I take one grocery trip a week. Last week we started wearing mask at the grocery store. Today I announced at dinner, "It's possible I'm depressed." Man I feel for my kids. There are thing I love about this time. I've enjoyed spending more time with the kids that isn't filled with rushing places. We play more games, have more time for reading, and do way more projects and crafts. It has been nice to see some places I can help them with school work. Home church is actually short and surprisingly sweet. My youngest loves not going to preschool and having all his older sibings home. I love not rushing to dance, soccer, all the extras after school. My two oldest are bindge watching Parks and Rec with me. We laugh so hard. I've gotten to talk to my siblings far more often then normal. These are the things I will cherish from this time. Things I miss. Hugging people. I'm not even a hugger but I miss it. Even Dr J and I rarely hug now and we never kiss. We are just trying to minimize exposures. I miss seeing friends. I miss eating out at restaurants and going to movies. I miss date night. I miss not feeling fear when my husband goes to work and having fear for the health of people. I miss not worrying about job loss, but that of my siblings and just the broader world in general. I miss vacations, appointments, the ability to make any type of real plans. I feel for the kids. They are all missing so much right now. In our house we've had tears over missed friends, performances, events. They are acutely aware of the pain the rest of the world is going through. Life goes on, but sometimes it feels like it will never be the same.Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-17282535710404949772019-08-20T06:02:00.000-07:002019-08-20T06:02:00.778-07:00The Power of NoI've been very protective of my time lately. As my kids get older I find that rather then having more of it, I seem to have less. Sunday this came to a head when our hometeacher asked at church if he could come over at 4:30. I said yes but in the back of my head was thinking this was not going to work well. My kids had been invited to a neighbor party until five and our house was a disaster. We got home from church and my middle kids headed over to the party. Meanwhile at home I was trying to get my older kids and husband to frantically help me clean while also stressing that I wasn't getting Sam over to the party. And then I just said, "Stop." I texted my hometeacher and told him we were busy at a neighbor party and couldn't meet. My older kids relaxed. My husband took a nap. I headed over to the party with Sam. The house never got clean but the day was stress free and enjoyable and it was totally worth it. No spiritual message would have been worth the stress I was putting on my family. Sometimes no is the right answer.Cryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-32854610538895678202018-12-18T04:47:00.001-08:002018-12-18T04:47:51.502-08:00Where's The ForkAll of my daughters have struggled with their speech, and two in particular have struggled with the letter R. Yesterday my youngest yelled out, "Where's the fork?" J, Captain E, and I immediately turned toward her. "What did she just say..." I mouthed to J and then we just start laughing hysterically as it dawns on all of us she was asking for a fork but what all of us over 14 heard was "What the F@#$." "You need to watch The Good Place," I squeak out between peels of laughter to J. We really need to get those R's in there quick :)Glendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452404148287263021noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-55015775624784431662018-07-17T15:12:00.002-07:002018-07-17T15:12:32.582-07:00Silhouette Studio<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the cool things they had at the Orem Colonial Fair was a Silhouette Studio. I'm a sucker for this type of memorabilia. The artist had each of my kids sit on the chair and then cut a silhouette for them. We did two pictures. One of the girls, one of the boys. It was fun to watch him do this. Apparently he also does this as Disneyland on Main Street every Saturday. So if you are looking for a cool collectible, look no further. I got a picture of him doing everyone but my youngest. I had to hold him and he did not want to cooperate. After he cut them he glued them down and framed them for us. I love them so much. Aunt Nik also got one.</div>

I love 4th of July. The last couple years J has tried to be off because he knows how much I enjoy it. There are parades and picnics to attend, fireworks and this year we went to a colonial fair. I think it is a perfect time to reflect on what this country should stand for. This year I actually started my day reading "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro," by Frederick Douglass. Sometimes you need a gut punch. The truth is that when this country was founded it wasn't founded for the majority of the people living in it. But you know what we learned, and slowly, oh so slowly we started to apply the principles on which the country was founded to all the citizens who live here. It hasn't be perfect and the truth is I've come to realize that it isn't something you can assume as a guarantee but it is definitely something worth striving for. So I remember this day with reverence, the reverence for those who sacrificed for Independence and the reverence for our my in staying true to the ideas of hope this country was founded on. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We like to go home to celebrate. It is fun to be around family and also truth be told the fireworks are just better in Utah. </div>

We started our day sorting out our entertainment for the night. Uncle Rob went to the parade but he had to be there at 5am and most of us just had zero interest in waking up that early. Instead we went to the colonial fair with Grandma and Grandpa. Here Cheetah and Grandpa are meeting Ben. A kid asked him what his real name is. "Benjamin Franklin." he said. I'm going to be honest I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he has legal changed it. Also I couldn't look at him without thinking about that saucy Ben Franklin in The Office. <br />

This year Peach did ballet, jazz, and tumbling. Tumbling was her favorite. She's been working on hear cartwheels, her back handstands, and her back flips. Cheetah did ballet. Next year is the first year her teacher will allow her to pick up another dance. I'm hoping jazz is on the right day. The show this year was Bambi. Peach was snowflakes and hunting dogs. Cheetah was a skunk. Just kidding. She was obviously a flower! </div>

I'm notoriously bad about keeping track of this stuff but these are the words Sugar Babt, aka Mr Squish, aka the original buddy uses.<br />
<br />
Mom, dad, Ezra, Grace, Sadie, Aylin, help, up, hey, hi, bye, Jason, buddy, dog, ball, my (in place of mine), no, yes, uh, uh, uh (with finger wagging), uh oh, goat, eyes, nose, ruff ruff, jesus, go, yeah. He also loves to do sound effects of cars going, guns shelling, and the hose squirting.

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Is it obvious I love all things Hamilton? Well I do. Recently, thanks to my mother in law, I had the opportunity to see the show in Utah. She and her bestie have season tickets to Eccles theater. When Hamilton announced it would be coming to the Eccles they found out they'd be allowed to get one extra ticket per season ticket before they were released to the public. Luckily my father and law and I were the beneficiaries of those tickets. I can't do anything halfway so I picked out a Hamilton inspired outfit for the show. </div>

We ate dinner at Brio. My mother in law was chatting up a double date in the elevator on the way out of the parking garage. She talks up everyone. They told us they were going to Hamilton. "Oh we are going to Hamilton," my mother in law told them. "We are going to dinner first," they said. "So are we," she said, "We are going to Brio." "Oh," the lady says, "Do you have reservations because we called them and they are booked out?" "Yes, we do," my mother in law said. And that pretty much ended the conversation because that lady had some serious jealousy going on. </div>

They made us go through scrutiny to get in at the Eccles. This is apparently new, maybe for this show only. They wanded us and went through every person's bag. That was no problem for me because all I had was my tickets, my license, and my debit card but a lot of people were taking a lot more time. Right after my father in law got through two ladies cut me in line. They had huge purses with them and security started going through them rigorously. "That can't go through, that can't go through, that can't go through." The lady basically had a small corner store in there in soda and snacks. She started tossing things out in the trash. "Oh great," I thought, the other ladies bag was just as big. Then all the sudden my father in law turns around and realizing I had't made it through booms, "Why aren't you over here, did those ladies cut the line?" Oh my goodness, the lady with security got out of there fast and the second lady disappeared back into the line and in 30 seconds I was through.<br />

At intermission Bob and I came out and took a picture in-front of this lovely sign. We also bought programs and I got a shirt for everyone but my youngest. He was too big for the baby onsies but way too small for the shirts. I figured it was the least I could do considering I dragged them on a 12 hour car trip so I could see this show.<br />

The show was amazing! The first ten minutes I struggled for a bit. I've listened to this show so often that I know every pause, every inflection. While the cast was extremely talented this was not the original cast and I'm not kidding when I say that I've pretty much memorized Lin Manuel. That first ten minutes every time Joseph Morales didn't match exactly I would cringe just a little and then about ten minutes in I just let it go, it was when the woman came out. After I relaxed it was pure bliss. Guys, this show is genius. The set and the costumes are so simple but what they do with them is just amazing. The chorus is so talented. The cast was amazing. Special shout out to Shoba Narayan and TaRea Campbell. They were incredible. Also Nik Walker and Marcus Choi, wow! Really everyone was amazing. By intermission I was enthralled and the second half I pretty much cried the entire time. This is such a great show and with a few tweaks (I'm thinking of you f-bombs) I could see this show being put on by any high school in America in ten years and it still being great. It really is a true gem! I'm so thankful for the opportunity I had to see it and only a small bit of regret that I didn't get to see the original cast.</div>

Two weeks later we returned to Utah because on the day of ticket release, the second they released I tried for tickets, and I got three. I was hoping for four but what can you do. So we returned again, this time so that Dr. J could take our two oldest girls. They loved it. The first thing J told me when he walked out was that Shoba Narayan has the voice of an angel. He is not exaggerating. We left for home right after the show and the girls spent a good hour telling me about their favorite parts. And oh yeah, I made them dresses to go to the show. I would have loved to see it again and I would have loved to see people's reactions to the dresses, J said people loved them, but I'm so glad three more people in my family got to see it. Also because their tickets were so high I made sure to send them with some opera glasses. They still had a great view but they loved having the glasses. It just made them feel even more in character. Thanks Lin Manuel for this masterpiece. </div>

We listen to one band in this house more than any other. It was the second concert J and I went to together. The first after he got his real job. They have some connection to our hometown and our kids love them. I mean like seriously love them. They play so much that even J knows most of their songs. They are not playing in our hometown on their latest tour but they were playing in our parents hometown. I noticed they were playing in around my birthday but when I finally decided that maybe we could go there were not tickets left, except on stub hub. I hate stub hub. With a passion. I hate them so much. Then I happened to notice that they had a few meet and greet tickets left. They were super pricey but they came with a pre-party, signed posters, a meet and greet and first sections seats. I asked J if that was a crazy thing to ask for for a birthday. He said yes. Then he said, "let's do it." So for my 37th birthday we went to see Imagine Dragons Evolve in Utah with meet and greet passes. It was AMAZING! Probably the best concert I've ever been too. J agrees. It was at an amphitheater and freezing...think mid october in Utah but the sound was SO GOOD!</div>

These first pics are all from the pre party. I'm going to be honest pre parties are a little silly. It was just this tent with some candy and chips and drinks. If were were alcohol drinkers I think pre parties would be more fun but we aren't so basically your just waiting in a tent. They did have some super cool stage stuff for you to check out. </div>

They had some drums from the Smoke and Mirror tour. There was this huge one with the mallets there. Everyone was just taking pictures with it and then some guy in a crazy tie dyed shirt walked up and picked up the mallets and hit it really hard and we all looked around like, great now they are going to kick us out :)<br />

So after like 20 minutes in the tent we left to buy some t-shirts for the kids. Then we came back and got into a big line so that we could do our meet and greet picture. So weirdly enough the girl standing with her hand on her face, that girl has been to see them 31 times. She is like a super fan. She's also done tons of meet and greets. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the girl with her head turned. She had made full out armor with the theme of the latest cd on it. It was pretty awesome. It was while I was standing in this line that I started to feel super sick. My tummy hurt a ton and I thought I was going to have diarrhea. So talk about awkward. So that is the feeling I had going into this. </div>

These meet and greets are so fast. You put your stuff down. Shake all the hands...well that is what we did, good grief we are so Mormon. Tell them how much your kids love them. Stand in the middle. Smile for a picture. Then you are done. It was crazy fast but cool. Would I spend the money to do it again. Probably not, unless I had the kids because I know it was this meet and greet that made me so sick feeling. As soon as we left I felt my stomach un-clench and by show time I was fine. The best part of the meet and greet tickets was this below, check out our seats. Had we picked the pit GA we could have been right by the stage because they let the meet and greet people in first but I'm an old lady so we picked seats and they were nice and close. What a great venue! J even let me take a bunch of selfies with him, which he totally hates. I mean just does not like, but he was in a good mood and so he was more selfie agreeable then normal. </div>

My brother and I have been binging figure skating like there is no tomorrow. We arguing via text about who we think is the better skater, yell at eachother not to give spoilers if one of us has had to pause, discuss best costumes and song choices, praise and complain about the commentator, and question couple skaters claimes about platonic relationships. It has been a real treat but yesterday is all came crashing down. For those watching the Olympics you know the usual strong Russian team has been brought low. There were allegations of dopping from the top down from 2012. Any Russians invited have been under the olympic flag and almost no one from 4 years ago has been allowed to return. One places where they shine bright though has been woman's figure skating. There were some other amazing skaters but they were all basically slogging it out for who got third. Meanwhile the two Russians were amazing. Up until this year it was obvious who woud win. Then a 15 year old trained by the same coaches jumped on the sceen and came out ahead in the short program. It made it impossible for me to watch the Long. My brother had to text me the results late last night. At four in the morning I settled in to watch the programs. The 15 year old won. Point wise she came out on top, but guys Medvedeva's program was golden. It was probably one of the best skates I've ever seen. It combined the physical you expect to see with the emotion and artistry you rarely see outside of ice dancing. I wish they could have in the very least shared Gold. As it is Medvedeva had to settle for silver, which is a real shame because she was brilliant.Glendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452404148287263021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-39071940921983234702018-02-11T16:18:00.003-08:002018-02-13T21:32:02.682-08:00How not to deliver test results.I'm going to start this post out by saying Dr. J is fine. There is nothing wrong with him. Good, now you won't have to worry about him at all. Let me tell you, you are the lucky one.<br />
<br />
J went to the dermatologist earlier this week. A few different members in our family have seen him and we get on rather well. Apparently he wanted to be a med/ped doc before he became a dermatologist. FYI his wife enjoys dermatology more because of all the free botox and procedures. Who wouldn't :) Anyway J has a few little weird moles. We keep on an eye on them but there was one on his temple that was making him a little nervous. The dermatologist agreed it looked a little iffy so they took a sample of it and sent it off. Thursday at like ten the dermatologist gives me a call on the my cell phone. "Hey," he says, "Is your hubby there?" I told him that he was sleeping. This week he did a slew of nights. "Oh," he says, "well I'm going to give you my cell phone number and when he wakes up can you have him give me a call so we can talk about his lab results."<br />
<br />
Now I'm going to interrupt this story right now to remind everyone I run pretty high on the anxiety front. The second he offers his personal cell phone and ask me to have J call him when he gets up to get his results I start to freak out a little bit. Why wouldn't he just tell him to call the office when he was off? Why wouldn't he just email them? Why wouldn't he just call his phone and leave a message? I've had to call in plenty of times to get perfectly normal results from the office but no one has ever offered me their personal number. They leave the office number and say to call in during office hours. Heck the fact that it was even the doctor that calls has me on high alert. Usually it is a nurse or an office person who calls. So I have to sit with this for six hours. Six hours I'm worried. Six hours I'm thinking good grief this is such a weird way to deliver news.<br />
<br />
Finally I hear the shower pop on upstairs. I take care of the dog, get the kids settled, grab the number and head upstairs. "Hey," I say my voice sort of catching in my throat, "the dermatologist called, he wants you to call him about your test results." At this point J goes, "It's cancer." Now mind you I haven't even mentioned yet that he left his personal cell phone for J to call. I start to cry. J gives me a hug and says, "It's ok. Don't worry. It will be fine." But I'm thinking, "Will it be?" I have friends and family who have fought cancer and won but I also have friends and family who have died and guys CANCER SUCKS! It is just the worst. It steals your loves ones. It takes their health, their happiness, they lose their vitality and they slowly just disappear from you. So I'm crying as I tell J that he left his personal cell phone number. "Well," he says, "I better call." So he calls and after just some general pleasantries the dermatologist says, "Yeah I just wanted to let you know your labs came back and they are benign. No cancer." I started to laugh but I'm not kidding at that moment I wanted to slap the dermatologist. So there you go. J doesn't have cancer. Our dermatologist is still a pretty cool guy but for crying out loud that was a lame way to share that news!<br />

It is 15 houses in three cul-de-sacs. Our next door neighbor is super nice. The guy across the street is super nice. There is a new family that just moved in on the other side. They seem super nice. The rest of our neighbors...not so nice. They weren't necessarily mean, more like just not present. We rarely saw them outside. They never talked to us and we were always a little bit suspicious over who got annoyed on how long it took us to clean up some junk left on our property by the previous owner and had the HOA send us a certified letter threatening to sue us. I think part of the problem is we live by a bunch of introverts. All the houses in our neighborhood have property and are mostly filled with people who want to keep to themselves. Part of the problem is we are just at different stages in life. We have kids and most of them are retired or nearing retirement. Their youngest children maybe just graduated from high school. A few of them have grandchildren our kids ages or older. Another problem is we are rarely outside on Sunday doing yard work. One Sunday when the kids were sick I mowed our lawn and realized the reason I never see any of our neighbors outside on Saturday is they all do yard work on Sunday. Adding all those things to the fact that we were always a little suspicious on who sent us that letter and we just had never talked to most of the people in our cul-de-sac. This year I'd sort of had it with this coldness. It just seemed a little ridiculous. So I made a ton of cinnamon rolls (Pioneer Woman because hers are the best!) and then I sent my kids to each house on the block and you know what, each house responded. A couple like the guy across the street had something ready, because he and I exchanged last year, and the new family next door came by with a cookie mix a few days before but two of our neighbors who I'd never ever talked to showed up on my doorstep on Christmas eve. <br />
<br />
The first couple came by with those lovely little square pretzels, hugs, and m&ms. I opened the door in PJ's because that is what we put on right after church. The guy starts out, "Hi, we've never spoken before," and the woman finished, "but we wanted to come by and wish you a Merry Christmas." They stayed for a few minutes chatting and then left. A few hours later we got another knock. The other neighbor who we have never talked to before either was standing there. They had a large Christmas plate loaded with brownies, snicker doodles, and candy. They were so warm and friendly. The next day they stopped by to chat with Dr. J while he was shoveling the driveway. It made me realize I'd probably contributed to the poor feelings in the neighborhood. I should have forced those people to like me earlier :) I'm planning on inviting everyone over for a BBQ when the weather warms up. I hope they all come. <br />

A few days ago we took the kids to an indoor arcade plus we have in town. Mr Squish was in heaven. This was his favorite game. It was Asteroids on a huge screen. You sat in this chair with a partner and shot at the alien ships. It was awesome...even I enjoyed it. He also loves the new PlayStation. He likes to grab a controllers and sit by his dad and push on the little knobs. He doesn't watch TV but he likes to think he is playing video games. It is a little scary. Does it worry me. Yes, yes it does. It drives his dad and brother a little nuts. Whenever they put the controllers up to charge he likes to go and grab them. They take them and put them back on the charger and he cries. Put that on repeat ten times. <br />
<br />
This morning he woke up at four. Dr, J got him out of bed and brought him to our bed. I nursed him and then he climbed out of bed. I dosed off for a second and then woke up again thinking, "Wait where did my baby go?" I got out of bed and looked in his sister's room, then his other sister's room, then his brother's room. I was convinced he'd gone in to play with Legos when no one was awake. He wasn't there. I started quietly calling his name as I walked down the stairs. I looked in the living room and then the office. No Mr. Squish. I looked in the kitchen and dinning room. He wasn't there. I was starting to think he wasn't downstairs after all when I heard a little squeak from the couch. I peaked over and found him sitting in the dark, staring at the TV, the remote in his hands. Apparently he thought he was going to play when no one was there to stop him. He just hasn't figured out how to turn the TV on and start the PlayStation. I'm sure that isn't long in coming.

I've been holding on to these for over a month because I didn't want to ruin the surprise of my Christmas card. I'd never thought about it really, but last year my brother made a very pointed comment about how difficult it is to get excited about a Christmas card with pictures he'd seen splashed all over Facebook and Instagram. I thought he was being totally annoying. I love Christmas cards, even if they are pictures I've seen a million times before but I took it to heart so I've saved these ones. I did post one of the kid's ones on Instagram so my father in law knew I had them and begged me to send him one. I finally did so now Mr. Squish will finally be on the grandkids wall. He is only 15 months old. It isn't my in-laws fault though. Last years pictures were such a fiasco that I still get mad talking about so they didn't get much play. <br />
<br />
This years pictures I'm much more pleased with. I benefited from last years lessons. I had two outfits for each kid to choose from (four for Gigi). So they all picked what they wanted. The negative on that is all my older kids picked blue shirts and there was less pink and teal then I'd intended but at least everyone was happy. I'm very pleased with all the shots. Excuse me my motherhood but my children are beautiful. The only bum deal, I don't love the photographer. This was my second time doing photos with her. She took some of a cake smash for Mr. Squish and she just never does a good job of putting me at ease. I miss Jessica. It is nice when you love the person taking your picture. Then you can one have fun, and two when things go to pot, like they always do when you are taking pics you know they will understand, and you trusted them to squeak out amazing. Thanks a lot Jess for giving me such high expectations :) I miss you!<br />

A couple weeks ago we had the opportunity to tour the Meridian Temple. It was a great opportunity. Normally only endowed members of the church who hold a current recommend are allowed to enter the temple but during the time before completion of the construction of a new temple and the dedication everyone is allowed to tour. Our kids loved the tour. The temple is truly beautiful inside. The wood work, tile, furniture, paintings, mirrors, everything is of the highest quality. The kids favorite places were the baptismal font on 12 oxen and the sealing room where members can be married. This week the temple is being dedicated and the kids will no longer be allowed to go but before that Captain E had the opportunity to participate in the cultutal celebration. It was the culmination of 9 weeks of practice. Their were dances and singing. E was part of the choir. I had to drop him off to be taken down to the performance at 5:30 in the morning. There were 5000 youth performing so there was no room for parents. We watched instead at the stake center. Remarkably I actually caught a glipse of him. There were so many youth I'm pretty sure not every parent can say that. It was a great experience. He never once complained about practising and had a great time performing.<br />

Cheetah's birth was still the hardest thing I've ever gone through, so I shouldn't have been shocked when last month during that birth survey I started crying talking about it. I now have a vibrant, enchanting 6 year old but that it hard to imagine when you are on bed rest, with ruptured membranes at 27 weeks. I knew early on there was a very good chance she would survive. I was in the hospital long enough to get steriods and babies born post 27 weeks have like an 80% survival rate, by the time she was born at 29 weeks it was 90%. She was still born though with a collapsed lung and need surfactant and cpap to get her going. Had she been born in Eldoret Kenya where we took her two years later she may not have made it. We were lucky she was born in the time and place she was. Earlier when I was thinking about it I was tempted to say blessed but if you believe in a God and believe he loves all of his children it almost seems cruel to me to claim that as a blessing while it is still an opportunity lacked by many. <br />

Years later when I was pregnant with Mr Squish my pregnancy was more closely monitored. It felt like an intrusion almost but it was also great luck to have people who cared so much and the technology to keep that pregnancy healthy.Glendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17452404148287263021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-90542458787081416082017-11-15T22:23:00.001-08:002017-11-15T22:23:38.230-08:00The Catch All<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have this desk counter in my kitchen that 90% of the time is covered in odds and ends. It is the bane if my house cleaning existance. The rest of the house can be immaculate (you know the one day a week Esperanza comes that one hour before the kids get home) but this space is normally just the worst. The problem is it is a catch all and clearing this one space takes a ton of effort. I started this morning and after covering my other counter trying to organize stuff to decidw where it went I just gave up.<br />

I saw the survey on empowered birth project a birth instagram site I follow. The survey was pretty easy and after I was asked to share my personal info if I was willing to talk with the researcher. She called me last week and it was a great experience. We talked for about an hour discussing birth experiences and things she's learned talking with OB and nursing staff. There are many times I'm grateful to be out of school and separated from Dr. Js school but I do miss academia occasionally.

We are in the process of updating our barn. It was probably put together with a kit but for whatever reason they never pur any siding over the OSB board. J bought the siding but first things first he wanted to replace this side door with an actual door. It was just a cutout with some hinges, a backstop, and a latch. It worked but it wasn't great. The OSB board was getting torn to shreds at the bottom, it was very narrow, it didn't lock, and worst of all it opened out. That doesn't seem like that big of a deal until you get two feet of snow and your sliding doors freezes shut and then it super sucks. So J bought a prehung door and today he replaced the OSB board and made a box for the door. We got it all the way hung before he had to head to work. I'm super excited to have a inward opening door this winter and to be a step closer to uodating the barn.<br />

Facebook is this weird time suck but it also gives you access to things you wouldn't normal see. Yesterday J's aunt posted a picture of his grandad from when he was in the navy. J's grandad wasn't much for talking or sharing and honestly there just aren't that many pictures of him and the ones there were he didn't display so this is the first time J had seen this picture. We scrutinised it for a bit trying to find the resemblance. Then I spent this evening checking over my kids to see if I could see him in them. Maybe a tiny bit but it seems like at least in their family grandmas genes were stronger.<br />

A kiss and a good wish to my father on Veteran's Day who started serving this country even before he was a citizen of it. He taught me the importance of order, clean shoes, and service to others. This picture was taken in Iraq during Iraq II.

When Grandma and Grandpa were here we took the kids to a Brazilian Grill. My oldest of course complained a ton about it, "Why can't we just go someplace normal." Turns out everyone loved this place. They bring you meat. They have cheese puff breads. There is a salad bar. What is not to love. We also went to the water park but because I refused to take my phone with me there are zero pictures. Thank goodness. J got me to go down one of the crazy slides. My eyes were so big he said it made his life. I did grab a couple pictures at Grandma and Grandpa's hotel pool. <br />

Before they moved Peach got to go to her best friend from Indiana's birthday party. We really will miss them. I hope someday we get to live in the same state again. <br />

Me and my mom. I ordered this shirt for myself. It was a 2xl. Um...not really. This thing was so tiny that my tiny mom fit it perfectly. My loss was her gain but I am super sad I missed out on the shirt. </div>

When Grandma and Grandpa were here for Peach's baptism they came a few days early and asked us to plan some activities. One morning we spent a couple hours at the reserve. They had a couple of little talks, you could visit the California condors, some other birds of prey, and play with some displays they had. The kids and I had recently watched a video on how the California Condor is being brought back at the Grand Canyon and how lead bullets were the main cause of there demise. Condors are some seriously ugly birds but I felt a little sad standing there looking at them thinking about how Zinke just this year is re-allowing lead bullets in the national parks. Seems like a really stupid rule to revoke. You could have satisfy hunters and kept the birds safe by asking them to use other bullets but whatever I've given up thinking this cabinet has to make sense. Anyway the kids had fun. They enjoyed seeing all the cool birds, the feathers, and pretending to be birds of prey themselves. <br />

This little hawk is known as a chicken hawk. Ironically it is too small to lift a chicken or a rabbit and mostly eats grasshoppers. </div>
