I'm in Las Vegas last weekend and get a call from my husband that went something like this:
Michael (in a very shaky and upset voice): "I haven't wanted to call you, but I have a problem...... (I'm thinking that maybe one of our children cracked their head open or something).... I can't find Conner".
When he called, he had already searched our entire house a few times for about 45 minutes. He continued to look (me calling every few minutes) for the next hour and a half with the help of neighbors, friends, and the police (who called out for a helicopter). Finally, thankfully one of our friends found Conner hiding in our bathroom standing between the shower curtain and liner. He had been standing there for almost three hours with his pants down. His Dad had given him a cold shower the day before for pooping in his pants, and we think he might have been scared to get one again so he decided to hide. He found the perfect place where it was very very difficult to find him. The friend that found him saw his little fingers through the crack in the bathroom door. ....Can you believe that he stood there for so long, and with his pants down. It was a crazy and terrible morning, mostly for Michael (poor guy!). We are SO glad that everything turned out okay.

What a cool Grandma!

My Grandma Monson is the coolest 93 year-old that I know. Ever since I can remember, she has had silly glasses. Her collection has definitely grown over the years and my kids know Grandma Monson as "the grandma with the funny glasses". We had a nice day a couple of weekends ago attending the temple and visiting Grandma. I love my Grandma and admire the amazing person that she is.

Halloween is OVER, Yippeee!!

Here are our favorite parts about Halloween 2007.....
Braden: Trick-or-treating at Mrs. Huff's house (kindergarten teacher) and handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
Conner: Trunk-or-treating and winning cupcakes at the Cake Walk at Tim and Brittnee's church party.
Haley: Eating WAY too much candy. She's only one, but definitely knows and wants candy when she sees it.
Michael: Also eating WAY too much candy (complained of having a sick stomach last night in bed because of all of the candy). Watching our boys hand out candy.
Zipporah: Seeing my cute kids all dressed up and excited, but SOOOO glad that it is over. Glad for an empty schedule the next two days. We were SO busy with parties that it just got very exhausting. ....Hope you all had a fun Halloween.
