At the circus

22 Sept 2007



We went to the circus today. Jacob thought the funnest thing was sliding down the wheelchair ramps on his bum. The actual circus he was not too impressed with- he kept asking if we could just go some where else. I asked him if he wanted to ride the elephants - he told me he forgot to bring his hat so he couldn't. I didn't know hats were required to ride elephants. Merry liked the blue snowcone the best of all.

Fishing for crawdads at Strawberry reservoir in Utah

Papa took us fishing for crawdad in July when we visited him in Utah

Merry ate lots of fried chicken so we would have plenty of crawdad bait

Papa, the master fisherman, showed us the proper posture for catching fish
Jacob stripped down to his underwear, he would have gone further if I had let him- apparently he thought crawdads are attracted to red.
Merry caught more rocks then crawdads for some reason.

4th of July - Utah

4th of July in beautiful "downtown" Hatton, Utah. Brian, Beth, Jacob(3), Merry(18 mos).

The Beginning

A brief update on our family-

Jacob is now 3 and spends his time trying to defeat his sponge bob video game (what a great mom I am) and sailing to far off places in his play house. His favorite song is Jingle Bells and his favorite toy is a wheel (he calls it his "roller fing") from a mcdonalds happy meal (we lost the part that makes it spin). He pronounces sharp- shark and merry- murray. He loves cheese quesadillas, puzzles, his fast shoes and apples. He hates vegatables of every kind, wearing flip-flops and the robots that squash him on the sponge bob game.

Merry is now 20 months and spends her time following Jacob around and trying to do exactly what he does. She loves to sing happy birthday- and insists on having it sung to her every night before bed. Every letter is U to her and every color is green. She still refused to say Jacob. She loves bows and rubber bands (but not when they are being put in her hair), blankies, jumping on the trampoline and her daddy. She hates sour cream.

Brian is still a loan shark at USAA who wishes he had more time for managing his fantasy football teams and fishing.

I am currently devising a plan to take over the universe-other then that my life is pretty uneventful.
