The new year

Well, I have really not kept up with my usual blogging schedule. Things have gotten just crazy and mostly, I have no permanent spot for my computer so the time I take to get it out and set it up and boot up...well I just have time for the super important things and not updating this. So here is a small recap.

Alice has so many teeth. Six right now and two more that we can see coming up. Due to this her sleeping is all over the place and I am trying to wean her and she hates it.

Daniel is growing up so fast. We did have to cut his seventies hair he had going on but hopefully it will grow out soon again. He is lounging with me watching tv right now. His new favorite movie is the Incredibles which he claims reminds him of our family. Jason and I are not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Daniel has also started getting himself dressed which is good and horrible since he never wants help. So if you see us and he has his pants and his shirt on backwards, just keep it to your self.

Other than that, not much is going on. We teach sunbeams which is a hoot and a holler on Sundays. But with Alice it is also a challenge but so far, we haven't been sick.

We are just trying to get ready for spring and wondering how much landscape we can afford this year. Anyone know a good landscaper?

Also I am too lazy to go and get my camera so this post will have no pictures. Sorry this is so boring, it has been one of those weeks.

My sister and brother-in-law are landscape architects. They might be able to help. Let me know if you want their info. Also, when will I be seeing you so I can give you that dinosaur toy?

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...
