Catching up...

I just wanted to catch up on some pictures that I've not been able to post since the move...

Here is Mya on her new "big bed" surrounded with all her stuffed animals (thanks to Daddy). When we moved we decided to put the crib in storage as well, and cross our fingers that she would sleep well in Scott's parents' double bed. I am so proud to report that Mya has done awesome with the transition! The first couple nights I had to lay by her until she fell asleep, but by the end of the week she would go to sleep on her own without even crying! Now after I tuck her in and say I love you, she repeats back "Lllluv Yuoooo! Bye-bye." It's so fetchin cute and I'm so proud of my little girl!


Now finally some Halloween pics! Here's our little lion! Scott's mom made this adorable costume.

She really didn't like the hood much and would only wear it for a few seconds at a time, but I did manage to get a couple of cute pictures.

Silly face...
Out trick or treating with Dad and Matt & Addison Creager

This is just a recent random picture of Mya and Sage on a horsey ride. Mya loves the horses, but she's not quite as attached as Sage! Sage has to be literally pulled off the saddle, kicking and screaming! We love to visit Miss and Mitch to see the horses!

I'm a Mazda RX-8

You're sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you're willing to do your part

Getting Your Input...

So I've been debating making our blog private for quite some time, so I thought I would ask my fellow bloggers of their opinion. I know it's probably initially a pain to get everyone emailed, but are there any other drawbacks? I have never received random comments from "stalkers" and I "track" who has visited through the Feedjit, but is that enough? Are there still sick pyschos stalking my family's life? :) Anyway, I just wanted to get some input from those of you that may have tried the private way to see what you thought. Thanks!

All is well... all is well...

The title for this post serves two meanings. The first being Scott's surgery went well. We were at the hosptial for 4 hours, but the actual knee scope only took 20 minutes. The repair to his miniscus muscle went great. Scott says it's a little tender, but he's already putting weight on it and walking (we didn't even buy crutches). The doc says he should be back to his sports within 2 weeks- which is a HUGE relief for not only Scott but me too so I won't have to see him depressed for much longer! Scott loves to be active and this has kind of made him a little on the ornery side being held back from sports. ;) Love you honey!

Now for the second topic... Still more opposition in CA about Prop 8. Even though the majority of Californians voted in favor of banning gay marriage, the gays and lesbians are taking it to the "Mormons". Why they've pin pointed our church out versus all the others I don't really understand (I also suppose they could be doing the same to other church's but I just don't see or hear about it.) But click here to see their recent protest at the Los Angeles Temple. This just makes me so sad. I wonder if it will ever calm down and fade out? Doubtful... I wonder how long other states will follow in pushing harder and harder for gay marriage. I am surprised we did not hear as much about the votes in Florida or Arizona- I suppose that's because neither state has a San Francisco... :) At any rate, I'm sure the opposition will continue and the fight to stand up and be proud as a Latter-Day Saint will forge on. Who knows how much worse it will get, but I just have to keep repeating the phrase "All is well, all is well." I was talking with my mother in-law Wednesday night about the whole issue and the "signs of the times" and she said that a seminary teacher once told her, that it won't necessarily be because of the wicked that the 2nd coming will happen, but perharps more so because of the righteous. When the righteous no longer waiver and do everything they are asked is when the Lord will return. There is just so much to think about lately with members of the Church no longer being "fence sitters" and really having to take a stand for righteousness' sake. But among the turmoil their is still so much to be thankful for, and for now that's what I'll try to focus on...

PS- Thanks Diane for the comment. It looks like they are bringing the protest home to Utah. Click here for the report on KSL's webpage...

It's Official...

Well Scott has officially drawn out on the limited entry mountain lion tag in the Nebo region. He is so excited and realizes how lucky he was to draw out on his first entry! Needless to say I will become a hunter's widow here soon. Scott will be taking our dog, Tess, out every extra minute he has to help train her. A special thanks to Seth (and Rachelle :) for letting him go) for helping out with the extra dogs. Scott is so excited to get him a "cat"! :) A possible set back though... Scott is having knee surgery tomorrow, which we've been told should be minor but it's possible it could be worse than they think. If it goes as expected he'll be back walking in a day or two and playing sports in a couple weeks. However, if there is more damage done he could be on crutches for 4 weeks and out 6 months for sports. Wish us luck!!! :)
