I am not a Texan!

On Friday night, or I guess early Saturday morning I went into the Dallin's room to feed him. I look over as I am rocking and just relaxing and there is the biggest cockroach I have ever seen in my life crawling on his crib. I was mortified! I ran into my bedroom and woke poor Michael up to kill the nasty bug. Michael even screamed when he saw it. At that point I decided we were going to pack up and move back to Idaho! I will take blizzards and below freezing tempatures over cockroaches.

We are not really moving back to Idaho, but I don't think I will ever get used to it. The people we have talked to about it, say we don't have to worry about the big ones. They just wander in, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just have to worry about the little ones. We have sprayed and I do see dead bugs in the corners, so I know it is working. I guess the strong big ones survive to scare me at 2:00 in the morning. Dallin has not yet moved back into that room. I just can't stand the thought of a cockroach crawling in his ear or nose. (I have heard stories from others about these things happening never to babies, but I am paranoid) We have not seen any more roaches and I hope we don't. We also plug our drains at night, and now we will have to make sure all of the cracks are filled in. I hope we do not see anymore. My skin is still crawling from Fridays incident.

Spoiling our children

We took Joshua to the carnival behind our house. He had a great time. He just loves cars! We are spoiling him. :)

Dallin just had is 2 month appointment. He is in the 95th percentile for everything. He is 13lbs and 25 inches long. He is smiling and doing great.

We are just enjoying the weather as it is cooling down. We are headed to a baseball game this Saturday. We will watch the Rangers take on the Angels. Michael is planning on building bunk beds for the boys. I am coaching Volleyball for the Young Women and playing Volleyball. We have a pretty good team. It is just nice to do something without the boys and get a little exercise. I still try to make it to play group on Mondays. We also have new friends in the area that live in walking distance, so it is really nice. We have met them in the park and Joshua and their little girl have played together. It is great!

Baby Blessing

We blessed Dallin on Sunday. It was a wonderful blessing. Michael's parents were down for the blessing. It was so fun to have them here. It went so fast, it almost seems like a dream that they were here. It was so nice to have family around again. We also spent time with Michael's Uncle David and his family. It was wonderful to have finally met them. We had a wonderful meal and great conversation at there house.

Joshua was happy to see his Grandma and Grandpa again. He has been asking where they are at the past couple of days. Dallin enjoyed Grandma putting him to sleep. She has a special talent. Michael and I of course had a good time showing off our kids, friends, and house. It did make me miss Rexburg.

Joshua has been repeating a lot of what we say. For some reason it seems when someone comes to visit he seems to all of sudden progress faster. I guess he just needs another confirmation other than Michael and I. :) He loves cars. We can not get him out of the car. We went to a Birthday party on Monday he sat in their toy car the whole time. It was even hard for us to get him to eat a cupcake! They are thinking of raising the driving age to 18 here, I am not sure Joshua will be able to make it! :)
