How rude!

I have to brag on my husband before I get to the rude issue...

Jim and I have tried to make it a priority since Sam was born to have regular dates. Lately, we have really made it a top prioity because with 2 kids here pretty soon I know it will be harder....so Jim decided to get tickets (all on his own, all his idea) to Cirque du Soliel Saturday night. He then made dinner reservations for us, and he kept that a secret all week. We ate at the Sundial atop the 72 story Westin downtown, very romantic.

Anyway, the show had an intermission about halfway through of course, so we decide to go get a drink. The rest of the place did too, so it was pretty crowded in the little refreshment tent. We got in a line of about 15 people and were waiting there for at least 10 minutes before we got near the front. We were in the line closest to the entrance. This older lady walked up and basically tried to cut right in front of us. Then, a younger guy did too. Jim told him that there was a pretty long line when this guy decides to also ask about 6 of his friends what they wanted him to get for them too. He was so RUDE. He was saying, in a whiny voice I often hear from Sam, "You pushed me out of line, I was in a line." I mean, really. Then the older lady says, "I didn't know you were all in line." No, we are just hanging out in the refreshment tent FULL of people to NOT get a drink. Am I just pregnant and hormonal, or does this rudeness bother anyone else? It is one of Jim's pet peeves, so that doesn't help my attitude I suppose.

But, despite the rude people at intermission, and the fact that I was sitting behind "Mr. Big Head" himself, the show was great. I highly recommend it! Jim loved it too and is already talking about getting tickets again next year.

It's Official...the nursery will be PINK

We had a 3D/4D Ultrasound tonight to get another peek at our baby girl. Jim is so cute about having a baby girl, he has really already totally fallen in love with her! We were starting to get paranoid looking at all the pink stuff when "she" had been so stubborn at every past ultrasound. She still had her legs crossed tonight, but we did get a quick 2 second peek and it is finally official! The pink wallpaper will be going up soon! She kept cuddling up to me, and she was sucking on her thumb some. We think so far she is turning out to be the "anti-Sam", so maybe she will be low maintenance....hmmm...one can hope, right? The ultrasound also measures her as "average", so the technician told me she would most likely be around 7 lbs. - 8 at the most. Now, before Sam was born they told me he would barely be 7....and we all know how that turned out (9lbs 2.5oz), so I am not holding my breath...but I do have some glimmers of hope!

Utah Trip

Ok...so it took me this long to recover from our Utah trip in December. Though it was a wonderful trip, I don't recommend traveling the week before Christmas. It made getting ready for Christmas more hectic than usual.

We left EARLY on Dec. 14th. When we arrived in Park City, there hadn't been "much snow" according to them. But people, let me tell you, for a girl who grew up in GA, it was a lot even then. Sam was soaking wet playing in the snow in every median. We immediately had to go to Old Navy, and buy waterproof snow clothes for him to wear for the week. If there was a pile of snow, he would be diving into it. It was a battle we chose not to fight, it was a lot like his usual attraction to puddles. By the time we left 5 days later, they had gotten over 25 inches in Park City. Temps ranged from -10 to about 20 degrees....but Sam never complained. His ears would be SO RED and I would have to beg him to come in for a break and to wear his ear band.

We were able to go snowmobiling (not my fave) as you see from Sam in the ski mask, he was ready for anything. The snow was so plentiful on the mountain, Sam stepped off of the path and I literally lost him. It was over his head!

Sam and Jim got to go snow tubing twice, and Sam learned how to ski. Jim was great teaching him. He just had Sam stand in between his skis, and off they went. I was impressed!

We all got to ride in a one horse open sleigh. This was my favorite part of the trip. The views were truly amazing!

The picture of Sam with the elves was before going on the Polar Express. Yes, that's right, we rode from Heber City all the way to the North Pole! It was a great trip....we are already trying to figure out how to go back next year....just not in December.
