Jase got a Haircut!

So normally I hack at poor Jase's hair with scissors and the end result ranges from "yikes" to "decent." I decided to go into town today just because I was bored and I got this idea to take him to a place called "Cookie Cutters" and finally get a professional to cut his hair. Last time he got his hair cut by our friend Kami, he was at least 1 year old and he had a major melt down. It was horrid. So I had NO CLUE how he'd do today. I let him watch a video online (before we left) of 2 other toddlers getting their haircut at this place to try to get him hyped about it. I think that actually helped a little. The entire place is catered to kids so I thought this could be a great thing. First of all, he got to pick out his own DVD to watch (there is a flat screen TV directly in front of the "car chair" he's sitting in) and then choose a cool car to sit in. He was way into that! The car even had foot pedals in it. Here's a picture of him testing out his ride with his "before" hair:The stylist asked me what I wanted done. I told her I basically wanted it shaped up and shorter, but not too short. I had a mental picture in mind which wasn't exactly how it turned out...but you'll see soon enough. She asked if I wanted clippers or scissors--but I don't know! I don't know anything about boy haircuts (note to self: must learn soon). So she grabbed a pair of clippers and called them "tickle machines" and let Jase touch it, etc (cute). He did SO GOOD while she started buzzing up the back of his head. The attachment she used looked big to me, so I was not prepared for the shock of how short the back really was getting cut until I saw it. OH MY!
Once I saw how short she cut the back, I knew it was going to be a hundred times shorter than I wanted bc now she was going to have to make the top match the back. Panic panic panic! And Reuben is going to kill me! Besides my panicking, Jase was doing really well. He wasn't so sure about the cape at first until we showed him how he could get his arms free and I also told him it was like a bib. That worked.
This face is the result of him looking at himself in the mirror. Fascinating. Truly. Hee hee. (I blurred out the stylists face for her own anonimity. She was a cute girl, though.)
Getting closer to cutting the top! Jase was still being so good for her. He was watching "Lord of the Beans" by Veggie Tales.
Around this point she asked me how much I wanted off the top. I showed her but somehow what I showed her and what she did were two completely different things. Mmm hmm.
I asked Jase to smile for me. This is his cutie patootie forced smile. Ha ha ha, I love it!
Back to watching Veggie Tales again...gosh this boy is cute. The only part of the haircut that he didn't like was when she switched to some tiny clippers and tried to trim his hairline by his ears. I had to help out by kind of holding his hands, etc, bc he was shrugging his shoulders sooo much and she couldn't cut the hair. He whined a little bit but he got through it just fine. He also complained when he got hair on his face or in his ears--at one point he said, "I'm dirty! I'm dirty!" That made us both laugh. :)
He's all done! Not sure why she kind of slicked his hair to the side, but whatever. It actually photgraphed strangely for some reason bc it looked much cuter in person. I was still in shock over how short it was and how grown up he looked, though.
Then after he was done, he got to pick out any color balloon he'd like AND choose a sucker. Awesome! (once again hair photgraphed very strangely??)When I got back into the car I started crying. I was so upset that it was so short AND it just kind of hit me how "grown up" he now looked. Plus I'm pregnant and get extra crying rights--and I also realized a new baby is about to take over the "baby" slot and Jase will be put into the "big boy" slot. It's so emotional! What do ya do? Anyways, I took these pictures once we got home and after I spiked it up a bit. MUCH MUCH better. It is starting to grow on me! I can't wait to try a little mohawk!
I guess you could say here is the "after" picture!

Finally did the Dog Cleaning Rituals

So I sucked it up today and during my precious "me" time (Jase's nap time) when I usually do something fun or work, I started bathing the dogs. I swear at this point they are about as poofy furry as the dog pictured above. I kept them in their kennel (they are in the same big one) all day yesterday (unless they were outside) due to Pippie's gross behind. EEW! Well I had to scrub him up pretty good (yes, I wore gloves bc I was sicked out) and then I figured I better wash his "roommate" Goosie while I was at it. By the time that was done my knees were killing me, my back hurt, and I was soaking wet. Awesome. Well at least they both got bathed to a shiny frizz (I was too lazy to put conditioner on them). Next I simple green'd their kennel and washed all their bedding on the super hot setting on my washer. Ahhh, clean. Next I grabbed the scissors and attempted to trim up all the areas of fur that tend to get the dirtiest--face, feet, bum, and pee pee areas. FUN, not. Oh did I mention that by this time Jase had woken up, so he's trying to grab the doggie scissors and run...or grab the dog's comb, or do a number of other annoying things like step in the cut fur. Ah, yes, and throwing magnets all over the kitchen to scare the heck out of the dogs while a pair of sharp scissors are way too close to their privates (heh heh).

Well it's funny now, but it wasn't then! The dogs would jump and freak out and I would get covered in millions of bits of dog hair. Ugh! It was in my nose, all over my socks, on my pants...sick! Plus I was sitting on the floor hunched over so both of my feet fell asleep. Not to mention my big pregnant belly was in the way. I swear if someone would have dropped by and asked to take my dogs, I would have said YES. Seriously. After that, somehow Jase got the back door open and let the dogs outside while they were still damp and it's all snowy outside. GAH! I didn't even know until I saw Pip at the front door wanting to come in. Luckily the dogs were OK and only their feet were a teeny bit dirty. This is why it is worth $34 a piece to get them groomed and bathed by professionals. The only reason I haven't done this is bc it is too cold to shave them just yet. But it WILL be done before baby #2 arrives. Oh yes it will. How I long for the day.

Big Boy Bed: the nap...and Church

The Roobenator was in charge during Jase's nap today. He said he stayed put and went right to sleep! Weeeeeee! I went in and got him about an hour and half later before he woke up on his own. He was so funny! I said, "Do you want to go to church?" and he was freaking out excited about it (I wonder how long this will last?). He JUMPED out of bed, slid down the stairs and straightaway grabbed his shoes for me to put on. Too cute.

When we got there, he was the "star" of sacrament meeting. After each song was sung, he'd clap really loud and say "Yay!" (He even did this after a young woman played a musical number on the piano). Then after the prayers he would say "AMEN" really loudly and do it after everyone else had already said it. At one point, the teenager in the bench in front of us had been entertaining Jase and making him giggle. This was towards the end of the meeting and then someone gave the closing prayer. So Jase saw the teenager bow his head and close his eyes. Then he turned to me and said, "Mommy, he's sleeping! Wake him up! Wake him up!" Bwhahahaha! I was cracking up. While they were passing around the bread and water, Jase would say "The bread is coming! The bread is coming! Put it in my mouth!" and also "The water is coming!" OH and I forgot one more thing. The girls sitting in the bench behind us had fairly loud (and slightly annoying) singing voices. We probably sang a total of 3 hymns during the service. Each time we sang, Jase would spin around so fast and stare at them, all the while saying "They're singing! They're singing!" That was a little embarrassing, just because I don't know them very well. Heh heh.

Update on the Big Boy Bed

Well I'm here to tell you how it went last night. We put him in his bed about 8pm, turned off the lights and walked out of the room. Success! He went right to sleep. About midnight as Roob and I were settling into our own bed across the hall, I heard a big "Thud." Oh no! He fell out of the bed! Poor thing! So Roob goes in to check on him. Jase had already climbed back into the bed by himself--when Roob opened the door Jase said, "Are you okay?" Hee hee (he says this bc that is what I say when he falls down). So Roob tucks him in and walks out. No other incidents during the night. About 8:30 this morning, I figured I should go get him out of the bed before he got into any trouble. Right when I was about to open the door, I heard him making soft talking sounds. I'm not sure if he had been awake for a while or just a few minutes (guessing the latter), but I opened up the door and gave him plenty of hugs and kisses for being such a good boy! Hurray! Anyways, in about 30 minutes from now, we are going to find out how the "nap time" will go. Hmm. I'll update later!

Poo Poo Doggie

I'm not sure how much longer I can care for 3 dogs. And a toddler. Oh yeah, and in 2.5 months a newborn. Seriously. The dogs are testing my patience. This morning I heard Pippie freaking out whimpering (the kind that means "let me outside asap"). So I ran downstairs and let him out. An hour later, Reuben and Jase woke up. After breakfast, Pip wanted to go outside again (this is not normal for him). So I let him out. This time I noticed when he came back in that his backside was covered in...well...the 'rhea 'rhea. EEW!!!! So after using about a billion baby wipes, I cleaned it up. Doesn't help that he is SUPER POOFY FURRY bc it has been so cold this winter that I let him keep his fur long so he won't freeze to death. Anyways, later on this evening he had the SAME problem again! ARGH!!! I am so sicked out, seriously. He must have gotten access to something he shouldn't have eaten. I hope by tomorrow this is all a bad memory. Or I might be putting an ad in the paper...:)

The Big Boy Bed

This is how Jase "smiles" for the camera. It's hilarious!I will be the first to admit that I was not really ready to do this. He's growing up too fast! I heard some bangin' and clangin' up in Jase's room this afternoon and went up to find that Reuben had taken off one side of the crib and made it into a day bed for Jase. Hmm. So I guess we're going to try it out :) I think he will be pretty good about staying in it to go to bed at night but the cruddy thing will be in the morning. Normally he'll lay there and play contently for at least 30 min+ until I come to get him. Now I think he will be coming to get ME out of MY bed in the morning. NOT COOL. In fact, I am dreading this. I am also dreading what will happen for naps...man!

So we took a quick trip into town to BabiesR'Us to see what kinds of guard rails they had so we could put one up to keep Jase from falling out of the crib. Apparently all the "cheaper" models are only made for twin beds and cost around $30 (what I was expecting). What I wasn't expecting was that the rail made to attach to cribs that convert into daybeds was $74.99!!! WHAT!??!! For $75 I will let Jase fall out of the bed! Call me crazy! So we didn't buy anything. Ha ha ha. We put him to bed about 30 minutes ago and so far I am pretty sure he went right to sleep (awesome). Now the real test will be what happens in the morning. We hid a video monitor in his room so we can watch and see what he does. OH, and about falling out of the bed...we put a big soft blanket down on the floor just in case he does (mom, don't panic). But the bed isn't really that high so I think if he does fall out he'll be okay. We're going to see how he does and then come up with some other solutions if necessary. In the meantime, enjoy this cute video of him I took while we were setting it up this afternoon:

The Food/Recipe Blog is READY!

I finally got things going on my food blog! I've only posted a few recipes so far (takes forever and I don't have pictures for them all yet), but that's ok--at least I started it! So over the next little while I'll be adding old recipes and posting about what I cook for dinner each night, etc. Hope you like it. Click HERE to check it out!!! I'll also put a permanent link on the right-hand side of this blog under "Cool Websites."

Food Blog, part II

Said upcoming food blog is consuming my life. I have a love/hate relationship with it already and I haven't even posted any recipes on it! ARGH! It's all about creating something cute but not too fancy for my header and background. I am learning more about "html" than I ever wanted to know. I'm also realizing that even though "blogger" is free, it is very limiting as far as organizing stuff like you would on a real website. I am about ready to pay someone to create a website for me at this point!!! I just want to get it done already! And I can't even nail down a good name for it, either. Serenity now!

Food Blog

I think the time has come for me to join the rest of the food blogging world and do my own, separate blog for recipes and other food related posts, etc. I've been tossing some ideas around with my mom, and soon I'll be ready to begin! It will be nice for me to start compiling all my recipes into ONE place (right now they are all OVER the place). It's hard to find them, so I keep forgetting to make some of my favorite things bc I forget they even existed in the first place! Eek! So stay tuned...once I get the format set up and the ideas finalized, I'll provide the link on this blog so you can check it out if you'd like!

Breathe Right...or Better?

Hello. I'd like to be paid for my upcoming endorsement of this product. Thank you. ;)

I have been having trouble sleeping well lately. I wake up about 10 times a night for a brief moment, look at the clock, growl, flip over, and go back to sleep. Actually, usually I have this problem. But it seems to be worse these days. My husband thinks I have sleep apnea (when you stop breathing for at least 10 seconds then "snort" yourself awake. Lovely, right?). Since I tend to panic over disorders, problems, sicknesses, etc., I started doing some research on it (thank you, Google). I decided to try the least invasive "treatment" option first: Breathe Right strips. They pull the skin away from the sides of your nose just enough to allow better air-flow. When my dad was here visiting in November, he told me he's used them and loves them. So this could be good! My best guess at self-diagnosis is that I am a "mouth breather." It takes quite a lot of energy for me to breathe through my nose, especially while sleeping. It's always been super annoying. Seems like I always have some sort of congestion or something--whether it's the super dry air here lately (nose hurts so bad or bleeds a bit), my allergies (not looking forward to spring), or pregnancy making your sinuses more "inflamed" or whatever they say.

So yesterday I finally remembered to buy the strips! They make clear ones in a package of 12 for $5 at Wallymart. They were about $2 more at other stores. Anyways--I ripped open the package and applied one before bed last night. Oh wait, I forgot to say that while checking out at the supermarket the cashier said she tried these and they didn't help at all (way to rain on my parade, lady)! Regardless, I put that thing on my nose. Immediately I could breathe through my nose like I was born to do it! I ran upstairs and jumped on the bed to show Reuben my new, cool sticker on my face! He just burst out laughing! I can't blame him, it was pretty funny! I laid down on my pillow and just enjoyed the fact that I could breathe with my mouth closed! Ahhhhh. This was going to be great. Just great. AND it is really comfy. Once I put it on, I couldn't even feel it anymore. I'm a side sleeper, too, and it didn't poke my nose or anything while I was laying on the pillow. Score!

So what's my verdict? I think I woke up maybe only 3 times last night. That is still a huge improvement over the night before! I asked Reuben if he heard me snoring or anything and he said "nope." Woo hoo! Now the only problem is if I use these for the rest of my life it could be a significant investment. I think you can buy a box of 30 for $10. So that would be about $120/year for the rest of my life to breathe. Ok yeah, I can live with that. :) I just hope it doesn't permanently stretch out my skin and make my nose wider! :P

Checking in on Growing Baby

Had another doctor's appointment today. I have to say ever since I switched doctors, I have been fully pleased. Unlike my last doctor, my current one is SUPER efficient and speedy--and almost always ON TIME for appointments! Y'all have NO IDEA how much I appreciate this. When I was pregnant with Jase I'd wait AT LEAST 1 hour, but usually 2-3 hours for every appointment. GAH! She was a very nice midwife, but I had to change it up. Now I see an M.D. who is very friendly and just plain fast. Did I mention she's fast? :)

Because of the crazy flu season, the clinic I go to does not allow ANY children to accompany you to visits. Although I can appreciate this, it makes it a bit challenging for me since I have Jase and it is very hard to get someone to watch him during the day. So usually Reuben has to meet me at the clinic and sit it the car with Jase while I'm inside. (yay for helpful hubbies!)

Today was my scheduled glucose test (to see if you have gestational diabetes). I am always a bit paranoid about this test! I had to eat a 50c sized hershey bar and drink 8oz of apple juice for breakfast! (now I can appreciate chocolate, but chocolate + juice is a yucky combo). Anyways, Reuben forgot he had a mandatory meeting he had to be to, so he only had like 30 min tops to wait for me at the clinic. I showed up a tad early and they really did cartwheels to accomodate me (which was very nice). My doctor had just arrived at the office after doing 3 c-sections (wow), and they put me ahead of another appointment to get me in as fast as they could.

I had my finger pricked (ouch--but i passed the test!) and also got my Rogam shot (the shot you need when your blood type is RH- like mine) very quickly. Then I had the fastest ultrasound ever (haha) since I told her I had to leave in like 2 minutes. She measured the baby and said he's at least 2 pounds now and his heartbeat was nice and strong. *sigh of relief* Always so good to hear. I still feel like this is all a dream and I can't believe in less than 3 months I will be a mother of 2. Still hasn't hit me yet!

Chicken & Dumplings

Here's another recipe from OurBestBites.com. I have always liked Chicken & Dumplings, but I don't have a recipe in my file. This one was good enough and easy enough that I'll keep it around. You can find the original recipe posting HERE.

6 cups chicken broth (1 1/2 boxes or 3 cans) OR 6 c. water + 6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 lb. cooked chicken, chopped (i used leftover frozen shredded ckn I made in a crockpot)
1 c. sliced carrots
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 onion, minced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 bay leaf
1 handful of chopped fresh parsley (or 1 Tbsp. dried parsley)
1/2 tsp. basil
1 14-oz. can evaporated milk
1 recipe of Bisquik dumplings (recipe is on the box)

In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat and add onions and garlic. Saute for a few minutes and then add chicken broth, chicken, bay leaf, and basil. Bring to a boil. Add carrots and celery and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until carrots and celery are tender (took about 9 min for me). When carrots and celery are almost done, add chopped parsley. Add evaporated milk. Increase heat to boiling and add noodles or add prepared Bisquik by small spoonfuls (they'll really puff up while they're cooking). Cook until dumplings are cooked through (they should appear moist but feel firm; this is after about 10 minutes). Serve immediately. Serves at least 6-8 adults. *note: if you don't plan on eating it all at once, don't add all the dumpling mix bc it will absorb all the liquid in the soup as it sits. *

Ham-n-Cheese Roll Ups

I've been trying a few new recipes lately. Been getting them mostly from "OurBestBites.com." They called this one "hot pockets," but to me it was more like "roll ups," so for my purposes I renamed the recipe. Heh heh. You can find the original recipe HERE. I have to say the only reason I thought I'd try this was because I had a bunch of leftover ham I wanted to use up, and a good friend (Sarah!) told me she liked them, too. I was expecting them to be just "okay," so I was blown away when I tried them. I thought they were AWESOME! I can't wait to make them again! It was truly a nice surprise. Hope you like them, too! (I'm still wondering if it was just the honeybaked ham that made them killer good, or just the combo of ingredients I used...)

1 recipe breadstick & pizza dough (click HERE to see their recipe. i tried this, too, and it was REALLY good)
Ham (i used leftover Honeybaked ham and chopped it into bite-sized pieces)
Cheese (i used a combo of medium cheddar, some american, and monterrey jack)
Green onion, diced (i added this bc i thought it would be good. it was.)

Prepare dough through the first rise. After dough has risen the first time, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle, probably about 16x 8 inches. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into 8 equal "rectangular" portions. Leaving a little bit of a "margin" on the right and left sides, add toppings with the cheese going on last. (add green onions if ya want). Stretch the dough out a little to give yourself a bit more dough to work with.
Fold the left side over the middle and then the right side over that. Starting at the bottom of the "mummy," tightly roll the filled dough, stretching it very gently as you go to make sure you're getting a tight seal. Place on a greased cookie sheet and repeat with remaining dough. When finished, cover the pan with a clean cloth and preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

When oven has heated, bake pockets for about 15 minutes or until golden brown on top. For shine, you could brush the tops with a bit of egg white mixed with water during the last 5 minutes of baking, or you could rub a little butter on top of the rolls while they're still hot. (I just used a bit of butter). We dipped ours in ranch, but I bet honey mustard would be yummy, too.

Cardboard House Questions...

We bought the cardboard house at Costco. I'm not sure if they still have them or not (probably not), but here's a website I found printed on the side of the box: www.colormehouse.com. Apparently they have the house we got, a rocket, and a castle. Here's a couple more views of the house...and the windows open up, as do some little window vents in the roof, etc. It's really neat. I'm pretty sure the price was less than $15. (I just peeked at the website and you can click on where you live and it will show you where you can find a place that sells them. Cool!)

Christmas 2009, part II

Santa brought Jase the coolest cardboard house. It's awesome! It has a pitched roof, windows, stars, mailbox, doorbell, etc. Roob and I started coloring on it. Roob drew on shingles and window frames, and I did the mailbox and put his name on it. It was darling. He played in it forever on Christmas morning. And it was a very price efficient gift. My favorite was the warning on the box that said "keep away from fires and open flames." Check. Ha ha.Jase playing in his coolio cardboard house!
One of Roob's most favorite things to eat are the LDS cannery's potato pearls (dried buttery potato bits). You just add water (they are pretty dang good). Anyways, my mom gave Roob a big box of them for Christmas. We all cracked up. Just look how proud he is of them...
Grandma Jenith and Jase warmin' up by the fire.
Jase and Hibbin playing with their toys. They were in toy heaven. And very overstimulated, I might add!

Christmas 2009 at Grandma's House

Santa did not disappoint this year! First we had Christmas at our house with Jase (pics to come), then we drove to my mom's for Christmas with my brothers & my nephew. We had so much fun opening presents! Jase and Hibbin were hilarious. They had so much to open that they finally just got sick of opening gifts. LOL. Then Gma Jenith spoiled us with a delicious Honeybaked Spiral Ham! OOH AHH. I am still drooling thinking about it. Anyways, here's a pic of my brothers--Michael is on the left, and Nathan on the right. I'm the oldest bc I am the coolest, then Mike, then Nate.Here's Michael, Hibbin (Nathan's son), and Nathan just hanging out on the sofa.
Jase and me, Nathan and Hibbin. Hibb is only 4 weeks older than Jase, and he's my very first nephew on our side of the family!
There's the lovely Grandma Jenith with her only daughter!
Gma Jenith, Michael, and Nathan hammin' it up for the camera. Cute pic!

Children Come in Handy!

I got this awesome hand-held Shark vacuum from Santa this year. I'm already finding plenty of ways to use it!!!

3D Ultrasound Pics: It's a _____???

We finally had our 3D ultrasound appointment! I was soooo nervous to find out what we were having. For those of you who are ultrasound challenged like I am, I drew on the pictures to point out exactly what you're looking at. It helps me, too, bc I swear if I stare at these long enough I can't make out a darned thing. Ok let's get started...here's the baby's sweet little face...Here's another one. The baby was curled up into a neat little ball the entire time (shocking, I know).
And finally...it's a BOY!!! (sorry about this picture, little son. it's quite graphic! lol) So there was NO mistaking it this time (as you can see for yourself). Hee hee.
I have to say my initial reaction was "that's what I thought." I was so convinced it was a girl until my previous doctor's appointment. Ever since then I have been thinking that it was probably a boy. I think this is God's way of saying, "Amiee, you are going to have 3 children even though you thought you'd only have two." Heh heh. I know it's a bit too early to be thinking about that, but it's just a feeling I've got. Anyways, we initially wanted a girl (I'd like to have at least one boy and one girl) but now we're excited about another boy! I think it will be GREAT for Jase to have a brother close in age, too. Plus the boys will have to share a room (which is already boyish-bonus!) and we pretty much already have everything we need from Jase (poor kid will get a lot of hand-me-downs). :) Well, I guess anything that hasn't been worn out or spit up on a hundred times. Ha ha ha.

Now I've just been collecting a bunch of possible boy names and keeping a list on my computer. There are lots of good ones to choose from. I want something that sounds good with our last name, but also something that sounds good with Jase (bc you know you will always be saying your kids' names together). So here's a few on the list: Rowan, Cody, Cole, Jack, Jesse, Liam, Drew, Lane, Ian (I really like Rhees, but Reuben has completely vetoed it. Lame.)

24 weeks Pregnant with Baby #2

So I've made it to 24 weeks! Hooray! I had my 3D ultrasound last Monday, and everything looks good with baby! I am planning on scanning in those 3D pics as soon as I can get on the scanner and do it. LOL. Speaking of that--stay tuned to find out what we're having!!! (post coming soon)Here's another close-up pic of the growing tummy!
Here's just a random but cute picture of Jase standing by our Christmas tree this year.

Good Thing My MIL doesn't Check this Blog

Last Saturday we had a Christmas party for my husband's side of the family. It was so much fun! I always forget how gigantic his family is (and lots of people were still missing)! Anyways, we had a great white elephant gift exchange. One of those items was one of Grandma Connie's wigs. Hee hee. We couldn't get enough of it. Here's a pic of Lecia & Kurt (Kurt's sporting the wig). Too funny!
Of course I had to try it on, too. I think I am rockin' it like Joe Dirt--mullet style!
Couldn't let the moment pass me by to get Jase to wear it. Well at least now I know what Jase would've looked like if he were a girl! Heh heh. Anyways, he HATED wearing it, so I barely snapped a few pics before he freaked out and took it off. I was laughing so hard! It was so totally worth it.
Roob had this great idea to see how many of us we could fit into the small kitchen! I thought this picture was great. We were all cracking up! You can see me in the back over to the left...
Alrighty, so back to the white elephant gifts. A couple of weeks ago Grandma Connie & Granpa Larry rode with us to Gordon's baptism. On the way back G.Connie took a snooze...Roob said "take a pic" so I snuck one. Later on the genius idea came to turn the picture into a shirt for the white elephant gift exchange. Classic. I photoshopped it and Roob ironed it onto the shirt. Connie was SUCH a good sport about it. We were all DYING laughing over it. I think the shirt got stolen/traded about 7 times! And I believe Lecia ended up taking it home! Here it is:
I had my video camera ready to capture the moment as soon as somebody picked our present. Julie picked it first! But as my luck would have it, after only a few seconds of video, I ran out of memory card space! GAH! (knew I should have deleted some files off of it) Oh well, at least I got some footage of it! HEE HEE
