Babies!

Yesterday was Kara's(my SIL) Baby Shower! They already have a boy, but she's currently pregnant with a little baby girl, so that gives us all reason to celebrate and get her some girl stuff! I took a ton of pictures yesterday, but apparently I suck at taking pictures, because pretty much all of them were blurry...so here are a few pictures from the shower.
Kara! And yes, this is a blurry picture, but it's the best one that I took.

Tammy had some games planned, this one we tried to guess how big Kara's belly was with string and we also had a game where we had to guess what was in baby food jars.

Some of the people at the party and a picture of all the fun presents that she got!

 And sadly, those are the only O.K. pictures, epic fail on my part. :(

As for today, Ryan and I were called to be Nursery Teachers!! 

We found out this morning and when they told us about being called to Nursery, I think both of us were surprised. Neither of us have taught Nursery before, but it will be a fun adventure. Today we sat in with another Nursery class to kind of get the gist of what to do, it was actually pretty fun! This Ward is way organized and has specific things to every 20 mins. or so, to help the kids stay entertained, which will make our jobs easier! The ages of kids for Nursery are 18 months to 4 years old, and Ryan and I will be teaching the youngest! hahaha so we'll have the "fun" part of children transitioning into Nursery(a part that I'm not too excited about) but the kids are sooooo dang cute! The class we were in today had 1 or 2 of the kids that will be in our class and they are adorable! Our ward already has 4 Nursery classes and our class will be the 5th! Our class with start out with 4 or 5 kids, but by the end of the year we should have 11 or 12...crazy! Church will be very different from now on, spending an hour in Sacrament and then 2 hours with some toddlers. We're excited/scared and hopeful that we'll do well with this calling. If anything, people always say that teaching in Nursery is a good "birth control", I guess we'll find out!

Today was also the monthly McCorristin family dinner and Ryan and I were "in charge" of this months dinner, so we decided to do a Breakfast Pajama Dinner. So we dressed in Pajamas and all did Breakfast foods! We had pancakes, eggs, hasbrowns, sausage and bacon, orange juice and homemade cinnamon rolls for dessert! There were a lot of people missing tonight, so it was a smaller group, but it was still pretty fun! We also played Wacky Six and had a pretty chill night!

  2. The Oreo that was hanging out of my mouth fell out the second you went to take the picture and the instinct to "clean up" took over and I HAD to pick it up! Ha ha.
