Amy Jo's Mission Call

A few weeks ago Mom flew to Utah and her, K-man and I went to Provo to await the arrival of AJ's Mission Call.
She was so excited that she could hardly stand it.

But because of the Thanksgiving holiday there was nothing there.

Poor Jo Jo.

That is until her call finally showed up. Hope you enjoy.

How I love my Cookie Bear

Digging for gold that Lays up Lady Liberty 's Nose

I am not sure What Cookie was looking for but he sure got a good look!

Blog warning the following message contains a sappy public thank you to my husband. If you have a weak stomach consider yourself warned!
I don't do this enough mostly because I think its cheesy but I do owe my sweet husband a public shout out for all that he does. These pictures were from our trip to New York City when Cookie and I were freshly engaged. We went to see his big brother Doug bless his first son. We had a great time sight seeing with the family but I must admit my favorite parts where we were on our own. The first night we flew in Cookie got us killer seats to Wicked and it was AMAZING! Later in the week we ditched the family and spent the afternoon bumming around the Met taking pictures of famous paintings and statues and getting in trouble with the Met's hall monitors. He patiently smiled next to every famous painting and artifact and did his bessed to blend in with the art work. It is one of many memories that make me giggle when I think about them. Cookie has worked hard to support our little family. When I was on maternity leave I did not recieve a single paycheck and Cookie kept bringing home the bacon and made ends meet without complaint. He is also responsible for ALL of our finances. I shiver to think what type of situation we would be in if I was the brains who worked the books. He is funny and smart and is the best daddy a baby could hope for. I love you cookie bear and count myself as the luckiest girl in the world!

Ahh what the heck one more post!!!

This pic is too cute not to post. Happy Holidays!

Play Date with Auntie Liz

Cookie and I scored some tickets to the Play Into The Woods at Hale Center Theater. So we called up my dear pal Lizzy for a play date with K-Man. Her answer was a very excited Yes. I knew my guy was in very capable hands not only does Lizzy love babies she will watch them for the very attractive price of a plate of brownies. For those readers who don't know Lizzy is the one with red hair and her sister Sarah is the one in the hoodie. Thanks ladies K-Man had a blast!

A Not So Fun Night in the E.R.

Well, for as good as our little boy has been he is not feeling so well today. This morning at about 2:45 a.m. he began to whimper as he slept, waking up his parents. We took several temperature readings and called our doctor( or the doctor who was on call - he actually supervises our NP who is Kenneths primary care provider). Our little guy was burning up at a tempurature of 103.4 degrees - so away we went to the hospital. Being that it was 3:30 in the morning by this point we were one of two other people that were being treated and we were admitted right away. Our little guy endured test after test. Our great nurse Fritz took urine, blood and snot samples to see what was going on. Happy to say for the time being everything is clear - primary test came back negative for anything, he has a shot of anti-biotic that they gave him before discharging us and he and mom are now home sleeping the day away - they both need their rest! We are awaiting the result of blood and urine cultures and should have the results by Friday morning-afternoon. Prayers for our little guy would be greatly appreciated, but we aren't expecting anything horribly shocking to come back from the tests. Love all of you and hope you are doing well.
