Talia 22 months - March 2013

Texas Roadhouse, Miscarriage #1:

So lucky we got 2 family activities this month. Our family activity was a celebratory dinner @ Texas Roadhouse. McCord and I got the specialty steaks with mushrooms. Talía got a lot of peanuts, Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes (which she loved and it lasted a whole week). She also got a special lemonade and we got virgin margaritas.

Personal journal entry:

Dinner was to celebrate the + test of Baby #2. This baby ended up being a "failed pregnancy" that was finalized on April 10, 2014 (9 weeks). What a great learning experience it was for our family both physically and spiritually. We have felt blessed to have the love and support of family (both sides) and most of all our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! Our faith and love has only grown stronger through the experience!

Amy - Broken Into, Illness struck our family

Our bad luck with cars continue...Amy was broken into last night. Thankfully no damage was done to the car, but the perpetrator left everything in a complete disaster. Everything from the trunk was stolen including our 60 piece Emergency Car Kit that we got this Christmas. Most important thing that was taken was McCord's blue bin full of his Ultimate equipment, discs, and gear. We're very sad about loosing that bin and it may cost us $300 to replace.

In other sad news: illness has struck our household. Talia was sick and throwing up in top of cutting her incisor teeth last week. Yesterday McCord caught the flu and has been in bed all day. He doesn't get sick much but when he does it's BAD and cometely incapacitates him. I have no time to get sick because I am too busy with work and taking care of the other sick family members. Prayers that I don't get sick because that's the last thing we need right now. Also prayers for McCord and Talia so they can be well soon. And curses upon the villain that stole our stuff from our car. 😉

MARCH 21ST: update on "musical cars":

Last 3 months we've been playing "musical cars". We've had 3 new cars, one crashed, one we sold then repossessed for nonpayment, one we bought and then sold again. = "Musical Cars"! 

Amy is now SOLD! We paid $1630 for her and sold her for $1250. We sold her to get our '02 Camry back, which has had $3500+ work done on her. Hopefully we can get trade in value for zippy (yes the buyers fell through for zippy) and then plus the money for Amy plus our tax return and get our good, nice, reliable, fixed up Camry back. Prayers being said and fingers crossed...

Hogle Zoo - Family Activity!

We went to Hogle Zoo (SLC) for our Family Activity in March. It was super awesome! We went in the morning so all the animals were active and most of them being fed. It was so much fun to see all the fun varieties of animals and see Talia's reaction to them all.

Talia's favorite animals: monkeys/baby monkey, elephants, peacocks. 

McCord's favorite animals: hawk that a trainer carried around we got to see up close, rhinos, baby elephant

Lisa's favorite animals: baby elephant, monkeys, and all the animals that were awake. :-)
