All tuckered out but still having fun

Isaac is actually pretty sick with a cough, congestion, and a fever so he is pretty drowsy.  This was good entertainment though.

Finally a Family Home Evening!

I love a well dressed man

Just had to add that picture on top because I just love it!  We have been horrible at remembering to have FHE.  We were really good for a while when we were doing it with another family before we had to move but then it all went downhill.  Well I finally remembered on a Monday night that it was family night and we did the whole program.  I attempted to play I’m a Child of God on the piano while we all sang, we had a lesson from the nursery book the Moons got us for Christmas last year, and for the activity we got matching tattoos!

Nathan says we are teaching our kids to be heathens.  I say that’s just fine with me as long as we can have FHE while we are doing it.

Nuff Said!

What’s Been Keeping me from Blogging??

I need to get my priorities straight I know.  Fortunately I have been able  to avoid all other Facebook games.  I’m going to stop soon I swear…

2010, my favorite year so far

White Coat Ceremony 2006

2010 has been a long awaited year for Nathan and me.  Like all things, now that it is here it didn’t seem too long but I know that the last 3 years did not pass so fast when we were trying to get through them.

Sitting in the audience at Nathan’s white coat ceremony  in 2006 hearing “here is your Class of 2010″ made my heart just sink.  I was thinking things like am going to be 24 and you’re going to be 28 when you graduate! Almost 30!  It felt like 100 years away.  Its been fun though.  I loved living in Pullman and being in the student stake.  I think when we look back on collage years we will think of the years we spent there more than any other time.  I can’t believe we have had two kids since then, and it seems weird thinking back to before they were here .  Now it feels like we are getting ready to start our real life family with a real job and home of our own.  Thank you 2010 for finally coming around

ACL Reconstruction

Yesterday I had the opportunity to have my acl replaced using grafts from my hamstrings. To be truthful, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I fell asleep in the operating room very quickly, and the next thing I remember was waking up in recovery.I definitely felt it in my knee and I still do but the pain is very manageable, especially with Percocet on board. I looked up what they do on youtube to see kind of what would be goin on with my leg. It was interesting to watch. I have the orders now of not getting up unless I have to go to the bathroom and I have to keep my leg as straight as possible. The doc said that if I can straighten my leg by Physical Therapy, then I will have a much easier recovery. So now I get to enjoy sitting on my butt for 4 more days and then hopefully by then i will get to take a shower.

Still alive

Just a little out of the habit of writing about every little thing that might be interesting for someone else to read.  So far Christmas vacation has been awesome.  I helped my nephew pick out a gift for his girlfriend, did some great laying around, and I seem to be staying up later and later every night.

Some pictures to enjoy:

Ahhh vacation

And they're alllll for me. JK, we got like 20 people here so the presents dwarf the tree.

This is what happens when I relax too much. Ahnna also squirted hand soap everywhere and ditched the bottle in the toilet.

Already a manipulator

Ahnna comes in and gives me a big hug.  “Oh hi mom! I love you! Kiss? – Muah -  Oh hug!…cookie?”

Update on creepy noises

So gets worse before it gets better.  After I told everyone in the house what I was hearing, Nathan’s mom said she has been hearing the gate at the bottom of the stairs opening and closing when no one is home but her.  It’s one of those baby gates that you install into the wall and it has a lever on top that you lift to open and shut.  I keep blaming Nathan that he has been leaving the gate open but apparently it may have not been totally his fault.

So Sunday night the house was dedicated.  Just a special prayer to help us all feel safe and calm.  So far I feel much better.

Footsteps…

For a while when I got up to feed Isaac at night I would hear footsteps in the hallway.  The first few times I thought Ahnna had woken up and was walking to the living room because it sounded like little strides at her pace.  But when I got up to see, there was no one there and Ahnna was always fast asleep when I put Isaac back.  I decided I was so tired that time of night I was delusional anyway. After a while it got quite unnerving.  I put Isaac in our room so I didn’t have to leave to feed him. Last night, Nathan was still up in the living room on the computer with headphones on and I was in the bedroom checking my voice mail when I heard Nathan walking down the hall.  There was no mistaking what I was hearing.  I got confused when I didn’t see him appear in the doorway or hear the bathroom door close.  I went out and asked if he had gotten up at all and he said he hadn’t moved.  That was the last straw for me.  I was freaking out the whole night, I wouldn’t let Nathan go and I had dreams of people hiding out in the house.  I’m still jumpy.

I’ve never been someone who believed in ghosts.  I’ve thought that there is always an explanation for everything.  I laugh at Ghost Hunters and I think it is all doctored.  I don’t watch scary movies because my imagination is too much for me to handle already.  However, I think I will stay upstairs at night until it is time for bed and then run to bed and get completely under the covers after Nathan is already there.  Then I might feel safe enough.
