"Mean face"

So Chris has kinda been working on this "mean face" with Nehemiah, because he in fact is so natually good at it, Chris thought it would be funny to get him to do it on que. THis is just a funny little moment we were having with him. Nehemiah thought it was the funniest thing ever! He'd make the face then seconds later bust up laughing...He's actually really good with making his eyebrows look mean but he was way to happy and excited to really make the "mean face"...

 

 

Happy Birthday to Michelle

So i know this is a few days late but i didnt get a chance to post on her birthday cause we didnt have the internet, but now that im connected i just wanted to share these pic. I made some cute cupcakes with michelles favorite plumeria (made from gum paste) and favorite color. I made cupcakes last year for her so i really wanted to make some again this year. I plated them nicely and gave them to my friends...just sharing the love, and celebrating her special day in my own way....I miss you always and love you forever, till we meet again.

 

 

 

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!

YAY!!! So theres only one more week till we get to travel 33 hours to home sweet home montana. yes i said it...Sweet Montana. Believe it or not we miss it. I haven't been able to update for a lil bit cause we lost our connection to the internet for a couple weeks but...luckily we got it back!!! YAY! So i thougt i would post some pics of our latest adventure...."the beach" We went because the company was having a BBQ there. I actually dont even know what the beach is called but its a bay and we had to pay 6 bucks a person to get in the stupid place, and then the "sand" was so hot chris got massive blisters on the bottom of his feet from walking across the sand to get to the jelly fish infested waters. Its was misserably hot and humid, and you know me i didnt dare get in the waters of the atlantic...especially after Shark Week on the discovery channel. Nehemiah hated the texture of the sand and would not even walk on the sheet on the sand with his sandles on. Luckily they had grass areas where we ended up moving so chris or i didnt have to have a sweaty baby on our sweaty laps.

Nehemiah and my girlfriends daughter Baylee

National Building Museum

Last weekend Nehemiah and i took the metro to downtown DC with my girlfriend Myra and her two girls. It sounded like it was going to be really fun for the kids from the website...unfortunatly we were disappointed. It was more like a little daycare. oh well, it was a fun day and kids enjoyed themselfs. THANKS MYRA!

Air and Space Museum

So we decided yesturday to brave the crowds and go see the Smithsonians Air and Space Museum. It was actually quit interesting and Nehemiah definity enjoyed himself. He actually knew what an airplane/helicopter is because they fly over our aptment at least 5 times a day and i always make sure he gets to see them (he loves seeing them). It was a nice day to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.

This is what the day consisted of...Much pointing and "uhh"ing...

By pure luck i barly got this picture taken, due to the severe delay on my dang camera...he was walking tword me as my camera was deciding weather or not it wanted to take the picture! haha


I love this picture, we were walking threw the "planets" part of the museum and there was alot to look up at....and so he did!

much needed to see pics

baby michelle

So in case you still didnt hear...Im having a GIRL!!!! Indeed i am VERY excited to be able to use my sweet sisters name. I've been searching diligently for a middle name, but havn't found the perfect one...yet. I will, and it WILL be perfect! Anyways the fourth was fun. Unfortunatly we didnt participate in the Capitals fesivities (due to HUGE amounts of people) but we did have a good day enjoying the sun and watching the University of Marylands fireworks show. The whole day i could help but remember the amazing time we had a couple years ago at the lego land fireworks show, and if you were there YOU too remember how just very awesome it was! I was sad to be so far from family but all in all it was a nice day. Nehemiah loved the fireworks, which of course was a whole lot of fun! Im still working on the camera situation! so sorry for no pics again! And HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROCK!!! I LOVE YOU!!

Washington DC

So we finally made it here like three weeks ago. We hit a duck and took out the drivers head light on our way, real great. Nehemiah handle the drive well and enjoyed his much needed dvd player. Our apartment is way nice, its going to be pretty crappy to go back to our bomb shelters in bozeman when the summer is over. Chris has really picked up the job really quickly and is ranked number one first year guy! whoo whoo! haha anyways the weather hasn't gotten crazy yet but its starting to. I've been delaying updating because i busted out my camera when we got here and tryed to turn it on, needless to say the battery wasn't there....its in bozeman! UGH! so annoying! We haven't had access to the Internet until last night by some miracle we finally were able to connect to someone Else's wireless, I'm just crossing my fingers that it lasts. Nehemaih is now 16 months! crazy! He loves the new apartment because of the carpet, a luxury we don't have in MT. he is starting to use words like "da" which means dog, and i know this because he says da every time he sees a dog and also "hi" haha, thats a funny one, its his new thing to wave and say "hi" to everyone near him....constantly. He's got quite the aim, we could possibly have a quarterback on our hands, literally, his aim is impeccable! All is well in DC, we're doing good, im getting more prego 5 months today! yay! Anyways I'll do my best to get a battery soon so i can take pictures! and update with something you all want to see im sure.

Happy First Birthday Nehemiah!!!!

WOW, thats about all the words i have to describe today. Its so crazy to think exactly a year ago i gave birth to the most precious gift i will ever have. My beautiful boy is now 1! I cant hardly believe it. Chris's parents and brother Jeremiah came to celebrate the big day, and needless to say it was eventful. We threw a big bbq and invited all the Uso's (chris's friends) and some of my girlfriends and their husbands who have kids Nehemiah's age. There was plently of tereyaki chicken, steak, rice, potatoe salad, chips, soda, stirfry, and of course cake to go around. Its been a great day and im so blessed. Happy Birthday Nehemiah!!!

St. George, HERE WE COME!!!

Okay everybody who is dedicated and set to achieve one of the most amazing goals and do it in the name of Michelle, October 3, 2009 is our offical date!!!! The St. George marathon has a "lottery" style registration process. Bad new for the 2008 marathon they had over 10,500 applicants with only 7,000 spots...the good news they moved that 7,000 up to 7,200 for the 2009 run. I've been trying to figure out how we could all get a guarenteed spot, and theres a couple options (however niether is guarenteed) the first being, i could try to make "We Love Michelle" a charity and if it was accepted as such, we could all have a guarenteed spot. the second option is, and i dont know how everyone feels about it, in the registration they give you the option for "group registation" that means that up to 5 of us can register as a group and we will count as one, so one chance to get picked either all 5 get picked or none of us get picked... This is all a little too stessful for me because i REALLY want everyone who wants to run this for Michelle to have that chance. So let me know what you think about the two options i've found so far... oh and registration starts on April 1 at 12:01AM!!!!
