View of our week.......

No pictures this time, I guess I need to get on the stick.. Our week started with a Thanksgiving dinner for the singles. There were around 60 people there. It turned out really good, but boy were we tired. Both of us are thankful we don't have to do another dinner this week.

Life throws fast balls at each of us, Fri. one came to us. We had spent a lot of days at the Primary Childrens Hospital with Marcus and Amanda. On Friday Marcus had a MRI and we almost lost him. They had to put him to sleep and he stopped breathing. We hurried up to the hospital to find him in the ICU. It was scary. On Sat. he was back on the regular floor. He is a fighter. Why the Lord keeps him here I don't know, but it must be for a reason.

Since things had calmed down we decided to take a break and go to Tori and Russ's. Normally it is freezing cold up there but it was beautiful the whole time we were there. We had a lot of fun with the kids. Shireen and Brook were so excited to show us thier club house that they were being a pain, so off we went through the horse poop and the weeds to the far cornor of the field. There were a bunch of trees growing together and in the summer I am sure it was all enclosed in , but with all the leaves gone it was wide open. They had done a good job of fixing it up. They had a shelf for their stuff. They showed us where the doors were and the wood piece they stepped on to open the doors. The thing that was the most interesting was a log that was a funny shape, with a hole on one end. Both girls informed us that the log was where Ayden peed, not only on the log but right in the little hole. All I can say is he has good aim.

After a week with a lot of ups and downs visiting with family was the perfect ending. We love our family and are Thankful that our Heavenly Father let us have them for our short time on this earth.

Our week in 30 seconds......

Well another week has gone by. On Tuesday we worked at the polls from 6 in the morning to 10:30 at night. The election was called just as we were going home. This is a funny process we have here in America. We have had some snow, but mostly rain. Our biggest excitment of the week is that Crosby came to visit us. He went to church with us and I was about to shoot him and Alden. I had to set between them. I went shopping with him at the mall all day Monday. I told him that he was like Joddy and Emily, he didn't like that. He isn't quite as bad, but almost. He did go into a scrapbook store with me. He stayed with me the whole time. He left on Tuesday to go to Kaysville to visit friends (all girls). We sure enjoyed him. We love it when any of our family comes to visit...

Clowning Around


Well here we are, believe it or not..... We were working in one of booths at the ward Holloween party and decided that we had to dress up. Haylee did the makeup. Sad thing was the kids looked at us funny. I think they were a little scared. All it took was Al acting up and soon we had a whole bunch with us. One little kid looked at us and told he would come back later, "we are going to be here for 3 years. We had a lot of fun. It keeps us young in mind, our bodies are another thing.
