Family Picture

Well, when Christian's family came to visit we went to Lagoon and during the day ended up taking photos at one of those amusement park photo shops. This is the best photo that we ended up with (the others I don't like as much because we had just come off some water rides and lets be honest, I just looked gross).

The Zoo

Well, we finally made it up to the Hogle Zoo in SLC. I've been wanting to go for a while, probably since last summer. I just like zoos. It was fun, though definitely smaller than I thought it would be. I guess the only zoo I'm really comparing it to is the San Francisco Zoo so no doubt it's smaller but oh well. It was still fun. We took quite a few photos and videos, so I'll eventually post those. If I were to guess I'd say Christian enjoyed the meerkats the most ( I swear he stood in front of their window for at least 15 minutes). I probably enjoyed all the little monkeys the most, they're pretty hilarious to watch. Though the white alligator, the elephant show, and all the orangutans were fun too.

Oh, before I forget (if I ever can) while we were watching a kangaroo we began to hear a fairly loud groaning noise. We followed the noise down to the other end of the cage and witnessed this giant tortoise (450 lbs, ~5 ft long) hump his female counterpart. All I can say is, Whoa. I mean, what zoo trip is complete without watching some animal hump another?

Ridiculous

So, I heard about this website www.poshtots.com and decided to take a look. All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! It is ridiculous, and not in the good way.

Take this for example:


This is NOT a house ... it is a playhouse, a playhouse that costs more than a car. Now take a look inside.

There is a staircase inside this PLAYHOUSE ... does anyone else find this as ridiculous as I do?
Next, the kitchen.


Now the Living Room. Well, this playhouse sure looks nicer than our apartment. It's probably bigger than it too.


The website does have some quite stuff though, which isn't quite
so crazy. Like these cute name hangings, which I plan to copy and make my own some day.

















Anyways, so if you're bored one day like me, head over to this site and see what you are missing as a Middle-class American who shops at Target.

Our Hike to the Y

Here are some pics from our hike up Y mountain in May. It was so much steeper than I remember but it sure was worth it. Pretty great view of Provo. Enjoy.

My New Project

So, being bored a lot of the time now that I'm done with school and not exactly working very much, I've been on a quest looking for something to occupy myself with. This is what I've come up with: making a quilt. But not just any quilt, a baby quilt. Originally, I was thinking it would be for my sister, as they are trying to get pregnant and bound to become so in the near future. Anyways, as I looked for something I wanted to make I found this design. Soo adorable, right? Well, I decided to change the color scheme; green, blue, and brown, a little more baby looking than this more contemporary scheme. Anyways, I went to the fabric store (tons of fabrics were on sale so it was a lot cheaper than I thought it would be) and now I'm soo excited! I hope it turns out as well as I imagine and now I'm thinking I should just keep it ... well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
