Apple Picking

The weather was perfect and so Emily, Brigham, and us (and apparently everyone else in Boston) decided to go apple picking yesterday.  We had a great time eating cider doughnuts, hotdogs, and tons of apples. An apple orchard is the perfect place for a pregnant lady who craves apples.   Nom nom nom!

 Meet Emily Appleseed.  Ancestor of Johnny.

Conference and Good Food

General conference calls for a special breakfast, homemade sticky buns. Yum! Once I finished making the sticky buns we invited some friends and they came over for breakfast.  Here are some pictures of their pre-baked goodness.

 Here is our breakfast club.  Emily brought over some yummy taco soup for lunch and Rachael and Job brought a delicious apple-berry pie for afternoon snack.

 Here was our set up for prime chillage for six people in the living room.  We also played some Scatagories and us girls re-did our fingernails.  It was a really fun and inspiring day.

Sanders Theatre

Our neighbor Job, who goes to the Boston Conservatory of Music, invited us to one of his concerts that happened to be held at the Sanders Theatre at Harvard.  This building has the same dining hall (Annenberg Hall) as the one in Hogwarts.  It was pretty cool, but not that cool b/c they don't allow pictures or anyone to go in.

 I took this picture so you can see more of the seating

My new hobby

I found a new hobby that I want to start.  McKay said it looks cool and he would do it with me but he would want Braiden to come too.  Anyone else want to join? I am just too excited!

Red Sox

Our wonderful neighbors invited us to go to the Red Sox/Orioles game with them over at Fenway Park.  The weather was perfect and it was a really fun! I am not sure if I now qualify as a traitor, because I was cheering for Boston and instead of Maryland? Oh well. What you going to do about it?

so cool!

The boys

 YAY! Go Team!  Us girls know how to have more fun at sporting events than the guys.

 Want a Fenway Dog?  Of course we do!!!!!!

 I think these were seriously the best hot dogs I have ever had in my whole life!  I think I need another one too.

 Time flew by so fast. I told McKay "I don't know why these always take three hours on TV but only an hour in real life."  He laughed and said "It has been three hours, Jess."  oops! haha!

Stair way to... not heaven

The Porter Square T stop in Cambridge has the LONGEST set of stairs we have ever seen.  It's ridiculous! Once you think that you will come out of the earth it just keeps on going. During the middle of McKay videotaping, he heard the announcement saying that the train was arriving so he flew down the stairs.  You can hear how fast his feet were going. It would have taken me or another normal human being a lot longer to get down without ending up with a broken neck.  HAHA!

20 Weeks baby

Yep, it's a girl.  Special thanks to Rachael who made the yummy treats for me in the picture above.  We actually got pictures this time which is cool.  But here is our little baby.  CUTE! She was kicking and squirming the whole time making it difficult for the technician to get her measurements.  

  Puking still happens every once in a while but has subsided for the most part.  My weight is back up, a little past normalville.  The new things are fainting (which ended up in a trip to the ER), mild anemia, midnight leg cramps, super strong fingernails and baby kicks.
