It is Official

Jenny is heavy with child! The baby will be due on Dec 28th. I bet he comes at Christmas. We don't know the sex but I believe he is a boy! Jenny is 13 weeks almost 14. It is going to be one crowded house!

Why the Toilets! Rated P, for... well you'll see why

Preface: Readers discretion is advised as there is discussion of adult content. In this post you will come across words that my not sit well with you. I have offered three options as follows: pooh, stinkies, bio waste. You are free to use which ever word you would like. There is more explanation below.

I am not sure why E. loves to play with all manner of disgusting materials. Mostly her “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes)! (Background, this is the word that my other brother in law Travis's family uses for pooh, because the word pooh is akin to some of the most vial language in the universe.) We have had many occasions where she has played in the toilet. I believe the attraction there is the water.

Last week while visiting my parents she managed to get in their room then their bathroom and finally you guessed it the toilet. Gross! My sister yells down the stairs, that E. is eating TP from the toilet. Did I say gross because I believe it bears repeating? I am getting light headed just thinking about it. A few days later we visiting my sister home where, she is actually feeding us more than rice or browned ground beef. (Family joke) We are eating and E. is playing with her cousin Capri, yes like the three quarter length pants that mostly women wear, sometimes metrosexuals and often hippies. Well back to my point. As... we are eating my brother in law takes Brinnley to the restroom. On his travels from the dining room to the restroom he stubbles upon some “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes) so we all jump up from dinner and head to the hall to solve the mystery of the rogue “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes). We all start to examine our children to find out how this “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes) has come to reside on the carpet. I start to examine E. and much to my relieve she is not the problem and with even greater joy I find that she has not tried to examine the “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes) with her hands. She did manage somehow to get some on her crocs. But with a little soap and water the “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes) was eradicated from the shoe. Capri is the culprit. My sister Jamie forgot to put a diaper back on her after changing her earlier in the day. This was due to the preparation of dinner and well shopping.

These are just two of the many nasty “stinkies” (pooh, bio wastes) incidents that we have endured, will yet in endure and hope to endure.

So You Think You Can Dance! Here we come

Caketastrophe

Here is how it went down. Yesterday I was helping a friend in our ward bake some cakes for a wedding cake she is decorating. I am watching TV waiting for Jenny to come home from scouts so I could frost the cakes. Suddenly I am aware that E. has gone missing and it's very quiet. I proceeded to hunt her down to see what mischief she has engaged in, it did not take me long to find out. I was in the area of the kitchen when I heard "yummy.... yummy.....yummy! I rounded the corner to find E. on the table enjoying some freshly baked chocolate cake. I wish I would have taken a photo of her on the table consuming the cake.

Who likes the camera now?

So I have been trying to get this slideshow on here without first having to click on the link below to view it, but no such luck. Sorry you just have to do the extra step. If anyone has any pointers on how I can skip this unnecessary step for future posts I would love the help. This is a slideshow of Elizabeth in my friends', Jeanne Lawyer, yard for her 18mo pictures. Jeanne is also the photographer and you can see more of her work on her website jeannelawyerphotography.com if you are interested. E has turned into quite the photogenic girl. Enjoy!

Update. It about $%#@ time!

Alright Liz I know we are huge slackers! But school is out and I now have a little time to update our blog.

First and foremost Jenny is doing well she is a great mother and keeps Elizabeth out of my hair when I need to study. I always knew should be a great mother. She had plenty of training from her older siblings children. She keeps the house clean as much as you can with a 19 monther walking around behind you and destroying everything you have cleaned or folded. She is always at task for her church calling she has 2, scouting (Yuk) and visiting teaching coordinate and she is way better at doing her visiting teaching than I am at my home teaching.

As for me, School is out and I don't know what to do with myself. I will commence with a job search shortly and that is always fun. I need a job for the summer. This semester was a wild ride. We had some up and downs but all in all I manger to accomplish all. There were a few times I thought I was going to have to go my backup plan, plus sized male modeling. After nursing that sounded like the second most masculine profession i could get into. Let be honest look at this face it screams money maker. Do they just have head models, just a question?

The summer adventures being, I am sure Jenny will get up to UT as much as possible this summer. Maybe I can make it also and that is all I have to say about that! (as always please for give spelling and grammar error as English is my second language after DUH!)
