Hair

I guess you can see who she got her hair from.

Open House

This weekend we had an open house so friends and family could come see the finished product. (when I say finished, I don't mean completely...there are still some pictures to hang, curtains to make, etc. but this is as good as it gets for a while) It was a lot of fun! Thanks to those who made it.

I am a little behind in the blogging world. This is for my mom. Molly loved her new dress and we had so many compliments today about how cute she looked. Thanks!!

Last weekend we went to my cousins basketball game. She plays for the aggies. Molly had this hammy-down Utah State cheerleader outfit. She looked so cute in it. She wasn't too sure about Big Blue. We spent the whole weekend with my parents eating out, shopping and visiting.

This last photo is for Nick. Last Sunday Molly started coming down with something. She was a little grumpy when we went to church- (we had to give talks, so mom and dad watched her) but after church she got a fever that lasted until Thursday. Poor thing was so sick, but when I took her to the doctor they said it was just a virus. She did have a sore throat that they checked for strep but came back negative. Anyway, we had been up all night for about 3 nights in a row. Nick felt pretty helpless because when Molly is sick she wants mommy. So he bought us matching warm, fuzzy socks to hang out in. We love you Nick!

Forever Safe

A while back a sent out an email telling about a side job we are doing, but I thought I would also mention it on our blog. We are selling YUMMY freeze dried food. I highlight yummy because it really is good! Of all the people we have taken samples to everyone has loved the food. (can't say that about rice and beans)

We actually bought freeze dried food a while back before we found out about forever safe. We ended up spending about $150 more for the same amount of food. In other words, Forever Safe is less expensive than any other freeze dry food company. The food is great, they have about 15 different entrees, you just add water and they store for 25+ years. One thing I really like about them is that they come in small zip pouches (not cans) so you can just add water right to the pouch. We have had several people get them just for 72 hour kits or car kits. They would be great for camping trips or backpacking trips. They are nutritious and even kids like them. Shipping is free in Utah. If you are interested in finding out more, please call or email us. Also, spread the word.

These would make a great Christmas gift! Who wouldn't want easy food storage?!?

You can go to the following website to find out more. We can get you even better prices than on line, so once you know what you want, or if you want to try a free sample let us know.

Just for clarification: Forever Safe and the Wise Company have merged. That is why some of the info is from Forever Safe and other stuff says Wise Company.

Also, read a "testimonial" from my sister-in-law on the comment page

Crawling

Molly has been crawling for a while but I have never been able to catch her on camera. She did her belly flop crawl for about 2 months. Then she mixed the two together doing the regular crawl when she was just getting around and the belly flop crawl when she was trying to get to something fast. I finally caught a real crawl. Sorry it is sort of dark but I didn't want to stop recording for fear I couldn't get her to do it while the camera was rolling.

Happy Halloween!

As most of you did, we had a great Halloween. We went to a Halloween party that my 5 year old nephew planned in the morning. It included playing "Don't eat Frank," A pumpkin puppet show and pumpkin carving. We ate lunch and the boys went to the Hobby Shop while Jess and I hung out and the babies slept. When they got up we went trick-or-treating. Nick was a Ghostbuster and Dallin (my nephew) was a Ghost. Matthew was a duck and Molly was a pumpkin. Of corse we finished off the night by watching a scary movie. The Others. While we were watching the movie, Molly played with her candy for over an hour. She would put it in the bucket and take it out. Then put it in and take it out. She loved it!

This little Piggie got Swine Flu

It is true. Somehow this little piggie got out of Molly's hammy-down pajamas and the last 5 days we have been stuck home with swine flu. It started last Tuesday night when Molly woke up about 11 pm crying and I went to check on her. She was HOT! I brought her into Nick and he confirmed my suspicion. We took her temperature- 102.5 and then gave her Tylenol. She wouldn't go back to sleep, so we spent the next hour or so cuddling on the rocking chair. After several more times awake, a priesthood blessing and many prayers the sun came up and we called the doctor. After going in, the doctor diagnosed Molly with Swine flu. Not exactly sure where she picked it up but my suspicion is that she got it at her "well baby" check-up a few days prior. Anyway, we have spent the last week shut in trying not to infect the rest of the world. I started showing symptoms a few days later. I think we will stay in for a few more days. Molly doesn't have a fever anymore (and hasn't since last Wednesday) but still has a yucky cough and nose. I just have the nose stuff still. The good news is that it seems like a mild flu and we are slowly getting better. Here are some things we have done while stuck home.

Molly had suckers to keep the couch down a little. She loved it.

Curled Molly's hair for the first time.

Made a cute craft for her bows.

Read lots of books! (Molly loves to pull them all off the shelf)

Hung blinds in the house. Tried a new recipe. Hung out as a family. Watched several movies.

Happy Halloween!
