The latest...

So I just returned from my Ohio trip and I almost did everything on my list (except taking  a dance class or seeing my grandparents from AZ - they couldn't make it) and I had the BEST time. Here are some pictures from my visit. Enjoy!

Going to Ohio....

I'll be going to Ohio in just 10 days to visit my family - and meet my niece! It's during my spring break, but Sean teaches in a different school district so we have different spring break so he'll be staying in Idaho. Here's my to do/ wish list for while I'm there:

-hold Baby Lillia

-hang out with Sarah and Matt

-take a dance class

-eat lots of Panera Bread and my chinese rice

-hold Lillia some more

-see Becca and Jon's new place

-see Brian's house

-go shopping

-spend time with family (including my grandparents who'll visiting from AZ)

-take lots of pictures

-hold Lillia

-There's lots more but they really just have to do with Lillia....you get the point   :o)

Oh, I can't wait!!!! 

Presenting Lillia....

One happy family

Baby Lillia

GREAT NEWS!!!! My little sister, Becca, had her baby yesterday evening and we're all sooooo happy for her! Becca and Jon named their little girl Lillia Jayne. I am the happiest aunt in the whole world. While I don't feel it's really fair for me to be the first one to post all their beautiful baby's pictures I am going to cheat a little and include her footprints. That's okay, isn't it? Hopefully Becca will agree. I assure you though, Lillia truly is so incredibly beautiful. So congratulations to the proud parents. We're so excited she's finally here!

Look what I did!

My friend Janeese told me about a cool photoshop type program called photoscape.org Turns out this program can't download on a mac so I tried it on my school computer and it's so fun! I only had these four pictures on my computer. If you have a PC you should totally check it out.

Since then...

We've been pretty busy since my last post. First of all, I've starting taking a dance class! Woo-hoo! Ever since I graduated from BYU-I I've been so sad because there's really no place in Rexburg that offers dance classes for adults (I had written "adult dance classes" but thought that could be taken the wrong way). Anyways so after our last CDT reunion class (where Whitney taught us two broadway pieces of choreography - SO great!) I learned that my friend Sarah was teaching a modern/jazz class for college age girls and that even though I'm about 8 years too old, I was able to take the class. Turns out this class is so wonderful. It's the perfect level of challenging, but not to the point that I'm too sore to walk the next day. I'm already looking forward to our next class.

The next thing that has been taking up a lot of our time is Sean's mom, Kim, is in town. Sean's step-sister, Jamie, and her husband Patrick had their baby one week ago today. They named their little boy Connor and he is absolutely perfect. We were lucky enough to be there at the hospital when he was born and we've seen him almost every day since then. Kim will be here for another week so we have 7 more days of enjoying her delicious meals (even though they're really cooked for Jamie and Patrick!)

Baby Connor!

Okay so I really don't have much to blog about so I thought I'd post a photo of my new 'do. My friend Amy, who goes to school at Paul Mitchell cut it and she did an awesome job. It looked better yesterday when she did it (I can never seem to replicate it!). Anyways here it is:
