WICKED!!

So, Alexis' mom bought us tickets to Wicked and flew out to watch Livy so we could go to San Francisco and watch it. How sweet is that? So away we went to San Fran. We got there and parked and walked around to find something to eat. We found Chevy's.

Look how much fun we are having.

Not sure why this picture was taken, but I sure do love that salsa. Turned out our waiter was a real piece of work and I kind of wanted to punch him in the mouth. We didn't order any drinks and he pretty much ignored us the rest of the time. It took like 45 minutes for our food to get to us and all these people that got there after us got their food way before us. He also never filled our water and kind of talked to us like we were idiots. He then had the nerve to tip himself 20% on our bill but he didn't list it anywhere hoping that maybe we would tip him more. I wanted to write -$2 on the tip line but I wasn't sure if that would fly. We then had about 3 minutes to eat our food before we had to run back to the theater. Good times.


Here we are after the play. We had some little Russian girl take the picture so that we would have proof that we were there. The play was awesome of course and we had a really fun time. It has been a while since we did anything without Livy, and it was really nice to get away for a little while. Thanks Nancy!


More proof. Good times. First post without Livy ever. The end.

Livy at the Movies! S-U-C-C-E-S-S!

We took Livy to see Up yesterday at the dollar theater next to us and she did SO AWESOME! I've taken her to a movie once before and she had to get up once, but this time she sat with me or Matt through the whole thing. Besides a little musical chairs action, it was totally great.

Also, I freaking love this movie! This is the second time I've seen it and I'll go as far as saying that it's Pixar's best one yet. Matt claims Cars is close, but this movie is so hilarious and touching and you'll seriously cry after the first 15 minutes! I love it! Also, it's funny to see what Livy will laugh at. She didn't laugh at the actual funny parts. She would start laughing really loud when like the dog got hurt or something bad happened... Does this mean she's a psychopath?

Livy Loves to Copy Cat

This kid just makes me happy. She loves to copy me lately. And apparently I do this a lot when I'm sitting in front of the computer because she's been pointing it out every single time. This kid is getting funnier and funnier. I can't wait to see what happens when she meets her little brother!

Movie Time

The other day I was trying to get all of Livy's latest "tricks" on video. It took like 4 different videos but I got clips from each to show how silly and smart this kid is. We have this word book that she loves to read every night. She's finally able to make the words sound sort of like what they actually are. She use to say "daboh" every time we asked her to say something. So we've come quite a long way! ha! Once she finally grasps the English language, I don't think this kid will ever stop talking! Also, Matt and I are finally to the point where we have to watch what we say! I was watching a tennis match and I yelled "Come on!" And now every time Livy sees tennis on T.V. she runs up to the screen and says "Come on!" It's so funny!

Livy Lately

Honestly, I wasn't even mad when I found her like this -- just proud that she's taking after her Mommy. I, too, prefer to eat chocolate milk, rather than drink it.

The other day I came home one morning and I found this little set up. Livy LOVED it, but I think Matt may have loved his creation even more.

Don't mess with her when she's cleaning. Doesn't it look like she's on a little mission??

Loving T.V. together

I have man parts inside of me!!!

So I tricked Matt into taking me to get an early ultrasound and we found out it's a boy!!!! We weren't really surprised because this pregnancy has been SO DIFFERENT from my first, but it was fun to have it confirmed! We went to this lady who does ultrasounds out of her home - we thought it would be a super creepy experience (similar to our first one with the crazy European doctor) but it wasn't! She was super nice and we got a lot of pics!

He was so active the whole time and then at the very end, he fell asleep! He was loving his little hands though.

Creepy face.

Already a fan of prayer.

And here's the undeniable truth that he is ALL BOY. It was verified several times.

Wiseman Update

Livy has to have her blankets whenever she's going potty. So sanitary, I know.

Here is Livy's and my favorite pastime. We pick out and eat all of the charms from Lucky Charms. Like mother like daughter. And yes, Matt is disgusted with our behavior, but it doesn't affect us.

She LOVES to put Matt's socks on lately.

She'll put them both on and stand up and it looks like she's some weird little dog.

Rise and Shout!

Un-freaking-believable! BYU 14- Oklahoma 13! Our Cougars did us proud tonight! Also we were cheering so loud a few times that Livy started jumping up and down and pumping her fists in the air screaming at the top of her lungs. It was awesome, she definitely bleeds blue.

Here is Livy doing some sweet moves. She is our mascot.

GGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOO


COUGARS!!!!!

We love us some Cougar football.

Update Time

Get ready for hecka posts! Today's the first day I've had energy to clean our whole house and now I feel like blogging! It's amazing! Maybe the second trimester is really happening! Woo! Also, I keep them in chronological order so start at the bottom and work your way up!

The biggest bump yet...

I ran into the living room after I heard Livy screaming. I found her on the bricks... great. And she was too hysterical to let me see what had happened. So after she kind of calmed down I looked at her face and found this little doosy of a bump on her forehead. I was pretty scared because it's never been this big before! Also, she was prancing around in her unicorn outfit during the fall and it didn't do anything! Come on!

I tried to get different angles so you could see how huge it was off of her head, but none of them really worked out because she was not feeling like cooperating...

It's Potty Time! Yesssssssssss!

September 1st is a day that will live on in the Wiseman household as a day of elation!!!! Livy has been asking to take her diaper off a lot lately, so we decided to get a potty and see what happens. Well, first day we get it, she peed in it! And then she peed in it again today after asking to sit on it! She's in no way potty trained and probably won't be for a WHILE but still - I'm so freaking excited!!!

I made her clap next to the pee so she'd know it was a good thing. At first, she kept telling the pee "no, no"

There it is in all it's glory. Also, those weird things are bits of peanut butter from the snack she had to have while she sat on the potty. Matt was thoroughly confused when I showed him the pee at first. Then, he asked why I kept the pee. To which I replied, so you can clean it up - I'm not touching that!

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm 80-years-old

So my friend, Michelle, and I decided we should can a ton of pears that I got from my church. Without any help, we decided that after watching a 5 minute tutorial on how to can pears, that we were fully ready. I mean really, how hard could it be? The lady in the tutorial made it look incredibly easy. Anyway, we learned quite a bit along the way but here are the pictures to document the event. We felt pretty old...

Here are the jars we found SUPER CHEAP - thank you WinCo! I love WinCo - and I converted Michelle to become a WinCo lover as well.


This is what was left over. Half the box took us FOREVER. It was like pears kept appearing as we kept taking them out. Also, I'm pretty sure we did it too early, but the pears tasted fine afterward so no worries.

Here's the rest of the mess...

Our first can! Go us!

Lazy Days

The Wiseman household has been full of lazy days lately. All I've had the energy to do is lay on the couch while Phineas and Ferb raises my poor child. Luckily, I'm getting my energy back slowly, but surely. Unfortunately, my sensitive gag reflexes are staying STRONG.

I feel like this is a classic picture to have of your kid. Also, here's the proof that she listens to Phineas and Ferb better than she listens to her own mommy.

Livy has been super cute lately, even though we've entered the "no" phase. Seriously, everything is no, even if it's something she really wants. It's awesome. The other day Matt kept asking her to come here. She kept saying no. Then, Matt changed the way he said "come here" by saying it in a sing-song voice. So then Liv changed the way she said no by saying it in the exact same sing-song way. It was so funny!

How awesome is this next picture!?! Haha - Also, Livy has a front tooth coming in! HOORAY!!! This will be her fifth tooth... and she's almost 18 months... for the love.

Our new home! Oo-OOOO!

We're in our new home and it's so freakin' huge I can't get over it! There's so much room everywhere - we love it! Anywho, here's a little tour of the new place...

Living Room

(Side Note: Here's Matt watching his college football. Last night, he got so excited that football is starting that he couldn't go to sleep. He then called me to remind me that he now owns Thursday nights and all day Saturdays... You can all look forward to some posts about what he's broken in our house if the Cougs' season doesn't go very well.)

Kitchen (Seriously, it's humungo)

Laundry Room (Next to the kitchen)

Also, these are our first ever washer/dryer! We got them for $300 on Craigslist - they're huge and work perfectly!

Hallway
1st Room

We're still trying to figure out what we want to do with this room. For now it's my junk room with the computer and piano. We'll see what happens when #2 arrives.

1st Bathroom

Liv's Room
Our Room

This is also ginormous compared to any other room we've had. Seriously, this is the most room we've ever had in between our bed and dresser. And check out my little corner! I have room over there for all of the stuff that usually crowds our bathroom! Woo! Am I too excited? I don't even care.
