Too cute not to post

Eat your way out of this one




So Cole is getting even more teeth. Cutting new teeth while being sick with a cough and cold (which as of a few days ago is gone) is not fun to say the least. Now Cole thinks that when he wants to get out of his crib....he'll just eat his way out.

Sick kids

It's been a hard few days. We've been under quarantine at our house---both kids got a yucky cough and in order to protect the general public fom getting it--we have been hibernating in the house. I think I possible might go completely crazy. Not to mention, I started feeling a little under the weather today myself. Great. We'll come out when it's safe.

Four Interesting facts about me
*I am a list maker and I like to cross things off when they're done. Sometimes if I did something partaining to the list that I forgot to write down, I write it down and cross it off.
*I went to BYU thinking I would graduate and then marry around age 24 and that those girls who got married at 18 didn't know what they were doing. I got married at 19 and had to take a year off before I went back to graduate.
*Dan always knows when I've passed gas even when it's silent, not because of the smell (not always anyway), it's because my gas I swear is made of the chemicals in laughing gas so when I let it out, it is immediately followed by uncontrollable giggling before anyone would have a clue.
*I thought I'd be really good at being a mother and that I would in a way "conquer" the feat easily. I was wrong-way wrong. It's way harder than I thought and it's a work in progress.

4 Favorite TV Shows
*Prison Break
*LOST
*House
*Heroes

7 Weird/Random things

So Lauren tagged me and it took me a week to think of 7 things but here goes...
1. I am extremely particular with my food. I like my eggs over easy but they have to be cooked just right....runny in the middle but not too runny. I won't eat them unless it is on top of a lightly buttered piece of toast so when I bite into it, the yolk oozes onto my plate and I can scoop it up with the other parts of the egg and toast when I've eaten all the yolk.
2. I also don't like warmed jam on toast-I prefer it cold.
3. I hate the word pheasant and I lived on a street with that name in Utah and when we were buying here, we saw that street name 2 streets away from our current street and I was like--I'm not buying a house on that street!!
4. When I go to bed I shift and move for at least 30 seconds trying to find the perfect spot. Dan gets in bed and is completely still and falls asleep while I keep bouncing around in bed trying to get comfortable.
5. I can't stand it when the light is red and someone is in the right lane going straight when it is also a right turn lane and I can't turn right. I hate that.
6. Dan used to accuse all bad drivers of being Asian and I would yell at him everytime that he was being racist. So I typed out a chart for the car where I marked male or female, Caucasian, African American, Asian, and Hispanic (and other) and then I tallied who it was that made a bad driving maneuver. Facts don't lie. I don't accuse Dan of being racist anymore.
7. I had NO friends in 7th grade and would sit at the lunch bench all by myself and mope that I was a loner...which I was. But now I have lots of friends and that makes me happy.
I know--totally lame. I might be editing one or two when I discover I really am not so boring after all.

I tag.....Kacy, Chelsea, Michelle,Jen Taylor, Brittany, and Cristina, and Jody

Happy Halloween!

It's crazy to think that last year Allison was so little and hardly had any hair as little tinkerbell and this year she's such a big girl and she has a new little tag-a-long. She was going to be Snow White until, of course, last minute, she decided to be "Barbie." It's pretty much a pink princess dress that has a little barbie pendant on it. Hey it works.....maybe next year when she can be consistent in her decisions, she can tell me what she wants to be and I'll actually make her costume like my mom always did. Or then again, maybe I'll continue buying costumes after Halloween real cheap for next year :)


Here's our pumpkin....too bad Holly wasn't around --they could have been twins!


Here's Allison in good hands---I guess Allison is a little animal so it was good to have two veterinarians around just in case.


Could Drew be any cuter?? He was a little pilot and that cool jacket was a gift from his poppa.


There is one house that scared Allison just a little too much and she left it runnin!


Cole was entertained watching the kids run around in the dark all night. He was a trooper!


And of course, the cousins Halloween picture for 2007. Happy Halloween!

I'm in for it
