Mom Came to Visit!

Did I ever tell you guys that my mom is a teacher? She teaches junior high. In my head, I think about smelly boys and girls who are super dramatic….that’s probably why I don’t teach junior high. Anyway…the benefit of being a teacher is that you really do get a Spring Break every year! My mom’s school got two weeks this year (kids these days have it so easy). She spent the first week in Florida with my bother and his family and came to visit me the second week.

I had to work on Friday (what a drag) but I came home to a delicious dinner and a clean kitchen (that made me want to kidnap my mom and force her to stay forever!). We spent the weekend doing what we do best: shopping, eating, and watching movies. I was introduced to this salad which I have eaten every day since April 4^th.

We watched Frozen on Friday night – my mom hadn’t seen it yet. This is my favorite seen. I want an Olaf.

We pretty much spent the entire day Saturday out shopping. I was peer pressured into buying 4 pairs of shoes and a new purse among lots of other house decorations and random Target “must haves.” We then went to a shoe shoppers anonymous meeting. Just kidding! But seriously...I need an intervention.

On Saturday night, we ate a ridiculous amount of snack food and watched a double feature of Just Go With It and Water for Elephants. Just Go With It was funny. You can’t go wrong with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. Both of us had read Water for Elephants, but never saw the movie. The movie was great but as usual, did not live up to the book.

Despite my kidnapping attempt, my mom did leave when the weekend ended. So sad! She had to get home though to host a “Meet Levi” party. My brother and his family made the trip up to Clarksville and Levi got the meet the entire Huber family. I didn’t make it home, but I did get to skype in after class. These generation pictures are my favorite.

Do you get a Spring Break? What’s your favorite “Spring Break” activity?

What’s the last movie you watched, either at the theater or at home?

Baby Levi is Here!

I left out one very important part of my Vegas Trip. On Wednesday, February 5^th, in the wee hours of the morning (let’s not forget the time change, people!), I got a phone call from my very excited brother who was headed home from work to pick up his wife and head to the hospital. 9 VERY LONG hours later, I got another phone call from my very excited mom telling me that I was officially an aunt!

Levi Samuel was born at 2:51pm. 5 pounds 13 ounces of pure adorableness. I’m biased, but be honest people, have you ever seen a cuter baby? I didn’t think so!

It’s always difficult when you live so far away from your family (my brother lives in Florida), and it really sucked not being able to hop in the car and drive down to visit. I have to live off of iphone pictures for 3 whole weeks! We did get some quality Skype time in which I enjoyed very much…I’m sure Levi would have rather been sleeping :) How did people survive without technology?

Justin and I FINALLY got to go to Florida at the end of February to visit and meet our nephew. We read books. We went to the park, the zoo, and the beach. We played cards and monopoly (although the kid never really got the hang of houses and hotels) and watched some funny movies.

True story, the Boy had NEVER held a baby before he met Levi (that he can remember). I think he did a fine job. I left Florida with baby fever. The Boy left Florida excited to get a good night’s sleep (“how can that much noise come out of something so small?”). It’s probably a good thing he has a few years to prepare himself :)

I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from the trip…
