CARE FOR CURT

We're kicking off the fundraiser "Caring for Curt"! My father-in-law just recently went in for open heart surgery. He was having pain in his arm and chest and they couldn't find what was wrong. Through some further testing they were able to find what was wrong. 75% of his Main artery was blocked. If he wouldn't have gone in for surgery that very day he would have been dead in a few days. Because this came on somewhat suddenly the family wasn't prepared for the heavy burden of medical expenses. We wanted to work together to give back and Care for him like he has cared for so many of us.

WEDDING bells are ringing!!! and ringing!!! and ringing....

I didn't mean to fall of the edge of the planet. I've been REALLY busy with the wedding. For those of you who are coming or will be there tonight you will see why! I hope everyone enjoys themselves... especially Elizabeth and Clint. We put forth a lot of effort and thought and we hope everyone remembers this reception as a tribute to all our friends who we love and can't wait to celebrate with! Love you all...

See you tonight!

LEAH's almost WALKing...

FOOD we can grow it and we can cook it!

We were very proud of our crop of carrots this year! They are orange (instead of yellowish), nice and thick (they were a bit scronnie last year) and to top it off they were all nice size length! See for your self!

We also experimented with a real ITALIAN dinner, inspired by Rachel... It was good, but not as good as Rachel's dinner!

The MOUSE hunt begins!

So one night at my BEcome group one of my friends spots a mouse run into our pantry. Well, it just so happened that Carl was working or something, so Clint Came to the rescue! We proceed to move everything we can out of the pantry and even bring the dogs inside for the persuit of this disgusting little creature, and still no luck. The hunt persisted through the night... then we see it! It runs under the dishwasher! Oh great, now what are we going to do. So we go down to Carl's parents and get this trap that electrocutes them as they enter it. We waited for a couple days with the trap sitting, and then WE Catch it! Well what we thought as A mouse, ended up being a family of mice! I KNOW disgusting! We cleaned out the pantry, under the sink, dishwasher, fridge, and everywhere we could think of. Our grand total, are you ready for this... IT's gross! SEVEN mice! We think we've caught them all and have stopped where they are getting in. We had one little hole in the block where the plumber needed to get through and low and behold they found it... THANK goodness this is over... HOWEVER, we still have our traps set JUST IN CASE! poor little mouseies... (STAY OUT!)

Christmas party 2009

these are just a few snap shots from our christmas party...






They'll grow up to be the best of friends...

Anna is growing up so fast... She's already three... I just can't believe it. The other day I asked her what her uncle Ethan is doing on his mission. She responded saying, "He's protecting the mommandments to the people." I suppose the commandments protect the people!

Merry Chirstmas!

This is our Christmas Card this year. We've grown in number and our friends have too, and it's just too expensive to mail cards. Maybe if you're really lucky you'll get a handmade card in the mail. If not, it's not because we don't love you... We just can't afford the time to make that many... Merry Christmas and enjoy...

Kids say the darn'dest things...

LEAH is saying, "MA MA... MA MA..." and

"NA... NA..." it sounds so much like Anna!

She is such a big talker...

FUNNY STORY:

The other day we came home and there was a huge praying mantis on the door mat. I brought Anna's attention to it and she immediately took a few steps back. (It really was huge!) We watched it for a few seconds and then quickly called daddy over to help it resume it's position on the vine close to the door. As he did Anna preceeded to say, "Thank you daddy for moving sister mantis." We started cracking up... She called it "Sister Manits" all night.

I guess if you are "praying..." you must be a "sister _____..."

It's HaLLoWEeN Time OOooooo

Anna insisted on being a "FRIENDLY" ghost.... I asked her what she wanted LEah to be and she said "a friendly ghost" too! So they both were ghosts. In fact we were all ghosts... Even Carl let me paint his face... I'm afraid we don't have a picture with all four of us... But here are the girls!

DIRT cups... Made by ANNA

Anna made the family home evening treat for us... She enjoyed it thoroughly... See for yourself!

FALL is here!!!

Now that it is NOVEMBER (the middle of...) It's finally starting to cool off... Just the right temperature to be outside and embracing the weather. Thanks to mom and dad, we have a wonderful swingset...

AND we got Leah a baby swing that she LOVES! She wasn't so sure at first but now there is no giggles held back! So fun!

LETS Can some Pears

Daddy was such a big helper! He helped us can one whole box of pears.

It made about 6 quarts and 10 pints... It should be a nice supply for the winter! We love UTAH- produce... We wish we could grow the same yummy tasting fruit but that is impossible here in the Desert... Sigh...

Leah was such a good helper, and then we looked over, and she was OUT! SHe was so tired... I layed her down, no worries, I just had to capture the moment first....

Peek A BOO!

I thought most kids grow out of this game...

But not Anna... Where is she... Can you find her???

Peek A Boo! I was hiding!

Anna thinks she is so sneaky!

(look at the bandaids on her arm... She got her shots... such a tramatic event!, for Anna and mommy!)

"Let me feed Leah MOM"

I thought Rachel would get a kick out of this! Anna insisted on feeding Leah... It got everywhere. Down her outfit and all over her chair... But Anna DID IT!
