Nick did a wonderful job in making my day special! I usually go snowboarding on my birthday, but since I am pregnant that wasn't an option, but we found lots of things to do instead.<br /><br />To start of the day, we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. I love aquatic life, but I don't like to eat it. So it was a perfect start to the day.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-83D_3nHUppw/Te7V85QKVgI/AAAAAAAAAvc/90e-v_3y4kA/s1600/Copy%2Bof%2BIMG_0020.jpg"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

Nick wanted me to make him an apron, and there was extra fabric left over, so I decided to make me one too!! Then I got the hat pattern off the Internet for free. So i just needed my mad sewing skills and we were ready for Halloween. Thanks to Nick for providing the smock!!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmdTmZ8hsI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/UlPuqPV90qU/s1600-h/Halloween+2009+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402522188060067522" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmdTmZ8hsI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/UlPuqPV90qU/s320/Halloween+2009+004.jpg" /></a> First we celebrated Halloween by going to a birthday/Halloween party for Matt's daughter, who just turned One, so cute!! Us with the teenagers (Ben and Tara Jean).<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmciEvtleI/AAAAAAAAAbI/45HWYI_oFuA/s1600-h/Halloween+2009+005.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402521337210967522" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmciEvtleI/AAAAAAAAAbI/45HWYI_oFuA/s320/Halloween+2009+005.jpg" /></a><br />We carved pumpkins on the 30th with some friends, this is Nick's pumpkin. Turned out to be not so scary, more of a jolly little pumpkin.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchxzzrQI/AAAAAAAAAbA/h4A9rK7TtcA/s1600-h/dc+teddy+rosevelt+island+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402521332127870210" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchxzzrQI/AAAAAAAAAbA/h4A9rK7TtcA/s320/dc+teddy+rosevelt+island+002.jpg" /></a> I carved mine with the fall theme in mind, and then used it for our Halloween decor, since all of mine is in Utah. We also made pumpkin seeds- turns out I am not a big fan.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchY7BpqI/AAAAAAAAAa4/5q4YWRzI1As/s1600-h/Halloween+2009+006.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402521325447259810" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchY7BpqI/AAAAAAAAAa4/5q4YWRzI1As/s320/Halloween+2009+006.jpg" /></a><br />The Bakery chef slaved over these pumpkin cupcakes, they were delicious!!!<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchOrL77I/AAAAAAAAAaw/BJGnjPSdahg/s1600-h/Halloween+2009+007.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402521322696470450" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SvmchOrL77I/AAAAAAAAAaw/BJGnjPSdahg/s320/Halloween+2009+007.jpg" /></a><br />Then to finish off the evening we had a few friends over for dinner in a pumpkin!!! I make this recipe every year, but i think i will tweak the recipe more to my liking. We ended playing the card game Pit, and I only won once, so it was a little disappointing. Then we opened our Veranda and watched a million people walking to Georgetown, all decked out!! It was a very memorable Halloween.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/Svmcg31VQwI/AAAAAAAAAao/qXXCZCrHPLo/s1600-h/Halloween+2009+009.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402521316565009154" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/Svmcg31VQwI/AAAAAAAAAao/qXXCZCrHPLo/s320/Halloween+2009+009.jpg" /></a> Love, the <span style="font-size:180%;">Chef Gottwalds</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Natalie Gottwaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299575953921286781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083945613740931057.post-11056914167520498012009-10-22T08:34:00.000-07:002009-10-28T06:20:18.772-07:004 G's<div align="center">For General Conference we went to beautiful West Virginia for the weekend.

It has been a long journey, but worth it!! For the record..... I read the books first and then I watch the movies after. So in August Nick and I went to the 6<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> movie, then I was able to read the last book. Love it!! But my question is.... should Harry have been able to fly (without a broom of course, like <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Snape</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Voldemort</span>) because she hinted that his mom could??? .....

It was pretty fun except for all the RAIN!!!! We stayed the night at a place called the Freedoms Foundation, they fed us well!!</div><br /><br /><div align="center">They even welcomed us with this sign!! I thought it was cool!!</div><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfkcu-Q8I/AAAAAAAAAWg/RE1bDHAeQs8/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+044.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550971616609218" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfkcu-Q8I/AAAAAAAAAWg/RE1bDHAeQs8/s320/Philly+excursion+044.jpg" /></a><br />This was our tour guide for Valley Forge. It was pouring and guess who forgot their umbrella... yep, but fortunately Trent and Sara were able to be kind enough to let us borrow one of theirs. The guy in the blue umbrella was hilarious, the wind was just blowing his umbrella all over the place.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfj_b3mvI/AAAAAAAAAWY/4AMOqi7_woU/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550963751852786" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfj_b3mvI/AAAAAAAAAWY/4AMOqi7_woU/s320/Philly+excursion+004.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Look to the left of this picture there are like 5 people under one umbrella. Hilarious!! Let's just say by the end of the tour, we were miserable.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfjZzaYaI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/mfxjfhUadUc/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550953650053538" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfjZzaYaI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/mfxjfhUadUc/s320/Philly+excursion+010.jpg" /></a> </div><div>This is a picture of the buildings the soldiers stayed in, he said like a billion people fit in there and tons of people died because of all the uncleanliness.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfi9FY1cI/AAAAAAAAAWI/7h5Dqg0gE9I/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+011.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550945940821442" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfi9FY1cI/AAAAAAAAAWI/7h5Dqg0gE9I/s320/Philly+excursion+011.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfCARTs3I/AAAAAAAAAWA/_J_02OTO_vs/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+015.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550379860439922" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfCARTs3I/AAAAAAAAAWA/_J_02OTO_vs/s320/Philly+excursion+015.jpg" /></a><br />On the bus with no rain, but still wet.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfBuVR2OI/AAAAAAAAAV4/AYX3nGXPYD8/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+024.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550375045257442" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfBuVR2OI/AAAAAAAAAV4/AYX3nGXPYD8/s320/Philly+excursion+024.jpg" /></a><br />This is George Washington. I think this was the highlight of the trip for me. He talked to us as if he was actually him for about an hour, then he dropped the act and told us who he really was. When he dropped his accent and voice, it was so weird to hear him talk normal. He was an awesome impersonator.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfBfLmFiI/AAAAAAAAAVw/OP8GqtC51kE/s1600-h/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+042.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550370978108962" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfBfLmFiI/AAAAAAAAAVw/OP8GqtC51kE/s320/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+042.jpg" /></a><br />George on his horse.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfAiy19BI/AAAAAAAAAVo/N8IefPBduJU/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+046.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550354768163858" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfAiy19BI/AAAAAAAAAVo/N8IefPBduJU/s320/Philly+excursion+046.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This was a highlight for Nick-Ping Pong. He wanted to play like all the time. They had a pretty cool game room at the place we stayed, ping pong, wii, pool, and lots of other games. Around the world ping pong was pretty fun too.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfALbVBlI/AAAAAAAAAVg/NYrQGKI2OzY/s1600-h/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+041.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386550348495521362" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDfALbVBlI/AAAAAAAAAVg/NYrQGKI2OzY/s320/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+041.jpg" /></a><br /><br />The home George Washington stayed while at Valley Forge.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd5vKr7wI/AAAAAAAAAVY/pWRw_Q8vnCw/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+033.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386549138318683906" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd5vKr7wI/AAAAAAAAAVY/pWRw_Q8vnCw/s320/Philly+excursion+033.jpg" /></a><br />Independence Hall in the background.<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd5d0876I/AAAAAAAAAVQ/4B5j1BnxDME/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+050.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386549133664120738" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd5d0876I/AAAAAAAAAVQ/4B5j1BnxDME/s320/Philly+excursion+050.jpg" /></a><br />The Liberty Bell<br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd4zRGGOI/AAAAAAAAAVI/bKa1Sb0olhI/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+051.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386549122239437026" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDd4zRGGOI/AAAAAAAAAVI/bKa1Sb0olhI/s320/Philly+excursion+051.jpg" /></a> This is the room where they signed the Declaration of Independence.<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc8KPfmyI/AAAAAAAAAVA/gB94gM96IGQ/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+055.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386548080434715426" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc8KPfmyI/AAAAAAAAAVA/gB94gM96IGQ/s320/Philly+excursion+055.jpg" /></a><br />We had some free time in Philadelphia, so we looked around for a bakery, because i was in dire need for a cookie, on our way we saw this building, I thought it was funny!!!<br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc7NEa7zI/AAAAAAAAAUw/beEcuS4Y9r8/s1600-h/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+071.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386548064013709106" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc7NEa7zI/AAAAAAAAAUw/beEcuS4Y9r8/s320/Copy+of+Philly+excursion+071.jpg" /></a><br />Nick, the birds, and the bird lady (pictured on the right), she was serious about the birds and got mad if you interrupted her and them.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc65Mg6kI/AAAAAAAAAUo/xxPRtvjHRQc/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+074.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386548058678946370" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc65Mg6kI/AAAAAAAAAUo/xxPRtvjHRQc/s320/Philly+excursion+074.jpg" /></a><br />Then on our way home we stopped at this pizza place for dinner, it was so good!!!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc6X9S84I/AAAAAAAAAUg/IpLQdx9bkC4/s1600-h/Philly+excursion+078.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386548049756746626" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_syLfbunU6uo/SsDc6X9S84I/AAAAAAAAAUg/IpLQdx9bkC4/s320/Philly+excursion+078.jpg" /></a> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Natalie Gottwaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299575953921286781noreply@blogger.com1
