New Do'

So I guess I technically should have posted this BEFORE the trip pics, but I was just so excited to get them up...ya' know? So yeah, I got my hair cut. SHORT. The shortest in my whole long life of 23 years. Well...maybe that's not long compared to some peoples lives...oh I digress. Anywhoo I got it cut! I decided that I wanted something new, exciting, fun, and more...summery? Well now it's 44 degrees here in Idaho so I guess the summery part is negate. How do you like it?

The Name Game

So finally after 5 months of puking and nausea and missing work I finally decided to quit my birth control. I don't know if any of you out there have had the same problem but I'm just not good with meds I guess. bleh! The good thing is that we were planning on going off in a month of two anyway, I just couldn't take it any longer. Our original plan flows like this: go off birth control in the fall, get pregnant in the winter, and have a baby in the summer! nice, huh? It will be so perfect if it all works out. I've always wanted a baby right off but since I only had one year left of school until my bachelors I thought it silly to quit so close to being done. Since I can't have a baby in the middle of student teaching (wouldn't you feel awkward giving birth in front of a classroom full of pre-teens?) and I get done in April-summer is the perfect time. Hopefully everything goes according to plan....we'll see. The tricky part is that Cameron's 2 married older brothers haven't been able to get pregnant so far (you know what I mean!) so we're a little worried. We've been thinking about going and getting his little swimmers checked out-I say give me a microscope and I can do it myself! (What's the point of taking all those bio lab classes if I never get to use my skills for anything cool?)

oh, so back to the topic of this blog-BABY NAMES. These are my favorites :)

The Great Salt Lake Trip!

  

Well we saved up all summer and finally scrounged up enough mula to visit Tyson and Ramona(Cameron's brother and sister-in-law) in Salt Lake City. We stayed 4 nights (labor day weekend) and visited Hogle Zoo (duh!), the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point, Boondocks Fun Center (Cameron just HAD to get into a go-kart), and Temple Square.They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but I think the one's below are worth 1,099. Can you guess where each pic was taken? 

Our trip started out nice and sun-shiny but come Sunday it was 44 degrees and raining like cats and dogs. Luckily we were able to go to most of our outside places while it was still nice. I highly recommend the Dinosaur Museum-it was freakin' awesome! It goes through time from the Pre-Cambrian period to present and shows fossils, diaramas, and models of things from each period. They even have a 3-D movie theatre with movies on the stuff you'll find inside (hence the funky glasses in the pic). Unfortunately Cameron wasn't feeling the best during most of the trip but he managed to still have some fun (especially at Boondocks where we drove the go-karts 6 times, played 2 games of lazer tag, and shot miniature golf to our hearts content). I was surprised when we went by the mall and Cameron announced he'd like to 'build-a-bear'! Hence the birth of Kirby Koala.
