Family Pictures

We realized that it had been awhile since our last family pictures, like before Alice was born. Therefore new ones were in order. We went to Portrait Innovations in Provo, because it was just too cold to do ones outside. Here are some highlights.











My kids did pretty good. Daniel loved having his picture taken and we told him he looked handsome, lovely, etc. etc. trying to encourage the fact that it is ok to wear jeans once in awhile. Alice thought that it was either a game and tried to run or break the back drops or hated it and screamed. The kissing picture came from us trying to get her to stop screaming and do something with Daniel. We are in fact convinced that our children will burn this picture later on in their lifetime.

Our holiday preparations are going...still no tree but hopefully sometime this week that will happen. Daniel is trying to peak at the presents already here which is really annoying and funny since there are lots of unwrapped presents everywhere that he hasn't noticed yet.

Daniel is still loving preschool and we have started him on sight word books which he loves! Today he read about eight words which was awesome. Alice is talking a little bit more. Which is nice. She is cutting the last of her teeth for awhile so it has been miserable the last few days. I am still surviving in Primary, which is getting easier, but hard to do when I have a cold. Jason is still loving his job and I would love it more if I felt he was ever not working. He claims he has those times I just don't see them very often.

If you want a Christmas card, let me know. Daniel has been helping me sign them. It is awesome.

Whatever. I think the kissing picture is cute. I want a card. Anna has been signing her name all over ours too - in all the wrong places. Gotta love it.

Would love a card. Send us one. We have a similiar picture of our kids...except two boys kissing is so much more risque. They can all have a burning party together.

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!! ...

Random

So the baby girl sure moves a lot. I remember being amazed when I was pregnant with Daniel, when they asked about fetal kicks and I thought, seriously there are babies who only kick 10 times in an hour? Those women are so lucky. I wanted to have Daniel as soon as possible mostly because I didn't think that my ribs would hold up from his abuse. I had a lot of people tell me that he would probably still be a calm baby anyway, that some babies are just active in the womb. Those people were dead wrong. Daniel has just been on the move since he was conceived apparently. The only thing I worried about with having two kids close together is that they would both be as active as Daniel. It looks as though we are well on our way to having two kids who can't sit still and have to be into everything and anything. By the way does anyone have any tips on how to convince Daniel that he doesn't have to stand on a chair and help mom in the kitchen every time I walk in there? I am ...
