10-30-2011 Week in Review…

So, I’ve been/am sick with this pregnancy so I’ve gotten over a month behind on my blog and who knows if there are even pictures to fill in most of the blanks.  I do have some from this week but no promises on the coming ones!  Oh, and explanations will be brief and I can’t really remember all we did…

Monday I went to see a memory specialist.  They ran all kinds of fun tests and I was actually enjoying myself.  Not that often I get to really really use my brain.  Final result?  Doc says I don’t have memory problems.  In fact, she said I had the best memory she’d seen in there and that I tested off the charts.  LOL  Now the difference between this and real life is…most of the time the stuff I forget is stuff someone didn’t just tell my I had to remember and tell back to them in a few minutes.  I’m not in a quiet room with no distractions focusing on remembering everything.  Plus, she didn’t ask me to give her the names of all my old friends or pull of some fun memories from my childhood.  Some of those are missing, too!  Anyway, obviously the test couldn’t be perfect but what she did tell me was that when I want to remember something I can and that the only issue she saw was that I have a bit of attention issues.  She blames all my memory problems on, I guess, that I may be ADD!!  I already knew that!  But maybe that’s part of the problem.  Guess I’ll have to try harder to remember stuff from now on since I’m apparently capable.  Now that I’m pregnant is there any way for them to tell if I have memory problems? I mean, as soon as I get pregnant I usually lose my brain anyway…

For FHE we got pumpkins for the kids and did some carving!!  So fun…

There is video of all this but my brother is going to help me fix the sound first.  The audio on it was terrible – my fault.

Thursday was my dad’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Dad!!

I spent most of the day visiting with a good friend.  One of the few days this week I wasn’t feeling horrible!!

Friday was our ward Trunk or Treat!!  It was also my baby sister, Naomi’s birthday!! Happy Birthday, Naomi!!  Also, Sylvie had her 3 year checkup (a little late).  34 lbs and 34 inches tall.  She’s a square. lol  I also volunteered at the elementary school for a bit.

OK, Back to the party…  Meet the woodland fairy and the doctor.

10-23-11 Week in Review (I’m WAY behind…)

Monday I was excited to go and work the Right to Life booth at the State Fair.  However, I just wasn’t up to it so I sent Dade in my place.  He had a great evening and did a fantastic job.  I’m so thankful for a son who’s wiling to not only stand up for what he believes but willing to do it in such a public setting with only a few moments notice.  My kid rocks.

Tuesday I took Dade to the oral surgeons to have his wisdom teeth looked at.  We were all ready to sign up until they showed me what the bill would be…anyone need a kidney? I think I’m going to be selling one of mine….

Ryan finally had a chance to cook up our Steak dinner.  I was so queasy that I almost didn’t keep it down but it was too good to not finish….

Wednesday the girls were wonderful and quietly sat doing puzzles together all day.  Just the break I needed!

Friday was the youth Halloween dance.  Dade had the most awesome costume EVER.

Somewhere, I hear, there are pictures from the dance of Dade actually dancing with one of the Bishops on his shoulders!!

Saturday was Stake Conference and Ryan and I were both able to attend the adult session.  It was so nice to sit and listen!!  Afterwards we headed over for a VERY LATE night of star gazing with some good friends.  There was a fantastic meteor shower going on and we saw SO many!!

While we were at Conference my sweet niece was born!!

Sunday we went to go meet new baby Caroline and then spent some much needed time at the park!!

Then off to the park!!
