Jessica's Baby Shower from the family

Today we had Jessica's baby shower from the Williams family. It was so much fun. We had such a fun time planning it. Me, Angie and Laura were in charge and we did a wonderful job if I do say so myself. Laura was on a mission to make sure Jessica got a bassint and she came through beautifully. The only hard part was that it came in a box and we wanted to have it put together so it would be ready when Jess got it and she wouldnt have to put it together. Well we did it. We only had to take it a part a couple of times and then Lex came to help us also. Thanks Lex. Anyways she was so excited and it is the cutest bassinet I have ever seen. They are usually not very cute at all. Also Angie got the bea in her bonnet to make her a "Diaper Cake." I thought it sounded kindof weird at first but when she showed me I could see what she was saying. It turned out so dang cute and she is actually going to start selling them so if anyone is interested in one let me or her know. She is amazing as we all know. She is Martha in one more area.

While at the shower Aaron had the boys for the day. They were having a rather relaxing day until Trudy called him to come to her rescue for a "Griswall Project." She had the lesson on sunday and it was on eternal companions and just needed aaron to do some majic because all of her other plans had fallen through. So he did his magic and cut her pieces of the granite from the draper temple for each of the girls to have and they had a picture of President Hinkley sit in them. They turned out very cool. Good Job Aaron. You are amazing as we all know. If I can get a picture of them I will post it.

Dog looses his nuts, Retaliates by stealing Aarons

After a trip to the vets, our dog foud himself lacking something to lick. He got even the other night when Aaron decided to change the brakes on his truck. Aaron took all the lug nuts off the tire and the bolts from the calliper arm and set them neatly behind him. One by one Rumsen, our one year old black lab, took them and carried them off in the the snow. Whether or not he ate them or simmply droped them in the deep snow remains a mystery. What is for certian is that after spending twenty miniutes trying to find them Aaron figured out the dog was taking them because while looking for the missing ones he saw the dumb dog come get one of the few remaining ones and carry it off. He found one in the snow but before he could return it to the pile the dog took yet another one. Full of frustration and while spewing mumbled obsenitys into the cold night air he picked up the rest of the nuts and bolts and put them into his pocket. Once the remaining hardware was secure he kicked the sorry dogs ass back into the house, locked him in, and then proceeded to find a ride to the nearest part store to aquire the nessessay parts to put the truck back together. This spring as we mow the lawn we will see whether or not they were mearly droped or shat out. Unless of course they were to get cross threaded in him and then we will both end up back at the vet.

At the bowling Alley

Today was free zoo day and I always plan every year to take my kids on this day to see how much they like it if it would be worth to buy a family pass for the year. Well if we all remember how freezing cold it is today you will understand why I decided not to go to the zoo today. Well actually I had invited my dad to come with us with it being Wednesday we all had the day off. My dad told me that he would like to spend time with me and my boys but he did not want to freeze to death but he would love to take us bowling. Well last year we took our kids bowling for the first and they both loved it so I said i would love to do that. My kids were so excited when I told them that grandpa was going to take us "real" bowling not toy bowling. We all had such a fun time. Jessica being eight months pregnant also came and when we checked in at the desk to get our shoes the lady told her she better not have it here today because she didn't want to clean it up. She was kindof onary and we didn't think she was very funny. We all had a great time and that is what Ciaran wants to do for sure now for his birthday. No Jessica didn't go into labor but it was pretty funny to watch her bowl.
Pictures still to come

Will the snow ever stop

We have gotten sooooo much snow it is unbelievable. Yesterday I looked out my window and could actually see the green grass again but it didn't last for long. Well I haven't done an entry for a couple of days because I have been sick in bed.
Sunday Aaron took the boys to church all a lone. Good job aaron. Ciaran started going to sunbeams which he loved. Cabhan on the other had was not about to stay in nursery without Ciaran there with him. I had a feeling this would happen. I dont know what we will do. They have a child proof lock on the door of the nursery but guess what Cabhan can open it and he his down the hall before anyone notices he is gone. We will have to keep working on that one. Well while aaron was taking care of the boys on Sunday while I was sick he taught them a new song. Oh my gosh it has to be my favorite one so far. It is from Bon Jovi's new album and I love it. Bon jovi as you all know is my favorite band of all times and now my three year old can sing his songs. What more could you want. I know it is not I love to see the temple or Jesus wants me for a sunbeam but I still love it. I will work on those ones with him. This is not the song by Bon Jovi as you can tell but just an example of what a good little singer I have. Ha ha

Jessica's Baby Shower

Today was a very busy fun day. Aaron stayed home with the boys all day while I went with Jessica doing baby stuff. Holy cow I still cant believe that Jessica is going to have a baby but she is. We first went up to Ogden to a shower that the Richards (jays family) gave her. She got such fun stuff. It almost made me baby hungery to see all the cute baby stuff. After the shower we went and visted Lew and Winkie and she told her story Corbin Blue. It was very entertaining and fun. Then we went to Jessica's appt and opened all her gifts and put everything away. That probably sounds rather boring to most people but it is right up my alley. Her nursery is so cute. Then we went shopping for baby clothes and baby stuff. We were gone all day and I think my feet might not ever recover. I finally took my shoes off in Target and walked around in my stocking feet which is very unlike me but my feet hurt so bad. Stay tuned to see the pictures after the baby is born. I am so excited and most of all I will be around her every day because Jessica will be bringing her to work with her. I will get to play with her all day and hold her and then give her back to Jessica when it is time to go home or change diapers or what ever else. Wow how exciting.

Family Night at the Desmonds

Aaron has school on Monday and Wednesday nights so we usually do our family night activily on Tuesday or Thursday. So last night was the magical night. It started off with Aaron coming home with a huge migrain headache throwing up all over the side walk as he was walking into the house. So for the next couple of hours it was moms job to keep the two terrors quite while Aaron tried to sleep off his migrain. For the most part they were pretty quiet but they have this new game they play with rumson (the dog). Ciaran and Cabhan are the good spiderman and rumson is the bad spiderman and so they run around the house screaming to get away from him and then hide on the side of the couch from him. It is pretty funny but they can get pretty loud. Well finally around seven thirty Aaron came out of the dark room and we decided we would play candyland with them. It was pretty funny and took all my patients I had left. Two and three year olds do not have long attention spans as we all know. Cabhan quit saying he didn't want to play many times and then would come back a few minutes later. Ciaran did end up winning and I was so grateful when the game was over. I guess I just didn't have much patients last night. Anyways it is so fun raising these two little boys. I love them so much and thank Heavenly Father every day for trusting me with two of his precious spirts. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stay safe with all this snow we are getting. Picture is Ciaran and rumson last year for his birthday

New Year

Well it is a new year and I will finally start my own blog after being begged by many people. We had an awesome experience going to a special open house of the Rexburg Temple for the contractors and their families. I was hoping to be able to see more of what Aaron does at the temples but it was basically a typical tour other than we did get to see the Brides room. Aaron is now mostly working on the Draper temple which should be finished this fall. How exciting. Well that mostly sums up the year for the most part so far. Talk to you soon.
