Thinking about having kids?

If you are thinking about having a child, but not sure if its a good idea. Ask yourself this questions. Do I mind cleaning up poop, or getting someone elses' poop on me? If the answer is yes then do not have a kid. This is actually funny to me, but I don't typically enjoy getting poop all over me. We bought Zach a little potty a while ago and finally lately he has noticed it and wants to sit on it, with his clothes on still. He has never used it. But today when he was like poopy poopy I thought hey you should use the potty. I checked his diaper there was no poop so I hurried to put him on the potty. While I am taking his diaper off he starts pooping, then falls on my lap and gets poop everywhere. I am stunned and do not know what to do. I throw Zach in the bath and am standing there like oh my gosh there is poop on me!!!! At that moment my husband calls me and I answer not knowing if I should cry or laugh. I tell him I have poop all over and need to call him back, he just laughs. Anyway I got the poop cleaned up the boy washed. I am showered and the clothes are in the washer. This is what it is like to be a parent. Take it or leave it.

The Holidays Are Coming

I love this time of year and can not wait to get the Holidays started. With Halloween over and it being a little colder today I just can't wait til it's time for Turkey and Christmas songs and the whole bit. We made these sleighs in a church activity at my mom's ward. Mine actually turned out kind of cute which is a miracle because I am the least crafty and person on the planet. We even got the picture for our Christmas cards done on Saturday. Zach is now 18 months old so I figured while we were getting those pictures done we would get the christmas cards done too. Instead of presents and things this year I am really going to focus on making people happy. I usually spend a lot of time and money at the stores and once the presents are opened that is it. I think that there is a lot we can do to help make people's lives better and I am really going to focus on service for the next couple of weeks. At the end of the day kids grow out of clothes and toys but the love they feel from you will last a lifetime.

Here are the pics of our Halloween Activities

October

We had such a busy October. I am thinking we are going to try and do a little less in November. It was great that the weather was nice and we were able to be outside a lot and have some fun. We went to Gardner Village and Zach got to ride a pony and pet the animals in the petting zoo. We carved pumpkins and went to Halloween parties and of course went trick-or-treating. Zach was a dressed up as a little giraffe. It was a costume my mom had so it was free, and I think he looked very cute. Taylor and I also celebrated out 2 wedding anniversary. Taylor let me get Rock Band as my gift and me and the Muir family have been jamming out at least a couple nights a week.
