Our Date Night!

Last weekend David and I went to Lagoon with some friends. It's an amusement park about 30 minutes from us. We had a great time. Trish watched the kids for us, so we could do whatever we wanted! It was nice to actually be able to ride the rides and do whatever we wanted without kids getting tired and ready to go home. The rides are pretty good. Nothing really compared to Silver Dollar City or Six Flags, but it was still way fun. It was the perfect temperature too. Next year we will have to take the kids. They have a really good size kid's area with rides that David would LOVE! So if anyone ever visits us next year, we can go let the kids wear themselves out there!! No pressure, but we are always up for some visitors!!:)

I can't believe it is already November. We have been in Utah for 1 full year. Some days it feels like we have been here FOREVER!!! But most days I can't believe we have been here a year already. I think it has helped that I've had a great husband that has sent me home to visit every 3 months just about!:) Although I don't know how good it was, because every time I come back to Utah I get a little (actually a lot!) home sick. I'm not saying I don't love visiting, but it does make it that much harder to come home and not be with all our family. I was having a really difficult couple of weeks in October and I kept trying to talk David into moving back. He would just shake his head and not really say much about it ever. Pam had even come up with some bribes to get us back, like dinner once a month at Hunans, brownies every week, baby-sitting, and a few other incentives! I was convinced we should move back until I went to the temple on a particularity bad day. I went to do initiatories, which usually you are in and out in less than 25 minutes. But when I got there, they told me it would be at least a 30 minute wait. I was fine with waiting though, because it gave me an excuse to have even more time to myself. While I was waiting I sat down and started reading the scriptures. I flipped open to 2 Nephi chapter 32, where it talked all about why do you question these things in your heart and you were given the gift of the Holy Ghost and are not using it to it's full extent. I started balling, because I knew we are supposed to be here in Utah still for some reason. I felt complete peace about it and I knew we were in fact supposed to stay here indefinitely. At the same time though I felt so sad. I had convinced myself that we were supposed to move, because I wasn't really looking for an answer. It really was an amazing experience that I will never forget. The Lord had the answer for me all along, but I didn't want that answer and tried to go around it somehow! I told David about this and he agreed that we should still be here, which I know he thought the whole time, but probably didn't want to make me mad!(Smart guy!) Anyways it has been a great year here in Utah, but we are loking forward to Christmas with the family this year!

My little Artist

Ever since David started going to his class once a week, he has really been into coloring and drawing. It's been really cute! He's getting pretty good too! This past Tuesday he did a monster at school and when he got home he wanted me to draw one, so I did, but he put his own touches on it. He did everything that is black. Then he called me over while he was drawing later and said, "M" sure enough he had drawn an "M" I was very impressed. It's amazing how quickly they learn. Today he was drawing balloons and the letter N. He blows me away sometimes! He really is a smart kid.

Crafty Weekend!!

So Marji was in town this past weekend and we had a great time!!(Of course not as much fun, if Pam would have been here!:)) We went to The Quilted Bear on Saturday and LOVED it! We even found our girl's Halloween costumes!! Some really cute tutus, but we made them ourselves and had a great time doing it. I also made some signs for David and Maggie! It was a great weekend!

Every 2 Weeks

So it has become a habit of little David's to have a need to go to the doctor every single 2-3 weeks. Our last visit was on August 4, when the doctor said that he most likely had sinuses and that he wasn't going to prescribe him anything to see for sure if it was a virus or in fact sinuses. Then this morning was supposed to be his first day of school, which I was very excited about, but he woke up and started throwing up and his asthma kicked in too. So I called the doctor and told them he was wheezing and they said to bring him in right away. I took him and Maggie in and they did the pulsar thing and saw that he was having quite a hard time breathing so they started giving him a breathing treatment, which he always hates and I went into explaining his whole life history of sickness. Then on the way home he threw up again for the 6th time today in the car though, luckily I was prepared and brought a trash can and towel, but he missed and got most of it on the seat. Oh well!! So now my poor little boy is finally sleeping (I had to wake him up again to take him to the doctor:() and we will have to give him a breathing treatment everyday for the next 3 months until we have another check up and they can tell us what to do next. So it's not too bad to have to give him a treatment everyday, but he still hates it and balls the whole time. It will also be interesting next month in Arkansas, because he had a pretty bad attack last time we were there. But I can't wait to be there!! And we will start him on Zyrtec this time before we go out, which should help. Anyways sorry to go on and on about my little man, but dang he definitely keeps me on my toes! Along with his sidekick Mags! They do make me laugh a lot though, thank goodness!!

I have a Memory!

This is fun!

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses.

If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :)

Finally!!

So for all of you that have been complaining that I don't have a "blog" here you go! I'm still going to keep my other website, but this one will be fun to do all the little games and things on. So I hope y'all enjoy it! And just so you know you can make comments on our other one, so feel free to make your comments. We love to hear what you think about our cute kids!!
