Schmidt Dance Party

Today we had time to relax and have fun after the first week of UPT.

We ate whole wheat oat banana pancakes for breakfast, which were delicious. I ran up town for a bit, Justin went to volleyball practice, we got our new modem and router working and then had lunch. Justin and I played a random but fun hand slapping game while Sam was sleeping. I won and pretty much tackled Justin with excitement because of my rare victory. We then had a Schmidt style dance party!

Since graduating/having more time Justin and I have finally used some of our stuff we have kept for a long time but hadn't used. The speakers I picked up from the school I student taught at and Justin's I pod helped bring to pass this Schmidt dance party. Sam didn't know what to think about the dance at first, but we found a few dance moves that made him laugh.

The Schmidt surround sound - free.99!

Sam trying to make sense of the craziness

Between turns dancing with Sam each of us competed at Angry Birds - it's quite the fun and addicting game

Sam laughing! - We love to hear him laugh


Laying on the ground allowing Sam to dance in the air -- his favorite dancing.
Now we're talking about going out for ice cream, furniture shopping, or swimming. We'll see which one wins out. I love spontaneous days with my family. I am so blessed with the family I have. I love Justin and Sam so much!

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

Image
It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, lear...

Nashville, TN - January 30 to February 1

Image
Justin passed his check ride with flying colors and he had a couple days off. So, we took the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee! Our friends Trevor and Keely Park live there and we thought it would be a fun place to go see. Most of Justin's time off has been spent in Utah with family, which we love, but it was nice to be just the three of us The trip was 5 and 1/2 hours - that's w/o stops. On the way there we made it in 7 hours and on the way back we made it in about 9 hours. Let's just say we're good to not have another road trip for a while. Sam was a champ despite the long time in his car seat.  Our first stop was a science museum - we were there for 3 hours. It was fun for all of us.  These are parachute men Sam could move up and have them fall back down by using pullies.  Sam loved this T-Rex. It moved and made noises. Yes it scared him at first but Justin was good to explain it to Sam. Each time we passed it, which was often, we would be there for ...

Having Twins

Image
For the past month I have had twins! Well, kind of. Leo spends his Monday - Friday from 7:30- 3:30ish at our place and is 1 month younger than Sam. I've never really desired to have twins and I still feel that way, but it has been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun to have our friend Leo join Sam and I. Sam has thoroughly enjoyed having a playmate. I considered the pros and cons as I pondered and prayed about if it was right for our family and the pros weighed out and felt right. I love being a stay at home mom, most days :), and did not want to steer in any direction of not giving my full attention to my kids (right now, Sam) at home. It's so easy to forget the importance of the work at home and desire the success and accomplishments of the world. So easily I can compare my worth to what I bring in money wise or what projects I finish. Being a mom, some days you don't get much of anything "done" even if you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I ...
