Valentines Day: Part 2 Dinner/Dance


Well on friday spencer and i had our own valentines day. Spencer heard about a Valentines Couples Dance the school was putting on called a Night in Paris and ask if i wanted to go. of course! it sounded like fun! They offered dinner before hand which was kinda good. Chicken Kiev, roasted potatoes, steamed veggies, really good rolls and apple walnut salad with poppy seed dressing. It was really good! So about the dinning arrangements... Well spencer and i both thought it was going to be like a couples kind of thing, ya know your own table and all. Well it wasn't. we were sitting right next to people we didnt know and one poor couple were on a first date kinda thing. It was funny to see how they interacted. After dinner the dance started. It was a semi formal/formal dance and it was fun to see all the couples come in prom attire. Most of the couples were not married and it was kind of fun to see them all. it reminded me of when spencer and i were dating and fell in love: ) It was really fun to dance with spencer, i've never really been to a dance with him! We really didnt dance too much, because my feet and hip were hurting really bad (i felt like a gma, lol) I had so much fun, even though it was kinda unplanned on the schools part. The dance kinda had the stake dance feel to it, but oh well, i had so much fun. It was kinda corny, but a good kind. I would totally do it again! It was one of the best (pre)valentines day i've had! Thanks spencer! I loved it!





ps....happy valentines day tomorrow! dont worry vday #3 post is next! lol. i just love this holiday!

Valentines Day: Part 1 Bowling!


I know i know, a valentines day post already?? Well, Spencer and I always seem to celebrate it early, because here in Rexburg, EVERYTHING is going to be packed on the day of love and there are going to be about zero people wanting to babysit. So we decided to have our family v-day celebration early. (our celebration is on the 11th! spencer is taking me to dinner and dancing up on campus! its called A Night In Paris!). We'll have a little celebration on the actual day....maybe i convince spencer to do this so i can have 3 days of fun! lol!!!
So for family v-day we decided to take adyson bowling for the very first time to Fat Cats. SHE LOVED IT! they had black lights and music going and she just danced the whole time and entertained everyone there (see videos!). They even had little shoes just her size. They were so cute i had to get a picture of them! They also have a arcade there and we decided to play a few rounds of skeeball. After bowling and games we went to Applebees for dinner (thanks mom and dad for the giftcard and the goodie box!!) It was an awesome time and i hope we can do it again next year!

family/prego update

So I know I havent really blogged about the whole family in a little bit so here it goes....

Lets start with Adyson! Well, what can I say, shes just my crazy, beautiful goofball. She always has new words to say every day. Her (or my) current favorite words/phrases are "are you kidding me? raise the roof, yes i do!, thumbs up,.....keep in mind that they are not spoken very clearly. Shes doing alright with counting and with colors.....well her favorite color is blue and so everything she sees is called blue. She always has the random names for her "babies" (any stuffed animal/doll). She will bring me a towel and ask me to wrap them up so she can rock them to sleep. Her favorite by far is Grandpa Bear. She stole it from my dad. Its a beanie baby bear that has a tie on that says #1 dad on it. gave it to him for a bday a while ago. I really dont know why she loves it so much. Her biggest accomplishment is that she is pacifier less!!!!! It was hard and still is, but i am so glad its gone! We're trying to work on getting her to fall asleep in her own bed and STAY there. Going to bed is kinda easy but when she wakes up in the middle of the night she comes and steals my bed! I'm so tired of it! literally!
Spencer is currently busy with school. He is doing great with his classes and i'm sure his favorite class is the photography class. He has some pretty good pictures hes taken so far, but he wont let me share them! (he does have to have a blog for the class.....hint hint).
and now its my turn..... Well as i said in an earlier post, i really didnt look pregnant and the baby was sitting really low. Well i think this little girl was listening to me, because she has definitely moved around a lot and my belly has shot out! I am about 6 months now....i think. LOL its hard to keep track when there is no positive due date. I have about 3 dates they have given me (14th,18th, or 21st of may). We pretty much go with the 18th.
(ok sorry about my look. keep in mind i am prego, tired, and dealing with a 2 yr old! lol)


well thats about all for the kings. just trying to survive the COLD rexburg weather! until next time!
