Bebe no phone...

If anyone has tried to get a hold of me in the last week or so with no response/answer there is a very good reason... my phone broke! After being totally without a phone for 3 days and feeling VERY lost and out of touch, my brother Nate came to my rescue by letting me use his RAZR (he got a new phone for his birthday). The good news is that I now have a working phone to answer calls. The bad news is that all my phone numbers were stored on my phone (not my sim card). So, I have a working phone but I do not have any numbers... So for right now, please leave your number if you leave a VM... Hopefully I will be able to retrieve the numbers from my phone with the help from my very cell-phone-smart husband when I get back to Seattle.

Nate's big 30!

My brother-in-law Nate turns 30 today! This past Sunday the family celebrated his birthday. It was the first birthday that we have had EVERYONE together! Dad, Mom, Me, Jinoo, Hannah, Nate, Amy, Jazlyn, Jason, Cooper, Jena (Coop's friend), Tyler, Sarah, & Joshua! It was so fun! When we sang Happy Birthday - there was so many of us it sounded like a choir - not a good one - but a choir nonetheless!

way too early morning...

We had to get up at 5:30 this morning to head back to the airport. We were all very tired but made it in good time. Hannah enjoyed her first McDonald's McMuffin. And we were off - back to PHX.

we danced all night...

Edlyn's wedding went off with out a hitch! Beautiful bride, beautiful bridesmaids, beautiful day (70s!!)! The wedding had a 1940s theme and it was absolutely lovey! Catering was complements of, Green (Mike & Edlyn's restaurant). It's Vegetarian cuisine and I have to admit, it was good (this is coming from a pretty picky eater)! We danced our bon bons off to the great Salsa Band - too fun! And Edlyn even graced us with a performance of Girl from Ipanema. Thanks Edlyn!

Our little Hannah loved being out on the dance floor with us and hammed it up for the cameras whenever they were around. I wonder who she gets that from?

We danced...

and we danced...

and we danced... 'til Hannah dropped!

daddy time...

It was great to have Jinoo with me and Hannah for this wedding weekend. Jinoo was such a big help with Hannah. I could not have done it with out him. I was running around - helping Edlyn get ready (and me too)! As you can see, they love to spend time together!

Wedding day blues...

We woke this morning with fog - thick and cold - think The Mist. Keep in mind that was 7am (yes, Seattlelites 5am your time!) But here it is noon - and the clounds are starting to part and it's blue skies stretching wide as you can see (and it's warming up)!! Looks like Edlyn's ourdoor wedding is going to be perfect! I'm off to get ready - Edlyn and the bridesmaids have pics at 2:30!

Everything's big in Texas...

Well, we made it! San Antonio!! Big hair, big trucks, big skies, BIG construction mess! It took us 30 minutes just to find a way onto the 410 W freeway. Can I say - Uh! Howdy, how 'bout some signs to help get 'round 'll the construction! Geez!

We arrived at our destination The Hotel Alsace late for the rehearsal - but I did get to run through the procession a couple of times - I do know my place in line. Then we were off to a rehearsal dinner at The Alsatian - I had a pasta veggi dish. Edlyn (the bride) looked so beautiful! I can't wait for the festivities tomorrow! {Pictures to be added next week since i forgot the USB cable to link to the laptop. Sorry}

Now it's 8 PM (Central) and we're trying to get Hannah in bed for the night - we have a BIG Texan day ahead of us tomorrow.

Until then...

And we're off... again...

Today we're off to San Antonio (SAT) for my friend Edlyn's wedding. Jinoo is flying into PHX to meet us and we'll all fly together to SAT. It will be a quick trip as we'll get in just in time for the rehearsal (I'm a bridesmaid) and dinner. Saturday will be the wedding (check back for pictures) and then we'll be off Sunday morning back to Phoenix. Jinoo will stay for the day then he'll head back to SEA that night. Hannah and I will be in PHX for another week or so... I'm waiting to find out when my sister's ultrasound appointment is.

A day @ Aunties

Today Hannah and I spent the day at my sister's. Hannah loves her cousins and her auntie. She started her morning with a group bath! So fun, until she got too much water in her face. Then spent the whole day playing! She fights sleep when she is around Jazlyn and Jason because she is so worried about missing out on something! This afternoon Jazlyn and I made princess cupcakes - with pink and purple frosting. Princess cupcakes would not be complete without crown, castle, or pumpkin carriage sugar decals! YUM!

An afternoon at the park...

Today I met up with a my friend Kijuana and her two darling kids at a local Phoenix park. Hannah had a great time watching all the kids and Devon and Nate (Kijuana's kids) had a great time riding their bikes and feeding the ducks. They even got to take some swings at a pinata! It was great to see her (she just moved to Phoenix from the DC area) as it has been a while since we both lived in Utah (almost 7 years ago). It is fun to have a friend here in Phoenix. I hope to see her again before I head back to Seattle.

Happy New Year

I have a great feeling about 2008! I think it is going to be a great year for everyone. And in true New Year's spirit, I have started my list of resolutions. My mom always says that if you WRITE your resolutions on paper, you're 90% more likely to accomplish them. I wonder if writing them on a blog counts?!? This is the start to my list...

• Lose weight - the baby pounds have to come off soon!
• Read (or watch) the news. I am great about reading junk - but I need to brush up on current events!
• Make it to Jazzercise 3 times a week (I went today - I'm off to a good start!)
