More Fun times in Seattle

Here are some more pics. These are of the Mariners game that we went to on Saturday. It was a lot of fun to go to a professional baseball game. I got what I've always wanted a Ball park hot dog. It was delicious. They also had these awesome garlic french fries that were to die for. The smell was a little overwhelming but so worth it. It was a good night of baseball and the Mariners won so that was fun. We also got free t-shirts for Ken Griffey Jr. night even though he didn't play

Tony and Amanda, I know we look puffy but we had jackets on under our shirts.

Pictures from Seattle

Some miracle worker at my mom's work was able to save my pic from Seattle! So I wanted to share some with you.
These pictures are from the Experience Music Project, which is kinda Seattle Rock museum. A lot of the museum is about Jimi Hendrix, who is my favorite music artist.

Boating

Last Saturday my family went boating at pine view reservoir. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately I had to stay on shore and just watch the action from my binoculars. It was a nice day the clouds were out for most of the day so it wasn't too hot for me which I liked a lot. Everybody went wake boarding and knee boarding at first before the water got to choppy. It looked like they were having a ton of fun. My mom stayed on shore with me while they did that and we had a nice little chat. After the water started to get choppy they decided to tube (that's what I was really jealous of). It looked like so much fun. My dad had bought kinda a mini wienie tube for three people and it was hilarious to watch them out there especially when they fell off and had to get back on. My dad would have to tow the tube back to the boat because they couldn't get on out in the lake. Well I have some pics (courtesy of Whitney's camera) and an awesome video of my mom trying to get into the boat from the shore (be prepared to laugh, we sure did. She also know this video is on here so it's all good). Whitney and my Dad on the tube, his face is great! Trying to get onto the tube Whitney, Mandi and Preston before they fell off Everybody before the wake boarding and knee boarding begins!

So we are having a little girl after all!

Tony and I went to the doctor yesterday for our twenty week ultrasound and it turns out we are having a little girl. It was quite drama filled because Tony could not see what the technician was pointing out, so he was very mad and moody when we left. He wasn't upset that it was a girl just that he couldn't see anything so he didn't believe her. Finally we decided to go to fetal foto where they have a better ultrasound machine. We decided to take Whitney since she didn't get to go the first time. I think she liked a lot, she is one excited soon to be aunt. Anyway fetal foto confirmed it. So we will be having a little Emma Rae and we are very excited.

The McFall Family Reunion!

The last weekend of June we had a very fun McFall family reunion. Everybody made it to lake Palisades near Manti, except for Preston and Mandi, and Tony was working grave yards. My Mom and I drove down friday night to Manti to watch the Manti Pageant, my dad, whitney, uncle jim and family were already down there so we had to meet them when I got off work. Unfortunately I slept through the entire thing. OOPS! but what is a girl to do when she is exhausted. We did a lot of swimming at the lake and played a huge tournament of bean bag toss. I think Whitney and I did a great job, we were pretty awesome. It was so great to see my grandparents, they are so cute and I love to see them every chance I get. Most everybody got there on Sunday which was the day I had to leave, so I was a little sad that I didn't get to spend more time with them, but hopefully next year I'll get to go the whole weekend. Here are some pics of the weekend.

Seattle!

Tony and I took a road trip to Seattle over the weekend and it was great we did a lot a really fun stuff that I've never done before in all the times we've gone up to Seattle. We left on Friday early in the morning and drove all day, which did take a little longer since I had to stop more often. We still made it by about 8:30 and that was the only day that it rained on us while we were there. That's right I went to Seattle to get out of the rain! On Saturday we went to a museum called experience music project, its about rock and roll, and all the bands that have come out of Seattle. It was made for the best rock and roller of all time JIMI HENDRIX! My absolute favorite. The also had this sculpture or something like that which was made out of tons of guitars and played a song. It was pretty cool looking. After that museum we went to the Mariners baseball game it was a lot of fun and they won(even better). I had a ball park hot dog, some cotton candy, and some amazing garlic french fries. They were so good, but the smell was a little overwhelming for me. That was all on Saturday.

On Sunday, we went to a great restaurant called rock bottom. They have a ton of good food and great beer. I didn't have any of the beer of course and besides the whole pregnant thing I don't like it at all. But other people we were with do :) I had a very good dish called mac and chicken. It had mac and cheese and chicken, but it had some seasoning in it that was really good. After that Tony, Tres and I went on the underground tour which was very interesting. Seattle has a very colorful background, but it was a good tour and if you ever make it to Seattle I highly suggest going on it. After that tour we met back up with Jamie at Best Buy where Tres found rock band. So we had a fun night of rock band. That was pretty much it for Sunday.

On Monday, Tony and I went on a duck tour of Seattle, which was hilarious. You get on one of those world war 2 amphibian truck/boats and do half the tour on land and the other half in the water. Our tour guide was so funny we like him a lot. After the tour I was hungry of course, what else is new, so we went down to pier 66 and had lunch at a restaurant called Anthony's and it was so good. I had a clam chowder in a bread bowl, and I'm not really sure what Tony had and he couldn't remember. It was a lot of different fish and seafood in a tomato based broth. I also had a Hawaiian ice tea, which was so delicious. I want to make it myself. It was ice tea with a mint syrup in it. MMM! so good, the only thing now is I can't find mint syrup and I don't know how to make mint syrup. So if anyone knows how to make a mint syrup or where to buy it let me know. After we all got home that night, Tony and I from down town and Jamie from work, we all went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It was as always very good!
THE ONLY SURVIVING PICTURE!

On Tuesday, we got up early and left for Salt lake. We made it home at about 8:30, where we came home to a great surprise of my yard looking amazing! My dad and Whitney had mowed, edged and totally cleaned up my backyard from all the construction work at our house! I am so happy they did this and love my family very much for watching my house and the crazy dogs while I was gone! I would post some pics but unfortunately the memory card in my camera decided to DIE right at the end of our trip so I have lost all of my pictures. Hopefully my wonderful cousin Matt might be able to rescue the pictures but we will have to see! I do have one picture of Tony at the pier that I took with my cell phone after my camera died but that is it! It's up above with our Monday day. Also sorry about the bad quality but what do you expect with a cell phone camera!

baby showers, weddings, and dancing oh my!

Sorry its been so long since I lasted blogged. I've just been so tired and busy, but mostly tired. Well we went to our ultra sound and they are about 90% sure its a boy, however we have one on July 2nd with our actual doctor so hopefully they will be able to tell us for sure! In the meantime I have just downloaded some rock and roll lullaby's! They are so fun I love them. Once again sorry it took me so long to post that, now on to this weekend!!!!

First was my cousin Kyle's wedding. I am so happy for him and his new wife is so cute. We are happy to have her in the family. They got married on Friday which it of course rained, but it was still very nice. They got married in the new Draper temple and my parents said it was beautiful. On thursday before they got married we had a wedding dinner for them, where their family challenged our family to a softball game. It was a lot of fun. I actually caught a line drive, but I'm usually good at catching things coming straight for me its when I have to move that I miss. I also got to hits, I had a runner though since it's still a little tough for me to run with my ankle.


Second was a very fun baby shower for two of my friends at work! They are sisters and due two days apart. It was a lot of fun and I was very jealous of all the fun stuff that they recieved and it made me realize all of the stuff I'm going to need. And that totally stresses me out. The shower was suppose to end at 7 and I ended up staying until 8 oops! My one friend who is pregnant also has a little girl who will be two in August and she was so cute there. She fed me about a bucket full of popcorn. I think I've been popcorned out for life, but then she shared her ice cream and that was really good.


And lastly, which acutally didn't happen this week end but tonight was Whitney's dance recitetal. It was fun and she did a really good job, however at first we didn't even know if she was going to make it. Whitney was in Moab, river rafting, with her school (I know I'm jealous too). She barely made it back from that trip in time to get to the dance recital. Brityn danced tonight too, but she danced early so I missed her, which I'm really bummed about I love to watch the little kids dance and she is so cute. Well that about does it for me right now I do have some pics and a video of Whitney dancing but that will have to come later I'm exhausted right now. My work had to fire a girl last week and we have a some scheduled off almost everyday this month so I'm working extra, but at least the money will be good. And I get my chance for a vacation coming up!!!
