Photobooth and Parents

On Thursday Adam and I had our parents over for the first

dinner. No, its not the first dinner we have had in our house,

but its the first time our parents have met. People might think

that only living 50 minutes from my parents and 2 minutes from

Adam's parents, that we would be able to get together plenty

often. However, with our busy lives that has not happened

until now. Things went great... The conversation never stopped

and the dinner though nothing fancy was tasty on the BBQ.

Just before leaving Adam wanted to show the Photobooth

pictures to the parents. Lets just say we all had a good laugh

at it. Tears rolling down my parents faces and I type of good

laugh..

Just in case you can't figure out who is in the photos
1. Jazzy
2. Me (alien me)
3. Mom
4. Dad

Coming Together

So MY house (technically it is still my house) ...

With much help from Adam is coming together.

It is looking more and more like home.. and I am enjoying

more and more coming home.

I am very proud of a few things..

1.  We put up my clothes line - I'll admit I was a dork in my 

personal excitement of a clothes line.

2.  I put in a garden.  I planted peas, beans (green and yellow)

Carrots, cucumbers, turnip, spinach, lettuce and pumpkins.

We shall see how it grows, but as you can tell from my photo

below something is growing great :) 

3.  We got a BBQ - I got it nice and dirty tonight cooking some

yummy lean sirloin burgers...

4.  My first Rose is blooming.  REAL rose.  Not wild roses.. They

are hard to grow around here but I thought I would try and to 

my surprise there is a beautiful orange rose blooming.. How did

they know Orange is my favourite colour?   

5.  My dining room chairs.  These things were not the easier to 

get my hands on.   Ikea - Gilbert chairs.  In the fall when Adam

and I went to Boston to a Patriots game we hit up Ikea down 

there and they were all out.  Shipping them was out of the

question due to shipping charges.  SO, when I was in Utah I 

checked and amazingly they had some.  I brought six chairs

back with me on my flights as my checked baggage.  Thankfully

the packaging was compact enough and light enough...

So here is a picture of the Living room.  The corner I am standing

in to take the photo is where the IMac is sitting.

My wonderful father made us the shelves.. We just need to 

figure out what to do with the middle shelves under the TV..

The other photos is of course showing off my love for my chairs.

The Dining Room.. We really like this room.. The sun is always 

very bright in the afternoon and evening...

So all in all things are coming together..

    

I "heart" our new IMac

First off let me tell you how different it is to talk in 

WE instead of ME...

So Adam and I did it.

We bought the new IMac.  She arrived sooner than we thought 

and though the FedEx guy missed us at home, we were quick to

drive across town in rush hour traffic to pick it up.  We were

actually right behind a FedEx truck and contemplated waving 

him/her down to see if they had our parcel in there.

We are so excited.

Of course we did the first thing anyone does when they get their

new IMac... We played on PhotoBooth.  Too much fun.

So here she is...

We are still learning all about her, but it was love at first "Isight"

UTAH

Granted I have been home from my Utah visit for about
a week and a half, but I had to say how enjoyable my
visit was... I got to finally see my new sweet little niece
Hazel...  She loved me :)  It had been over a year since I had

been down to Utah, and it was a much overdo trip.

I had a great time with my 7 nieces and nephews.

Went to Lagoon with Samuel, Alina, Cameron and

Cray-Cray .. They had a fun time watching their Aunt

Jenny scream her head off on the roller coasters.

I am a terrible aunt and really only had my camera out

the first day..

Henri was a bit shy with me at first, seeing how long it has

been and  how young he was when he last saw me.  

However, he warmed up quickly which was fun.  

I must say he made me tear up when I was leaving.

I spent some time down in Springville with Bess and Micah

and the kids, and then up to Roy with Amie and Gary and 

the kids.   When Henri realized I was not coming back with

them to Springville he asked me if I could come because

"I always misses you Jenny".. Lets just say I melted...

I wish both sisters would just figure out some way to come

live closer to me.  I miss them and the kids way too much.

Its amazing how much he looks like Bess....
