Sorry I forgot...(and Libbi news)...


Sorry I forgot to post this little nugget.
This is from the Dec. 29 BSU-BYU basketball game where BSU took it to then #28 BYU. I threw this together in photoshop that night while everyone was playing games. The only thing I can add to the picture was that there is no picture that could have captured some of the priceless expressions on their faces. I still laugh, sometimes even too hard, just thinking about it. (FYI, you can click on the image to increase it's size.)
Just to keep everyone from getting all confused, "TBA"= Taco Bell Arena, and that is the only time you'll hear me address the Pavillion as such a dirty name, but the abbreciation fit within the room on the picture. Go Broncos!
BTW-Calli was ordered to a somewhat strict bed rest order from our doctor. Our pediatrician expects our OB to induce Calli anytime. We're all just sitting around the house waiting...impatiently. Stay tuned from the impending big day and the news following!

Update 1: Trading Spaces: Libbi's Room

The newly remodeled nursery for Libbi.
Calli's mom, Sharon and Calli's good friend Heather came over for the weekend to paint and decorate Libbi's new room. Calli was really excited to get it done. Calli once again proved that if she wants something bad enough, she'll get it. I told her six months ago that I would not, under any circumstance paint any wall in my house pink...well, you can see for yourself. Thanks Sharon and Heather!!!

Can't have a party without a cake!

Update 3: Calli's Baby Showers











Here are a few pictures from Calli's baby shower here in Pocatello. I'd like to put some pictures up from the Boise shower, but i can't remember where I stashed them, so look for those sometime soon. We got more loot than we ever imagined, and thank everyone for their thoughtfullness and generosity.








Update 4: My first helicopter ride


My first helicopter ride with Kent over a cloudy, rainy Lewiston. I have to tell everyone, this was one of the most fun things I have ever done, even though the free fall bit, where Kent wanted to let me feel a simulated power failure about made me make a mess in my seat. Thanks Kent! I can't wait to do it again. Also, I'll post a video of the flight (I recorded the entire thing) when I get a chance to do all the editing.


Kent and Me preflight Just me preflight




The helicopter.

To answer a few questions:
1. Yes we both fit.
2. Yes, I barely fit.
3. Yes, we had to siphon out fuel to make room for my added poundage.
4. I only got in Kent's way once during flight.
5.Yes, we both fit, quit asking.
