Three Hours of Perfection...

It's just so amazing what a couple of hours with a cherished friend will do for this tired mom's mood! Thanks Rach for a FABULOUS three hours of just "girl time!" Ahhhhhhhh.... I completely feel recharged! :)

(Now....how do we work it out so that we can do that more often? hehe)

A Moving Service

I had the opportunity to attend a memorial service this morning for a lady who recently passed away in our congregation. I didn't know her, though I had met her once or twice, but since I'm the Ward organist and pianist I'm kind of obligated to go as well. I don't mind it though, since I've only been going to this Ward 4 years, I'm still a newbie and don't know a lot of people who've been there since the beginning of time.

The woman who passed away was 74 years old and had been wheelchair bound for 40 years. Her body didn't work, but her mind was very quick until the end. Everyone who spoke said the most amazing things about her. How she didn't complain, or say 'Why Me?', or never asked for help. In fact, she was very independent, and those who came to visit (or help) her ended up just watching her do for herself. Her whole purpose was to serve others, not to be served herself. In fact, the reason we were at just a memorial service was because she had donated her body to research. (I don't know what her actual ailment was, but it was important enough that she wanted to help.)

I wish I had known her.

It was such a moving service. I know that she's whole again, and happy to be "home" as so many put it. I'm grateful that I'm asked to play at these kinds of services. It really helps me to understand the "big picture" and that we're all here for a specific purpose, if only for a little while.

A question?!

While I was changing Ryan's diaper just a few minutes ago...

Ryan: Mom, when am I going to get bigger? (this is what I THOUGHT I heard.)

Mom: When are YOU going to get bigger? You're getting bigger every day!

Ryan: NO, when are you going to get bigger? (again this is what I THOUGHT I heard.)

Mom: When am I going to get bigger?

Ryan: NO, when are you going to get bigger? (I'm definitely NOT hearing this kid!)

Mom: When is Mommy going to get bigger? Mommy's not growing anymore, I'm already big!

Ryan: (takes the 'B' out of his mouth, because it's impeding his question!) NO!! When is my weenie going to get bigger?!?

Mom: (Pause) Like Daddy?

Ryan: Yes!

I don't remember the rest because I was trying to keep from laughing at him and spreading powder or whatever all over the room!

We have a WORD!

OK...there's more words than this. (Ma Ma, Da-eee, kitty - or something like it, be be)

But THIS is a word that Megan uses with a purpose! Ready?

"Deees"

Any guesses as to what it is? Hmmm...maybe a little contest is in order! The first person to guess will receive a package of hand stamped notecards! Woo Hoo! :) So leave a comment and let me know what you think! (I'll add a picture of the cards once I make them!)

Good Luck!

Updated 7/26 - OK, here's what you can win - these FABULOUS hand-made note cards! (6 in all, they are 4" x 4" and include envelopes!) You know you want them - so guess! :) (Yes, I really made them myself...if you want to see the details of what I used to do it, you'd have to check out the Art Gallery on my StampMonkeys Business Website!)

Wicked Weather & Wicked Busy!

WOW...what's been happening around here? TONS!

This week was the beginning of Summer Quarter for New England Tech. I'm teaching 3 classes this time around - Access Programming and 2 XHTML classes. The one difference this quarter is that one of my XHTML classes is completely ONLINE! So...I was a little bit nervous about how it would work.

Luckily, it turned out to be a BLAST! Many major benefits of teaching online...

1. I can do it from home.
2. I can just wear a t-shirt and shorts because I'm at home!
3. My class doesn't require a web cam - SO, no one really has to see me, meaning, I can come as a grungy version of myself to teach the class! hehe

I have 6 students in my class, 4 of whom showed up. (It's not required that you be at the weekly lectures, but you do have to listen to the recordings if you miss it!) We use a software package called Elluminate, which gives us a white board, desktop sharing capabilities, chat room, and other stuff like that. It worked REALLY well!

At the same time, while I was hooked up with headphones and tethered to the computer, we had a nasty thunder storm come through! In fact - we had a waterspout/tornado too! Luckily, I was able to get through the class before the power went out!

In fact, the last two days have been crazy for weather. Major thunder storms - 3" of rain just yesterday! We do need the water, but if we could just spread it out a bit, I think it would be easier to take! (Today is sunny - yay!)

That's about it for me...the kids are good. Ryan's a menace, Megan is just as sweet as can be. I'm sure we'll have more to post later - especially with Megan walking everywhere. It's just so cute to see her little legs get her around! :)

Cursed Blue Jumper!

(WOW! Would you believe that this is our 375th post?)

Megan has this cute little blue jumper that I swear is jinxed. Every time she wears it, disaster (in the form of a mess) is soon to follow. Why I still put it on her, I have no idea.

Today was no exception. I put it on her thinking that since I wasn't going to be here for a few hours (classes started again at NEIT) that maybe she'd make it without incident.

Nope.

Get this, less than 15 minutes before the babysitter was to arrive and I had to leave, I'm getting the rest of my stuff together in the office. Ryan comes in and says, "Megan's a mess." I didn't think anything of it until he said it again and then looked down the hall at her as she walked into the office.

I don't know if the noise that came out of my mouth could be heard by anyone outside of the house - but I'm SURE if it was heard, the police would have been at our door just minutes later! I felt as if I was moving in s.l.o.w m.o.t.i.o.n. as I ran to TRY to keep her away from anything she might touch! Didn't happen though.

The next thing I know, peanut butter is smeared all over Ric's chair, a cardboard box that has some genealogy in it, the large leather chair in the living room, and various hand prints on the carpet! Not to mention my pants!

(I couldn't let the moment go by without taking a picture - and I got a good one, but then the battery on the camera dies!)

So I grab the offending child and throw her in her high chair so that I can at least restrain her while I try to clean her up. (No time to throw her in the tub!) I also grab the OTHER offender - the one who moved his stool from the bathroom to the kitchen - grabbed the peanut butter off the counter - took it into the living room - unscrewed the lid, and then gave it to Megan - and threw him in his room and locked the door. First, so that I wouldn't KILL him, and second so that he'd be out of the way as I cleaned up the mess!

By this time, I'm sweating like crazy, just in time to run out the door and teach my class. I think I must have used half a container of clorox wipes AND half a package of baby wipes to clean her all up! Peanut butter was EVERYWHERE!

My guess is that she's not allergic to peanuts. I'm sure we would have had a worse incident if she was. Combine this with a previous PB episode, and we're pretty sure she's skipped that allergy!

I think, as cute as it is, I'm going to throw that darn jumper away! (None too soon!)

Rude Awakening...somewhat

So THIS isn't what we wanted to see (OR HEAR) when we woke up this morning! Two dudes with headbands and a JACKHAMMER!

For some reason as they were putting the sewer lines in last summer, they buried the manhole in front of our yard. Didn't make sense to us at the time, and it still doesn't! In fact, just two days ago, they paved over the center of the road to build it up for the final paving, AND they dug it up again today to raise the manhole! Hmmm...

Oh well...maybe it's just job security? Who knows...

BUT - all this work and noise does mean one thing...

WE'RE GETTING THAT MUCH CLOSER TO HAVING REAL LIVE SEWERS! Wooooooo Hooooo! (Can you tell that I'm just a little bit excited about that?)

At the same time, they ground up the end of our driveway so when they pave tomorrow, there's a smooth transition!

Ryan got his big truck fix for the day, and I was hoping for some butt-crack pictures, but this is a G-rated, family site. Sooo....maybe next time! hehe :)

This can't be comfortable

Before you say anything, I know it's a terrible picture! I had to point my camera into a dark room and use the flash! (And hope for the best!)

At least the flash didn't wake Ryan!

So check this out...Ryan is sleeping sideways in his bed with one leg over the little "keep the toddler in the bed" rail. I'm sure that's not how it's supposed to be used...AND I'm sure that's not comfortable!

Oh well...he's napping, AND without a fight today! Yippeeee!

Where are Dad's drill bits?

Ric has said more than once that Ryan was put here mess with his tools just like he messed with his Dad's tools!

The other night, we were all outside. Ric was doing something with his drill, and the thing that holds his drill bits were sitting on a box in the garage. Of course, with everything going on, neither of us noticed that the drill bits disappeared!

Here's how the rest played out...

Ric: (holding up the thing that's supposed to hold the bits) Hon? Any idea where my drill bits are?

Me: No idea... (looking over at the most likely culprit)

Ric: Ryan? Where are Dad's drill bits?

Ryan: (without skipping a beat) In the hose.

At that point, I'm covering my mouth so I don't laugh too hard and encourage him even more!

Ric then picks up the garden hose, dumps it over and all the drill bits come tumbling out.

Ric: Why did you put the bits in the hose?

Ryan: (Again, not missing a beat) To wash them!

DUH! hehe

Who wouldn't want THIS?

WOW! Check this out! I just stumbled upon this blog, but look at the GORGEOUS quilt she's giving away! Of course, I'm entering, AND telling you all about it. Why not? Go check it out yourself...you can click the picture above to see all the details.

What NOT to do with your ice maker at home

All of a sudden the ice maker in the refrigerator stops working and I have no idea why. Then it occurs to me to dig around inside of it looking for some sort of reason as to why it no longer delivers ice to me. After reaching inside the ice holding container I realize what it was that got in there to bind up the motor and delivery unit...

It would be the bottle of water I put back in the freezer to cool it down for the next time. After I removed the ice and eventually the thawed bottle of water, the machine works fine now.

Online Backup = Peace of Mind!

So, I've always preached the benefits of backing up my PC, but never really put it into practice...until now!

*Marni gets up on her soap-box!*

I've finally found a service that's PERFECT for backing up my PC because I don't have to do anything! The company is called Carbonite.com.

It's an online backup service - for ONLY $49.95 a year! (Less if you pay for more than one year at a time.)

Here's how it works...

First, you can sign up for a 15 day free trial. The first thing they do is create a FULL backup of your PC - the important files and ALL of My Documents, your Desktop, etc. For me, the entire backup took about 3 1/2 days. Yes, it takes that long because they can only encrypt and backup so many gigs a day! Once that is done, every file on my PC is marked with a little green "dot" at the bottom, showing me that it was backed up.

Now, I don't have to do anything! (Not that I did before!) It's a dynamic backup, meaning that every time I make a change, Carbonite checks for me and backs it it up! It doesn't slow my machine down because it backs up when my PC is idle.

If anything ever happens to my hard drive, etc. I just connect to Carbonite and the files are restored. Even better, I can restore to another machine if I want to. The files are backed up in two places - so if THEY have a disaster, they also have a backup! Cool huh?

In my (humble) opinion, if I lost my documents, they could be recreated - with a little pain and suffering. If I lost ANY of the pictures I've taken of my kids, I'd be devastated. Those cannot be replaced, and they are priceless to me. So, paying only $49.95 a year (not per month) is NOTHING compared to the peace of mind I now have because everything is backed up! :)

OK...back to your regularly scheduled blog posts - I'm stepping down from my soap box! hehe

If you ARE interested in trying this out - use THIS LINK: http://www.carbonite.com/raf/signup.aspx?RAFUserUID=420082 - it gives me credit for referring you to them (and free months of backup services!) You can do the same and refer your friends too!

By the way, the thing I'm checking into right now is backing up more than one PC - since Ric has his own PC. I'll let you know the details when I find them!

Edited to add: I have a friend who just had a hard drive crash and had to use Geek Squad to recover (almost) everything - the cost was OVER $800-$1000 to do it. A lot more than if he had been using Carbonite! Eeeeek! (Yes, he does use it now!)

One foot in front of the other

Yep - Megan is taking her own steps now! Only a couple at a time, and only when she's prompted to do it. My guess is that by the end of the week, she'll be zooming all over the place!

Ryan keeps asking to go on the plane again. I guess it wasn't a traumatic experience! Ric was great at telling him what was going to happen - his ears were going to feel funny - there would be a big bump when we landed. Ryan wasn't scared at all!

Just another Thursday around here...at least the humidity has gone away for a while!

(Soon...we'll post video of Miss Muffin walking around!)

Traveling with 2 SMALL children - a post trip analysis

OK, after surviving 4 plane rides total, here's what I'd do again and what I'd do differently.

Things I'd keep the same:

Thanks to Andie for this GREAT tip - I went to the dollar store before we left and bought a whole bunch of things to keep the kids occupied. If I had to, I pulled out something new. We even had new things for the trip home!

Things I wouldn't do again:

Take BOTH car seats. I can see how this would work perfectly for one child, but it didn't work for us. Yes, they were both comfortable in their seats, but we were outnumbered! Two adults, 2 kids (one that needed to be carried all the time, and the other one that had to be "wrangled" all the time), two carry ons (one with all the diaper paraphernalia and the other with all the dollar store goodies and treats) strapped to our backs, AND 2 BIG BULKY car seats just isn't practical! There was no way we could get on to and off the plane easily. We did have a luggage cart that we strapped the seats to when we were in the airport, but there was nothing we could do but haul the seats down the aisle one by one. It was a REAL PAIN! So... this Fall when we go to Florida for a wedding, we will try the little CARES harness thingy (if we can still borrow it!) for Ryan and we'll hold Megan. We'll rent car seats at the other end if we have to!

And Ric's Answer...

Go alone without the kids! :)

Overheard this afternoon....

Ric and I were talking about some music that he'd like to download...

Dad: Yeah, it's from the new Ryan Adams CD, I only want that one song

Ryan: (walking away from us down the hall) I'm not Ryan Adams!

-----------------------------------------

Before we left for Utah, I took these pictures. Ryan has to be just like his Daddy! I especially like the one where you can see our neighbor (Hi Aaron!) across the street mowing too! hehe

Home Sweet (HUMID!) Home!

We're back - and it's SOOOO good to be home. After the not so enjoyable flights yesterday, it was really nice to sleep in our own beds!

We had such a WONDERFUL time in Utah with our family. We really didn't want to come back! (Part of that may have been that we weren't looking forward to the flight back.)

Unfortunately, when we got to the SLC Airport, we found out that our flight to Baltimore was delayed an hour because of the weather on the East Coast :( That meant that an even more tired 2-year old was going to get restless, which he did.

In fact, both of them were pretty tired and unruly once we got on to the plane. Combine that with the fact that it was a FULL flight (Megan didn't have an extra seat and had to sit on our lap for 5 hours) meant that it was time for Benadryl! Wooo Hooo!

They slept most of the way, but Ryan kept waking up crying and talking in his sleep. We survived it though and we did make it to our Providence flight. All in all, we were home by about 11:30 pm - exhausted!

Before we left we stopped at my sister Kaylynn's house one more time to see them. Ryan LOVED the fact that Tyler played baseball with him. And both Railee and Tyler had to hold their littlest cousin again.

Ryan has pretty good form for a little guy! But the funniest part is that he wouldn't take his "B" out of his mouth for anything! Hmmm... I don't think that Manny started his career that way!

(By the way...as I type this, Ryan is sitting on the potty. Maybe seeing his cousins do it was a little bit of inspiration! We'll see! NO, he's not a potty stalker, I'm sure that Brandon wasn't all that discreet. hehe)

I also snapped a picture of the beautiful dog that's staying with them temporarily, her name is Kaya and she's a Malamute Mix. She's a total sweetheart, and loved licking Ryan's face! Hmmm... maybe that means I need to clean it more often! :)

We had a great time - and can't wait to see you all again! WE LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH!

(We especially miss the DRY air! It's like walking around in Orange Juice here!)

Riding along with a Utah Highway Patrol

Today, I got to spend a couple of hours early this morning going for a ride with my brother-in-law Matt who is a Utah Highway Patrol trooper. We left the house about 8:45am for two hours before I had to come back home and get dressed for church (yes, I did go to church today while on vacation).

Matt gave me a tour of the gear and equipment in the patrol car and demonstrated how he can clock cars for speeding on radar both behind and in front of him; the trick is to visually locate the vehicle that the radar has clocked so it takes some practice. As part of the standard procedure, Matt had to give me a list of instructions and sign a waiver before we left in case of any trouble. This included how to remove the shotgun from the roof-rack. That was a little surprising, but made plenty of sense considering the potential circumstances. However, the release button didn't work so he showed me where his back-up pistol was.  Since I am an experienced shooter, this didn't seem like a big deal to me to operate it.


So in the 2 hours we were out, we pulled over a few speeders and a couple of moving violators and handed out a couple of speeding tickets. It's amazing that although the speed limit was 75mph, people were still speeding upwards of 85-90mph; I guess the fuel prices aren't bad enough for them (yet). Matt works a 10 hour shift and it was great to ride along for just a part of it. I'll do it again in the future when we return some day. Thanks Matt!

Ric

Fun in the Police Car

My brother-in-law, Matt, is a Utah Highway Patrolman.

When he finished his shift this afternoon, he brought Ryan over to check out all the "buttons" on his car! (And made him a Junior Patrolman in the process!)


He was just as excited about turning the headlights on as he was the lights on top of the car!

With the flashers going.

There's Matt & Ryan! Ric got to ride along with Matt for a couple of hours this morning before Church. I'm sure he'll post his own experience, but he said that it was really interesting.

Thanks Matt for the pictures!

If you ever want to torture Megan...

...put her in the grass!

Notice that one foot is off the ground. She just doesn't like how it feels on her toes!



When she sits...she tries to lift both feet! Too funny!


By the way...THIS is REAL grass to me. (Kentucky Bluegrass) It's so thick and cool, I've never seen grass like this in Rhode Island!

Gas-Powered Horses

We pulled out Grandpa's 4-wheeler and took it for a spin around the yard. (Yes, even I rode it for a while, but luckily, no pictures were taken!)

It was hard to keep Ryan off of it - he loved riding around and around.

Even Grandma had some fun with it!

Mom and Megan just watched! :)

Ride 'Em Cowboy!

Ryan had the chance to get up close and personal with some horses yesterday! This is a better picture of the Clydesdale from the other day.



Andrew getting Eleanor ready to ride.


Walking her down to the round corral.



Ryan's cousin Emily is quite the horsewoman! She can make the horse do just about anything she wants her to do. Ryan jumped on top for a ride with her.






Ryan and Dad.

Mom, Gordon & Adult Kids.



All 16 Cousins! (OK...by this time Megan was asleep, but we all know what she looks like AND that she would not have sat still for this picture!

Happy Independence Day!

For the first time in about 8 years, my ENTIRE family (ALL 25 of us) was together this afternoon! There's so many of us that it's hard to pin everyone down! Rather than bore you with picture after picture... here's a slide show. Enjoy!

Sooo...what have we been up to?

A little bit of everything! :) Besides the eye doctor incident, we've been pretty busy, but not busy enough to relax! The temperature has been either 99 or 101 degrees outside. Because it's so dry out here, it's not horrible to be outside! (In the shade, that is!)

Wednesday morning we spent some time with a dry-pack canner. Canning everything from Oats, to rice, to popcorn and dried apples! The kids had to help too. Here's Ryan with his cousin Allison - who is 6 months older than he is. (And if you can believe it - more blond than he is!)

We have a lot of friends who live in RI temporarily for medical residencies, and then move back to wherever when they are done. Rustin and TeNeale and their 3 kids now live back here, so we visited for a little while. Unfortunately, we didn't take many pictures, but we had a great time visiting.

Our little musician, Megan, decided that she LOVED Guitar Hero and hopes we'll get it for OUR family too! (Yeah right!) She didn't stop bouncing the whole time the kids were playing with it!

(Thanks for having us over! We really enjoyed catching up and seeing your new little one!)

After visiting our friends, we stopped by the Jordan River Temple since Ryan hasn't been to one up close. (Not worth the hour drive to just look at the outside in Boston!)

This temple is located in South Jordan, Utah.

Of course, he just wanted to play in the fountain!

Ryan has enjoyed going out in the morning to pick peas with Grandpa Gordon or whatever is ready to be harvested.

Last night we set up a tent for today's festivities (BBQ with the WHOLE FAMILY! Just wait until we post pictures of THAT!)

Ryan did his best to help with every bungee cord he could find.

And then he had a ball running in and out (and in and out...)

Here's a view from the inside.

The neighbor behind us is pretty much a real cowboy...he's got half a dozen horses and other livestock. (More pictures to come once the kids have some fun with them.)

But last night he brought Patches, his 20-year old, Clydesdale over to hook her up to a trailer. The kids will ride on it today.

Yes...if you can believe it, there will be more to come. :)

We interrupt this vacation...

...for a trip to the eye doctor! (You're not going to believe this one!)

Somehow, two nights ago, Megan scratched my cornea with her fingernail. It was in the middle of the night while we were sleeping. She woke up, I turned over to find her binky or something, and she caught my eye just right.

Well, yesterday I woke up knowing that something wasn't quite right, but I thought that my eye was just irritated. Nope...as the day went on, it got worse. By the time we got home from visiting some friends at about 9:30 last night, my eye was completely red, watering, and pretty painful!

I didn't want to go to a walk-in clinic because I knew that they'd just say that I needed to go to an eye doctor. So when we got home, I asked my mom if they knew one. She immediately picked up a phone and called Dr. Rowley (who is also a member of the Bishopric in their ward.)

In 10 minutes, he was here at the house, putting dye into my eye to see what was wrong. Unfortunately, he saw a cut in my cornea, which meant we had to drive (all the way) to Payson to his office.

He numbed my eye, cleaned it up from the stuff that had accumulated inside the cut (3mm), dropped a bunch of antibiotics in it and then bandaged it with a silicone contact lens. Ahhhhhh... relief! I can take out the contact lens tomorrow, and I'm dropping more antibiotics into it until then. But I'm SO thankful that someone was close by and that I didn't have to go to a clinic or spend the morning today finding a doctor!

...now back to our vacation!

PS - I found out the next day that Brian Rowley, my emergency Eye Doc is a good luck charm! Check out this article! (In case you don't want to click - the only two times he attended ANY Boston Redsox games at Fenway, they were BOTH No-Hitters!)

Daddy's Girl

A couple of cute pictures of Miss Megan with her Daddy. Yep - she's a Daddy's Girl! :)

Spending the day in Fairview - Part 4

Thanks Dad and Gayle! We had a great time - we're so happy that you were able to move your schedule around so that we could see you for a little while!




LOVE YOU!

(Don't you just love this picture of Ryan with his grandpa?)

Spending the day in Fairview - Part 3

Of course, a trip to Fairview wouldn't be complete without a ride in my Dad's 1942 GPW! He's restored it - down to the very last detail!


Ryan had to try on all the hats and helmets.


And sit in the driver's seat.

We didn't go above 30 miles an hour the whole drive, no seatbelts, no car seats, and it was tond of fun!

The temperature was 95 degrees - but it sure doesn't feel like it! When you come from humidity, dry heat like this is actually pleasant!

Spending the day in Fairview - Part 2

What does a person actually DO in Fairview, Utah? Well...this little town is pretty much in the middle of the state, which also means the middle of nowhere! (Notice the little red star?)


(And that's the way my Dad likes it!)


The last time we visited, Ric said he wouldn't come back unless they had livestock or a golf course!


Here's the livestock! (Sheep and even an Elk Ranch.)


There is a golf course, though he didn't play...and of course HUGE dandilion type weeds!

Still...more to come!

Spending the day in Fairview - Part 1

We took the LONG (OK, it's ONLY an hour...) drive from Santaquin to Fairview this morning to visit with Grampa Harry and Gramma Gayle. (My dad and step-mom.) They met us in Mt. Pleasant at the airport to show us his new toy.

Isn't it cute? It's a Rascal 40 - it has a 72" wing span.

So he took it up for a morning flight...can you see it?

Megan actually let Gramma Gayle hold her while I took pictures! (For a little bit anyway!)

Here it is - coming up the runway after landing.


And your pilot today is...Captain Snoopy! Fun stuff! :)

We're Here!

We made it! AND...the flights were uneventful! Both Ryan and Megan were pretty much perfect! Neither had any tantrums, got sick, etc. (Yipppeee!)


It was a little bit of a challenge getting through security with 2 bulky car seats, 2 kids, 2 carry on bags (3 if you count Ryan's backpack), taking off our shoes, etc. By the time we were through, we were running a little late to our gate!

The boarding process was almost done and they stopped the line when they saw us coming! "Hold on - Family coming through!" The flight attendants helped us on with everything, found us 4 seats in 2 rows, and we were off!



When Ryan walked into the plane, of course he had no idea where to go - so he takes a left and walks right in to the cockpit! The pilot just says - "Hey mom, do you have a camera?" Of course! :)


More to come...
