An interesting week!

Grace was being a pain one day while I was getting lunch ready, so, I put her in the sink!

Grace likes her daddy's hat, when she sees it she picks it up and says 'hat' and puts it on!

Well, this has been an interesting week. First, Grant started school! It has been good for me, I don't get anything done when he is around and my schedule gets thrown out of wack! Grace and I get along better (schedule-ly speaking) with him at school, and my house stays cleaner! Second, Monday night (you may have seen it on the news?) a field up in the Boise foothills caught fire and with the wind we've been having it engulfed 10 houses completely, like to the ground, like nothing left, disintegrated, everything! And damaged 9 more with about 10 more with smoke damage etc. This all happened in about 1/2 hour. The wind was about 50 miles and hour and just jumped from home to home and some barely had time to get out before their house was gone. I couldn't believe it! Makes you wonder what is coming next in these last days, crazy weather, disasters, disease etc.
Third, Grace's weird bowel problem has departed. I haven't written anything about it but she had diarrhea for about 2 1/2 weeks. Finally the doctor told us to take her off of milk for a while and see if that helped, it did! Now we only go through 4 diapers a day instead of 10!!
Fourth, last Sunday Grant stayed home with Grace and I got to go to the broadcast for the Twin Falls Temple Dedication. I loved it! Grant got lots of brownie points for that one! Did anyone else get to go? I guess you all live too far away to care very much about Twin Falls. Just to sit in the chapel and feel the spirit. I am so grateful for temples, without them, I would be one depressed person! I already go crazy thinking Grace or Grant are going to get some weird disease or die in a car crash, let alone not know whether I'd ever see them again! But, I know I will so let anything happen that happens!
Pregnancy is going well, I'm getting more energy (darned first trimester!) and don't have to use the bathroom as often! But, I still eat constantly! Have a great week!

We are still here

This is the newest addition to our family!!!!! We are three months along and so happy! (Although the more I remember of when Grace was a newborn, I get a little bit scared!) In the second picture the doctor zoomed in a little and told us he had suspicions that we were going to have a boy, so we are calling him a boy, little brother etc. (He is better than It) We are due March 1, 2009. The timing is perfect the more I have thought of it. Next summer we are moving to Moscow and if he was any later I'd either have a brand newborn while trying to pack, or be 7-9 months pregnant! We are thanking our Heavenly Father for this timing :) After that news, the rest of the pictures are not as exciting, but, take a look anyway :)

I post the pictures of Grace eating spaghetti because I want to illustrate her cleanliness when it comes to eating. Some of you may remember back to her birthday and how she didn't even touch her cupcake so no wonderful pictures for us. Well, here is another example of how NOT messy she is :)

These two are of Grace loving her fish, Ernie, who has passed from this life. I will spare you the details but Grant had a funeral for him yesterday afternoon. Last night Grace and I went to her cousin's (on Grant's side) birthday party and upon hearing the news, her aunt donated 4 pineapple fish to our cause. They are very tiny, I don't know if you will even be able to see them in the picture. That is all for now!

Triathlon

Well, Grant did not come in dead last, in fact he came in 4th for his age group!! No pics though. I forgot our camera so our friends took one with theirs and she accidentally didn't take one, thought she had though. Anyway, he got 61st overall out of 200+ people so for not working out and assuming almost half were women, he didn't do too bad for not training. He has decided to do it again next year. Here is the home page of the triahlon if you want to see his times and whatever. http://emmetttri.com/






As for the U of I, we got accepted so after this year at BSU we will be moving to Moscow. We don't know if we'll move at the beginning of the summer or the end but we are excited!

Funny Grace

So we got these stickers for free and had no idea what to do with them until one night when Grace and I were bored. She left the ones on her forehead there all night long! It was like she either couldn't feel them, or didn't know where to reach, funny.
Another night I'm relaxing on the couch and I hear the clanging of pots and pans. Oh well, Grace always plays in my cupboards, I put stuff down there purposely so she can play with it. Anyway, I go into the kitchen to see what she is up to and find this, she looks like she wants to be cooked!




















And last but not least, her cute pig tails get an upgrade for church. (they lasted about 10 minutes, oh well!)














As for Grant and I, not much is new. Grant is running, biking, and swimming his sprint triathalon this weekend. He wanted to start a new hobby and thought this was an easier way to get his feet wet! He has had some back troubles though so he hasn't been able to work out a whole lot so we won't be surprised if he comes in dead last, as long as he finishes! :) I've taken on some more work babysitting for a family 6 nights a month. Not too much but it brings in a little extra money to save for when we move! After this year (if we get accepted) we are moving to Moscow for Grant to start the Architecture program up there at the U of I. We are excited!! It is a 5 year program though so keep our sanity in your prayers please :)
