The Baby has Turned

So today I went to the doctor and we discovered that the baby has turned and is now sitting with her head down. It kind of made me really realize that the baby is probably going to be born before too long. Also I don't think we are going to be moving out of our apartment before the baby is born so Daniel and I sat in his room for a long time trying to decide how to fit a toddler bed, a book shelf, a changing table, crib and dresser into one small 10x10 room. Daniel did emphatically tell me it was his room so I can't wait to see what happens when the baby moves in.

The doctor did inform me that no matter what I did there probably wasn't anything I could do to stop the absurd swelling that seems to plague me. I just hope that the swelling doesn't get as bad as it did with Daniel.

Speaking of Daniel. Since it has been warmer I let him play out on the balcony. He was so excited. He has been finding dead wasps in various places and he'll come running in to tell me "bug, bug, bug! Need to sweep it up." Then we sweep them up and throw them over the side of the balcony onto the ground. He thinks it is really funny. I am just glad he understands not to touch them or pick them up. I think he would take it personally if he got stung.

Yeah for a turned baby - although sometimes I think it is not so fun cause that means their feet hit your ribs. Boo! Good luck with the room rearranging. And yeah for warm weather! Anna and I have been playing lots in our backyard. She likes to find spiders...only they ARE alive and she DOES touch them. Ahhh!

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...

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

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!! ...
