Massive Picture post!

I found my ever disappearing camera cord today. Thought I would update via picture post. So here goes:

Oh wait, here is a video of our lame singing for Michelle's birthday. I didn't sing because then all you would hear is me. :D


Saturday we celebrated Michelle's 26th B-day after conference. It's a tradition to get her grapefruit because she's nuts over them. Optional juicy glasses if you prefer.
Can't have a Hodgson birthday without the essential angel food cake, fresh strawberries and whip cream. Optional overdose of cream if you like. Don't worry, it was "light".

Lema tired. Can't see why, he slept through most of conference. (who cares if I did too)
Michael was sleepy as well. I think he just woke after conference. Yes, he is a self proclaimed vampire.
Randy leerves whip cream.
Michelle got her scrapbooking book by Becky Higgins. I. want. it.

So I found this cake online. yes, it's a cake. I think I want to make it.
Old Volleyball team pic after we won region. Woot.
Is this not the coolest thing ever? No need for an ugly flat screen mounted to the wall. I pull MINE out of a shelf. Get with the times people!
Michelle 8 months along. She's about to pop!
The cookies I made for the WesTech baby shower. took FOREVER, but I loved how they turned out and got lots of compliments. This is the favor for the family shower on saturday.

Closeup of my amazing goodness.
Michelle and her loot from the Westech party. She got SO much stuff she doesn't really need the family shower now! Such nice people at WesTech!
Ace in his pool. It was clear water about 30 minutes before the video, but he loves to roll in the dirt. End result, very muddy water and filthy dog

Joey the fatcat in her window. This is how she always sleeps. Randy decided his phone would make her look more entertaining.

I only took three photo's at MIchelle's B-day dinner. I am terrible at taking one of everyone. Sorry Joe and Tony!

Bekah and her messy face. So adorable!
Michelle mid-blow.

We like-a chinese food. Chinatown wok to be exact. YUM!!!!

Rachel prefers wood.

Well people's, hope you enjoyed the pictures & videos. Must be off to bed!

The countdown begins!

Only four more weeks until I am an aunt!!! Can you tell I'm keeping track? I'm so excited for Monday for the Westech baby shower. I have my gift all ready and it's cute!! It's one of those diaper cakes with part of it a pregnancy t-shirt that says, "Desperate to Deliver!" I hope it fits her belly though. She's quite large these days. My Grandma and Aunt are throwing a family shower for her as well. I'm so relieved that I don't have to do anything! Well, the dessert and the invitations, but those shouldn't be too hard. I already have the invitations done and we're sending them off Monday. Here is what they look like-


It would have been quite easy because I already had the backround design, except my mom and Michelle wanted it blue because she's having a boy. So I tediously enlarged it and did dot by dot in paint. It took forever. But it looks good I guess.

Tomorrow I have two choir performances in Taylorsville. Both at Sacrament meetings. Should be fun. Speaking of performances, If any of you guys are bored out of your minds on the days of my performances, you should come. Orchestra Perf is April 16, 7pm @ Taylorsville High on redwood road. My final choir fireside is April 20, 7pm @ SLCC Institute building. The Choir one usually has cake or doughnuts after. So there's an incentive, other than my singing, to come.

I'm a member of some violist group on facebook. Today I was browsing through some pictures and got a crack out of these. This one is SO true in so many ways

If I were to ever get a tattoo(which would never happen) I'd get this one. Minus the stupid treble clef. Is this one on their leg? I can't tell wich body part this is. Quite the dedicated musician I'd say.

Shhh, don't tell

My Grandma and aunt are planning a baby shower in April for my sister Michelle. My mom asked me to make a slide show of Michelle's wedding and reception because a bunch of Michelle's friends who missed the reception will be there. Here's a bit of what I've been working on. Playing around with this software makes me want to be a wedding photographer. So fun! But don't tell Michelle, it's a surprise and all.





So today was stake conference. Good except the lady behind us would not shut her yapper. Then when we sand the song, she sang the soprano part- an octave down. I HATE it when people do that. If you can't sing the soprano part because it's too high, LEARN HOW TO READ MUSIC AND SING ALTO!! Singing an octave lower makes you sound like a man and a fool.

Sheesh. Rant of the week there.

I planted some Cosmos (colored daisy-like flowers for you non gardening people) in a pot in our kitchen four days ago. I wasn't thinking when I put the pot on a shelf in our kitchen. This shelf is directly over the heat vent. So BANG!! I have plants growing within four days of planting the seed. This is super fast and they will outgrow the pot before they'll be able to stand outdoor temps. Use brain next time Bec....thanks.

Poo, can think of nothing to write tonight. Going to bed now. Or maybe watch a movie. Haven't seen Bourne Ultimatum yet. Not the mist sunday worthy activity. But then again, it's 12:30 so technically Monday now. Happy St. Patty's day! Don't forget to wear green!
