Thanksgiving

Ame was really into Thanksgiving this year. She wanted to help with everything, from baking to table setting. She even made little turkey place settings for everyone. It was so fun to see her interest and curiosity, as she learned more and more about Thanksgiving, the traditions and the reason for this Holiday.

Friday night we met my aunt in salt lake and all went to eat and had planned to go to Temple Square. Unfortunately not all of us made it there. After eating we went to our cars to get all bundled up, so we could ride trax to the temple. Well, as we were walking through the parking lot, lets just say Kaipo's dinner must not have agreed with him because it ALL came up. We decided we should just take him home, so my parents took Ame and we left. We were really bummed to have to leave, but I guess I should be thankful he didn't throw up in the car or after we were on the train to the temple, right?! AMe and my parents had a great time despite the cold. A quick story about something Ame said on their visit to temple sq. After walking around and seeing the lights they wanted to go inside & see the big statue of Jesus, but it was soo crowded so they didn't get to. But my mom was asking Ame were Jesus really is. She replied, "He is in Heaven, AND somewhere else. My mom curiously asked, where else? Ame said, "In your heart." Thats my girl!

HELP!

Well my little mischevious boy has hit another milestone,
but this one I wish he never discovered. Today I put him
down for a nap and went to the garage to vacuum the car.
A few minutes later Ame came out and said kaipo's light
is one and I think he is out of his bed. I said, "What?"
She replied, "I guess he remembered what I taught him."
Sometime last week she told me they were playing in his
crib (don't ask me why) and she taught him how to climb out of his crib, or I think she climbed out and he watched very carefully! Either way, when I walked in his room he was playing with some toys on the floor. I got mad at him and put him back in his crib, and he did actually go to sleep this time. But......I didn't have this problem with Ame and I wasn't planning on putting Kaipo in a bed yet. I guess I will see if this is a one time thing or if he tries it again, before I make any drastic changes. Any suggestions?

New Ward

Since we moved to Ogden we have been debating where we want to attend church, our ward in this area or the ward in Riverdale (where we are building our house). We decided, mostly for the kids sake, to start attending the Riverdale Ward, rather than have to switch wards again in 3 or 4 months. That was the best decision we could have made. I love the ward! It is really the first ward (besides our Maui ward) that we really liked and felt instantly connected. I went to Enrichment this past week and met some very fun girls. There are like 5 or 6 other girls having babies within a month or 2 of me. There are tons of young families, and some older ( a good balance), so we are really excited. The kids seems to be adjusting and liking it as well. Unfortunately-Kaipo already seems to be the bully in nursery. On a positive note, there are lots of little girls in that ward, perfect for Ame.
We will post some pics of our house, once more than the foundation is done.
