Owen learned how to feed himself today. :-)

Pinning Ceremony

A few weeks ago Tim went through a pinning ceremony for school to mark his LAST YEAR! He took his last final for the rest of his life now all he has left is 9 rotations lasting a month long each before he graduates! I forgot my camera (again! I forgot it for the White Coat Ceremony marking his first year too.) so our friends Amy and Chase obliged us. :-)

Newly Pinned.

The After party.


Congratulations Tim! We're so proud of you!

Big Trees.

While in California we all we to see the Big Trees! We were so excited but unfortunately optimistic about the weather. Believe it or not, it started SNOWING while we were there. We definitely weren't dressed for such intense weather so we had to speed through it a little as to avoid frostbite. Snowstorm or not, we didn't want to miss out on it entirely so we hiked it anyway!

California Dreaming.

We went for a visit to California to see Tim's sister and her family. It was such a great trip. Great food, amazing company and even some Cable TV! (One of the biggest luxuries we like to enjoy whilst on vacation.)

Here's a few other things we enjoyed:

We got to do a session at the Sacramento Temple one morning. 

Went to the zoo:

More to come!

Santa Fe.

We went on a day trip to Santa Fe yesterday. About time. We've only lived here 3 years and have NEVER been. It was so much fun to be out and about! We/I drooled over the street vendors jewelry, ate at a cute hole in the wall restaurant (where I found a guy who spoke Tagalog!) listened to some salsa music, walked thru a few art exhibits and visited a beautiful church. We didn't stay long since it was a little windy and we forgot our jackets but we'll definitely make a trip up again soon.

Better late than never!

About two months ago I decided to make Owen a quilt for his 1st birthday. That was the plan anyhow. It seems the universe was against me! My sewing machine broke twice and I finally had to have a lady at the repair shop sew the last few lines before the hand stitching started. Nevertheless, I prevailed! Owen finally got his birthday present from Mom and Dad.

I'm pretty proud of it even though it has several mistakes.

 I justify that it being my first I'm allowed a few mistakes here and there. :-)

As long as the birthday boy likes it!
