Hey Look Mims!

Emily recently gave me a very cute vase that she made in her pottery class last semester. Upon receiving this vase I had to promise that I would put flowers in it, which I had every intention to do as soon as there were flowers to be put anywhere. Well, today I saw a plethora of some very pretty flowers at a friends house. I just had to pick some and come straight home and put them in the cute vase that Emily made. I love that there are flowers in the house now and that I have a cute vase to put them in!

Thanks Mims!

Welcome Home Cami!

Last month Cami came home from serving 18 months in the Tampa Florida Mission. Since she just happened to be so close to Disney World we just had to go pick her up! It was a fun trip! It was a lot of fun to spend time with Nate's family. AND as an added bonus we (1) got out of Utah with excellent timing seeing as how we missed the last big snow storm o' the season, (2) got to go to Disney World, (3) went to the beach, (4) ate at Brusters, and (5) got to totally warm up for the first time in about 9 months! What more could you ask for!?! Here are a few of the many pictures from our trip.

The big kid that I married.

We went to a Biergarten at Epcot. It was pretty yummy and lots of fun. We sat biergarten style (with people you don't know), had some dang good German food, and watched an Umpa band with all sorts of mad skills.

We were probably the only adults in the place that didn't order alcohol, but we tried the kid version! Don't worry. It's just apple juice and Perrier.

If I look evil in this picture it's because I was SO tired and the sun was in my eyes, so keeping them open and not watering was nigh impossible. I did love the flower festival that was going on at Epcot. There were floating flowers, Disney characters made out of flowers, hanging flowers. Flowers everywhere! I love flowers!

Our last day whole day in Florida we got some key lime pie, of which I do not have a picture, but Mmmm! That's all I have to say. We also spent a couple hours at Clearwater Beach. I love the beach!

Do you have any landscaping ideas?

Since we moved in to our new home in August I have been anxiously awaiting the day when we could make our back yard pretty. The inside of the townhome is all cute (despite my lack of decorating so far) but the outside is in some serious need of veggies and flowers. I want to make it all cute, useful, and family friendly but am not quite sure what the best plan of attack is. We have some pretty good ideas so far, but I am still looking for landscaping ideas for small spaces. It is a townhome back yard, so it's really not very big, but there is enough space to do something with. Does anyone know of any websites or books or anything with good ideas for small spaces?

Big Huge Slacker!

I have been one big, huge, fatty slacker. Lots of exiting stuff has been going on, but I have done almost zero blogging for myself this year. I haven't exactly been feeling up to snuff, because. . . wait for it. . . we are going to have a BABY!!!!!! Our little one will be joining us around October 6th. We are really excited and getting more excited all the time. So, now that I'm feeling 1000% better, I plan to resume the blogging. There's lots to catch up on and lots coming up, so here's to an exciting summer ahead!

Hahahaha

Hello everyone! This is Emily, Annah's sister. I am down at Annahs for the weekend and just got on to her blogger account and thought it would be funny to post on her blog! Wahahahaha! I love having sisters to bother! I have a few photos I would like to share with you. Shall we begain?

Photo number one:

This is Annah summer of 2007. We call it "Fish Face." I got an A in one of my photo classes for it!

Photo two:

This is our family when we went to Annahs Graduation in Hawaii. We are eating shave ice and I thought everyone needed to know what she looked like with a blue tongue.

Photo three:

This is my or I guess our Daddy, Annah, and Nate before there family wedding dinner. There is noting really cool about this photo other then yall probubly havent seen it before.

Photo four:

This is when we were little tots. I am in my Grandmas lap with all our cousins around and Annah is standing away, out of the group. I don't know why she doesn't like us, but she doesn't.

Photo five:

This is Annah feeding our first pet named Goaty! We loved Goaty very much. She died in 2001 of Hardware Cancer. May her little goat soul rest in peace.

photo six:

Little Annah with a big tomato out of our garden!

Photo seven:

Annah as a cat for Halloween. I think we still have this coustoom up in our atich somewhere... maybe in the toy box.

Photo eight:

Little Bitty Annah in a wash tub with a strawberry swim suit! HOW CUTE!!

Last but not least...

Annah and me together!!!

We look almost the same other then I am a good bit taller then her and we both are a little less cute. But I do dare to say that we still fancy being with each other, and arnt that bad looking together either.

I finished this a week after I started it, but I think its worth it. Please forgive any misspellings you may find. I am not known for my spelling abilities, so just over look them to the heart of the message; Annah is kinda cute, kinda funny, and I guess we kinda lover her!

Until I hack on Annahs account again, yours truly,

Emily Louise Dixon

Catch Up

It's almost a month after my last pathetic attempt at a post, so I figured it was time for another one. I even plugged my camera in and uploaded all of the new pictures. So here they are!

A dress Emily and I tried on at our favorite way out of our budget store. Just 'cause you're not going to spend close to $400 on a dress doesn't mean you can't try it on!


Yes. That is Guy. This is the proof that we went to Pat's B-b-q.

This isn't a very good picture at all but this is the only picture I have of the new perm. To be honest, I haven't even been curling it lately to even take pictures of. Not that I don't like it, I just get ready really slow and would rather sleep in a little longer than do hair.

Maybe I'll do a better job with this blog thing. I'm staying up a little later these days (past 7) so there is hope! There should actually be a lot to report on this weekend. Today we got a head start on the weekend productiveness by moving the tv stand downstairs and rearranging the living room, because...

***Drum Roll Please***

Tomorrow we will get A NEW KITCHEN TABLE!!!!!!! I am pretty excited about that. Our old Ikea table will not go to waste. We are turning it in to a computer table where we can begin organizing all of the office type stuff. So, by Monday, we will be able to...

• Have more than 1 person over before we have to move the party to the couch (1 chair was broken and is not yet repaired),
• Sit at a table to do computer stuff,
• Get the modem off the floor, AND
  
• Watch tv from a comfy couch instead of having to sit on the floor!
  

Oh happy day! I also have big plans to do normal weekly cleaning stuff, cut Nate's hair, and start cleaning out the back yard, but we'll see how ambitious I really get.

An American Institution

I haven't been very good at blogging lately. I have lots of pictures to post, such as the (not so new) perm, the beginnings of our Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives adventures, and random other stuff. I just plain-o haven't felt like doing the whole picture upload process. Just sounds like way more work that I'm willing to do right now. But, tonight was a late night for Nate at work, and on late nights we always go grab something to eat. I had the brilliant idea of having breakfast, so decided to go to Denny's (Mmmm!). "It's an American Institution!" (Name that movie!) I love that cheap food can be so yummy!
