May 2011

It was a pretty busy month that started off with my birthday, our 4th anniversary, and mother's day all in one week.  I gave Aaron a pass on mother's day this year to cut him some slack, but he won't be so lucky next year :)  I wanted a certain picture of Jesus for my birthday so I could put it in the baby's room.  The painting is beautiful!  I can't wait until we get the room all set up so we can hang it.  For our anniversary we enjoyed the day together and a night out to dinner.

Squid made this monkey for her little nephew.  I can't believe what an amazing job she did.  I can't wait till little ___ carries it around with him

Mudder got me the crib bedding from pottery barn kids that I wanted so badly.  What a neat surprise!

Aaron had a 3-day weekend so we headed over to Palm Desert for a visit.  It was fun to stay with Nate a Syd for the weekend and hang out with some of Aaron's family.  Syd and I enjoyed talking on a nice little hike.  We spend a lot of time rooting little Ryan on during his RC car race.  Other highlights of the trip included a couple trips to the yogurt shop and a delicious lunch at my favorite - Thai Smile.

It's so awesome that Syd and Nate are having a boy only 2 months after us.  They will be such close cousins.  Marcy had a mini shower for us and got us an assortment of identical baby items that were so cute!  Can't wait to have cousin pictures with their matching stuff.

A couple days after we got back from PD, Bruce, Marcy, and Ryan came over to visit us.  Marcy had a couple appointments with some tooth specialists so they made a mini trip out of it.  While they were here, Ryan had the opportunity to go through the Mesa temple.  Unfortunately I had work that night, but I'm so glad Aaron was able to go with his brother during such a special experience.  While they were here we made it to motorcycle/RC car track for a night.  I'm glad Aaron was able to ride his dirt bike one last time before it was sold.

Some exciting news from Aaron this month is that he filled his first cavity on a patient.  He is officially done with book work and has moved into the clinic full time.  He saw his first patient and drilled a couple cavities on her.  He said he was pretty nervous, especially since he technically wasn't supposed to be doing operative work until the next week, but his clinic supervisor felt confident enough in Aaron to let him at it.  Apparently Aaron rocks the clinic and impresses all of the doctors in there.  I'm proud of my handsome dentist husband and excited for all the opportunities that he's going to have in the next couple months as he sees patients and finally puts what he's practiced to the real test.

Aaron and I spent our memorial day painting the baby's room.  I've got a couple more projects to finish up for the room, we want to put up some crown molding, and we still have to find a dresser, but then it should be done.  Don't have a typical belly shot, but here's a pic with my best childhood friend Lollie at 33 weeks.  Lollie was visiting her family from OK and we were able to get together for a day with our moms.  Brought back so many good memories. 

 

I've resorted to wearing some of Aaorn's shirts because mine have gotten a little too snug for comfort.
