TeamDurr: September 2009

So the past few weeks have been slow for us. We have been kinda sick and things and haven't gotten out much or haven't taken very many pictures. So sorry for no pictures with this post. But I thought I would let everyone that tomorrow I am having my wisdom teeth pulled. I have been super nervous about this and have cancelled 3 times in the past because I was too scared. So like I gave birth without the drugs you think I could get through this...but still scared for some reason. So everyone wish me luck, pray for me, whatever you do, tomorrow. I am gonna need it. So on a lighter note I saw an awesome bumper sticker today on a van at the commissary. It said, "the best health care program starts with breastfeeding." Awesome right? I wanted to leave her a note on her car I loved it so much. Everyone who knows me knows I am a huge breastfeeding advocate. And it is also one of my favorite topics of conversation. People probably think I'm crazy cause I talk about it so much, but I just love it so much! It's like spreading the gospel, something that gives you so many benefits and brings you so much joy, you want to tell everyone about it. And I will talk about it to anyone...I mean anyone, male or female. But anyway now everyone who reads this will know I'm one of those "crazy" breastfeeding mothers. But no I really do love it and no offense to those who don't. But we have had some fun this weekend which I will post about after I get better from the whole teeth pulling episode tomorrow!

So last week went as crazy as the week before. Between surprise babysitting, sickness and locking our only set of keys and my phone and wallet in the car it was a very eventful three days while Ryan was the field. You don't think that many disatrious things could happen in just three days. But we have survived. Thank goodness for road side assistance. We had a fun filled labor day weekend. Ryan had four days off which was a nice break following him being in the field. Friday we went to the Central Texas State Fair along with some friends from Ryan's work. There was lots of yummy food and rides. Caroline rode a pony and got to feed a bunch of goats and whatnot. There were some deer in the petting zoo...random...that kept trying to eat my dress. There was also a baby bison. I think I enjoyed the petting zoo as much as Caroline did. Anyway as you can see from the pictures that follow Caroline had a blast!
On Saturday we had the opportunity to go to San Antonio to help out with the youth's temple trip. First the youth and Ryan and I babysat for a bunch of people in the ward while they attended a session and then we went in to help out with the youth. Our girls were so good in the temple. I was so proud of them. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to perform any ordinances but I did love getting to just be in the temple. It is so beautiful. I meant to take pictures but it never happened. I don't know when we will be able to go again. It is 2 1/2 hours away and it is hard to leave Jack for too long. Afterwards we ate at Marie Callendars!! Mmmm!! After getting lost twice while we were there I think it is save to say we now know our way around San Antonio. It was funny it felt very crowded and busy there compared to our little town here. But I love it there and can't wait to visit again.
So recently Caroline likes to watch home movies that we recorded of various times. She was watching a video of Jack eating his first solids the other day and Ryan turned to camera on Caroline and she is picking her nose. And when Caroline saw that she said, "that girls needs to stop picking her nose." Haha I had to laugh cause that is what I say to her cause her finger is constantly up there. So I said, "doesn't that look grose when you do that, thats why mommy asks you not to do it." We'll see if this will help put an end to the nose picking...I doubt it. Caroline said something else funny today. After dinner Ryan asked Caroline to go wash her hands before she went to play and she said no and he said go or you will be going to bed instead of staying up ect...this so finially Caroline starts to head toward the bathroom on her way she gives rasperrys to Daddy. So Ryan follows behind her to make sure she made it into the bathroom and she doesn't know he is behind her and he hears her mumbling under breath, "crazy daddy making me wash my hands."
