Halloween

We decided to make Rose Raggedy Ann for Halloween. I made the costume and she was quite cute.



My sister gave us a ballet outfit that daddy was sooooo excited to put her in.



Thanks Mom for the cute dress. She will be able to wear it for a while.

New-ish pictures

Finally new pictures of the pipsqueak. Although they are a couple months old they are newer.

Things have been busy for me lately, work has been crazy. I feel bad for any time I do something outside of work without Rose. Last Thursday Ed and I decided to go to the temple which was much needed and a wonderful experience but I felt bad afterward for not spending that time with Rose. It's definitely hard balancing work, a baby and everything else.

Lately it has been real busy around my house. My manager was off for a week and I had the weekend after off, so I worked 11 days straight. It was hard (especially since everything went to pot while she was gone) but I managed.

After my 11 days we went camping with our ward. The only way Ed could get me to go was to borrow his parents tent trailer. It was actually perfect because then we had a heater at night, and we could heat water for Rose. We ended up having a good time and eating some great food by members of our ward (and yummy roasted marshmallows). It was just an over nighter and Ed unfortunately didn't get to go for a hike (he thinks he broke his toe the day before we went). I did find it funny that they announced the bishopric would be making breakfast (before we went) and only the Bishop was there and he wasn't even helping.

Rose is getting bigger. Many people still think she is a newborn. She is almost 4 months now. It is a lot more fun playing with her now that she responds. I have started blowing on her tummy when I change her and she laughs as long as she is not too hungry. When that happens she is just to fussy and it's hurry hurry hurry. We think she is teething, her gums are feeling a little ridgy and she is extremely fussy. Mostly in the afternoon though.

We got Ed's acceptance letter to Weber and he will hopefully start in the fall. We still have a lot to do though before he can go. He has to talk to an advisor about what classes to take because for his major they sometimes want them to take specific core classes. We also found out we didn't do everything for financial aide. We had to fill out the fafsa (which we did) and apply with Weber for financial aide, and bring in our taxes and w-2s from last year. I know we have them somewhere...

Anyway they told us after we do that it's still six weeks (about) until we can get anything. Which is after tuition is due, but they won't drop him from class, we just have to pay a $40 dollar late fee. I have decided I HATE big universities. Even when I was trying to go there it was a lot of crud. We also walked a little of the campus it is way to big for my taste.

I'll have to start taking more pictures to post for Grandma. We'll see how that goes....

New Rose Pictures

While my sister was visiting she took some pictures. Rose went cross-eyed for this picture.

Daddy is wrapped around her finger, and she sure likes him too.

Rose's Blessing

WE ended up blessing Rose at home since my dad was only here for a short time and I really wanted him to be there. It was anice day and we took a fewpictures afterward. My mom made her dress. It was perfect!

Ed and his friend showed his nephews how to make their ties

look like bow ties.
