Day 3 of boredom

You would never know that I was here alone in Phoenix with over 3 million in the metropolis, but I am. Ang and Jovin decided last Monday to take a homesickness trip back to Utah for 3 weeks. If you are in Utah and would like to see them, give her a call, that's why they went! Anyway...

I have a list of things that I would like to learn eventually, whether by taking a class or just messing around and figuring things out. This list includes programs such as Final Cut, Live Type, Dream Weaver, Flash, xCode (Cocoa), HTML, Java. With those, I would then be able to do some of the projects that I have in mind (and on a list) such as creating a Deal or No Deal widget, and a DVD/slideshow of gospel things for Jovin.

I love technology, the things that computers can do now are incredible. And I would love to be able to do at least some of it... But finding the time to do it, I have not had. Also, I am enjoying my self chosen career path in Mech Eng, so it's not that I want out of that or anything.

Since I have a little free time on my hands, I have decided to start on my list. Just for fun, I figured out how to make an animated GIF (which was surprisingly simple, I guess I am just a little slow!) Anyway, to change topics, my hair is the longest that it has ever been I think. So lets have a poll:

How long do you think it is by now?

I know the pictures are a little blurry, and the color isn't great. Ang took the camera so I used my video camera and created stills from the video of me spinning on a chair. Sure I could have just posted the video, but I already know how to do that!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JOVIN!!

Well today is Jovin's 1st birthday.


Jovin opened up his presents this evening. He didn't quite grasp the concept of "opening" presents. I would start to tear the wrapping paper for him but he would just sit and flick the torn wrapping paper.






He was wearing his Elmo party hat, but it started to bug him so he tore it off. Oh well. Actually after he (well I) opened all his presents he didn't go and play with the boxes or wrapping paper. He went for the Elmo party hat.




Well the cake was NOTHING like Lydia's birthday a week ago. He poked at the cake with his finger and we actually had to put little pieces in his mouth. He really wasn't a big fan.


It was a good birthday. I can't believe that it has been a year already. I have spent the past couple of days reminiscing about the past year with Jovin. How much it changes our lives. He is such a blessing to Cory and I. It's amazing to think of how much he has grown and all of the things he has learned to do.
I know I'm bias but he is the cutest baby EVER!!

Bad Boy, Bad Boy Wha'cha Gonna Do...

We've taught Jovin a new trick. When he does something bad he goes up to the wall and he will "spread 'em!" Neat huh?














Just kidding. But he just stood at the wall today like this for a while. He has actually mastered pulling himself up on the wall, couches, kitchen chairs, and bathtub.






Today, Jovin pulled himself up on the kitchen table chairs when they were tucked into the table. So he got stuck. He is just tall enough that his head doesn't reach the top of the table, but he is tall enough that he has to duck to get out from under the table. He hasn't quite figured that part out yet. Silly boy.






He is so proud of himself. He will just stand in the bathtub now while Cory bathes him. There is water for him to splash in and toys to play with, but for now all he wants to do is stand in the bathtub. It's weird.
