Operation...

So Cody has been conducting surgery in our home lately and from what I hear he needs a lot more practice :)

Thanks for the game Devo!

Ok...so I know this picture is disgusting but once again I am a biologist and stuff like this totally fascinates me. I am nasty sick right now. I have a sinus infection plus this weekend for some reason I had all the other sicky symptoms no one wants: cough, fever, sore throat, diarrhea, nausea and the occasional puking. Plus, my baby is growing out of control...that's another story though. So Cody has this thing called a netti pot which is supposedly to clear out your sinuses: you pour some salt water solution up one nostril and the nasty mucus stuff comes out the other side...this didn't really work for me--nothing was coming out and then I made a little cough and all this stuff came out. It totally freaked me out...but good news I am a- o- k!

Chubby Bunnies...

So I was talking to by sis-in-law, abby, the other day and since we are both passionate gamers we were discussing which ones we played that weekend. She said she played Chubby Bunnies. That made me laugh because I thought it was just plain hilarious to think of her and my brother, devn and my mom sitting around stuffing marshmallows in their mouths. When I asked how many her daughter Ellee (2) could fit in Abby was really confused...so it turns out that they were really playing killer bunnies (a supposedly awesome game) and not chubby bunnies...heehee silly me! So not giving up on my daydream of seeing a two year old with marshmallows hanging out of her mouth, I took advantage of the time I had baby-sitting my other niece Amari. The game didn't last long (she could only fit in one big-marshmallow and then couldn't say a thing)...but she sure is cute!

Happy New Years!!

Yay! It is 2009. Crazy! I have some pretty big goals already set for me and IAM SURE THAT THIS YEAR WILL BE THE BEST ever.
#1 GOAL: To have a healthy baby
#2 GOAL: To finish my masters
#3 GOAL: to be a better and more supportive wife (after the first two goals are accomplished! :))

So Cody and I spent New Years in Prineville, Oregon with his family at their cabin. It was pretty awesome as we played games by the fire. If we look a little rough in these pictures it is because...well we were roughing it! Of course it was only Cody, Me and Ashley (pictured above) that stayed up for the actual New Years Celebration. We have been addicted to quiddler this Christmas season...
