H1N1

No! (I just want to reassure everyone that we don't have it, yet.) I went with my sister Annita yesterday to get our little one's H1N1 shots. The Davis Convention Center was a joke that wasn't funny, so Annita looked up another place. We drove to Salt Lake, since I had the day off I figured no biggy. I tried not to tell Icky that he was getting a shot, but I finally did. He didn't care until the nurse was ready to take us back. I am holding Marley, who has no clue what is going on, and dragging Garrick, who is already crying and saying he doesn't want a shot. We get to the room and he freaks out. I have to shut the door and the nurse finally says that we should give Marley hers first. She cried for a minute and then I put her down and she was fine. I then wrestle (literally) Garrick's pants down, and pin him to the table. He cries and screams and fights and we are done. But. . . he continues to cry and won't let me put him down. So I walk out of the office carrying my 40 lb 3 year old, hysterically crying, and holding my 1 year old's hand. It was a pain but hilarious. I was just really glad that Annita and Tony were around to give a helping hand. And yes my 3 year old is suddenly a wimp.

Maybe Fall

I love all things fall, not as much this year as in years past since we did a little detour to winter for a couple of days, but I love fall. I have had new additions to my fall agenda since I've been married and then again when we had kids. Carl hunts in the fall and it is a little harder to get out in the great outdoors as much. But it is still great. I love wearing jackets and letting the sun warm me instead of the air. I love raking leaves and getting the garden winterized. DO not get me wrong, this is not an anticipation for winter just a great fall. So here is to my favorite season of the year!!

We haven't been super busy this fall but we've had a good time. We went on a play date to Layton park with my friend Heidi and her kids who are the same exact ages as Icky and Mo.


Marley got some new shoes. Which she wanted to wear EVERYWHERE!!


The kids were excited to get the Halloween stuff out. My cute Bucketheads.








And of course we spent last weekend watching Conference.
