The Baby has Turned

So today I went to the doctor and we discovered that the baby has turned and is now sitting with her head down. It kind of made me really realize that the baby is probably going to be born before too long. Also I don't think we are going to be moving out of our apartment before the baby is born so Daniel and I sat in his room for a long time trying to decide how to fit a toddler bed, a book shelf, a changing table, crib and dresser into one small 10x10 room. Daniel did emphatically tell me it was his room so I can't wait to see what happens when the baby moves in.

The doctor did inform me that no matter what I did there probably wasn't anything I could do to stop the absurd swelling that seems to plague me. I just hope that the swelling doesn't get as bad as it did with Daniel.

Speaking of Daniel. Since it has been warmer I let him play out on the balcony. He was so excited. He has been finding dead wasps in various places and he'll come running in to tell me "bug, bug, bug! Need to sweep it up." Then we sweep them up and throw them over the side of the balcony onto the ground. He thinks it is really funny. I am just glad he understands not to touch them or pick them up. I think he would take it personally if he got stung.

Yeah for a turned baby - although sometimes I think it is not so fun cause that means their feet hit your ribs. Boo! Good luck with the room rearranging. And yeah for warm weather! Anna and I have been playing lots in our backyard. She likes to find spiders...only they ARE alive and she DOES touch them. Ahhh!

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...
