new office in Rexburg

Last weekend Prosper moved to a new office in Rexburg, quite bigger, so that it has room to grow. We took all the kids and stayed for a few days. I am sure my sister just loves when I come because with her six girls and our four there are ten kids in the house. But she is always welcoming! We made the rounds visiting and Aarons mom made a nice dinner. It was the first time we ate a turkey bought off QVC. Marin has a bit of a sweet spot for her Grandpa Ralph. He was out of comission after taking a tumble off the back of the tractor. It was sad to see that it was snowing in Rexburg too but what the heck did I expect, sunshine and rainbows?

Thirty somethingish

It's my birthday today and it was a great day. I have wonderful friends, neighbors and family. I got a package of cinnamon bears, a big sugar cookie, a coupon book from my kids and husband. A big tin full of mints (all my favorites), lotion, some babysitting from a friend and lots of phone calls. Then we all went to Tepanyaki's for dinner soooo good!!!! My brother made a calendar for our whole family with birthdays on it so we all would remember each others birthdays. He called me today about some weekend plans and I don't think it dawned on him that it was my birthday. But at least he made me a calendar and I love it. Thanks everyone.

packing on the pounds

This is what I give Greyson for meals:

Malt o meal with half a stick of butter and lots of brown sugar

Soy cheese, an avacado, whole milk and a cookie

Spaghettios (with the meatballs) and some toast with the other half of stick of butter

There are slight variations here and there but................

WE HAVE FINALLY MANAGED TO GET HIM TO 20 POUNDS! GOOD JOB GREYSON!!!!

Although we did cheat a little with turning the car seat around before we should. The kid is almost 18 months for heaven's sakes.

just passin the time

I love how my kids are so inventive. The good olde laundry basket can be anything. A ship, a bathtub for the imaginary dog we have and a cage to keep in the little destroyer so he doesn't smash the blaster 3000 that Ashton made with the kinex. (yes, Greyson is in the laundry basket that Ashton is proudly sitting on). The other pictures are a real moment when I think maybe Ashton was bonding with Mesa as he was spinning her in the wheelchair.
