My newest niece!

Rex's sister Becky gave birth to Haleigh Sherie Hale on June 16, 2009 at 11:12 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 7 ounces, and was 20 ½ inches long.

What a doll! She is the first of three nieces being born into the Kimball family in the next few months. Our little guy is going to have lots of girls to play with! I can't wait to meet her!

Haircut

This is my last post today, I promise. I've been telling Rex every day for the last three months or so that I need to get my haircut and I FINALLY did it.

Tahoe and Teresa's Wedding

After church last Sunday we jumped in the car and drove 3.5 hours to Tahoe for my friend Teresa's wedding. We arrived a little bit earlier than we planned so I pulled over and got some pictures of the beautiful scenery. This was the first time Rex and I have ever been to Tahoe and I loved it! I can't believe I spent my whole childhood growing up in Nevada and I never knew there was such a beautiful place in my state!






My friend Teresa and I go way back...we've been friends since 5th grade (maybe even earlier than that). I was so glad she got married somewhere close enough for me to attend! Here are a few pictures from her big day.

The ceremony took place outside and this was the awesome view!

The bride and her family

The cute flower girls picking up all the petals they dropped.

The cake made by the groom's aunt.

The first dance

These girls were two of my best friends in high school. Good memories!

I couldn't resist dancing when "dancing queen" came on. This one's for you T!

The dress

Congratulations Teresa and Greg! Love ya!

More Birthday Fun

A few days after Rex's birthday we invited some of his friends over for dinner and to help us eat Rex's huge birthday cake. His favorite is Texas sheet cake and its big enough to feed an army!


Here are the future graduates of the California School of Podiatric Medicine...

Tyler, Derek, Taylor, and the birthday boy.

Here are all of the cute wives at Angel's baby shower the next day...

Me, Janelle, Angel, and Lisa

It had been awhile since we had all gotten together so it was fun to see everyone. Thanks for coming guys!

Just in case you missed the last post...

Birthday Boy and Baby_____???

Yesterday Rex and I celebrated his 28th birthday! We started out the day like any other with Rex at the hospital on his rotation. The first thing he did when he got home was open his present.


The highlight of the gift bag was MarioKart for the Wii. Rex said something like, "I'm turning 28 and I'm still getting video games" (with a big smile on his face). Do boys ever grow out of those? I do have to admit that I think MarioKart is a fun one.


For dinner we went to Chevy's and had a yummy dinner and Rex was so excited to wear the sombrero when they sang him a birthday song (not really). Our final stop was to go to the movie theater and watch UP, which I have to say is one of our new favorite movies. Go see it!

It was a good day but I think Rex's best birthday gift of all was finding out today that we are going to have a baby BOY!!! Rex had a huge smile on his face when the ultrasound technician told us that it was a boy. I knew it all along!

May

Here is the overview for the month of May...

• We drove up to Tilden and enjoyed a yummy picnic dinner Rex made for Mother's Day.
• Rex studied like crazy for his 8 finals and did well!
• In celebration of finishing finals we went to a couple of movies Rex has been wanting to see.
• My family came to visit last week and we got to go see WICKED!!! We all loved it!
• On Saturday we took our Cub Scouts on a hike and saw some huge banana slugs.

The highlight of the month for me was when my family came to visit. This was the first time my mom has been to the Bay Area so we tried to see as much as possible. Here is what the week looked like:

SUNDAY-
Church at the beautiful Berkeley building.
Watching all of our favorite funny home video clips (thanks for bringing those Melis).

MONDAY-

Giants's Game

Until the shade got to us about the 6th or 7th inning we were roasting in the sun!

The Giants killed the Orioles!

After the game we drove over to the touristy area and walked out on a pier to get a good view of Alcatraz.
After that we stopped by Ghiradelli Square and Fisherman's Warf for a yummy clam chowder dinner!

TUESDAY-

Muir Woods (Warning...we got a little carried away with the pictures here)

Muir Beach

My first belly shot!

Golden Gate Bridge

WEDNESDAY-

Exploratorium and Palace of Fine Arts

After the temple we went to lunch at Barney's to celebrate Rex's upcoming birthday. Yummy burgers! Our next stop was IKEA and then the movie theater to see Star Trek.
