I got home from vacation just in time for all of the boys to be sick. Brian wasn't feeling well so he stayed home too. With so many people in my space upstairs, I decided to defrost the big freezer downstairs. I will post pictures. In fact, I will go take a picture right now. It literally took me all day! We get another 1/2 beef this week so it had to get done. After spending all day in the storage room, I now have the itch to organize and clean that room. It really needs done. We'll see how much energy I have.

These are the boys that I missed and I was so glad to get home to see. I am lucky to have a mom and dad who could take the time to come and stay with the boys. Thanks! These are the bears I brought them (via Lindon Walmart, not San Francisco, I didn't leave the hotel). They were excited to have us back... I think. They sure enjoyed Grandma and Grandpa.

I had the opportunity to go to San Francisco on Thursday with Brian. All I'm going to say is that I am not a traveler. Brian will probably elaborate on this when you see him with all the eloquence he can muster. It was foggy, rainy and my room was very small after two days. I would love to say I had a great time but I really could care less if I traveled again. Here are some pictures from my hotel room. We did have a great view. Good thing. This is my take on San Francisco.
The bottom picture is my view Friday, the top is my view of the same buildings on Saturday. On the third picture, if you follow the street on the right up to the top of the picture, you can get a glimpse of a section of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Yesterday was a fun day! The boys didn't have school so we started on their new Jedi robes. They are pretty excited! I just got them cut out and after school I'm going to have each one help me sew the straight seams. We also went out to lunch to Pizza Hut. They were very disappointed that they couldn't eat it right there but Pizza Hut is take-out, not sit-in!

Today was my doctor's appointment. We are at 17 weeks and counting! Yeah! The boys love to talk about the new baby, when it's coming, what it will be and where it will sleep. I'm afraid that Zach is set on the name Bob -- Good thing he doesn't have a say. When you ask Hayden about the new baby he say, "You mean Sarah?" Everyone has a name opinion. Logan originally wanted a girl baby because they are so much cuter, but has since recanted and wants a boy. I'm with Logan. Give us another son. Parenting is hard enough, let's not throw estrogen into the mix! Our ultrasound will be our next appointment -- everything is already decided -- what's done is done -- so do we really want to find out.......

I have to post the pictures of the snow we got last week. Monday and Tuesday is snowed and snowed and snowed. Finally, Wednesday morning we could see across the valley and had blue skies. I just couldn't believe the amounts! We had well over a foot of snow on the bench areas. We shoveled and shoveled and really just couldn't stay on top of things.
