Arnold/Harvey baby Shower

On Saturday June 4th was the Arnold/Harvey baby Shower.
I had so many friends show up it was amazing. My family put out some wonderful food. That i ate way to much of (what can i say I'm pregnant). Thanks to Wendy and Megan and Hailey who drove all the way from Idaho Falls just for this occasion. Thanks to the Arnold who got me a jumper chair that i am most excited to use. Thanks to the Harveys' for the gift as well as setting this whole thing up so i could come enjoy the experience with family. Thanks to all of my Heber gals who came (and also to those who didn't) who have supported me through out my life. You are all so wonderful.
Jake and I are so grateful to everyone for all the gifts we were given, they will be extremely handy (especially the clothing-which i still don't have enough of). With the money we were given Jake and i bought a diaper bag, crib, changing table, and travel system (stroller/car seat combo). Jake is in the process of sanding the changing table so i will put pictures of the baby room and everything after that is done so we can show off his handy work.

Shays Graduation

On Wed June 1st my littlest sister Shay graduated from Wasatch High School.
I'm so proud of her. I still cant believe that my youngest (living) sibling graduated. I must be old.
The graduation Ceremony was very good. They had two co-valedictorians speak. Principal Sweat spoke and it was a very touching speech. This was his last year as principal.  Debbie Jones (one of the school board members) spoke as well and she had great advice coming from the perspective of a mother. Shay had something like 300 + in her graduating class.

So i drove up to Heber Wed morning got there just in time to get my dogs settled before heading off to the event center where the graduation would be held.
The unfortunate thing is that my camera was really crappy, and my moms camera died, so we used my Grandpa Arnolds' camera. i thought i was being smart when i said i could transfer the pics off the SD card onto the computer after the graduation and then just make a CD off the computer. however my grandpas SD is made specially for the camera and my dads laptops SD card slot wasn't working. So i had to wait for my brother, Spencer (who is living with them), to mail me a picture CD. (ill add more pics when i get the cd)

Bye Dragon

So Jake and I had decided that because of our little baby coming that we needed space for all the fun things that come with having a baby. So we decided that because Dragons' cage was taking up a lot of space that we would get rid of Dragon, not because we wanted to, but even if we got rid of the cage Dragon would have no where else to go because he couldn't fit into a smaller cage-especially not with all the growing he still would had to do.
We got Dragon in August 2008 while we were dating, and it has been really fun having an iguana. Learning about them, overcoming my fear of lizards (for the most part).
We have had him almost 3 years (in August). You were a fast little guy. You loved to have baths, except when you got to big for the tub and would climb out whenever you felt like it.
So today Jake's friend Wes came over and helped us move the cage and Dragon to the pet store here in Cedar City.
It was actually a lot harder to say goodbye then i thought it would be for an iguana. but i guess having him for 3 years you do get attached in a way.

I know the pet store will take good care of you Dragon. I hope whoever becomes your new family will take care of you as good as we do (or even better).
love Mom.

Mail

So Jake ordered a cover for his office chair to help him sit more comfortably in it with out hurting his back. We ordered this from walmart.com. This is how it arrived.

This is how many came when out of the box. We counted 125 of them.

This is what it looked like when we first opened the box. they almost popped out there were so many.

This is how big our box was comparted to the box they mailed it in.

Revamping

So when Jake was a little boy he and his grandma painted this desk. Well we decieded to revamp it by painting the desk blue except for where he did his little handy art work.  Here is the finished product.
