Six Months!!!



Ender announces.... He is proud to share with all that he has been here on earth six months today. He still is short, round, and can't talk, but boy can he find fun things to do. Like spitting cereal, chewing on everything, jumping in his johnny-jump-up, and making his all famous raspberries.

Makes you wonder why we all can't find the simple joy in life like a baby huh? But he is a happy and wise six month old. Or at least we think he must be wise. How else would you explain his being able to get anyone to do anything for him?

Christmas Wish List

Well, we don't really need a ton of stuff...maybe just some fun games or something like that. AJ & Aaron really like the Veggie Tales movies, and they can ALWAYS use new socks---they're feet are huge! :)

Wish List

I am not being a Thanksgiving hater or not giving it the notice it needs, but I think we should start posting gift ideas for Christmas. If everyone could post things they and their families need or would like that would help with the Christmas shopping. And that way we don't have to keep calling or ask in person, and you can keep adding things to it...more fun don't you think?

So, please, please, pretty please, post your lists soon!!!

Dentist

I finally did it. I got a dentist frustrated enough that he admitted that almost no matter what I do, I probably would have problems with my teeth. I had my root canals done yesterday. Holy cow. You would almost have better luck prospecting for gold in mom's and dads backyard. He could barely get to the teeth. As it was he had to use every trick at his disposal short of dislocating my jaw or putting me out to get it done.

Even better was as we were cleaning up so I could go...you know cause after three hours in a dental chair, everyone wants out...he tells me,"Don't be surprised if you are in pain for the next few days, and you will probably be that way for at least a week or two." Oh, goodie...You know when they offer to numb you up so you can just leave the office, that it is going to be a bad one.

Join the fun

Okay all. I reissued the invite to everyone to come write on the blog. Thanks to those who have participated thus far.

Peaches

Well tonight, Aaron and AJ got their first taste of real baby food...something other than rice cereal, anyway. They had peaches. AJ loved it and couldn't get enough. Aaron on the other hand, wasn't very impressed. It was cute to watch them pull all of the faces!

Dr's Visit

Well we had a semi long day. Raiden got his stitches out. It has healed very nicely. Judge went in because he has had a chronic cough for the past month. They think it is a type of asthma that children can get. Hopefully it is, so he can and does grow out of it. And the funnest part, our water heater sprung a leak. So we had the plumbers here today until about seven. Not so bad when you look at it written down I guess.

And the biggest news, Raiden has his very first parent teacher conference tomorrow. It ought to be very interesting.

Happy Halloween!

Our first Halloween was a blast! The boys looked so darn cute, and we were the talk of the town at Adam's School Parade. Here are the pictures of our little cows and their farmers.

Life At College


Things at school have definietly been different. Between having classes that dont make sense to going to the local elementary school to help teach sixth graders. My math class is for sure the hardest thing in the world. I dont care for math that much to begin with, but it is a requirement for the field that I am going into. You know that your life is sad when your excitement for the day is when you go to the mailbox. It is even more depressing when there is nothing there. Well that doesnt mean to send me any of your bills. Food however is always accepted. Even though I am well fed by Tiffani. You could say that Tiffani is my new best friend. She cant cook alot but I am in the process of teaching her all the things that we have eaten at home for years. She also has a cooking apartment and I dont. That is another plus. All is going well here. If anyone wants to send me a package my address is 451 E 400 N PMB 5301 Price Utah 84501. Thanks for everything FAM....

Tricks N Treats and Stitches too!





Heya everyone! I thought I would post the first official participant post. I thought I would put my photos on here instead of on the family newsletter and see how it went. As you will see the kids had a fun time for Halloween. I also put on, at Raiden's insistence, proof of his war wound and how brave he is. As you can tell, Raiden was a Ninja Turtle (no masks at school so the green hair and red face paint), Judge was an uncooperative dragon, and Ender was Simba (so says Judge).

Welcom Y'all

Hello everyone!

I thought it might be nice to have a family blog. This way we can post tidbits or talk about things in general without having to catch each other on the phone. It is a fun way to discuss things near and dear to our hearts or just frivolous and fun. I hope you can all enjoy this family time together, and that we will hopefully grow closer together. Enjoy and participate, or at least read and laugh at some of our comments and conclusions.

If you have trouble getting on to participate contact Misty or Hallie. We should be able to help you out.

Love you all and can't wait to start blogging!!!
