I know it has been a few weeks since the last post but we have been pretty busy. Last Sunday we decided to put our house up for sale and move to Salt Lake (AGAIN!!). We have actually been debating it since we moved back but we really have strong ties to Brigham City and absolutely love living here. But we made the decision to stay down in SLC untill Jacob can transfer closer to Brigham. It will save us nearly 500 in gas each month which is quite a pretty chunk of change.


Saturday while Jacob was driving to work he hit what we think was a dog, and cracked the radiator on the Neon. He is driving my car (which means that I am yet again without a car) untill we can get the Neon fixed.



Here is the picture of Ethan at Baby Animal Days in Logan. We went with Heather and little Briggs and Briggs did so much better than Ethan with the animals. As you can see in this picture he would only touch them with one finger! I think he gets that from his Dad. Anyway. We had alot of fun and I think we will try to go every year.

Oh - and the other news. I am pregnant!! We are due on December 23 and I go to the doctor on Tuesday. More info coming!

This has been a pretty uneventful week. I decided that Ethan was not eating enough fruits and veggies so what I have been doing most of the past few days is trying to find ways to trick him into eating anything good for him. I cut up his string cheese and then also add cut up pears or apples (beacuse they all look the same). When he gets one of the pears or apples he puts it in his mouth and then it comes right back out again. I'll have to keep trying and see if they start staying in after a while. I did find a way to get him to eat broccoli and califlour though. Ethan loves pasta so when I make it for him I just add a little bit of broccoli and he doesn't even notice that he is eating it. I also blend up the califlour and mix it in with his scrambled eggs in the morning and he doesn't know the difference. I tried to give him a strawberry and he wouldn't have any of it. But if I put it in the blender with one banana, a few other strawberries and some milk then he will drink it through a straw for a great afternoon smoothie!

FrontRunner starts on the 26th of this month and we are excited to see if it will work with Jacob's work schedule. If it does it will save us nearly $150 a month in gas. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

Hey, if anyone out there reading this has any ideas on easy, quick meals, for dinner I would love to hear them. I need them to be fairly inexpensive too. Alot to ask, I know....but still!
