mother's day

I don't have any photos of Mother's Day because I'm pregnant and still sick. That's my excuse and sticking to it. Corban/Joe bought me work out clothes (because I asked them to) and the CUTEST card. It was one of those recordable cards where Corban did all the talking. So now I have Corban at age 2 saying my name, where we live, his name, and a sweet message. This card is definitely a keeper!

easter

I'm 7 months pregnant and starting to feel sick again! I've kind of been awful at all the holidays that have passed so far, so I decided that Easter was gonna be different even if I threw up every where we went.

We went to the North Logan Easter Egg Hunt. Corban didn't particularly love the Easter Bunny. Funny thing though, right after we snapped some photos, he couldn't keep his eyes off the bunny and thought he was SO funny.

Yes, I made the piñata. Nothing says Easter like a piñata and hot dogs. Some friends and family went to my parent's house where we roasted hot dogs and broke a piñata. I only put one layer of paper mache on the egg so only two kids got to hit it. Oops! Next year it'll be better.

My only Easter decorations, but at least I decorated right? The garland is made out of old plastic eggs that I strung on a piece of twine and then tied pastel fabrics in between each egg. The hardest part was hammer holes into the top and bottom of the eggs.

We also went to the Wildlife Animal Easter Egg Hunt at USU. They advertised animals would be present. I guess they didn't lie because they did have a fish in an aquarium there. Note to self for next year: do not show up on time for this egg hunt if at all. They spread the eggs out an hour before they had the hunt. Corban kept running out to get some eggs and cried and cried when we had to haul him back to the sidewalk. We eventually just let him have three eggs and we left.

We tried to keep telling Corban that Easter is about our Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ. Hopefully he understood a little. It was a fun Easter and he got a lot of candy that I thought we'd give away but I'm doing a pretty good job of eating.

geocaching

A couple of weeks ago we piled in the car and did a little geocaching. We went down by the poo-poo ponds and the dump. Here's a photo of the Wellsville's by the ponds.

We decided to clean things up a bit and went to a local car wash to find another cache. We had to wait for a bit for the muggles to clear out and we saw this:


Yep. She's washing her dogs at the car wash. Ouch!

birthday bowling

Corban and Joe took me bowling for my birthday. Corban's little shoes were the cutest. Joe beat us all. Corban would jump up and down the whole time the ball traveled down the lane and was so excited even if we gutter-balled it for him. Now, whenever we drive by the Fun Park he asks to go bowling. We'll definitely go again.

jon bon jovi

For my birthday this year Joe took me to a Bon Jovi concert! It was a blast but keep in mind I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant and still a little sick. While most people were rocking out standing, I was bobbing along in my seat! I didn't mind. I could still hear everything!

(I stole this from the Salt Lake Tribune)

beatrice eudora beck

Joe's grandma turned 100 in February! Joe and his sister did a little research and found out that she's older than penicillin and income tax! Joe, Corban, and I drove to Green River to celebrate her 100 years on this earth.

Beatrice with her kids: Milt, Mae, Ron

The birthday girl with her cake.

Just as sassy as ever.

Here are a few things I love about Beatrice:

• She leers out at you from between her fingers. She doesn't want you to know she's looking, but she is!
• She doesn't like getting her picture taken and will tell you that she's gonna break your camera. I think she might jump out of her chair one day and actually do it!
• She sometimes thinks there are farm animals around her in the house. I've heard barking and mooing.
• The day of her birthday, she kept looking at her flowers and smiling at them!
• Someone was helping her into the car to go to her birthday party. They kept referring to her as "honey" or some other endearment. "Stop calling me hon!" she yelled. "What should I call you?" "How about jackass? That seems more appropriate."
• Over Christmas she was eating some cheese crackers. She got up and came back to her chair in the living room where she saw all those cracker crumbs in her chair! She proceeded to yell at those crumbs, "Why are you sitting in my chair? You know better than to sit in my chair!"
• She still loves kids.

Happy Birthday great-Grandma Beck!

I feel like a ...

... and I've got four months to go!
