Conversations with Daniel

I know that everyone believes their kid is really funny and cute. I think Daniel is just one of those kids who is ridiculously funny because of the things he is trying to say at the moment. Poor toddlers, they want so much to express themselves and know so few words to do it in. Jason started this new blog where we've been recording conversations with Daniel. Click here Check it out if you want.

Other than that, still no baby yet. We are waiting fairly patiently at the moment but I have a feeling toward the end of the week might not be as good if we are still waiting. We also have still not decided on a name. I think it is down to Alice, Ruby, or Matilda. Any opinions?

Daniel however had his first meltdown over the fact that we went to the store to buy something for the baby and not for him. I think it might be hard for him to have a new person in his little "me" world but hopefully he will like the baby well enough. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

How did your doctor appointment go yesterday? I hope it wasn't too bad and that the baby comes soon. My vote is for Matilda, but that is just me. Daniel is pretty funny - I enjoy him and his funniness. Thanks again for letting us come over and hang out yesterday and for all the clothes. you are a swell friend!

I totally vote for Ruby. Sorry no baby yet. Waiting is so hard. I have heard that boys have a harder time adjusting to a new baby, but I'm sure you will make it work. Just make sure to always have those Mommy and Daniel moments that he is use to.

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 ...
