I would like to propose the idea of spending Thanksgiving this year in California. There are 6 people in Utah, 5 in California (including a new baby), and 4 in NM. So why not California? We have plenty of friends close friends who would be vacating their houses so we could use one as extra sleeping quarters. We could also go visit some So Cal sights if people wanted to. Thoughts????

Sounds nice, but I doubt Brigham will have the time off. Everyone else will, though... so come here!

Au contraire... I will only be able to get either thanksgiving or christmas off, not both. I like christmas a little more so I'm going to request christmas off and so most likely, if thanksgiving is elsewhere, I will not be able to participate...such is the trouble when you have so many people in the family working in the medical field.

Can I just say that I will be happy when we someday CAN all be on the same page at the same time?

I doubt someday will ever come. Cambrie married a Californian. Jacob would never do well in the Utah inversions. BJ's never going to meet a nice Utah boy in California. At least this isn't the 1800's where my daughter went across the ocean and/or across the country with her husband and we only get letters a few times a year. My boys are in Utah (for now) and I'm glad of that. Perhaps I will have some grandchildren that I can see more than a couple of times a year and can take camping and play with and become close to. And my $0.02 on the subject is that as long as I have kids in UT that want to come home for thanksgiving, I'm not going anywhere because one of my quests in life is to provide a "grandma's house" or a "grandpa's house" where my family feels like "home".

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
