Christmas and beyond

I am not usually this bad at updating, regardless here is a quick recap of the holidays.

We bought aquarium passes on google deals and they have been worth every penny so far. Jason loves to take the kids there. Although I heard when they passed Thanksgiving Point on Saturday that Daniel was really concerned that we did not have a current pass there. The things kids worry about.
 
I took the kids to the live nativity in Alpine. With the help of my sister and bro in law and their cute little boy. We did not freeze but it was chilly. My kids loved it and we would totally go again. Alice loved looking at all the animals and Daniel asked all the Jerusalem shop keepers everything about what they were making. Alice also really liked the baby Jesus and if it wasn't for a gaggle of girls behind us who would not shut up I am sure I would have been more in awe like my little girl.
 
We took the kids on this boat ride on the Provo river where they had all these lights on the river banks to look at. Now my kids totally loved it and Santa came on a canoe and gave out candy and everything. They thought it was so awesome. It was ok for the price. We would definitely go again but with slightly lower expectations of the lights. But it was really fun.
 
This was Christmas. Daniel and I both had unexpected stomach problems and for a long time in the morning no one could even get out of bed. We opened stockings in my room and Daniel laid on the bed and slowly pulled out like half the stuff in his stocking and then just gave up. I have never been more grateful for new movies than I was on Christmas. The kids and I watched three movies and did nothing. We had our Christmas dinner on New Years and it all worked out in the end.

We had a lot to be thankful for last year. Jason's surgery went really well and so far has been cheaper than expected (hopefully when our last bill comes we will still think so). The newest Webb is expected soon, within the month, so hopefully that goes well and I will definitely post about that.

We absolutely loved having a pass to the aquarium when we lived there. It is so nice to have something to do out of the house. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I can't believe you have less than a month left. Pregnancy goes by really fast when you aren't the one pregnant ;) Your kids need to know what rockin parents they have to take them to all those fun places. I am super lame. Which is why we indeed, need to get together. lol.

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 ...
