This week was Katie and Kai's wedding. It was hard to take Ethan but somehow we all survived. The first night inthe hotel room he was SCREAMING before bed time. It's a good thing that bedtime is around 8:30 because if it had been any later I think we would have had an angry mob at our door. We were going to spend the night on Friday as well but Ethan had met his limit and Jacob had gotten off work at 8:30 so he picked us up on his way home from work. It worked out well and Ethan got a good night's rest. Now today he has a runny nose. That makes the day fun.

We don't have much planned for this week. Really the only thing of note is that Jacob and I are going to buy new underwear. Woo hoo! Hey, right now I will take anything I can get.

This week has been rather uneventful for us. We did however carve pumpkins and Ethan had a great time. He thought it would be fun to try and eat the gooey insides but decided that it wasn't that tasty after all. Later he also thought it might be fun to try and eat some rocks but unfortunetly he DID think that those were tasty and so I had to wrestle rocks away from him all afternoon. And you know what - I am sorry to say that is all there was to note this past week.

We went up the Sardine Canyon on Thursday to take some pictures - Denise was our photographer. They turned out pretty well. We brough Ethan's Halloween costume (he is going to be a giraffee) and took some pictures in the bright leaves as well. He is growing quite big and can crawl faster than ever right towards mom's unprotected entertainment center better than you could believe. Jacob is going to bid on a few job openings in Salt Lake to become a regular. If he gets them he will be guaranteed 40 hours and holidays off. He would also get standard days off of Sunday Monday. That would be really nice considering right now they change every week. I hate not being able to count on a steady schedule for him.

Conference was really good. We all went up to Craig's new apartment in Logan and watched it in the apartment club house. They have a new dog - an Italian Greyhound. "Chauncey" and Ethan got along quite well seeing how they are about the same size. The only downside - he is not potty trained. Oh well, it's not my apartment.

Tomorrow we are going to go buy some pumpkins and Ethan is going to carve his first pumpkin. Well...Jacob will do the carving Ethan can play with the mushy insides. We are hoping that Jacob has Halloween since it will be Ethan's first. We won't know till a few days before but we'll see.

I started this new project of scanning all of my in-laws pictures so that they could go digital and preserve them. It has taken about a week to scan the pictures but now I have the slides to do. I think there is about 800 or so. That might take me longer than a week. But just look at this cute picture of Jacob as a little boy that found. Now you all know why Ethan has very blonde nearly white hair. All Jacob's fault. It's cute though.

We tried to push Ethan's bedtime back from 8:30 to 9:30 but he absolutely refused. He still woke up at the time and was then ornry all day long because he didn't get as much sleep as he normally did. Not worth it.

This Friday Jacob is having "brother" day where he is not to be disturbed by anyone and is going to play (I guess) with his brothers from sun up to sun down. I have no idea what they are going to do but I am assured that it is going to be awesome.

As for me and Ethan our plans are to sit home and do absolutely nothing together. General Conference is this weekend so we won't even be going to church. I am sure that mom will have something going on over at house like a slumber party for Conference but we will see.

We are going up Sardine Canyon tomorrow morning for family pictures. We can't afford to pay a fancy photographer so we enlisted the free services of Denise to do the honors. We might have to pay her five bucks in the form of frozen yogurt afterwards but it will be worth it. That way we can have as many copies of the pictures we want and it will be so much cheaper than anything we could possibly afford to pay someone to do. The last family picture we had was at Ethan's blessing day which was about 6 months ago.
