Yay for visitors :)

Mom, Becka and Lincoln made a trip out here to NC for a fun visit. This was Becka and Lincoln's first time out here. It was SO much fun to have them all around. Here's a few pic's from our adventures...

Becka and Linc just after arriving.

Linc was a little unhappy at the ward Trunk or Treat (he was a lion, but you probably can't tell)

We went to see the pirate/shipwreck exhibit at Discovery Place

Linc loved trowing the balls into the elipse display at DP (his enthusiasm doesn't exactly come out in this photo though...).

He also LOVED Sparco (when he said it it came out sounding more like 'gecko'). He spent most of the visit looking for him and saying 'where's gecko?'. (Matt took this photo with his phone).

We also had a few camera lessons. Becka bought Tara's old camera (which was first mine before Tara bought it from me (I'm glad to see it keeps on getting loved! It sure treated me well)) and mom is interested i possibly getting one just like Kim's. We went over a few basic concepts and techniques.

Another think we did was wash and organize all the baby clothes I had gotten for the boys.

Just hangin' out :)

It was awesome to have you all over for a visit! I can't wait until you can come out again!! Love you!

Baby Shower

Baby Bump

My friend Clair was kind enough to take some super cute preggo pics of me (and we threw Matt is for a few, just cause he hates having his picture taken...).

I LOVE them!

Thanks, Clair!!! Just let me know when you want me to take your preggo belly photos :)

What NOT to do...

I was watching the Food Network the other day and Tyler Florence had a little 60 second tutorial during a commercial break. He was explaining the best way to re-heat a slice of pizza. He said that microwaves were bad because they made the crust soggy and the oven was bad because it turned the slice of pizza rock hard. Tyler said the best way to re-heat pizza was in a skillet on the stove top. Interesting...

Matt and I had some leftovers from PJ's so, I decided to try it Tyler's way (I'm an eat it cold, or re-heat in the oven kinda gal, but Matt likes the microwave because he's impatient).

Umm... here were my results of the stove top re-heat...

Yeah, not so good. We had some more pizza so I decided to try it again. I turned the burner down a bit more (med-low at this point) and put 2 more slices in. Same result! The bottom totally burns before the top can even get slightly melty again.

Sorry, Tyler, but I think I'll stick to eating my leftover pizza cold.

U2

I've never been to a U2 concert before and always wanted to, so when Kim found out they were coming 'near' us, she got us tickets right away. We drove 4 hours to Charlottesville, VA to see them and it was an awesome show!!! Thanks SO much for inviting me Kim! The only bad thing was that they wouldn't let me take my big camera in (they said the U2 is particular about who takes their photos... weird excuse because I'm pretty sure EVERYBODY there took their picture...), so the photos aren't as good as they could have been...

Muse was the opening band. This was also quite a treat! They were awesome. I only wished they played more than 7 songs...

Me, Kim and Bruce getting ready for the big show :)

This stage set up was the most elaborate set I've ever seen before. Apparently, it takes 3 days to put up and take down and 120 semi trucks to haul it around. U2 has 3 of these sets so they can make it to all their concert dates. CRAZY!

Check out the expanding TV in the center...

Hello Bono!

Such a fun night!!! 'Party baby' had a blast too!

September Fav
