The Spit Ups and a Tag

Yesterday was our ward temple trip to Memphis. I hung out with the kids while Rob assisted with the Youth. Then I got a chance to attend a session at the temple, which was the first time since Austin was born. It was such a blessing. I love attending the temple and what it represents. It is an important reminder to me of our purpose here and there is a bigger, much bigger, picture of which we are all a part.



We were about 45 minutes away from home when Lindsey threw up EvERyThINg she had eaten all day. Thankfully it only ended up on herself and the carseat. We found the next exit as fast as we could. Rob was driving with our good friend, Dave, sitting shotgun and neither were handling the smell very well. We stopped in a little town called Carlisle and fortunately at a gas station with the nicest lady for an attendant. She let us use an endless amount of paper towels, a few garbage bags and the bathroom. I was impressed at how thoroughly Rob had cleaned the carseat by the time Lindsey and I finished cleaning up in the bathroom. I'm not sure if Dave helped out with that, but I give him credit too. We made it home with no more "spit ups," as Lindsey calls it, but had not landed for long before they hit her again. Then we went home to watch our Cougars lose to the Utes--but never mind that.



I finish up this post with a great tag. My assignment is to post the 10th picture from my 4th folder in my picture file. It is only fitting that this picture be of Lindsey (and me). This was the picture we used for her birth announcement. The photographer--my mom. Lindsey--9 days old and wearing her blessing dress.

I'm tagging Stephanie, Whitney, Sarah, Kara, and Andrea.

In case you haven't noticed . . .

I have a widget at the bottom of this post. And you will notice and remember that it is not long before Twilight comes out in theaters.

HALLOWEEN

I've had a special request to post about our Halloween. I had every intention of doing anyways. But it might be good to do before Christmas, or even Thanksgiving so I can actually be ready to post on those holidays.

We had a super fun Halloween with Harry Potter, Vampire, BYU cheerleader, and a mouse. Grandma and Grandpa also came for the weekend. We had such a great time with them and hope they won't wait too long before the next visit. Grandpa took Rob and the boys fishing the next day where they caught TONS of fish. That made a tasty batter-dipped-and-fried meal for us the following day when we also celebrated Grandpa's birthday.

Where did October go?

And where is half of November already? Okay after a few threats on my life, I am MAKING the time to update my BLOG. If anyone has the recipe to make TIME, please share. We've had many small ADVENTURES in the past month and a half so my update will probably arrive in a few different posts. I'll try to start with two tonight.

In mid-October, we embarked on our annual pilgrimage to see the COUGARS play. For the SECOND year in a row, we watched them lose, live. Lindsey learned to chant, "Go BYU!" and shouted it the entire walk from the STADIUM back to the cars. We had great company with Dave and Kara traveling with us from Arkansas and also meeting up with my MOM and DAD. The next day we took the kids to the FORT WORTH ZOO where we had beautiful weather and saw most of the animals.

Zoobies at the Zoo!
