Shocked

I am completely shocked with the recent choices I've been making. Now before you get worried I have to tell you that I never thought that I would even have a desire to do the things that I'm currently doing right now....are you curious????? I have started running! I know I'm just as shocked as you are. I've talked and talked about how much I hate running and I don't think that it's fun and how I think that I'd much rather dance. I went to a hip hop class the other night and it surely wasn't a hip hop class-it was terrible! We were doing all these leaps, turns, rolling around on the floor and an occassional shoulder shrug-I think the person teaching the class thought that because we shrugged our shoulders jazz turned into hip hop. I hated the class. So we went to my Mom's house the other night and she decided to run a half marathon. I said-no way. I'm not interested. Cory happily joined ship and said-I'd love to run. Well needless to say I started running with Cory-thank goodness we bought a jogging stroller because it makes it fun to bring Isaak along with us. He usually falls asleep, but it's still fun to watch him.

Another shocker is that I signed up for a cake decorating class. I did enter some cake decorating contests when I was in grade school-I even won first place once, so I get to rekindle that old hobby. I also want to learn to do a fondant. Has anyone heard of a yummy fondant?

Lastly I want to start sewing. Why you might ask? I have no idea, but I really want to learn. My first project was inspired by Nemiha and some people might say that it doesn't count as sewing, but as long as I'm using a needle-it counts for me!!!!

Any hobbies that you want to take up? Carpe Diem!

I totally know what you mean! right before I got pregnant I took up running again and ran most of my pregnancy. I LOVE winter running, go figure.:) I need to get a jogging stroller!
and when I was pregnant I had this ITCH to sew and be all crafty. it doesn't look that great, but at least I'm trying.:)
where do you go to the gym? I tried hip hop when we lived in provo...I don't think I'm coordinated enough.

Hey I started running too-- for about 2 weeks and I actually enjoyed it but my knees hurt so bad that I couldn't walk normal for a couple of weeks so I am just walking now. I also took a cake decorating class last year and loved it, I want to take another one so I can remember everything! I don't think any fondant is yummy. Do you ever watch cake shows, they are my favorite.

Ahhh.... the nesting instincts that are emerging. Good for you! On your way to "Martha Stewart-ism"... except without the whole prison thing. Keep up the good work!

Haha

I have recently took up crocheting in the last couple of weeks and I had to stop myself from buying a sewing machine tonight at the fabric store. Something must be in the water. But I just recently gave up running seeing as how it irritated my disk, which makes me sad since I LOVE running. So run for me:) Carpe Diem

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...
