Emma's Dress.

Well here it is. In a little under a week we get to baptize Emma. My Mom actually found this dress for me. She was at a consignment sale in HP, looking for a stroller for my sis. Well as they were walking out they see a rack of dresses not even near anything else, and Mom decides to go and have a look. She finds this beauty marked at twenty bucks. "Twenty bucks" you say,"Well that is a good deal!" Your right, but it gets better. It was 50% off so it was only TEN DOLLARS! I know! Can you believe it!!!!! So any way Thanks to Mom for finding the perfect dress for my little princess!=)

New Show.

I happened upon this show off of Netflix. Nathan was skeptical at first, but as the show started we both got into it. It is Robin Hood obviously and it is just nice to see a clean family show. We like it a lot! So check it out if you like. I think you can watch it online at BBC America.com.

Hope you like it!

Nate and his Peeps!

Yesterday we went to the zoo with Nathan's class. Picture this, you are at the zoo surrounded by 3000 field trip classes, you and old.(OK well there wasn't really 3000, but that was how many were scheduled.) First, we go to the Polar bear, to see what he was up to. Well he was really active, and for some reason there was 2 geese in his habitat with him. As soon as she saw one of them, he went for it!By a fraction of an inch, he almost had it.So we are wondering this whole time "What is going on with the geese?"When on of these precious 5yr says,"Look Mommy, a baby duck."We all look and see this tiny gosling sitting right in the middle of the polar bear's habitat!At this point the polar bear is playing in the water and doesn't see the chick. As soon as the polar bear starts to get out of the water, Nate's teachers say "OK kids lets go!!!!!"So when then run as fast as we can so the kids don't have to see anything. Of course as you know some kids are very curious, and still asked us What will happen to the duck? All in all it was a fun day. We saw EVERYTHING!We walked EVERYWHERE! From Africa....uphill.Of course by the end Noah was beyond tired, as was I so we just did our own thing. Oh yeah Nathan's favorite was the elephants, shocker right!=)

Feeling Old.

Yes, yesterday was great, went to the baptism, saw the family,came home and spent some time with the kids.So me and my kids decided to have a smack down on our bed. Little did I know I would end up with bruised ribs, and the vault door to the family jewels busted open.Due to Noah's well executed and delivered death slam.That was the final blow..literally. I had to tag out to Dena, who then cleared the ring, and told me to breath or I was going to hyperventilate. Needless to say work was not very fun today, due to the bruising, and the factored vertebrae.Thus ends my career as a semi-professional wrestler.

A fun day for all!

Yesterday our nephew Jeremy got baptized! Yeah!! We got to go to the High point ward and go to church with them, and Kelly,and Grandma and Grandpa Harward. Good Times! It was nice to see everyone. It seems like we don't get to see them very often, so when we do we love it. Seeing Jeremy made me realize that Emma isn't far behind. A little over two weeks, if that. I am very grateful for this gospel. I am grateful for the chance to be a forever family. It is Emma's decision to be baptized and I am grateful for her, and the choice she has made. She is such a wonderful daughter. She makes us laugh all the time! We love you little Momma!!!!

P.S.Emma,Here is your Alvin and the Chipmunks!XXOOO

LIFES TOO SHORT!!!!!

Life is much too short to hate somebody for something stupid. Full disclosure, I'm pissed off @ a bud of mine for something he said about my family. I don't know if he meant it to hurt or if he was just kidding or something along those lines. Needless to say he knew I was upset and ready to drag his a** through the mud and back. He said he didn't mean to offend but I left in a tissy!!!
That night I was reading, not as I often do, and came across a quote by Brigham Young, it basically said "any man who takes offense when offense is not given is a fool!" I called my friend of 11 years and told him I was sorry and that I Loved him and hope we could forgive and forget. It's funny in life how things pop-up to smack you in the face! Well as my mom has always said, "life's to short to waste energy on being mad at somebody" mommas always right!!!!!!

The CODE!

You ask what the CODE is, well I'll tell you in story form of course. Today was a pretty busy day at work, lots of stops and customers to take care of. This means for me no time to stop and grab a bite to eat, so needless to say by the time I get home I'm ready to eat the door off the hinges!!
So as I park my truck and finish paper work I call my wife, like I do every day and let her know I'm on the way home, well this is where the "CODE" comes in. I ask Dena, "Hey whats for dinner?" She proceeds to go over the menu, and of course like Pavlov's dogs I madly salivate in anticipation of the soon to be had meal!!!!! Almost an hour later as I walk through the door and to utter disappointment, no food. I ask my wife, wheres dinner?!!!!!! Her reply, I didn't know you were hungry, sure you did, I asked whats for dinner?! After almost 11 years of marital bliss I've become painfully aware, stomach pains that is, that my wonderful wife has not figured out my "CODE". What is a man to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
