The Great Outdoors

This morning David and I went up to Wasatch State Park above Midway and participated in a morning of snow-shoeing. It was great fun, and the landscape was beautiful!

Here is David, in search of the ever-illusive world's largest deer (or elk?) Unfortunately, the area was somewhat void of big game as far as we could tell.


The beautiful landscape I promised.


Oooooo...pretty.


More pretty.


Lookin' good Dave.


Good times. It was a great outing. During the course of our hike I also realized how out of shape I have become. About a third of the way up the trail we hit a steeper part that made me a little winded. When we stopped to take a rest I became slightly light-headed and momentarily felt like I needed to throw up...but don't worry, I didn't. After the rest, I broke through the "endurance barrier," as I like to refer to it, and it was smooth sailing from there on out.

UFO SIGHTING

OK...Natasha and I have been reluctant to release these photographs, but we have concluded that the world MUST know, and it is not our right to keep them from the general public.

These pictures were taken on our way back from St. George over Thanksgiving break. They speak for themselves, thus they need no explanation. You be the judge.

The Story of a Boy

I would like to share with you a story about a boy who wears glasses. His name is Jordan. Jordan had a pair of glasses, and these glasses allowed him to see. But one day, while he was cleaning his glasses off, one of the nose pads suddenly broke off! Jordan was sad, but he soon discovered that he could still wear his glasses with minimal discomfort, thus all was not forever lost.

Soon after this, Jordan and his dear wife Natasha went to Costco and picked out a new pair of glasses. They found the frames they liked and ordered them, only to discover that it would take a week for them to get in. This, however, was just fine because Jordan still had a functioning, yet mildly uncomfortable, pair of glasses.

But the story does not end here. The outlook seemed bright for brave little Jordan, but then tragedy struck. A few days after the glasses were ordered, Jordan was doing his school work. He had just finished a paper and was looking things over when Natasha came in to see what he was doing. Jordan had placed his glasses on the table in front of him, but Natasha did not notice this. As she bent over to look at the screen of the computer she placed her elbows on the table to brace herself, and SNAP!


Oh No! Jordan's glasses were wrecked beyond repair! Natasha was very sorry and Jordan was also sad...


Luckily, only a few days passed until the glorious arrival of Jordan's brand new glasses.


Again, Jordan could see, and he and Natasha lived happily ever after.

The End

Natasha's Every Night Prom Hair

Now that things have settled down since Christmas, I thought I would take the opportunity to post some things that I have been meaning to post.

I present to you, the thing on top of Natasha's head every night before we go to bed! (Did you catch the rhyming?) Every night (before she cut her hair) Natasha would put her hair up in preparation for bed, and this was the result. We (meaning I, Jordan) have come to the conclusion that it is a cross between a sort of prom hairstyle and a small Caribbean octopus, wouldn't you agree? Needless to say, its gorgeous.

PREGNANCY PROGRESSION: WEEK 28

Week 28 of Natasha's progression towards motherhood comes on the heels of not one, but two haircuts...on the same day. Wow, that is a sweet haircut. (Actually, this was taken during the time between the first and the second, so if you think this one looks good, just wait until you see her now... HOLY COW!)

PREGNANCY PROGRESSION: WEEK 25

After a temporary hiatus from the blogosphere, the Cullimores RETURN. Without further adieu, Natasha at 25 weeks. Lookin' good!

Where shall he lay his head?

So, my wonderful boss gave us her bedding and decorations from her last baby. It is really cute stuff. I am excited, because I wanted to go with an animal theme and that's what she happened to have and the big bonus was that it was free! (Please notice the cute hanging animal mobile at the top center of the above picture).


Pictures for the walls and cute inquiring animals for the headboard of the crib.

They are stuffed animals and they like it (see the smiles), so this isn't inhumane.
