Movin Time

I am pretty sure that we have mentioned it to everyone that reads our blog by now, but I thought that I would make it official and ask for assistance. Next Thursday we will be packing our truck and cleaning house. For those who can help and want to help we'd appreciate it. We plan to start around 10:00 or 10:30 am and will be going until the place is empty and spotless (with a break for food somewhere in there). Anyway, thanks!

Christmas Party Mainia...

Well last night we had a double header for family Christmas parties. First we were off to the Johnson family Christmas party. It was fun and Jovin had his first opportunity to sit on Santa's lap. He doesn't really look like he cares too much, but at least he didn't scream and cry at Santa. Oddly enough as I was standing outside with Grandpa Johnson (waiting for Santa to show up so I could sneak Jovin's present on top of everyone else's so we could leave early and get to the next Christmas party that was waiting) I found out from Grandpa we have had the same guy come and play Santa at the family Christmas parties for the last 10 years. Which means that Cory and I have sat on the same Santa's lap as Jovin... (if I could find the pictures and scan them in I would.)



After Jovin opened his present from Santa (and enjoyed the wrapping paper more than the present like every other 6 month old does) we were gone as quickly as we could and headed off to the Partridge family Christmas party. We got there just in time to sing "Joy To The World" with the Killpack family and then participate in the traditional "white elephant" game. Cory got a game called Guillotine. We've played it before on our trip to Oregon with Kip and Kris. And we seemed to be the only one's at the Christmas party last night that wanted the game. Everyone else that had played it hated it. So we are hoping that it is still a fun game and that it wasn't just fun to us cause we last played it with Kip and Kirs. I got a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper... YES! Although, my mother-in-law was eyeing it too but I retired it in the game before it was her turn and since I know that is a favorite drink of hers (as well as mine) I split it with her.
All in all... It was a wonderful evening to spend with two families and eat a lot of good food.

6 months, and loving it...

Well Jovin is 6 months old already! How time flies by. He had his 6 month check up today. 17lb 9oz, 27 inches long, which puts him in about the 70th percentile for his age. He sits up on his own okay, but if he gets excited he will kick his feet and fall backwards. He loves to talk now too. He's ba ba baaaing, da da daaaing, and well everything else in the middle, but no ma ma maaaing yet. He has also discovered that he can be really loud now too. If he really wants your attention he will scream "Da da da da" until you give him your full attention.
Still just the two teeth so he is drooling on everything and there is a constant river of drool from his mouth to whatever he is touching. We will be starting more solid foods now too. (pictures of that to come...)
Jovin is really grumpy today. He has a cold and on top of it he got 3 shots at the doctors. But here are some pictures of him that we took of him yesterday. He was sort of happy yesterday because all he had was just a cold. Unlike today with the cold and shots.

Christmas Lights

Friday night we went to Temple Square to go and see the lights. They were as always really beautiful.

It was really cold and Jovin wasn't too happy about being stuffed into his coat. But I think he liked the lights.

We wanted to go and enjoy the lights since this is our last Christmas here. (unless we come back to visit during the holidays.) I'm really going to miss this temple.

Who we look like....

Well we took the advice of Holly and went to
MyHeritage.com Face Recognition
to find out which celebrities we look like. What you do is upload a picture and it will find the faces in the picture and then match it to different celebrities. It's pretty fun to do. Try to use a picture where the face is straight on. It works better. Have fun!!



Cory's was pretty interesting...
Tim Robbins, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, and my favorite David Beckam.




Ang's are as follows...
Meg Ryan, Avril Lavine, Julianne Moore, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie.





Jovin pulled up...
Michael Phelps (US gold medalist winner), Pierce Brosnan, and Ewan McGregor.
