Quiet book for Isaac

So as I was getting ready for our big trip down here to Grenada, I wanted to get something new for Isaac to play with that would hold his attention on the plane (although Isaac slept a lot so I didn't even get it out until today). I ran into a quiet book idea on pinterest and I liked it. I tweaked it a little bit and this is what I came up with!  I didn't have time to sew the owl or turtle page but I got them all cut out and placed on the page so my mom can hopefully sew them and get it to us when she comes in December.

First day at the park

Flat head

So our boy is almost 7 months old! Crazy.  He is pretty darn cute and we love him a lot.  I'm getting a little worried about his flat hard but hopefully it will round out

Pigeon Hunter Strikes Again

Adventures of a pigeon huntress

Pigeons: 3    Micah: 1   Becky:1

Micah woke me up the other day because he HAD to show me something.  I went out and he pointed outside to my bike.  In the spokes of the back wheel was a dead, twisted pigeon.  I have no idea how it got there, but let's just contribute that kill to me, because it was my bike. Score!

We're Alive!

Hey there. I'm back to the blogging world.  Here's some of the highlights of the past few weeks:

~Horseback riding and camping!  SO fun...until my horse ran me through some very solid branches.  Shorty and I bonded though and I apologized for calling him stupid. We roamed all around the desert mountains, saw indian drawings and handprints, old houses that people used a hundred years ago, and even part of a piano just chilling in the desert.  I would love to do this again sometime.

~I milked a goat! I'm pretty much a farmer now.  Our friends (the ones with the horses) parent's have a bunch of goats and cows and horses and such and before we went on our trip we got to help feed and milk and herd the goats.  There were a bunch of baby goats and they were SO cute!
~Micah's been studying like crazy for the MCAT this Saturday.  On a practice test he took awhile ago he got a better score than he did on the last test he took! He's so smart. I'm sure he's going to do great.

~We went to Costco on Saturday--I love Costco. Micah let me buy a huge bag of ravioli and I let him buy a huge bag of pancake mix. We're good at compromising.

~Micah just found out that I don't like to talk on the phone. Apparently after a few minutes talking (to anybody) I say "Okay, well I'm going to go."  Don't get offended if I do this to you. I just dont like talking on the phone.  I don't really know why, but oh well.  Micah, the chatterbox, thinks I'm weird.

~I'm not sure what else to say.....maybe I'll post some pictures soon! 

~Oh yeah! Samuel and Stephanie are coming to visit next week!  It'll be good to see them.  It's been 9 months since we left Utah-wow!

~Okay, well I'm going to go now. Bye.

Europe or bust!!!!

In our Institute building there is this huge old-looking map of the world.  Micah and I always stop to admire it and talk about where we would go if we had the money.  The last time we were talking about it we thought about backpacking around Europe.  At the time it was just talk--something exciting to talk about that probably would never happen for a long, long time. 

Well, today I decided.  We're going. Next summer right before medical school. Micah doesn't know yet, but I KNOW he will be all for it.  He probably thinks that I would never actually do it, but I'm going to prove him wrong. I might be a little crazy, but I want to go. I want to do something amazing that we can talk about for the rest of our lives.  I want to be like Loreli and Rory (if you know what I am referencing, you are outstanding). 

Now, I need your help.  There are birthdays coming; Christmas is coming.  Hello people! Perfect opportunity to help us toward our goal instead of buying us another gift!

EUROPE OR BUST!

On a completely different note, why do people always backpack in Europe? Why do you never hear of people backpacking across Asia or Africa or Antartica?!?
