Cooking with Dad

These are just come cute pictures of Daniel and Jason making cookies.
Here is Daniel eating a cookie, the very first one he ate, other than my sister's pumpkin cookies. We were kind of shocked that he ate it. He will only eat dough and batter if Jason eats it though, he never wants it from me.
This is our biggest problem. Daniel hauls the chair over to the counter and then stands on the chair. He has only fallen off about 20 times so far. We found a really cool step stool thing to help with kids just like Daniel but it is kind of expensive and we are debating if it is worth it. I am glad that he loves to help us make things.

On a good note, I had my fourth ultrasound today. We are in the clear so no placenta previa for us. It was kind of weird to see the baby so big, the head looked so much bigger than it did ten weeks ago. The doctor told us she looks really healthy and she had a good strong heart beat so we are resting a lot easier now. I can't believe that we have had to have four ultrasounds. Hopefully the next few weeks will pass without much incident.

Daniel has decided that Bob Marley is the flavor of the week. He walks around the house singing "no woman no cry" and "get up, stand up, stand up for your rights." Those are his favorite songs right now and it is awesome. He really moves and groves whenever any Marley turns on. What a funny kid.

That really is fun that he loves to cook with you! I'm sure you could figure out some way to secure him to the chair, rope, duct tape mayber?

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...

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 ...

Diaries, Journals and Records, oh my!

One of the things we all hope to find as genealogists is personal histories. Wouldn't it be fantastic if everyone could have written even a paragraph about themselves and it aaas preserved and findable? Unfortunately this is not the case. This is actually the reason I began looking into my ancestors about a year ago. I was determined after getting a BA in research aka history, that I could find more information than what we currently had available. I was right in my impulse. Our greatest source has been the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. They have been collecting histories on the pioneers for a very long time, and luckily I have a lot of pioneer ancestors. My first stop at their archives revealed a lot of treasures but one of my favorites has been the personal history written by Mariah Taysom. Mariah Jaynes lived on the border of Wales and England in the Monmouth area. She met a Mormon missionary by the name of Charles Taysom and became converted to the Church of Jesu...
