Big League Chew

You all remember that gum don't you. Well Carrie had a little gift exchange thing at her work and she came home with a bag of candy. In that bag was a pack of Big League Chew. And… well I guess I'll just let the video tell the story.

yup that's right, I ate the whole pack in one go. It was disgusting and I'm on a huge sugar high right now.

I think maybe I will go eat some vegetables.

amazing!

I know this has nothing to do with anything other then I

saw this and thought it was one of the most amazing

things I've ever seen. so I'm sharing it.

if you are not totally amazed you can have your

money back. in fact you can have double your money

back.

shower

Carrie's sister, Laura, held a baby shower for her this past weekend and I thought I'd just share a few photos with you all. and by a few I mean 2.

this first one is a picture of the cake that Laura made. 

and this second one is of Carrie and myself. 
okay so you probably could have figured out what the pictures were of without my little explanation but, it's too late now, I've already typed it and there is no way to remove text from a computer once it's typed. 

trip to utah

okay so I know it's been two weeks since we were there but here is a recap of our trip to utah.

we will start off with the most important thing. tyson let me ride his motorcycle. I have to say it was a lot of fun, thank you tyson. I didn't really like the cruiser style bike but after riding it I'm starting to change my mind. 

we went out to lunch with gary, fanessa and ender. I can't remember the name of the place but it was kinda like a cafe rio only better, much much better. 
we had a pizza party at mom and dad's where I snapped this amazing shot of nathan eating.
while in utah we got to meet cameron's wonderful wife sarah. It was nice spending time with the new couple whom we also went out to lunch with. 
this last picture is of sedona doing what sedona does best. 

The Birds

Out in front of our place there is a garden area, (nothing has ever been planted there, but the dirt is there) there is another garden area (flowers are planted in this one) just under our living room window.  The garden area is basically a big garden box. Anyway, there are a bunch of House Sparrows that use the garden area to take dirt baths in. This garden area is about 10 feet from our window and Carrie and I like watching the birds play in the dirt. 

Recently the Birds have been picking at the wood that is holding our air conditioner in. Which means that they are right next to our window. So I decided to place some bread crumbs out on the window ledge and see if I could get some photos of the birds.

Well about a week has gone by and I wasn't able to get anything. Until today that is. I heard them outside playing on the AC so I opened the window a bit and grabbed my camera. After standing motionless by the window for about an hour I finally got a few pictures. They aren't great because I was shooting through the window screen, but I thought I would share the pictures anyway. (and a long story to go with them)

These guys are playing just under our window

He was scared by the shutter sound before he got anything to eat.

Finally I got a picture of the bird eating the bread.

Max's First Halloween Costume

Jared and I got into the Halloween spirit last night and decided to dress Max up in his very first costume.  I only wish it was warm enough so I could go out trick or treating and reap the rewards!! 

Fall Colors

Thanksgiving was last monday here and since we had the day off we decided to go for a walk in the woods behind our place, and have a look at the wonderful autumn colors.

Bumbleride

Carrie and I spend the day driving around. Fist we went to go look at a condo but the real estate agent didn't show up. So we went to have a look at some baby stuff at Sears, then to Toys R Us. After that we stopped into Costco, back home for some lunch then back out to another baby store to look at a stroller. Then to a grocery store to get the things that costco doesn't have (or that we don't need 50lbs of) From there we went to another grocery store to get cream cheese. (the other store was all out) On the way home we decided to stop in at the cookie factory to pick up some ginger snaps. 

We are finally back home and we decided to set up the stroller, and because we knew that you would all be interested in seeing us set it up here is a video.

sick

This was one of the worst weekends ever. I've been sick since friday.

I wasn't feeing 100% friday evening but Carrie wanted to go out to eat. So what am I going to do, tell a pregnant woman she can't have what she wants. So out to dinner we went. We ate at a place called "The Keg." Your standard steak and potatoes kinda place. By the time we were walking out the door after dinner I knew I was in trouble.

Any way friday night was mostly okay compared to saturday. That's when the real pain started. I can honestly say that the headache that I had on saturday was the worst headache I've ever had. Then there were the far too frequent trips to the bathroom. Don't worry I'm not going to say any more about that. 

Carrie kept bugging me to check my temperature and I finally gave in. Well my temp was 101.8F. I knew my temp was going to be high, and I knew that if Carrie knew how high it was she was going to call her mom and, well that's exactly what happened. 

When I checked my temp again about an hour later is was on the way down at only 100.6F. So I decided to get the second mattress and sleep in the front room for the night. I didn't want Carrie to get sick or be bothered by me getting up throughout the night. 

Sunday was much the same. Except the headache was at about 30% of what it was the day before. Before I went to bed I did check my temp and it was back to normal at 98.6F.

Now it's Monday and I would say that I'm almost better. Luckily I don't have to go to work until 12:30pm and it's just for some safety training thing so I don't think it will take very long. At least that's what I was told last Friday and I haven't turned on my phone to see if there are any messages.
