New Phones, Monthly Baby Photos, Shower Remodel

It's been quite the eventful few weeks. Here's what we were up to 3 weeks ago:


Trevor went down to Phoenix on February 26th for our friends Callie and Bart's welcome baby party. He took the Friday before off so we could spend some time together and get some things done before he went down to Phoenix for the weekend. Our new phones arrived the day before (Thursday), so we fiddled with those. We love our new phones! We got the HTC Incredible. The best feature about our new phones is the Google calendar feature. Gone are the days of reminding Trevor of upcoming appointments/classes/birthdays. They are automatically sent to his phone via my Google calendar! Yay! I'm very excited to use the Baby ESP app once the baby arrives. Hopefully it'll be as useful as it sounds.  

We also ran some errands around town. We went to the grand opening sale at JoAnn's. I got a yard of 7 different fabrics for around $30. Not too bad. They were all on sale and I had a coupon for an extra 20% off all sale/clearance items! I want to use the fabric for monthly baby shots. I'm hoping the pictures will look something like these: Making it Lovely, Young House Love, and Fresh Mommy Blog. I really like the idea of having something constant like a chair or a stuffed animal to compare the baby's growth over time. I just haven't figured out what yet. She has a Vulli Sophie Giraffe that I'm thinking of using but I'm not sure if it is big enough.

On the Saturday before Trevor left for the Welcome Baby party, we went to H&R Block to do our taxes. We spent 3 hours but were very successful! We received a nice refund that's going straight into the bathroom remodel. This past Friday (March 11), we actually meet with a ReBath representative and started on our shower remodel. Yay! It won't be done before Baby arrives, but it'll be before I return to work. 

New Camera

As some of you may recall, we lost our digital camera on a rafting trip. We recently purchased a new one. It was a difficult search, but we finally found one that met all our needs:

1. Shock proof, freeze proof, & water proof

2. Takes great pictures in all lighting - especially low lighting

3. Easy to use

4. Can take video

Crazy Fire!

This season has been so dry that living up here in the mountains is a huge fire hazard and evacuation a huge possibility. Yesterday, there was a huge fire by Little America. Firefighters fought to control it for a good portion of the day. Today, right now, as I'm typing this...there is a HUGE fire between Mount Elden (the mountain we live near) and the San Francisco Peaks. Our home doesn't appear to be in danger at the moment. We didn't even know there was a fire until we went out for lunch for a relaxed, lazy Sunday.

Here are some pictures we took.

This was on our way to lunch.

This was driving up 4th street to our house.

Please pray that the firefighters are able to put it out and for everyone's safety, especially the firefighters and the people who's homes are affected.

Jenga Jenga Jenga

We had a great time tonight! We played Jenga! We got a whooping 29 story Jenga! I don't think I've ever made a tower that high, ever!

This is not a pic of the 29 stories, so don't count. I do have one but this is the best picture I got with my camera phone.

We're Back!!!

It's been a very busy month and a half. We've been getting healthy (aka getting over what is hopefully our last cold of the season), celebrating birthdays, and spring cleaning. Lots to blog about. 

My folks are up here visiting for the week while Trevor is in Cali working. They brought up our patio set we bought at a garage sale we found on Craigslist in Phoenix. The guy originally bought the set for $600 and we got it to the tune of $140! It looks fantastic! We can't wait to use it next weekend when some friends come up for Memorial Day weekend. 

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming up and bringing the patio set too along with many other things!

Stay tuned for more updates of what we've been up to the last month and a half.

Paper Anniversary

In January we decided as a part of our paper anniversary we would make a photo book of our first year of marriage. Then we though how cool would it be to make a photo book of every year of our marriage! Every year we will make one of these books. The book for last year turned out great! I'm a little sad, after both Trevor and I bother proof-read it there were still a couple of mistakes that we didn't catch before we purchased a printed copy. I have since correct the errors. For this album we used shutterfly.com. Next year's album we're going to try blurb.com. The prices are comparable so we want to see how the quality differs. We'll let you know what we think.

We're Famous (almost)

I just recently looked on our wedding photographers website to see what they're been up to. They've totally revamped their website and blog. It looks awesome! And our wedding photos and album are on their new website! I feel so honored. They are so much fun to work with! Love them! I want them to take our family photos someday. =)

Check out their website!

We're in the "Just plain fun & a few tears," "Albums," and "Raves" sections. A picture of the Castle from our wedding is also in the "Sunset wedding, silky skies, and solar flare" section.

My Super Star Husband

As some of you know, when I first met Trevor in our salsa class at ASU I immediately thought he looked like Ryan Phillipe and Justin Timberlake. Well the proof is in...Justin Timberlake is my husband alter ego.

Here's the proof:

1. Both are very creative - Trevor is working on making a video game; Justin is creating a clothing line called William Rast.

2. Both in bands that have since disbanded - Trevor was in the Geriatric Gigolos; Justin was in NSync.

3. Both are very musically talented - Trevor can play the sax, piano, and sing; Justin can play the piano, sing, and beat box.

4. Both are attracted to dark haired women - Trevor to me, of course; Justin to Jessica Biel.

5. Both are living in CA for work.

6. If that's not enough to convince you...the proof below in undeniable!

Trevor Boone = Justin Timberlake

Out with the Old, In with the New

We got new phones!!! Yay! Finally! Our old phones were horrible! Constantly dropping calls. Took forever to send text messages! We also switched plans. We were previously on the T-Mobile Family plan under our respective parents' accounts. We officially have our own family plan on Verizon. Trevor gets a discount through his work. It was either AT&T or Verizon. We picked Verizon. From several people that we talked to, Verizon gets the best reception in Flagstaff. We have unlimited texts. 700 shared minutes. And unlimited Verizon to Verizon calls, nights, and weekends (which is standard with most plans now).

We got the new Chocolate 3 phones. Here are what they look like:

Trevor has the black one and I have the light blue. They also serve as MP3 players! =) So awesome! They have FM transmitters, which means they function like an IPod. You find a radio frequency that isn't being used and it plays in your car radio! It has an awesome camera! You add a removeable memory card to an extra 8GB of memory. There's already 1GB of memory on the phone. They are awesome!!! =)
