m & m's

"when you're an m&m, remember there might be a large peanut inside you."

mike and i laughed when we saw this commercial a couple of weeks ago.

i think i really do have a large peanut inside me.

ice cream making for rookies.

our ice cream experience was a little disastrous...M&M are definitely NOT ice cream making pro's yet (for more details, you may read the full story on my blog by clicking here). we wouldn't have survived and succeeded if it weren't for the help of the mommers! so, thank you for taking all of our crazy calls and questions. because of your wonderful tips, we enjoyed a delectable, delicious, savory, yummy treat!

let's just say, we were more than satisfied.

FINE, you can all come to utah so we can share our ice cream with you...

p.s. next stop: great grandma's homemade vanilla recipe.

A Wonderful Day.....

Ok, so I am trying to figure out this blogging stuff and found this picture and decided to try and post it as I have been wanting to post some pics and stuff about our family visiting us last Thanksgiving and Christmas. So please forgive this being out of chronological order. It takes us awhile to catch on to this technology stuff. This picture was taken Friday, December 28. We went into Berkeley to Anthropologies and to the Crate and Barrell Outlet, just to look around. We then went into San Francisco and had a late lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. It was very cold, but very Christmasy at Union Square. This was taken there as we headed back to our car. We then drove down Lombard Street, which Mike has been wanting to do. Afterwards we went and spent some time shopping in Chinatown, which was really a blast. In spite of cold and somewhat rainy weather, we had a terrific time with M&M and appreciated them being here with us old folks. We can't wait to have them and their new baby with us this summer!! Thanks M&M, we love you!

Gettin' in to the Christmas Spirit

It's Christmas Time!!! I love Christmas, especially this year since I'm so burnt out on school this semester. To help get in the mood of the holidays we got a Christmas tree and some lights and they look awesome this year. Last year was our first tree and our first time decorating a tree without the help of our more knowledgeable and experienced parentals. Let's just say, it looked pretty ridiculous. This year, I think we figured it out a little more. Probably since Marci is a college graduate she can now decorate a tree. Here's some pics so you can enjoy our newest masterpiece. It's in our front room right by the door and in front of the window so you can see it from outside. Enjoy!

the little boy who loves to hug.

well, i thought i'd share this story with you guys because, well, it's kinda funny.

so i have this little boy in my class named Daniel- we call him Dani for short. Well, Dani looovvees to give hugs. he is so adorable- he just smiles all the time- so the hugs are usually happily received...until recently.

every day after school, i give my little stinkers a "high five" and a "have a great day!" before they leave. lots of the squirts like to give hugs at this point- which is so cute, and one of the great perks to the job (all the love!).

well, yesterday, Dani gives me this hug...except it was a total wrap around the leg...and neared squeezing my tush. i was like, "whoa there." i thought it was a one time thing.

today, Dani comes in for the hug....and well, he just latches on to the leg again. except his hands were DEFINITELY squeezin the TUSHY today. I jumped! (I think I scared him).

i kindly told him "thank you for the hug, but not so tight because of the baby..." (yeah right- not so tight because that's my BUM!) and he just smiled. (side note: i'm totally embracing the whole baby thing- you can get away with anything!!)

it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. what do i do if the bum squeezing persists? it's not like he's a 5-year old perv. he just loves to hug....
