In case you don't know...

I am officially past 12 weeks. Only by a few days, but still. We are expecting an addition to our family somewhere in the vicinity of June 3rd, 2010. Cool, huh? We are uber excited. :D We heard a heartbeat a few weeks ago, and I have to say it is such a comforting sound. We were worried because it was taking a while to find it. But find it she did. ::sigh:: Life is good. I've been taking pics each week watching my belly get fatter and fatter. It's fun. Maybe I will share them. And maybe not. We'll see.

So, I went and saw New Moon last night at midnight. I am an old lady. I was getting all sleepy during the previews. I am glad the movie started, or else I may have slept through it. It was so fun to go and see! I thought it was good. Much better than Twilight. The Volturi were creepy, Jacob was sweet, Edward was irrational, and everyone looked so lovely. The wolves were beautiful, the tone was sappier than I expected, but it was quite good.

I've been really lazy lately, hence the no blogging, etc. I suck at being motivated right now, but music helps. It'll be better.

I have a new calling on the horizon, too, and I am quite scared. My faith is lacking, and I need to get it back to where in needs to be, but I'm excited too. I hope I don't screw too many people up in the process.

Well, I am going to do some dishes. Wish me luck.

a little horrified?

Okay, so Miaya has her dance pictures coming up next week. I got a packet of paper from her dance teacher on Tuesday telling me all the different rehearsal dates and times, and also what Miaya should be wearing. Before I got all these papers, my biggest concern was that Miaya's hair is very short, so I didn't know how that was going to work out for any hair do's. It turns out she needs to wear makeup, which I don't wear, so there's a bit of a conundrum. Not a huge one, but I'm doing research so I can do it. hahahaha. In my research I came across a blog that is for cute girls do's. In this particular video, I was a little bit horrified. It's probably because my mom never took a flat iron to my hair. Ever. I did that. hahahahaha. But I thought it was a bit much to style the girls hair just for school in this way. It's cute and all, and maybe this wasn't an everyday occurrence. I can't even tell you why this horrifies me, but it does, just a little. :O

It has helped me see where I don't want to go with Miaya. This particular blog has little to do with this conclusion. I want Miaya to be a little kid. I love her dance class, and I love her dance teacher. I love that Miaya so thoroughly enjoys dancing. However, she is 3. Thank goodness. I don't want to go overboard, and so I shall try not to.

And, I have to say, that blog really does have quite cute hair do's for little girls. :D

The first star I see may not be a star

I don't think I have mentioned much about Miaya's dance class. She goes to dance class once a week for 45 minutes. She loves it so much. Her teacher, Miss Margene, is so excellent with kids. So in December, Miss Margene puts on a production of the Nutcracker. This past week Miaya got her costume for it. She is going to be a fishie. I am pretty excited. I will have to take some pics of her in her leotard. So fun. Miaya can do pointy toe, skip, hop, spin, twirl. hahahaha.

Kaffitima

So today Miaya and I had kaffitima. I don't know what else to call it. I adore it! Melisa probably remembers it well. We had it EVERY day at Perla's house. Such a great thing. Have some kokomjolk (the best chocolate milk in the whole universe) or juice. And some vinabraud. Kleinurs. Okay, that sounds so good. Maybe some cookies.

We just had milo, peppermint tea and toast. But it was lovely. :D And so fun.

a fun room

I love this room! What a creative lady. Miriam's creativity with stuff is very similar. She is constantly buying things that look a bit drab and making them into something amazing! Well done. I want to do something amazing with Miaya's room. She is moving into our room in the next few months and Dustin and I will finally be in the master bedroom. hahahahaha. It only took 3 years. :O

Likes and dislikes

I haven't blogged in a couple weeks. What a slacker. The reason being because I haven't done anything. ANY. THING. I haven't been feeling very good. But, I decided to let you know what I have and have not been enjoying lately. :D

Likes:

plain cheerios for breakfast. yum yum.

peanut butter sandwiches with apple juice.

ramen noodles.

salad.

water.

reading.

Dislikes:

the lavender chamomile soap I bought a few weeks ago. Disgusting.

cleaning. :( my house is so messy.

strong smells in general. :P

being cold.

lubriderm oatmeal lotion. so disgusting.

Oh, and poor Moose sometimes breathes on me and that really grosses me out. I send her away when she does this. Again, poor Moose. :(

Okay. That is all for now. I feel sick just thinking of the dislike list. How pathetic is that?

Dear West Desert, I love you.

This is in the middle of the desert. It's at this wildlife refuge in the middle of nowhere. Fish Springs. Seriously, we drove 63 miles off road, one way. It was so excellent. Lots of desert, rocks, dirt, wild horses, antelope, lizards, birds of all sorts, and even a snake.

Hello antelope. Nice to see you.

I saw the biggest heard of antelope of my whole life on this trip. I didn't get pics though. Oh whale.

Moody, no? That is the beautiful desert for you.

This is my favorite pic of the trip. I love my little family. Especially when we are all in a tree together. hahahahaha.

So stunning and breath taking.
