Angie & Rossii's visit

Our friends Angie and Rossii drove up from Utah to visit this weekend. They arrived Thursday night. After spending some time talking and playing with Kimmie we drove out to the Oregon coast and stayed at Seth's aunts beach house. That night we played games, Seth and Rossii played Donkey Kong. I am proud to say Seth holds the high score but Rossii put up a good fight! Friday morning we went down to the beach and then did some shopping and headed back to our place. Friday night Scott came out with us and we all went to see the movie Counterfeiter. It is a German film so it had subtitles, but it was good, we recommend it.
Saturday morning Seth and I had a final so Angie and Rossii were kind enough to babysit for us. Sadly, Kimmie slept the whole time so all they got to do was peek at her in her crib. After our final we took them to see the Temple and to visit PCC's campus (Angie is thinking about transferring there). Then we went up to Council Crest so they could see the view and then it was off to visit Scott at his work event. Scott has a new job at a local radio station and they had an Easter event so we went. They had a "Mommy" easter egg hunt so Ang and I decided to do it. We had our attack plan all set and the countdown began but all the sudden the crazy mom's took off running before the countdown was finished, CHEATERS!!! I was only able to get one egg and Ang got two. Our eggs had candy in them and we also won a $25 gift certificate to Costa Vida. They also had elephant ears so we bought some. Ang & Ross had never had a an elephant ear before and they were delicious! While Scott finished work we did some more shopping, tax free! Ang & Ross introduced me (Chrissy) to Nordstrom Rack and my life will never be the same!
After shopping we met up with Scott and drove down to the Columbia River Gorge. The weather was great, a little windy but still nice. We finished the night with some Chinese food & Nutella ice cream and sitting around laughing. Ang & Ross are such amazing people! Every time we are with them I laugh so hard. We really enjoyed having them stay with us and Kimmie loved it too! We hope they had fun, we sure did! It sad to see them leave but we know they love Oregon and will be moving her soon, hopefully;) Here are a bunch of pictures.

90% sure

Tina (Chrissy's sister) had her ultrasound today and the doctor is 90% sure she is having a boy! I kind of wanted her to have a girl so Kimmie would have a cousin she could be extra close with, but we are still happy. He is healthy and growing as he should. I only got to talk to Tina for a minute today and I wish I could have said a few things to her, so I would like the chance to say them now.....
I am so happy that you and Scott are having a baby. I know that since moving to Oregon we do not see or talk as often as we used to and I just want you to know that I love and miss you. Life seems to be getting crazier each day and being so far apart makes it hard to let you know how much I miss you. I am so lucky to have a sister like you and a sister like Nicky-I love you too Nicky and I will dedicate my next love post to you, so keep an eye open for it:) I know I am not always the easiest person to deal with and I know life has not alway been easy for you but I am proud of you. You are going to be a great mom, I just wish I was close by so we could do it together. You will always be my favorite big sis and I hope you know that I am always here if you need me. Being a mom is not always the easiest, but it is the best thing you will ever do. I do not have all the answers, I am still trying to figure out how to do it, but if you ever need to talk I am just a phone call away. I love you and I am so happy for you and Scott. I pray that Heavenly Father will continue to watch over you and little Spencer (and Scott). Take care of yourself, get lots of rest and know that you are loved and missed! Here is one of my favorite pictures of me, Tina and my dad when we were young, you can see how much I loved her then and I love her more now (I think my pacifier is upside down, man I am a little trickster!)

Slide show

Here is a slide show of some recent pictures. They are mostly of Kimmie but a few of of Seth. He rolled his ankle playing basketball last week and since most of our posts are about Kimmie I figured this one should include Seth too;) His ankle is much better today and he can walk on it pretty well. The swelling has gone down but it is starting to bruise. He did the same thing when we first started dating. I included the picture from then to compare to this time. The weather has been great for the last two weeks. We have been going on walks every day (until Seth hurt his ankle) And Kimmie and I played outside and she loved it. Oh yeah, Kimmie rolled over twice yesterday! I missed the first time but Seth saw it. The second time happened at Seth's parents house and we all got to see it except for Papa (Seth's dad), sorry Papa maybe next time! Well, that's about it. Enjoy the pictures!
