Over-reaction...

Good Morning -
I have just a minute...as usual, to write down a couple funny stories before I forget them. Last week, Friday maybe, I walked into my bathroom to find a ridiculously large at the time what I thought was a spider on my shower curtain. So, being as brave as I am got a shoe, and tried to get it. However it was to my surprise that this thing JUMPS! And he somehow knows right when I'm coming. He's a fast little bugger. So now he is on my floor near the toilet, and I try one more time with my shoe and he jumps a couple more times. Thats when I realize I needed a different strategy. I know it sounds crazy now, but I grabbed my can of aerosol hairspray and shoot. However that didn't last long because is just jumps around a little more. At this point I had to go the bathroom so bad, but dont because I am worried about the spider/cricket coming near me. So, I leave him in there, hoping i'll come back to him already dead because of the hairspray right. Wrong. Now he is just gone, and I still need to go to the bathroom! But of course I dont until later that day when Josh is home and can go inspect the bathroom for me! It wasnt until 2am the next morning that I find my new little enemy in Henry's bedroom on the floor just under his crib!! I weighed my options and decided the only thing to be done was wake up Josh. He wasnt very happy with me but after just a few jumps Josh was able to get the little guy. YAY! (I am hoping it was the same cricket that was in the bathroom...EW! crickets!? EW!)

My other funny story that I wanted to write down really fast was that just the other night when I was getting back into bed after a 2am feeding with Henry, I was adjusting the twisted up blanket when Josh (in his sleep) grabbed a big chunk of it. So I climbed in bed and tugged on the blanket just a little when he tugged back, and rolled right of the bed! At first I was startled! There was a big heap of husband and blanket on the floor. It takes just a second before Josh climbs back into bed, and thats when I start laughing almost to the point of peeing my pants. Who rolls out of bed?! My dear sweet husband, thats who.

Until our next fun adventure......

Fun things we've done

Hi out there -

Its finally the weekend! I always feel like I have just a few minutes to write, before my sweet little Henry wakes up and needs my attention. We found a farmers market today that one of the girls in my ward works at. That was so much fun. It felt like home. I love going to farmers markets. I never buy anything but its always really fun atmosphere. The one in Salt Lake is bigger, and has much much more then food. The one we were able to make it to this morning just had produce, and a lot of really beautiful flowers.

Last night (9/25/09- Happy Birthday Kate : ) ) we went to a Nats Baseball Game. The Nationals played the Braves. That was a lot of fun. The stadium is huge! Henry and I have never been to a major league baseball game. Henry got a little nervous we think with all the noise, but it made for a funny picture. We rode the metro into the city which we don't do very often. We were able to meet some other couples from the J. Reuben Clark Society. The Nationals lost, but we had a really fun night.

We also made it out the zoo earlier this week. We saw the pandas, and zebras, and some other fun animals, but decided that we were going to have to make it out there a couple more times to see it all. We went with some of the girls in our ward and with their little babies. It has been a lot of fun getting to know the girls in my ward. I am lucky to be in the same boat with other people. I think without them, this move across the county with a very tiny baby would be much harder.

Well...Until our next adventure.....

I thought i understood...

Hi,

I think i am once again confused, so bear with me as i work on figuring out this bloggin thing. mostly, i wanted to take just a minute and upload a picture or two of my new sweet son. This is kind of a goofy picture, but i cant find the other ones that my husband (Josh) uploaded on the computer last night. This is Henry, born August 5, 2009. He is about 5 days old here, and listenting to his daddy's music.... i have some more cute pictures of him coming. Promise. Speaking of which, he is calling for mommy. better run!

Life begins in Falls Church VA
