Visits and Visitors

It's been a busy week but we've enjoyed most of it (we are pretending the BYU game of last night didn't happen...sad...their first loss in Megan's lifetime).

Megan had fun last Saturday with all the space left when we moved the coffee table to watch the BYU game.


Sunday we got to Skype with Dan's parents and his sister Heather. We are so glad Dan's parents got a webcam so Megan can see them more often than every few months!

We got to visit with a family from the ward for FHE on Monday, Megan did great and slept the entire time. She had her first tastes of spaghetti for dinner Monday and she LOVED it. She ate about as much as I did.

Yay! spaghetti face


We noticed a yucky visitor last Sunday in the form of a roach...gross.

So we called the exterminator and he came on Tuesday. But his spraying led to the sighting of one more little friend. And this one was still alive. I hate (HATE!) roaches. I was tempted to go hide in my bedroom for the afternoon with Megan and leave it to Dan to kill, but I overcame my fear and grabbed Megan (I couldn't leave her on the floor where the roach could possibly get her) and squished it with one of Dan's shoes. Then we flushed it. Sweet success.

Let's see. Oh! We visited the Children's Museum on Wednesday for playgroup--they have this "tot spot" filled with toys and balls and mirrors and play areas. Megan loved it. I'm ready to buy a membership. It's only about 6 minutes away from our apt and we could definitely go more often.

Megan loved those cylinders--she would stand behind them and push them all around the room.


We went over to another ward member's house on Wednesday for dinner and games. Megan did not fall asleep there like we hoped she would, but she was happy for the most part so we had still had a good time.

We had a playdate with Kat and Kaden on Thursday. We went to Chick-Fil-A and I remembered why I loved going there in high school. Yummy. And it's very clean. I think it's my favorite fast food place.

Thursday night we witnessed the unraveling of our Cougs...hopefully they will regroup and be back to their usual winning selves by next week. We did have fun watching at my parent's house despite the outcome. Megan got to open a birthday present early. It's a scoot toy and a walk-behind toy all in one. She loves it. My mom has the picture so I'll post them later.

Today Megan and I met Dan for lunch. We got to check out the Tunnels--the underground part of downtown Houston. We had lunch down there and then got to see Dan's building and office.




He will be moving to a new office in a few weeks and will miss working downtown but is excited for a new experience.

Welp. Big gulps, huh? See you later!

isnt it funny, our fears.......if you hadnt had a child yet, would you have put a glass over and it and left it until dan got home or something else, in the same way? but now that we have children we have to kill all those yucky bugs ourselves. My older boys dont even know I hate spiders. I had to kill them, I was single!

I love your blog Amber. I am always amazed to see a bow in your daughters hair. I could never get mine to stay in. Lots of love.

Could have done without the Roach picture!! Yuck! I can't believe how much Megan has grown! We miss you in the unit!!

Why didn't you just spray the roach with a whole can of roach killing spray? It's way more effective than using a shoe :)

I would have used a bottle of spray but...1- I didn't have any and 2- I didn't want to create a roach spray oil slick on the carpet.
By the way, that is not an actual picture of the roach--I'm not so crazy that I would stop to take a picture of it instead of flushing it as soon as possible!
It IS the same kind of roach I saw though. yuck, yuck, yuck
