Another reason I am terrified if I'm having a boy...


Boys typically have rough toys.

We were at Brad's office entertaining ourselves with a little toy workbench that you pound down the "nails" and I got pounded with the mallet thanks to Amelia. Ponies don't hurt like that. Neither do Barbies. Princess Dress up Clothes maybe. So check out the mini-shiner I am sporting.

Oh heather - as the mother of two VERY ACTIVE little boys - i can only tell you that a mallet hitting you in the eye is SO MINOR in comparision to what happens on a daily basis with boys. I will extend to you the wisdom that having sisters will definately temper any boy - so have heart. If you could only see the state my house is in - it was brand stinkin' new 3 1/2 years ago and I'm having to redo pratically the whole thing to get it ready for a resale. Oh, those boys, those boys...

Curious to know when exactly we find out if you're expecting a man child or not - I'm thinking it must be soon right?. . .

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
