And lots of dancing.

Christmas Eve 2011

We're in Colorado this year with the Hulme's. On Christmas Eve, we went to the Trail of Lights. It was so fun! But very, very cold. I couldn't feel my feet or legs by the end of it. We went to Chinese after which is a Hulme tradition.

Early Christmas

We leave for Colorado tomorrow morning, so Christian and I had our own little Christmas tonight. I didn't feel like packing extra stuff just to bring it back again. It was very fun! I got him a guitar game and he got me clothes.




Off to pack...I'm hoping I don't freeze to death.

that one time I realized I wouldn't make a very good mother

Soooo,
last weekend, we got to be parents while Steph ran a marathon in Vegas. All was going well on Saturday...and then it happened. The baby pooped. Who knew that babies pooped? Not me.

Solution?

Change her diaper!

I'm a little embarrassed to say, one whiff of that doodie and I started gagging til my eyes were watering. That's when I realized I probably won't make a very good mother. But Christian changed all the poopy diapers last weekend. So he'll make a great dad. Together we'll make success. I'll just shut our kids in their bedrooms until Christian is done with work, and then when he opens the door and the smell knocks him out, I'll just say, "What? Oh. He/She must have JUST pooped."

Other than that, we had a fun weekend with the girls! We went to school, the park, watched lots of movies, played lots of hide and seek and had lots of giggles.

Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving. We stayed in AZ and had dinner at Steph & Tyler's. We ate so much! The food was delicious. We also had lots of fun playing with the girls all day. We didn't do any black friday shopping this year, thank goodness. Unless you count a trip to Utrecht to buy architecture model-supplies.

An ode to the Bevan's

Last weekend was the best weekend ever. Why? Because the Bevan's where here! They drove all the way from Rexburg, ID just to see us! Okay...well they had important things to do in AZ that didn't involve us. But still. They were here. It was so fun to see them!

We went out to eat, shopped, pretended we were rich while looking at houses, and laughed all weekend. My abs hurt a few days later :) I always get a good workout when we see the Bevan's. We miss our best friends and we hope we'll see them again soon! Side note from the picture, I AM wearing a shirt. I thought it was peach when I bought it. Turns out, it's more of a nude tone. Okay, okay I lied. I just enjoy eating dinner naked.


In case you're wondering, "Who are these cool people?" I'll answer that with this Bevan-Hulme timeline.

SUMMER 2008: Danielle and Ryann are on the same volleyball team at BYU-I. They fall in love...with each other.

FALL 2008: The friendship deal is sealed between Danielle & Ryann after a night of cookies & laughter.

SPRING 2009: Christian & Ryann get married.

SUMMER 2009: Danielle visits Christian and Ryann in their dumpy apartment. She brings along a fellow named Jordan, who happens to be wearing a money shirt. Christian talks about the "awesome money shirt" and knows he's gonna like this Jordan character.

FALL 2009: Danielle & Jordan become the Bevan's.

SPRING 2010: Bevan's help Hulme's move into new apartment right across the street. For the next 365 days, the Bevan's & Hulme's become inseparable. We discover that Christian & Jordan are actually twins separated at birth, and Danielle & Ryann have developed telepathic minds that enable them to think the same thoughts, and communicate without speaking.

It was a sad, sad day in 2011 when we moved away. But, someday, we will be reunited forever, whether they like it or not...muahahahahahaha.

Big gulps, eh? Welp. See ya later!

winners

Here is Christian's finished model.






A few months ago, Christian made a wallet out of Tyvek (one of those tear-proof mailing envelopes) It was pretty cool and he got lots of compliments on it. This weekend, he wanted to make a better one. So he did:


Pretty cool huh? He drew on it with Sharpies and sewed it instead of taping it this time. I want him to make me one. Now, I just need to find a cool design.

Currently, it's Monopoly time at McDonald's and we are obsessed. Christian's friends at school even give us their games pieces because they know about our little addiction. We love having an excuse to grab a Coke from McDonald's everyday. Plus, we're really, really close to winning some BIG prizes.
