Kent's Best Day

Last minute, we went fishing last night on the South Fork and I caught three big fish in a row, even before Kent! He was thrilled and kept laughing and whooping. You have to understand we go fishing ALL THE TIME, but I usually courtesy fish for about 15 minutes then I sit down, or read, or just watch Kent. The other week he told me that when I catch a good size fish it will be the best day ever!

Excuse the tired, not so pretty look, it was 9:00 pm :)

Hair-brained and Scattered

On Monday the wind was awful even though it was sunny and semi-warm. After walking across campus having my bag, coat, and hair plastered to my body, I muscled my way into the car and said that's it, this stringy, windy hair has got to go. And within forty-five minutes it was gone. Well gone into an A-line cut.

After that, Kent and I raced to Idaho Falls to meet with our friends, Tyler and Amanda, for Tyler's birthday party.

Then yesterday, I raced around getting everything in place for our ward's Relief Society Birthday Party. It turned out really well, but I was too busy to get pictures. I had to get butter, tableclothes, plates, and ice. Then pick-up the catering from the school. Set out utensils, salt and pepper, water pitchers and every other misc thing. Then clean-up and deliver leftover meals. By the time I got home I was exhausted and what do I see? Kent had vacuumed, mopped, folded and hung up the house! And, AND he got me this snazzy hyacinth plant that smells heavenly. What a sweetie!

Also yesterday, in my "just-for-fun-stress-reliever" class we are making pillow throws and I found this awesome fabric, when it's put together I will embroider the center and put it in my house for some much needed color! One more thing, with the class we got these high-end gingher shears that are normally $60 for only $13 something! I will definitely be doing more cutting and sewing.

This Friday will be 12 weeks with the baby and I am excited for the first trimester to end. Last week we had an appointment and we got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler stethoscope. After a minute Kent says, "Is that two heartbeats?!" And the doctor says, "Yeah, mother and baby." :)
