ER and the ER again (or is it ED?)

Without going into too much detail (because frankly, it's embarrasing) I have been in and out of the Emergency Room two days in a row. The baby is fine -- it's all me, but it has been a crappy week. Any and all prayers sent my way would be greatly appreciated! I'm finally starting to feel a little better.

Ready for Halloween

I know, I know, it's still six weeks away, but the baby is due at that time and I needed to get the costumes taken care of. Jacob has been telling me for a while that he wanted to be the blue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I finally ordered the costume and it arrived today. Trevor is perfectly content to be Elmo. I think the Elmo head is a bit heavy. Here's a quick preview.

"My family" -- Jacob's first shapeart

Jacob is loving preschool. The subject for this week and next is "all about me". I love this project that he came home with today. I'm not sure if you can read it, so I'll write it out.

Trevor: I love to play with him. We like to play with trains, cars, trucks. I love him.

Mom: I like to go with her to McDonalds and especially on birthdays! I love my Mom!

Dad: I like to play Hide and Seek and wrestle. I love my Dad!

Jacob: I like to do lots of fun stuff with my family. I love my family and I love myself.

Don't you love the "I love myself."? So sweet!

Trevor turns two! Jacob's first day of preschool!

We're back from our trip to Utah and back in the swing of things. We had such a great time while we were there. There were no dull moments. My ten year class reunion happened to fall on the Saturday I was out there. So I went with one of my friends, Myra, from highschool. It was fun to see people and how they've changed. Some look like they haven't changed at all. It's weird to think that I've been done with highschool for 10 years.

My mom flew with me to Atlanta hoping to get a seat on the final flight to Rochester. Sadly it was overbooked and she missed the last leg and had to fly straight back to Salt Lake. I was so sad. It would have been so much fun to have her here for a night. The boys were wondering why I was crying (but I held it together until we were on the plane). It's always hard to leave.

The day after we returned home was Trevor's birthday. We had a little party at McDonalds the day before we flew out with family. T had a blast. The day of his birthday was more low key. He opened presents and we all had cake. I made a cake from scratch because I didn't have any cake mixes stashed away. It ended up being a devils food cake because it was one of the only recipes that didn't call for milk. All in all it was very fun.




Jacob started preschool today. He was so excited and had to tell Trevor a few times that school was only for him, not Trevor. After telling him that it wasn't nice to say that to him (the way he was saying it) he quickly slipped it in one last time after jumping out of the car and walking to his classroom. The school has made these adorable tote bags for each of the kids that has their name embroidered along with the preschool name and logo. When he received his he was a little distraught. The name said, Jake. He looked at it and said, "My name is J A C O B." He must have said it a few more times in class because the teacher figured out that there was a Jake in the early morning class who had a tote bag that said Jacob. Anyway, it's all sorted out and he'll be receiving his real bag on Wednesday. His teacher is adorable and I think it will be fun for him. Oh, and there are two other kids who attend in this complex, so we get to carpool!!!


Wayne is on a sweet rotation right now. I am loving that!

The weather is turning to fall here. The leaves are changing and the temperature is dropping. The high tomorrow is 72 degrees. I love the fall.
