3 Months In One

This updating the blog thing I had planned at the beginning of the year is not working out so well.
August 2011
This month seem to fly by. We did not got to Idaho for the fair like we normally do. Chris had to work and we really wanted to support the Night Out Against Crime that Friday evening. Katina had a booth on Prepaid Legal (now Legalshield) and gave out information on this important program. Daniel and Katina spent the first week of August sick with the stomach flu. Both spent a lot of time throwing up and in the bathroom. Good thing Daniel can entertain himself because Katina spent one day sleeping on the couch most of the morning.
September 2011
This month also went by quickly. There was a trip planned to Idaho for RJ's baptism, but due to a planning problem, was cancelled at the last minute. Daniel turned 18 months and was able to attend Nursery for the first time. We had been taking him a few weeks prior, but him staying the entire 3 hours was a big deal. He actually does quite well in Nursery. He really likes the Nursery workers and loves snack time. He has never given them any problems, even when some of the other kids are crying or throwing toys.
October 2011
We started this month by enjoying General Conference and very nice weather for most of the month. We went to Idaho Falls the 3rd week for RJ's baptism and Merritt's ordination to the priesthood. We went to my parent's house afterwards and Katina had to deal with a very scary experience of dealing with a driver who hit and killed 4 of her parent's cows. She felt very grateful for the Holy Ghost in helping her deal with the driver and emergency crews. At her parent's ward on Sunday, they had a musical sacrament meeting where members could go up and share their favorite hymn and the congregation would sing a verse of it. Very cool sacrament meeting!
Katina also spent most of this month looking for some part-time work. She finally found a job doing custodial work at the University of Utah. She works from 10pm-2am Sunday through Thursday. The job actually is not bad and she enjoys it. She doesn't need to find a babysitter or worry about lunches, so it saves on money.
Daniel was a horse for Halloween. He was so adorable. He made quite a hauling on the candy. Chris and Katina did a good job eating the candy Daniel couldn't eat!
I will post pictures later next week. Blogger is so slow at uploading pictures.
