Marshall's Halloween Costume

I know it is still a bit away,but . . . . when we went to Disneyland earlier this year, we bought this pirate costume for Marshall because that is what he wanted to be for Halloween. We have been trying to find some hair to go with it, and today we did. He looks so funny! He also has his eye patch and sword, but isn't that hilarious.

Great Email, worth reading!!

I must have a sick sense of humor, but I found this email so funny that I decided I would post it on my blog. I thought how cute, then laughed so hard. ENJOY!!



Incredible Story



In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peters legs and slammed his stupid *butt* against the railing, killing him instantly.

Hmmm, Probably wasn't the same elephant.

This is for all of my friends who send me those heart-warming stories!

Brave Marshall

Yesterday was our Primary Program in church. I have worked for about 1 month with Marshall on his part so that he would have it memorized and be brave enough to say it in front of everyone. The first day we practiced he had it memorized, but I would periodically ask him so that he would know it so so well and be brave enough to say it. Well Saturday we had a practice, he stood in line with the other sunbeams and all of a sudden he was getting teary eyed and a pouty face, so i went to him and said let me help you, but he wouldn't do it. After the practice he said, "Mom, if you take me to get a happy meal I promise I will say my part tomorrow." I thought yeah right, he isn't going to he is just way too shy, but I couldn't say NO, so I took him. We woke up early on Sunday got ready and Marshall was in a bad mood. You could tell he was nervous and everything was bugging him. I thought no way will he say his part! I am a teacher in Primary so I was up with all the kids. The Sunbeams all lined up, Marshall included, he had a smile on his face, it was his turn, he looked at Korrine (Primary President), and said,"I don't need help I can do it myself", he stood up and said right into the microphone, "My name is Marshall and I know that I am a son of Heavenly Father." Then he got down. I was so so so so proud of him. My eyes got all watery and I could have cried. He was so brave, and he kept his promise. The rest of the program he kept putting his hand up in the I Love You form and waving down to Daddy, Grandma Hall, and Papa Cutright. Anyway, just wanted to share that with you, I am so proud of Marshall and how brave he is getting. He is a shy little kid, but Primary and Preschool are helping him quickly become so brave!!!

Private Blog

HEARTBURN

Ok, this is bad . .. I thought I had it bad with Marshall, that was nothing!! At night it is so bad that I spend the night like this:



Horrible. I laid down at about 10:00 this evening to go to bed, and am now sitting in front of the computer between barfing.

So anyone who has experienced this knows how bad it sucks..... any advice would be great. I take a RX Zantac at brkfst and then at dinner I take an Rx Zantac and Prilosec. I have tried to not eat anything after 7:00pm, however still major heartburn. Leave me a comment with any advice or tricks that you may have. Anything would be wonderful. I try sitting up to sleep, doesn't help.

I am so proud of Jake

So I know that I am post happy today, that's okay . . . I finally have a minute that I can be. I just wanted Jake to know how proud of him I am, and that I am so happy for all he does for us. His job has been really stressful lately, and it brings you down, it is hard to want to go to work. It has also been super busy, he has not had a day off in over 21 days. Finally tomorrow he gets to have off. YIPPEE!! It is hard when you are having to help everyone at your job, and listen to everyone be babies and complain all the time. Well a position opened up in detectives for Robbery/Homicide. That is a position that is highly wanted, well Sargent asked Jake if he would like that spot, Jake said sure. Oh boy . . . . . that is where all the drama started. But to save a long story, JAKE GOT THE JOB!! It doesn't pay more, but it is a spot that you earn by working hard, showing your dedication and proving that you can handle anything that is thrown before you, and that is exactly what Jake has done!!! He will do such an awesome job! Love you Jake.

103 Days and Counting

I had my Dr. appointment today. Everything was good, baby was measuring perfect, heart beat sounded wonderful. We made a date for the C-section of January 6th. So Baby Kambria will be born on a Tuesday, January 6th. Having a set Date makes me so excited. It makes it seem like it really will get here and she will be part of our family!! So I have 14 1/2 weeks to go, or 103 days to go. Considering I have been pregnant for 25 weeks, and found out what I was having at 16 weeks (and that came pretty fast), 14 1/2 weeks is sounding closer and closer. I am soooo ready!! I went shopping yesterday with My mom, grandma and sister up to Park city and my mom bought me some maternity clothes and some baby girl clothes. Girls are fun to dress!!! Anyway other then that nothing new going on! We are doing good. I have major Heart Burn, but today my Dr. gave me some tips . . . . hopefully they will help. There is nothing worse then throwing up and having it come out your nose :0)
