Surprise!

It's been a couple of weeks, but I can't pass up blogging this! Remember the little boy that Victoria and I babysat? Well, his mom asked me to go out to lunch with her, (she said I had been a big help and wanted to do something). That sounded pretty good, so I said sure! Little did I know, the lunch was actually a surprise baby shower. Surprised is kind of an understatement. You don't expect a baby shower for the second child, and I honestly didn't know the people in our ward liked me that much. We did have lunch, which was delicious, better than a restaurant. We played some fun little games, chatted, opened gifts and just had a good time. I felt pretty great and loved to say the least, not to mention a few prayers were answered in the process. We should be set with diapers for a few weeks, thanks to the cute diaper cake Becky made. All the gifts were so great! Even Victoria got a few gifts so she wouldn't feel left out. I was a little sorry she wasn't there to open them, but am excited to have something to give her when the baby comes. One of my biggest anxieties with the new baby coming is ... how is Victoria going to take it? Hopefully this will help. If anyone involved with the shower reads this blog, Thank you again!!!!

Zucchini Bread

I received a zucchini yesterday from someone in the ward. It was a little too large to do much with except something like Zucchini Bread. Victoria loves helping me cook and I enjoy having her help--if I'm not tired. Today was a good day for cooking with a toddler, I found it pretty funny. Grating the zucchini.
Once in a while helping Victoria help me is kind of challenging. Today she didn't want help pouring the cinnamon into the bowl. She pulled the tablespoon back from my reaching hand and dumped it on her head. She didn't even notice she'd spilled it and put the toddler size pinch remaining in the bowl. Her hair sure had a nice smell the rest of the afternoon.

It's been a while

Well it's definitely been a while since I posted anything. I'll blame it on other people's creativity. I went browsing blogs and decided I'm just not up to that kind of blogging, so I dropped it for a while. Besides, setting up this blog was partially meant to connect our family with our Bulgarian family a little more... has anyone from Bulgaria even popped in once to look? I don't see it on the live feedjit thingamajig on the side of the page if they have. Oh well, I guess it wouldn't be very interesting to check a blog all in English if you only speak Bulgarian. Or maybe... my husband hasn't meantioned it to them yet...hmmm.... we'll have to have some words.
So, a few weeks ago I bought a new camera. I liked it, but there were some issues about little things such as, it didn't come with a rechargable battery and recharger, it took too long to "process" and I have a hard time being satisfied with anything that I spent a lot of money on, unless it does exactly what I want, when I want. Stoyan thinks I'll never be happy with any camera. I spent a lot of time debating at the store. Then we tested it out for a week (vacation week), and then I took it back. I'm still researching what I really want and now I see that my old 3.1 MP-no zoom-Sony isn't all that bad, it works for the little everyday things. Though, I must admit I am glad I had the other camera for our vacation. I guess I'll just have to be sure to get another new camera before we go on another vacation.
The highlight of Stoyan's vacation was probably the fishing. Victoria thought it was interesting and enjoyed eating the fish later.
The scenery around Boulder, UT never ceases to amaze me. My cute hubby and daughter never cease to amaze me either. Love this picture of them.
We loved going to Green Lake. A little 1.25 mile hike and a freezing cold swim. Of course the best part of visiting Boulder was seeing Caroline and Ray and their four boys.
