Great fun. We loved every second, but after 4 days we were ready to come home and hold, hug and kiss our kiddos. I have been playing catch up this week with laundry, and patience, but it was soo worth it!!

Weekend away
Thanks to Sandy and Curt, Curtis and I were able to sneak away for a weekend at BYU. It seems like when we do get away, we usually go to Utah because 1) usually one of our tickets is paid for by Honeywell, and 2) out hotel is partially paid for by Honeywell. (We are cheap, it's true)! Curtis had Management Society meetings which I got to tag along for on Thursday, and then Friday we went to the bookstore and stocked up on BYU t-shirts for the boys, which was probably the real reason for the trip; Jonah is not clothed unless his shirt has a BYU somewhere on it. Little Turkey. "HI ma maa!"
BYU v. Utah State, we had fun with Josh and Noelle. Noelle and I thought the whole stadium was going to come thundering down on us while we were going potty. Also I think BYU is probably the only stadium in the WORLD that has a designated folding chair in the bathroom for nursing moms. It actually had the words: FOR NURSING MOMS painted on it. It is the same folding chair that is in every church you've ever been in. Gotta love it.
Subzero with the everybody after Priesthood Saturday night
The girls, after going to Downeast Home and Target Sat night :)
The Conference Center, we went to the Sunday am session. I have been a few times and it is always amazing to feel the change in the room when the Prophet comes in. It was the same this time. Just amazing reverence and awe from everybody there as President Monson walked to his seat. And the he waved to tell us to sit down. We sat down and saw this adorable girl with a huge flower in her hair 2 rows in front of us (you can even see her in the picture... I totally didn't know that was her when I took that picture!!!) When she got up near the end of conference I realized it was one of my favorite cousins/babysitters ever... Victoria!! She didn't see us, so when she sat back down I texted her, and told her I liked the flower in her hair. She started looking all around, the look on her face was priceless. It was so much fun to see her!! She is a JR. at BYU, I can hardly believe it. Actually our moms are cousins, and I met her mom through my Aunt Marilyn, or I never would have known that we lived in the same stake in Glendale. I also got to see one of my YW from Glendale, Jen Bruton. She got married this summer and I could tell she is so very happy with her awesome Derek.
Great fun. We loved every second, but after 4 days we were ready to come home and hold, hug and kiss our kiddos. I have been playing catch up this week with laundry, and patience, but it was soo worth it!!

Happy Janie Kate Day! September 19, 2009
I can hardly believe that it's been a year since our little JK was born. Curtis will be the first to adamently deny that she is a Jersey girl. (Not in the way that you typically think of Jersey girl, that is). Well alot has changed since September 19, 2008. Newton, NJ is 1200 miles away. And our family is different with the sweetness that JK brought with her. Janie=sweetness.
Janie's favorite food: bananas, gogurt, laffy taffy, black beans- if she DOESN'T like something, she will drop whatever it is, one at a time, off her tray
Janie's favorite items: the phone, gukkies, baby doll (in that order)
Janie's favorite people: Mom, dad, Sofi, wrestley brothers ( in that order)
Janie's favorite activities: walk around and pull stuff out of cupboards, drink baba's, climb the stairs, find small things on the floor and put them in her mouth, explore, find the toilet and splash!,give kisses!
Happy Birthday Sweetness!!
