Charlie Bit Me!!!

Ok, this was too good to pass up. My visiting teachers came over the other day and brought there kids. No big deal, the do every month and we just go up in the toy room and let them play while we visit and have a little lesson. Well this month Seth has something he didn't want anyone to get, so he put it in a lunch box and when one of the kids (Charlie) came to see what it was Seth lifted it up over his head. Charlie didn't like that and he pulled on Seth for a bit and after a while of not getting what he wanted he decided to bite Seth on the chest. Immediatly Seth started to scream. I saw most of what happened, but not the bite. I felt so bad, especially since Seth had two heavy shirts on and the bite still left a pretty raw mark on his chest. Now just a side note, Charlie is two years old and doesn't know any better. Seth was very kind hearted and fogave him before they left.
The best part of it all was the Visiting Teaching Message for the month of September is "The Gospel of Jesus Christ Teaches The Eternal Potential of the Children of God." We had just finished talking about motherhood and how rewarding it can be.

Summer Vacation

Yes, I know I am so far behind that this may seem silly but the pictures are so cute of the kids and the beach was beautiful. It was Isaac's first trip and he was pretty good considering he had a horrible diaper rash. We drove from Farmington, UT to Las Vegas and spent one night. Then on the Imperial Beach, CA. We spent seven fun filled days with almost all of Brian's family. There were about 25 of us in one beach house and it was a blast. Our days were spent boogie boarding, skim boarding, playing smash ball, horse shoes, swimming in the pool and building sand castles, (or digging to China) that is what Abby and Seth did since it was during the Olympics. I do have to admit the I spent more time inside than I usually do since I had a one month old baby, but Brian's mom, dad, and sister were very kind to help out so I could go out to the beach with the Seth and Abby and Bri. We had so much fun as usual, and look forward to next year. A big THANK YOU to Brian's parents who are so generous to rent the beach house for all of us to enjoy every year. They are AMAZING in so many ways. Love you guys

Days of 47...

We went down to the South Town Expo Center yesterday to see the floats with the kids. They had a great time looking at all the different creations. Our Stake has a float that will be in the parade on Thursday. Here are some pics of the event.

Ahhhh the magic of the thumb...

Isaac at a very young age has already found the magic that comes from sucking his thumb. We are in trouble!

Rubber Ducky your the one....

Isaacs first bath. Still doesn't quite like being in the water.

Seth getting ready...

Here is how Seth gets himself ready for church. He definitely has style.

He thought he would be cool and tuck his pants into his socks. I could not get him to let me untuck them until we walked into the building. In any case pretty funny to see his true colors come through.

Frieworks on the 4th

Who would have thought that having a baby could be so hectic. Well o.k., I guess I did but this time around has been a bit more than we planned on. Isaac is doing wonderful and I am now doing much better. On the 4th of July I got to take a little trip to the new IMC hospital. My blood pressure didn't go down with the birth of our baby, it decided to go up, a lot. Brian and I watched the fireworks from our hospital window and waited to see if all the medicine would bring my b.p. down and get rid of the terrible headache I had. Abby and Seth got to go with Grandma Dee and Grandpa Gary and do some of their own fireworks. After a few days I was doing better and able to go home, which was good for Abby and Seth (and the Grandparents). Brian had to stay with me and Isaac at the hospital since Isaac was not a patient. Thus we are so grateful for our wonderful parents and all of there support and help. So we are all home now and slowly getting back to our lives. I think that we would be happy to just have a nice boring 24th of July to make-up for the 4th of July.
