catchup time!

So I have some major catching up to do. I am just going to dump all these pictures here and be done with it!

This is the view I get on my way home from work in the morning. The picture doesn't do it justice, but I love looking in my mirror and seeing the bay and the fog.

This was months ago (actually when I first found out I was pregnant).  We love going to the Maxfields to play games. I think there was some girl talk goin' on inside so the boys headed out to play their Frisbee game.

I think they said they try to throw it to each other and then catch it without moving their feet. It's actually kind of funny to watch.

I can't wait until we someday have our own yard!

 We played this super fun game called Mexican Train Game. It's a domino's game and is soooo much fun!
 And this is Rischel just sittin' pretty.

 Very intense....

Ok, next is a sign in the elevator in the hospital where my mom had her hip surgery in L.A. I just love how it says "Should the elevator doors fail to open or the elevator become inoperative: please do not become alarmed. PLEASE USE THE BUTTON MARKED "ALARM"..... I don't know why I thought this was soooo funny.
 We had a bunch of Giant's game fun with the Couches this year. We always happened to go on the sunniest, hottest days ever. And seeing how theses days are rare here in San Francisco end up going home crispy and exhausted.

 This one truly was FOREVER ago, but I was meaning to post it because I thought it was such a funny sight.
Our friend Jason had invisalign put on by his dad and has to change the retainer thing every so often. The way these things work is you put some hard stuff on the tooth in a certain spot (Jon don't hate me for my lack of dental terms) that matches up with a part in the retainer thingy. I don't know if that makes any sense, but then that somehow moves the teeth a certain way.
 Since Jason's dad lives in Sacramento he decided to do it himself, or have Jon help him. I thought the whole setup was ghetto. If you look at the previous picture Jason is wearing a napkin held on with hair clips.
 And then at one point the hard things they put on the teeth need to be dried so.....Jason brought his son's little fishy toy that squirts air as the dryer! I was laughing the whole time.
 This is a sweater I knitted and little Ben modeled it for me and Kristine...somehow he always ends up as my model for my projects.
 This is what Jon does on road trips to entertain himself.
 One day I came home to this......a whole bunch of guys in my livingroom playing mario cart. I think it was during their lunch break. They were soooo into....I don't know if you can tell.
 This is one of the cutest little girls in the world. My dad and Sister and niece came to visit a long while back. Zoe is actually wearing the first coat (outterwear) I ever made. She loved rided on "Crampa's" shoulders.



 This was a text I recieved after I had given Jon some crap about parking crooked......turns out I'm a hippocrate.
 This was one of the funniest things I have ever seen driving home from work. I don't know if you can see very well, but they are towing a scooter!
 This is Lucy who was modeling a sweater that I knit for Anisha's cute little baby Max. He won't be able to wear it for a while, but it took me soo long that I wanted him to be able to wear it more than a couple of weeks before he grew out of it.



 This was the goodbye part at the end of last year all the dental students left after completing their fourth year.
 Taisja,Anisha,me, Rischel, Kristy

 They Might Be Giants came to play a show for FREE in a park near our place. We rode our bikes down with our good friends Jon and Rischel. It was the perfect way to go because it was hot and they had free valet parking for our bikes! That's San Francisco for ya!
One afternoon I was sitting on our couch minding my own business. All of a sudden I see this out of the corner of my eye! I guess that answers the question of how they clean the outside windows up here on the third floor!

Sorry for the vomiting of old pictures, but..........it had to be done.

Rappelling

Our good friends recently got a rope for rock climbing so we took it out for a test after the boys got home from school. We went to a park down the street from our place that has this amazing giant rock wall. I love rappelling. It's such a rush leaning backwards over a cliff with only a rope holding you up....and then letting yourself zip down quickly.


Rischel I'll send you the pictures of your Jon soon.

Cool Stairs

These are some rad stairs that are a few blocks up from our church building. Before my friend Anisha had her baby we were going on a lot of walks and towards the end, doing a lot of stairs.
 
Anisha and Bekah (also preggo)
 
This is the view from the top. I know to some people it looks really gloomy, but I actually love it!

Diana the Dentist

I lost my retainer a while back and Jon needed a new one.....so we went to the dental lab and Jon showed me how to make one. It's quite the process. I was totally gagging on this molding stuff.
 
Then later Jon let me drill on some teeth. I don't know how he does it. They are sooooo tiny and you have to be very precise. My hat's off to you buddy.

To: Amy and Ashley

Hey girls this is for you. In June/Julyish we moved into a two bedroom apartment. Its in the same apartments we have been living in before. It's has south facing windows which is super nice so even on foggy days we can get some sunlight. We are on the third floor now which is also great because we don't have anybody living above us to stomp and jump around all the time and drive me crazy! We now have enough room to have a dinning room table and also bought a new couch that is super comfy.

Next update: I am a little over twenty weeks pregnant and just found out we are having a girl! I was super duper sick in the first trimester and threw up all the time. Since about fifteen weeks I haven't been sick anymore.... Except when I brush my teeth I still gag every time and Jon thinks it's hilarious!

Update number three: Jon has started his third year of dental school at UCSF and is in the clinic now with his own patients. Last week he did some fillings and a root canal. He is loving it, which is good since it would be hard to turn back now.

I will try to do better at keeping you updated on that kind of stuff. It was sooooo fun hanging out with you guys at out old training table with your adorable kids!

Best Worst Movie

A couple months back Jon and I...and some friends...went to watch a super amazing documentary called "The Best Worst Movie". It's a documentary about the making of the movie "Troll 2", which among many other quirks, doesn't include a single troll, and there is no such movie as "Troll 1".
This is Jon with George Hardy, the main character in both Troll 2 and the documentary. Michael Stephenson who co starred with George in Troll 2, and wrote and directed the documentary was also at the screening. We got there early and were able to chit chat with them for a while. Fun fact: George is actually a dentist now...until his acting career pans out... He and Jon had a lot to talk about. Troll 2 is hilariously bad. I highly recommend watching both the movie and the documentary.

Muni

Sometimes I love Muni, but times like this when people are stepping on your feet and their gross stinky armpits are in your face....I'd rather walk. And that's saying a lot for me because walking is not my favorite thing to do.
