have my mom and sister to hang out with all day and we did a lot of swimming and shopping. My sister and mom were even nice enough to watch Simon while Andrew and I meet up with some of his siblings for dinner Saturday night (I say nice enough cause Simon has been sick and let's just say my sister decided she doesn't want to have kids after watching simon....sad). So now I'd like to think I have time to blog but actually I have a marathon on Saturday and both Andrew and I are running the Wasatch Back next weekend (and I'm not ready logistically for either, tons of planning left to do). So I'm sure no one appreciated my overly long ramble of my schedule but that's what we've been up to. Summer is just a busy time and I could go on and on with what we've got planned for the rest of the summer but I'll spare you (except to say simon's b-day is in less than 3 weeks!) <br /><br />Which, brings me to the explanation os the pictures below. Simon's b-day is soon and since my mom was in town she gave Simon's present to him early so she could watch him open it. He was really grouchy that morning (still sick) and it was hot in the apartment, so please excuse the lack of shorts on my kid. He loved all the presents and crawls all over the house with the school bus. Thanks again mom (and dad!). <br /><br />*Disclaimer: my kid isn't dirty, those are just bruises all over his head and face (yes my kids gets about 4 new bruises a day, I swear I'm a good mom, that head just has a mind of its own). <br /><br /><br /><center><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnx7ejJOpG6SpfzbeIyxZaKPhYa4xsJPyespYBg2zW5cy_HVwAC0pRpRSuNc2nGAdI9WUSrPpBf2cHhsQMQm0pGVyH4RLKNNcwGANjZYvFx267NOD1MJ6oFKK_q3bPe1nv2MbG7Hb7AFJ/s1600/simon_early_bday.jpg" width="800" height="536"></center>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-48145344160515964562010-04-13T12:38:00.000-07:002010-04-15T21:43:43.119-07:00Hiking and S'mores<center><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9aKzNpoNooAYjoW389QJ_9uMCoj9yreiGCfN0YJS-sy10ErKHTovuQjmbuiOx1KDgKcxf0OI1PbRnVmyUirCcSek1_GcATPax1a_TpIUotBQsX5xjXLCJbAexOOaDCdiM3kD9BR2QzzeJ/s1600/hike_midway1.jpg" width="800" height="536"><br /><br />Last weekend we went hiking for the first time this year. Its suppose to be spring, but Utah hasn't caught on to that yet. We took Simon out for a quick hike (if you can even call it that....after finding hives all over Simon's body and calling by brother-in-law to find out what I could give him, we didn't have much time before diner). So we headed out our front door and walked straight up towards the state park that is right in our backyard (well its not our house, but you know the one we are living in at the moment). It was fun to just get outside and Simon love it. I'm excited for lots of hiking and camping trips this summer (seeing how we did none of that last summer). <br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQx4qY_juJZO5PfDyYj1ZBxYDyUp9xkOpTZKrJicJX2tAQpYSKGkUV7Kv9emm-POl857XWpfYyJtBlCtp1eePZoA7_ifan4ggjS4MBMjpfuUMJceZis_MTT_A-NGHump7QsVPR-2odEkiA/s1600/0410001943.jpg" width="800" height="536"><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcv1kONvHAeBekdo7pW5Dm1jxch5_VH57CiU6zA2newf0QyHuv5hcvqIlwmrqa8UUTI6TEP-qc5pZusJK7pQDCAWRCC_1fI98-X3vYDil0H2JC84OB4F7zF0n-paDYmnPJx3cbDVyKs6-/s1600/0410001851.jpg" width="600" height="800"><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifTSqNCobHifoQc_WYwOCaCB1o8nOoQCnb8YHT1dF-U48EPieNqOmzw5DQMAFMgxfroRP2bejiiykYrO1wUBoqaqtYd0IgyRASgm3V00a3t2DpiOvhMLGdLzFAz8bzVQ1R4AeHgU0OCZOP/s1600/0410001933a.jpg" width="800" height="600"><br /></center><br /><br />After dinner, we made s'mores on the campfire that my brother-in-law and his sons built in their yard. We also played soccer while waiting for the s'mores to cook and it was so much fun to get out and play. I'm sad that we don't have the ocean close by, but you can't beat hiking straight from your house and a yard big enough to play a good game of soccer in (okay maybe it was the neighbors side yard....but with no fences, its all the same)!Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-45319921957611141192010-04-08T16:10:00.000-07:002010-04-09T08:26:14.125-07:00Bowling<center><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPGsZ_apsTZUkacfQCJNtuRg03Pp1fptYgKwtWxe8jxafsTfIf_ZExIYCENAlRFhjxbtKeJUragMXeivWwjWlc-Gj-5PBZm4YboQDBdiajsV3dm4lCL6fu334tjodkqsJD2f8meD9hMf86/s1600/Bowling.jpg" width="800" height="618"><br /></center><br /><br />Went bowling for family night this past Monday with Andrew's brother and family and some of his wife's family who were in town for Easter/Conference weekend. I have never been to a more old-school (aka. small town) bowling alley in my life. Its awesome! I guess we are just lucky that there is even a bowling alley in town.<br /><br />Oh and the reason Simon has on a blue shirt in one picture and not in the others is because in typical Simon fashion, he threw-up all over himself, me, and the bowling alley. Also, Simon is not screaming because he's upset, he screams when he gets excited (which happen a lot).Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-55189672399285366912010-04-08T16:03:00.000-07:002010-04-08T18:41:31.616-07:00Easter 2010We had an indoor easter egg hunt cause, lucky us, it has snowed A TON the night before and was still slightly snowing all day long. Felt like Christmas not Easter. Its so much fun to live close to so much family and for Simon to be near a lot of his cousins. I grew up close to some of my cousins and I want the same for Simon. Simon's cousin, Jenner, was nice enough to share all the eggs he found with Simon. Simon was interested mostly in all the people around and in playing with the eggs.<br /><br />The next day we watched conference and had a great Easter dinner with family (no pics). It was a great weekend even if it was a "White Easter". Sadly I don't have any pictures of Simon with his Easter basket (or at least not on this computer, might have a cell phone pic), but he did get an awesome basket from the Easter Bunny.<br /><center><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Xqsp-8HkDHBIlRxNhdikaCGW33qYeAz4B2QIf2Sf4ebT01cTDGQZC432kpwZ03aTBD3z-bBFcYkcRVTb6MaC-0HsQwETwklegFDiBC_FY-UPli_kFKnOJzpGMF8yVEjTkRiY7BojNmot/s1600/Easters_2010.jpg" width="800" height="443"><br /></center>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-27769229432016656132010-04-08T08:58:00.000-07:002010-04-08T09:01:01.546-07:00New Giveaway at Branchwhipped___Click Branchwhipped banner at right___ →<br />A few giveaways a week.

We went to California for 3 weeks (Andrew was there for a week and a half) and I don't have many pictures to show for it. Not even one family Christmas photo with all 3 of us...sad I know! California was awesome and I loved it...so warm! I already miss all my family and friends that live down there, so I'm going back this weekend :). Actually, my sister and her two kids are coming to visit, so I just had to go back down and see them. I haven't seen them since July! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We had an awesome Christmas and missed Jen and her family terribly! My parents moved back to their old neighborhood (actually back on the same street). So right after New Year's we backed up the whole house and moved within a week. It was crazy!

I tried them and they are pretty nasty.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRLejRrXcRrkoPQhz5XtxDd2_eXdJk2Fni9hhxgx7LNO0qv2AvWfovcrrjPNmqrUb_nttCxYvzO8LUSYTyu-OzPZg0W_-9lnwHIKAjR9NbVDGNrvYgB0NQw-w_DyOcXATV7zoRXkjS-M/s1600-h/Carrot_Mustache.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiRLejRrXcRrkoPQhz5XtxDd2_eXdJk2Fni9hhxgx7LNO0qv2AvWfovcrrjPNmqrUb_nttCxYvzO8LUSYTyu-OzPZg0W_-9lnwHIKAjR9NbVDGNrvYgB0NQw-w_DyOcXATV7zoRXkjS-M/s400/Carrot_Mustache.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427120413607571714" /></a>ACSpencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18273686589439630300noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873420421006848812.post-6088925872358995582009-12-17T18:42:00.001-08:002009-12-17T18:47:09.651-08:00Santa!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLxFo-mvma8IG1jalHK4Q9ox2hjaAjUfCTTi_eejXuQOp9tgJ3ZLBFWYWjPUyAZFkzcVaJAjNefRkF2_vjO_qCXI7qCbzhgLqXVlfywQdB7isUn6WQqNDTgDXn-azUKJgc-0Tsx7Zj3zbd/s1600-h/Simon_Santa.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLxFo-mvma8IG1jalHK4Q9ox2hjaAjUfCTTi_eejXuQOp9tgJ3ZLBFWYWjPUyAZFkzcVaJAjNefRkF2_vjO_qCXI7qCbzhgLqXVlfywQdB7isUn6WQqNDTgDXn-azUKJgc-0Tsx7Zj3zbd/s400/Simon_Santa.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416401626538640402" border="0" /></a><br />Had to get a picture this year, cause next year Simon may not find Santa so fascinating.

We left our place this morning at 5 am and headed to the hospital. Despite being waken WAY earlier than when Simon normally wakes up, he stayed awake for most of the 45 minute drive to the hospital. I was expecting him to be very cranky (his last formula bottle was at 6:30pm and he only got to have diluted apple juice at 4:30am), but he was all smiles and loving all the new people that were poking and prodding him. At 7:30 he was taken away and the surgery was pretty quick, we got to see him again around 9. It was funny and sad to see him come out of anesthesia. He was having a hard time waking up and it was so sad. He was really sleepy. Now we are home and Simon is doing really well. He hasn't been too cranky and has slept a good portion of the day....hope that continues into the night. Below is a picture of Simon in the pre-op room in his awesome hospital gown/pajamas that they gave him to wear. </span></span><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwm6VACVuHk9_iQn_vgsl7Sn76Jz-OfY-pOOlzr3bMVw_CEdc3sIYNxfSZ5iICndz94OJKNhirdTySvV8osc5zi_gr1VgZ0VldEOsEmEkMmTLX9tibDl6H-Hw9srHUvtIvDkC8tpE40wr9/s1600-h/1202090700.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwm6VACVuHk9_iQn_vgsl7Sn76Jz-OfY-pOOlzr3bMVw_CEdc3sIYNxfSZ5iICndz94OJKNhirdTySvV8osc5zi_gr1VgZ0VldEOsEmEkMmTLX9tibDl6H-Hw9srHUvtIvDkC8tpE40wr9/s400/1202090700.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410814286757388514" border="0" /></a>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16159985929746355175noreply@blogger.com3
