Snow day!

Okay, so everyone has been so good about taking pictures of their kids playing in the snow. I didn't get any pictures, but I was out there playing with them. Nathaniel didn't get any pictures either, because he was trying to rest his back so that he could try and get to work for a couple of hours. Jarom and Rachel, where so cute though! They had on their snow suits and hats and gloves. We built a snowman just a little bit bigger then Jarom. It was fun to watch Jarom and Rachel each roll the snowballs for the body. I of course made the head. Then to watch them hunt our yard for two sticks for the arms. We are still looking for the eyes, nose, and mouth. I had to go in shortly after the Snowman to take care of Emily. The kids still played in the back yard. Nathaniel and I are so glad that we have Rachel and Emily for Jarom to play with, because it wouldn't have been as much fun for him to play in the snow alone. Once I had Emily to sleep, then the three of us made snow angels, a start of a fort (one brick made) and we had a fun little snowball fight. Shortly after, we all came in and had Hot Chocolate, YUMMY!!

surgery update

We went in Thursday, Nov. 15, at 11:30 in the morning. First of all a very HUGE THANK YOU to Marvin and Denise for taking Jarom and Rachel! Nathaniel's surgery went pretty quick, but we had to wait between 21/2 to 3 hours for him to be put in a room. Apparently, this new hospital, Inter mountain Medical Care, built about 200 rooms, but didn't think they would need it. Duh, what are they thinking when they combine and close the two hospitals. Anyway I sat in the sitting room for 4 hours and around 5 or 5:30 he was finally placed in a room. That waiting room was so packed and the sad thing is only about two of the many families in there waiting was waiting for surgery. Yes we where all waiting on rooms. Anyway, to get back on track, They said "it", I guess doctor Berry meant the disc, said it slid to the one below it and was pressing against two of his nerves. One of the nerves being the one that controls the bladder. He said that Nathaniel did well, and he looked really good. Nathaniel, regurgitated as soon as he came out of it, and started again last night. He also called me this morning and said that he started to have a panic attack and that he still has a monstrous headache. He was supposed to come home today, Friday, but I don't think he will. We will see.

Six things about me. Let me think for a moment about that. I don't feel like there is anything all to interesting about me, but here it goes.

1. I love to do things with my hands. I was never really good in school except when I had classes that I used my hands, instead of memorizing dates and facts. I think one of my favorite classes I took was pottery and aerobics.
2. love to cook. I'm not to good at the baking, but the cooking I am pretty good at, which I think I spoiled Nathaniel. He hates to eat out, because he thinks the quality isn't very good, I can make something for cheaper and feed our family, plus some. Of course, for us eating out is fast food.
3. I love being a stay at home mother. I love the fact that I get to watch my children grow up and see all the cute things that they do. It just amazes me to see the things they learn and that they pick up on so quickly. I love that they love to be with me and do everything that I am doing. They especially love to help me out in the kitchen.
4. I wish that I practiced more on the piano, because that is a talent that I now wish that I developed.
5. I love poetry! Not only do I love to read it, but I like to wite my own also. I don't ever share my writings for fear of embarrassment. I think they are good enough for me, but not for others.
6. I love being in Young Womens! It is a little time consuming, with all the activities, but I love being with the youth. I also love serving with the Leaders that I serve with. They are all so wonderful!

I would love to here about six things that my friends Stephanie, Clover, Amy, Jenny, Cherrie and of course Alahnna like. You have all been tagged!

Fishes

Once again, I took the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium. They love to go there and see all the different fish, frogs and so forth. Their favorite part is of course, the feeling pool. They also love it when the octopus is awake and moving around. That has only happened two times that we have been there. They also like to sit and watch the movie about the sharks and whales. Their other favorite is to watch the shark and run away when the sharks come close to the window. That place is fun, they have so many fun things to do there. They also like to just sit down and drive the boat. That is probably where we have the most pictures. The first time we went was with Andrea, who knew what she started.

HALLOWEEN

I wanted to say a big thanks to Chelsea, Matthew and Melissa. The kids had a ton of fun at the "Trunk-or-Treat". They especially had fun with baby Matthew. Then on Halloween it was off to Grammy and Grandaddy Ash for more trick or treats. They had so much fun and love to be with their little cousin. This is what we where for Halloween. Nathaniel was Zorro, I was a witch, Emily was a bunny, Rachel was Sleeping Beauty, and Jarom was the Bad Spiderman.Matthew, Melissa, and Matthew came with us to our ward trunk or treat along with Chelsea. The kids had fun! On Halloween Rachel and Emily decided to change their costumes. Rachel wanted to be a fairy princess adnd Emily was Cinderella. Of course, they are both princesses! Isn't Emily so cute! She had fun just watching everyone else prance around with their candy. She did try to sneak one herself. Rachel was so excited to just get into her candy. Thanks Grammy for the invite to come trick or treat at your place.
