Jeremy and I had a nice Memorial Day weekend.  On Friday was my last day of school with students!  That night we went to Cenzetti's an Italian all you can eat restaurant with Natalee, and kids Jeff and Jami and Kids and Grandma and Grandpa Jim.  Madeline also came.  It was very sweet.  It was to celebrate the birth of my little guy.  A family shower.  I love my family!  They are so good to me.

I will have to get pics from my dad and brother Jeff.  Everett, Natalee's little guy, was posing with Jeremy so cute!  He could not stop smiling and it was the cutest thing ever.

The pictures I do have are of the Johnson family.  Jeremy's parents came this weekend and on Saturday we all headed up to Estes Park.  We walked around and then went up to Rocky Mtn.  National Park.  Jeremy of course had to fish!

Birth Class

I signed Jeremy and I up for a birth class on Saturday. It was well, both good and interesting. The good things are that I was able to watch a birth that showed everything, even the placenta coming out and I was completly fine with the whole thing. I found it beautiful. Every birth we viewed on the video made Jeremy and I both tear up. It is such a spiritual thing I think.

Jeremy and I were the youngest couple in the class. I am 31, so that made me feel real good. There was a lady that I swear was 40 something with her boyfriend, husband,???? who looked younger then me. Jeremy and I both thought it was her son coming to support her in her husbands absence but we were mistaken. Speaking of young...Jeremy and I kind of behaved like immature teenagers a few times. I just got the giggles and could not stop. At one point, I had to leave the room.

First of all, the lady had a doll and a pelvis that she was demonstrating the birth process with. I don't know why I found it so humerous but I could not stop laughing and seeing Jeremy laugh made it worse. The teacher passed around the doll and pelvis so we could see close up and Jeremy had to put the pelvis over the baby's head like a super hero, again making me laugh.

The one that sent me out of the room was when the teacher, with a dress on, sat on the floor to demonstrate labor positions, spread eagled Jeremy and another husband. If you saw the look on the two guys faces, you would have laughed too. I could not control myself. After the class, Jeremy said, "I am just thankful she wore underwear".

I hope all you mothers had a wonderful Mothers Day. I did! Jeremy made me steak and crab that was really yummy and then let me sleep for two hours for a long Sunday nap. We then went on a walk around our beautiful neighborhood and looked at everyones beautiful green lawns and hoping that one day ours will be the same.

It's a small world

Jeremy and I at the wedding.  He had to touch the belly!
He loves to stick out the tongue.  I think 1/2 of our wedding pictures have his tongue stuck out.
Cake Mom made for my friends wedding.


Jeremy and I had a busy weekend this weekend.  On Friday we went to a paint your own pottery studio and Jeremy painted Mother's day presents.  I painted a couple of tiles for the house.  Mine are cute and Jeremy's are works of art.  This is the second time we have been to a paint pottery place and similar to the first experience everyone in the store commented on what a great artist Jeremy is and how beautiful he paints.  My husband is so modest but after we left, he said, "I think I am starting to believe I am pretty good."    I will post pictures of our creations when we get them.

On Saturday, we went to my friend Joy's wedding.  It was fun.  I was her visiting teacher about 4 years ago when I attended the Arvada singles ward.  Joy joined the church shortly before I was assigned her as one of my sisters and so I had the opportunity to give her the new member discussions.  It was really cool.  She was married in the Denver Temple to a great guy!  She is an eye doctor and when Jeremy moved out here, I had him go to her for his eye care needs.  So Jeremy has built a relationship with her as well.

Here is the funny thing though.  So Jeremy and I enter the wedding and there are little cards telling us where to sit.  Jeremy spotted one for Jeff and Jami Downs.  Jeremy asked why Jeff was invited?  I said, "I don't know."  Well we walk into the wedding and there is Jeff in the corner being the D.J.  I thought Mom might have recommended him since she was doing the cake.  NO!  Jeff works with Joy's new husband's family.  He started his company, Best Practices with the grooms brother quite awhile ago and they asked Jeff to D.J the wedding a long time ago.  He had no idea that Mom did the cake.  

I told Jeremy, "I guess we were the lucky ones and got to be the guests at the wedding and not the service people."

Jeff told his co-worker, "I guess our family will provide it all, D.J, cake and if your lucky we will throw in some guests!"

Small world in Mormon land.

Our weekend was not over yet.  Dad gave us some tickets to a Rockies game and we could not find anyone to go with.  So I sold them to a scalper for $20.  His loss because no one came and sat by us, meaning he did not sell our tickets, Jeremy and I bought Rockies Dogs and drinks thanks to Scalper Man.  Thanks Dad for the tickets and Scalper Man for the treats.  

Oh, It is almost 10pm and tomorrow starts another week.  15 days left of school!

bye, bye for now!
