Well, at least we know he loves primary!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Me, Memories, Move to Utah
This morning Aiden happened to be the first one ready, the rest of us where almost there, but not quite yet.  Aiden used to have a running away problem, but with the blanket of snow, and a few scoldings he's been pretty good about it.  My Dad and one of my brothers left a little early for church for their callings, and we were rushing to finish getting ready when I heard the front door slam.  Sure enough Aiden had gone outside.  I was standing there barefoot at the door calling for him to come back, he took off.  Grr!  This does not a happy Mommy make.  I called to Kevin hoping he was more ready than me, and he was even worse off than me, and Joey was standing…

Bella and Edward in Utah

OK, maybe not all together, LOL! Wednesday morning Joseph, Aiden and Michael set out on our trip up to Utah.  We got on our first flight without too much stress (heaven bless whoever invented a good double stroller), and we sat down to get settled on our first flight (that's right, we had a layover) As soon as I was settled a Man came down the isle with a little girl and a wife with a baby girl.  As soon as they sat down the woman started hyperventilating and stressing about a flight with two kids...  Um yeah lady, I had to bite my tongue to not tell her to find 4 more kids, or add a kid and loose the husband, and then complain...  Soon after we took off the husband asked me why I'd fly alone with…

Our last date in Texas!

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Dreams, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures
So lastnight we were able to get out on the town one last time.  Last Christmas Kevin was drawn for a gift card for Trevesio's for $100!  Sweet deal! The first time Kevin gave me a tour of the Med center was right after they finished the water fountains there, and we walked up to the top and peeked into the restaurant and said "I hope we can eat here someday, that would be a lot of fun!"  He's had a couple work lunches there but they were more of a "here's a platter, pick what you like" format. Well being 9 months pregnant last Christmas, and me being miserable it just didn't happen while we had two kids.  Then with marathon nursing around the clock, and several other big…

The Primary Program

Aiden, Church, Michael
Aiden was the second part in the program, I think that was smart considering he's either the youngest or next to youngest in primary, and by far the rowdiest.  He got up, giggled and said "Herwoo!"  And then said "Just teasing!" and then said "I'ya Chil GOD!"  TWICE.  OH well, it could have been worse.  Kevin and I were both red and trying to stifle our giggles and embarrassment.  It's a good thing he didn't know were we were at that point or else he would have got a kick out of our response and been egged on.  Very embarrassing... Michael did pretty good, he said the first two lines of his part without any help then I think the stage fright set in, and he needed a little help,…

Halloween Costumes

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family, Family Fun, Games, Health Concerns, Holidays, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Move to Utah, Pictures, The end is near
In the spirit of blogging, and since I'm so picture obsessed, it's only fair, regardless of other circumstances, to share some Halloween snapshots.  Friday was the day we made our final decisions on the job and move, so it was a BIG day in many ways! We went to the ward "Trunk-or-treat," and had a great time. Michael was our "Soccer 'ball' Player"  I got the outfit at the AF DI, on our trip last month, and hoped he'd latch onto the "basketball player" idea, he didn't, after three weeks of 5 different ideas a week, we went to Traders Village, and ran across some soccer balls, he decided he wanted to be a "Soccer 'ball' Player" (the "ball" addition all his own), but when it came down to time…

Utah Trip Update

Aiden, Baby Joey, Church, Family Fun, Health Concerns, Kevin, Kevin and I, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Vacation
So, in case that didn't make any sense, I had 5 teeth majority worked on here. Two root canals, and a tooth pulled on Wednesday with a bone graft for a future implant. On Thursday I went back for two more root canals, but once they'd cleared the decay, we realized there wasn't enough left the save the teeth. So those two were pulled as well and I got bone grafts there too. So yeah. I'm in less pain now than before, but still plenty of pain. So, on Tuesday we flew in. We got in at noon and ran to temple square and to get some supplies for my family. By 4 we picked up Nate. That was wonderful! Everyone was filled with joy and excitement to all be…
