Fantabulous February

February started off with a totally bodacious 80's surprise party.

Kiana and Scott, Nate and Amy, Nate and Me
On President's Day we hiked up Camelback Mountain. I had a great time, since I only had to carry myself. Micah enjoyed drinking water. Nate was just happy to not be at work or sitting at our house. I guess that means that a fun time was had by all.




Spirit Week at school was a fun week for me. I really wanted to enjoy my last spirit week as a teacher ever. I enjoy dressing up. This week was 80's week, which was great since I had one outfit already, from earlier this month. I borrowed Kiana's dress for 80's Prom and made leg warmers for workout day. Friday was color day. Fresh-green, Soph-yellow, Jr- Orange, Sr-Pink. The more obnoxious your outfit the better. I teach mostly sophomores so I pulled out my retro William Penn track suit. I wore an old jersey for my juniors and a pink lai for my lone senior. I even participated in the teacher's dance and had so much fun. I really love performing, too bad I have no rhythm or talent.
Megan and I
My first Suns game was the best game I could have ever gone to. To start things off, we got FREE tickets. Nate loves to scalp tickets. He likes to haggle and get the best deal. I like to pay full price , know I have a seat and get into the stadium/arena and relax. This is an on going debate between us (he won this round). Nate and I watched the jazz come back in the 4th quarter to win by 8. (Thanks Jen for watching Micah)


Micah I getting more fun every day. He likes to feed himself, which means that I dress/undress him several times a day. He is babbling non-stop. He loves to play with balls and drawers.

He is walking now, well kind of, which I guess just starts a whole new chapter for us. We are in the middle of doing a food diary for Micah. He last some weight and the doctors want to know if it because of insufficient caloric intake, or mal absorption. I cant express enough how annoying it is to write down everything a one year old eats. I realize now that Micah eats 2 bananas a day (minimum), lots of Goldfish crackers, tonz of yogurt, BEANS-BEANS-BEANS and more BEANS, and so many noodles. Hope I don't get scolded by his doc for his lack of variety, vegetables, and meat.

Micah! That's awesome! Come teach my boys how to walk!

Your last spirit week as a teacher ever...my last spirit week as a teacher, ever (ha!), I tried, successfully to wear pajamas each and every day. Best week ever.

Love your quilts from the last post, too! I love how your quilts are all so different and so colorful.

Oh, and I can't believe you hiked Camelback with Micah! Very impressive. We hiked it a couple summers back and it was all I could do to get MYSELF up and down the mountain! But I did enjoy how I kept getting passed by a pregnant lady wearing Chacos, once up and once down.

I actually wrote a letter/thank you card to you and have it sealed in an envelope, but haven't been able to get a hold of anyone to get your address! So there are also some pics i am sending you as soon as i can.
