Easter Outfit


So, I actually just took this picture a few days ago, but things were crazy on Easter Sunday, and I never had a chance to take Nathan's picture in his Easter outfit. This is it! I think he looks so handsome, I just love my little guy!

Fizzix



I did not just hand him the Go-gurt...it was actually my fault it was on his head! Oops! Nathan is eating "Fizzix", which is basically fizzy yogurt. John did some research at BYU working on sparkling or carbonated yogurt. Looks like they got all the kinks worked out and Yoplait now has it on the market. Pretty cool!

Easter Candy



Nathan found my stash! He got into a Reese's while I was on the computer...he was really quiet while he was enjoying his treat too!

Swimming



Yes, we went swimming a little over a week ago. It was about 85 degrees outside, the water was a little chilly, but we got used to it. We went twice that week, but now it's a little cold again. I can't believe we went swimming in March!

Rebate Junkie

I am a sucker for rebates. Especially if it basically ends up to be free! Earlier this month, I bought some anti-virus software that had two rebates that would cover the entire cost. So I proceeded to send in the rebates and triple checked that I had everything that I needed in the envelopes. On Saturday, I got two little postcards saying that both of my rebates were incomplete because they were missing items...at which point they say that if you can send in the stuff that's missing they can then process your rebate. Hello!!! I checked a million times that I had the right info in the right envelope with whatever, and I no longer have part of that info because I sent it to them! So, I called them this morning and basically just had to talk to the guy. He said, "Hold on for one moment while I check on something.....Ok, I have it all worked out and your rebate will be processed and sent to you in 4-6 weeks." I said "Thanks, what about my other rebate?" He said, "Let me check on that one....hold on a moment....well, it is missing the originial UPC but since you are a valued customer, I'll go ahead and process this one for you too." WHAT??? 5 seconds ago you are telling me you don't have what you need and now you're just going to process it? It makes me think that they send out these dumb postcards just so they don't have to process people's rebates. I almost just got annoyed and didn't call about it, and thought, 'oh well, guess i actually had to pay $70.' I wonder how many people just throw the postcard away and say "fuhghetaboutit." Sneaky, sneaky...

San Francisco and a Wedding

We went up to the Bay Area over the weekend for Emily's wedding (John's cousin) and had fun seeing family and friends/old roommates...while we were there we took a little mini trip into San Francisco. We bought some sourdough bread and had some yummy ice cream at Ghiradelli Square. We also saw the sea lions on Pier 39. It was fun to see Emily, she looked amazing and so happy. Good luck to you Emily and Jason! Sadly, I don't have any pictures from the reception--that just shows you my horrible picture taking habits!

The LA Zoo


We went to the Zoo with the USC Dental school Spouses's Club. Lucky for me, we have been able to do lots of things with them that John would rather not do. Nathan really liked the Gorilla's, Zebra's and Giraffe's. Then we went to the little play area and he had a blast just running around and playing on the slides and everything.
