Pumpkin Time

We carved pumpkins the other day with our friends the Harris family. Daniel LOVED it. He loved scooping out the guts and he loved having friends over. We didn't have a working printer and didn't like the faces that came with the carving kit so Jason drew one. It was great but then Daniel thought it was much more fun to draw on the pumpkin.





Alice did not think so highly of the pumpkin guts.




This is my favorite room in our house, our kitchen. Alice loves it too.




These are some last memories of us living with Grandma. Daniel and Abby had many a days like this. Abby wanted everything that Daniel had or some days Daniel wanted only what Abby had. This is a good example of the end of one of those days.



This is just an adorable outfit on an adorable little girl.



One day we will be moved in and it will be awesome. Some of Daniel's new things are that he has Jason's old office phone and he calls everyone on it and has pretend conversations for many minutes. It is pretty cute. Alice just really likes trying to crawl. I will try to get some pictures of that soon.

Looks like a fun time. Anna isn't sure what to think about pumpkin guts. It will be interesting to see the difference with Evan - boys are so different than girls. I love your kitchen too, but you already knew that ;) It was fun hanging out and catching up the other day. We need to do it again.

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!! ...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...
