31 weeks and counting down

Tonight I am up with heartburn again. This makes something close to five nights in a row that I have sat up until about 3am waiting for it to subside enough for me to get some sleep. I think I have called the nurse at least 8 times about my heartburn and they just have totally worthless things to say. It has let me catch up on tv and movies but has made me a pretty cranky mom for Daniel. Tonight I am watching "Sabrina," the Harrison Ford version, not the Audrey Hepburn. It screams of early 1990s horrible clothing styles. I can't remember the last time I watched it but it is pretty funny.

Today in primary during sharing time in junior primary, Sister Edwards was asking the kids about different pictures and what priesthood ordinance was being performed in each of the pictures. She held up the picture of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus and asked what was going on. Someone answered that Jesus was being baptized and she asked by whom and one of the CTR 5s shouted "John the guy!" They have such enthusiasm and are so funny to watch. The sunbeams were full of energy as well this morning. We have tons of little girl sunbeams and thank goodness they all wear tights! I think they would have been much more happy jumping all around the room instead of having a lot of adults telling them to sit still and be reverent.

Daniel also has had some funny moments lately. He has started to really enjoy saying his own prayers. Last night Jason was helping him say what he was thankful for and he said unprompted that he was thankful for mom! I was so excited. It amazes me how fast kids learn and how quick they grow up.

Yeah for nearing the end of your pregnancy! Soon you will be done and I will be nothing but jealous ;) Sorry about the heart burn - that stinks. My hips have started aching at night and it is affecting my already horrible sleep. 4 months to go - BOOOO! It was good to see you the other day - thanks for stopping by. Anna loves to carry the card around and tell everyone 'Daniel bring Anna a carda. So nice!' Too bad she wasn't nice to him while he was here - sorry bout that!

Whale Watching in San Francisco

My sister and her family came all the way from Idaho to visit us. Naturally we had to take them to the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a typical July day, foggy, freezing, windy and crowded. We battled people on bikes and with strollers and the wind to walk onto the bridge. We had just made it to the first tower when we noticed a whale watching tour boat and joked about how cool it would be if there was suddenly a whale that came out of the water. About ten seconds later, A WHALE CAME OUT OF THE WATER! It didn't ever do the complete National Geographic flip over or show it's tail, but there was a Humpback Whale feeding, and it kept coming up to eat. It was amazing. AMAZING. We spent almost 40 minutes watching the whale, possibly whales at the time. There was one in particular that came over, right below us the kids could all see it, and it was so close we could see the barnacles on the mouth, and it rolled and was putting on quite the show for us. It was an amazing sigh...

Marriages

I am combining the prompts from the 4th and 5th. They ask if you have marriage certificates and then stories about how the people met and later became married. I have found a few citations of marriage records but have seen very few, while I am grateful for the indexers who put the information out there I can't wait until they get around to attaching images. Although I guess I can always pay for the actual documents but who wants to do that? Regardless, this is one of my favorite stories. My grandma, LaVon Taysom, was the oldest of a lot of kids. When she was a teenager her parents sent her and two of her sisters to live with their grandparents (Hammers) in Pleasant View, UT. While there, they would attend the local dances and she eventually met Marshall Maycock. Now being proper, as they dated, her sisters went with them as chaperones. Eventually LaVon and Marshall decided to get married. She was only 17 so on their marriage certificate her birthday says 10 Jul 1908!! ...

The Power of One

I used to love Sundays. I was raised Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and we Mormons go to church for three hours every Sunday. It has never been a chore to me, I have always enjoyed it. My children on the other hand, don't love it, and every Sunday there is an epic battle in my home to get dressed for church. Half of them don't want to go and try to finagle their way out of attending, the other half don't mind going but hate wearing anything but active wear. Needless to say I have to now gear up for Sundays. Today was different, and all because of one child. This child. Alice got dressed today 25 minutes before our normal getting dressed time, without me asking, without me pleading, without me begging and bargaining, and because she got dressed Esther got dressed, and then Daniel and Charlie was the only one who tried to finagle staying home (which is his normal and always has been) yet he chose to wear a vest with his shirt and ...
