100 days of school

Eliza had a project to make something she could wear with 100 things on it. We got this fun idea from my cousin Amber Harmon. It's a 100 eyed monster. Eliza especially liked that the eyes made noise when she moved. I am sure her teacher did too.

Toothless Addie

Addie lost her first tooth on February 4. The tooth fairy visited and she spent it the very next day on Oreos. Like father like daughter.

Whit turns 35-WHAT???

How in the heck is Whit old enough to be turning 35? I'm just glad it's him and not me. These past few months Whit has had a few experiences reminding him of his age. The first was when the Madison football team won state. It was a big deal because it hasn't happened for 17 years. It just happens that Whit was on that team 17 years ago. Then at church Whit was talking to a guy about an experience we had with his family when we first moved here and the guy said, "oh ya they told me about that. It happened while I was on my mission." Whit was in shock and said, "I can't be that much older than you." The guy just looked at him and laughed, as if to say you're kidding right? You are ancient. Then last week we went out to dinner and we had this really young waitress that was quite interested in my pregnancy so she asked the one question I dread the most, but get the most. Is this your first baby? No, it's actually my 6th. This respose was followed by the same look of horror and disbelief that I get every time those words come out of my mouth. She then says that I don't look old enough to have six kids. She should have stopped there, but no she then turns to Whit and says I would believe you have 6 kids with all that gray hair. Poor guy. I think his gray hair looks really good on him.

Despite his trepidations about being one year older, we celebrated Super Bowl style. Whit has the great pleasure of having his birthday land on Super Bowl Sunday every once in a while. I got back that afternoon from my Time Out trip but the girls took really good care of him. Jaynie set her alarm at 6:30 and got all the girls up to make him breakfast in bed. They covered it in this Super Bowl bowl that I thought was so cute and creative. The best part is that I didn't even think of telling them to do this. They did it all on their own. I have such good kids. When I got home we went over to our friends, The Proano-Stevens, for a Super Bowl birthday bash. Marcia happens to share Whitney's birthdays so we had double the reason to celebrate. And speaking of old Marcia turned 40 this year!! All in all I think Whit had a great day.

Mommy Time Out

Last year my mom and sisters and I started a new tradition of going to Time Out for Women. Time out is a conference full of inspirational music and speakers. This year the first date was in Layton, Utah the first week of February. I was 32 weeks pregnant, but we decided this would be the best time to go. I wanted to go without a baby, however, now that it is all said and done I think I would have felt better with a baby rather than being 32 weeks pregnant. Oh well. I was a little bit of a drag to have around but I still had a great time. I just hope I didn't ruin the trip for everyone else. Despite being extremely tired and suffering from super swollen feet every night it was a great trip. The conference was awesome. I left knowing I have lots to work on but knowing that I am a strong woman that can do anything I set my mind too. Including getting through this next 7 weeks of pregnancy. We did lots of shopping and ate way too much delicious food. Thanks Mom, Kim, Kylie, and Starla. I was so glad that my last hurrah was spent with you four.
