We are Moving!

It's finally official, we are moving on November 5th. We have been living in John and Darcia's home for the past two years (Thank You). It has been a blessing for us, my boys love fruit because of this place and I will greatly miss the fruit trees, grapes, strawberries and raspberries we were able to harvest every year.
We will be moving to Lindon in a small 2 bedroom basement apartment. I will be babysitting for a great family a couple days a week and for payment we will live there rent and utilities free!
This means that Jed will be quitting work at the end of this year and will attend school full-time to get his bachelor degree! It will be a crazy and different year but will be worth it once he's finished.

New Title

Jed convinced me enough to change the title, so we chose the names Reid says...

William Looks More Like...

Reid Looks More Like...

My MeMe

Melissa tagged me a couple days ago and now I finally have a little bit before my boys wake up (it's sooo quiet and peaceful right now!) Anyway, here are a few things about me that maybe you don't already know...(what's that i hear...the faint cry of a baby? no rest for the weary i suppose). Now with a baby on my lap I shall continue...

1. I love kids and honestly, the more kids the better. It's easier if there are a lot, they just play with each other. I'm not saying I want 10 kids of my own, it's quite different when they are somebody else's!

2. I am a texture person. I love lasagna because of the texture of the different layers. I do not like peas or soggy bread because of the texture of the squishiness. I met a psychologist once (my aunt's brother) and told him. He said that it means a lot (and it didn't sound good) but he never told me what it meant. I'll have to ask him next time I see him.

(Reid's up also now. My rest is over. I was able to soak in the bath -i needed it- and then take a shower and check out every bodies blog before they woke up, but a little longer would have been nicer).

3. I can be sortof controlling. I like certain things done specific ways and it's just easier for me to do it rather than to explain it. (Like instead of telling Jed where to find something I just get it for him, just easier)

4. I pick up on things (mannerisms, slang words other people may say) easily. It just happens. If I'm around someone long enough and they have a distinct mannerism, pretty soon I'll be doing just that. it's not that I want to copy them, it just subconsciously happens.

5. I absolutely think naked butts are the ugliest things in the world. It doesn't matter who's it is (even mine), where I see it or what it's doing. It is and will always be UGLY.

6. I have a recent obsession for blogging. I am literally on here every day checking out everyone's blog. And if you haven't updated yours in a long time it drives me crazy!

7. I love to watch my boys play together. William is growing up so fast (mentally-physically, he's slowly getting there but i'm not worried). He loves to check things out and do what his older brother is doing. Unfortunately reid is faster and gets away from him quickly at times. yet there are those times when Reid enjoys making William laugh and will do it over and over again. (Ok so i needed to fill in a space, but it's somewhat about me!)

8. I do enjoy an occasional book, preferably the LDS, mystery/romance novels (mostly mystery please). However, I haven't read one for quite some time now because if I do, NOTHING gets done in the house. Once I get going I am hooked and cannot stop. They always leave you hanging at the end of the chapter and I have no self control to stop reading, do some dishes and then get back to it. Nope, I figure if I keep going I'll be done sooner and THEN I can get things done.

Ok there's 8 things. I wanted to add some pictures but now that both boys are awake I am unable to. However, I will pass this tag on to Alta, Celeste, Tom (or Laura), Emily Shaw, Janelle and Jessica.
Happy blogging!!!

Children are so precious

Tonight I was putting Reid to bed and I turned off the light and he slowly looked around the room (noticing the shadows the night light was making). He said with a scared voice..."Scaries". I told him we'll say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to keep him safe and make sure there were no scaries. We did and the second I said Amen, he jumped up, looked around and said excitedly, "No scaries!" Then Jed went down to say goodnight and when he came back up he said, "Mommy pray, no scaries!" Reid is so cute!

I think Reid had enough

For those who didn't see this picture on Melissa and Leif's blog, I thought I'd share it with you. This is the last day of our camping trip, I think Reid was ready to be done.

Quiz Time Answer

They are in fact...Purple Potatoes!!! There is such thing as purple potatoes and they are purple inside. They can look a little scary in the fridge when you don't know what they are, but they are tasty!!!

We LOVE Leif, Melissa and Gavin!!!!!

There was so much to write I figured I'd put it on as a blog...This is for Leif and Melissa and Gavin-in reply to their comment about this weekend. (De and Kat are in town-Alta, Michael, Ane, Sam, Mom and Dad all came out also to visit and watch Conference).

Michael said he would make out with Leif. And Alta will also with a blindfold on...De and Kat say HAHAHAHA...Sam doesn't have anything to say...Jed said he will pay you (for last night)...Leona says we miss you guys and we hope to see you again soon.

Don't worry, you didn't miss out on much...just how Michael and Alta do laundry :), ROCK! Sweet game-and Ping Pong/Paintball!!! Oh and Halo 3 and chick flicks. (Michael owns Sam on Halo 3). De got you (Leif) a Drug (Viagra) pen (and possibly a special surprise) and will mail it to you soon.

We do love you guys and miss you and hope to have another fun party with you guys here!!!

Silly Reid

Jed told me I had to do this right now before I forget, yes I know what time it is and no Reid isn't still up...(he did it awhile ago)...not to say he couldn't stay up this late. Anyway, on to the story...

Reid's pants were sagging, showing off his underwear (yes we're potty training him). I told him his pants were falling off. Jed told him to say..."That's how I roll." After a short pause, Reid looks at me with a defiant look on his face and while pointing says, "How I roll Mama!"

Oh the things my husband teaches my boys!

New Quiz Time!

Alright that first one was easy. Yes it was a tooth, William's 3rd tooth. And it was a little difficult to take, but I also zoomed it in. Anyway, try this one. Take a guess of what it is. For those who already know what it is because we showed you, don't tell! (Alta and Mom). Hint: It's purple and something you eat. Good luck!

Halo 3/Super Saturday/General Relief Society Meeting

Last Friday night, Alta Michael, Jeff, and Sam, Matt and Chase came down and visited. Mainly because Jed got the new Halo 3 game and they all played! Alta watched my boys so I was able to go to Super Saturday, I had a lot of projects. Here's some of them. They'll be for the boys room!

Then that night Alta and I went to the conference. It was great. For those who weren't able to attend you can go to lds.org and they have audio and typed copies for all. My favorite quote was by William Wallace (Thomas S. Monson quotes it in his talk)..."The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world!!!"
On a side note...congrats to Matt Burton on his mission call! He's going to Guatemala!
