Miscarriage #3

Miscarriage yet again. This one was a little harder since around 6 weeks there was a heartbeat that we could see. Exactly 1 week after there was no heartbeat. Miscarriage happened today while visiting my in laws for the thanksgiving break. I was emotional the entire holiday but was still welcomed with open arms and warms hugs.

With the priesthood blessing that I received 2 weeks prior - that's what made it easier to handle. I was less stressed and worried and it helped me with an eternal perspective during the whole pregnancy process and so forth. We are truly blessed to have great doctors, one of the top 10 hospitals in the country, and great insurance. We thank the Lord each day for our miracle daughter and hope that if it be his plan that we have at least 1 additional child. We are comforted by the spirit daily and are VERY grateful for what we DO have.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2014

This Halloween was Talia's first time Trick or Treating. McCord got to take her. She also came to my work to show off and make me look good. Ha ha ha. So many fun pictures were taken. She had SO much fun in her "fairy" outfit and she loved having the wings on. She was well behaved and such an angel all day long. 

After Talia went to bed McCord and I had deviled eggs, mushroom dip, and soda pop. We watched Hotel Transilvania and a little part of Casper. Was a relaxing evening after trick or treaters died down. What a great way to end the holiday. 

New 02 Nissan Altima - engine blew!

with the hard year we have faced, we had more spontaneous bad news. The new Nissan that we purchased last night had a rod that blew in the engine less than 12 hrs after we bought it. We were stranded in sardine canyon by Mantua.  We grabbed trash from the side of the road and walked down to the creek and filled up what we could to dump it in the car and in the radiator to help cool it down. We felt resourceful.😉

Bad news is that the poor new car of ours is totaled due to the engine.

We were fortunate to have puttered inch by inch through the hills of the canyon after cooling it down and it finally stopped in Wellsville. Tristan came to pick us up and we had a tow take the car to the nearest shop. We were so grateful for nice people. Hopefully we will be able to fix the engine soon. We are down to 1 car (with horrible gas mileage) again. At least we have the Aggie Rodeo. Life sometimes feels hopeless. For us, we'll, these last 9-10 months have been the lowest we've been in a long time. We have hope and faith that things will get better though.

Time Out For Women 2014

Time Out For Women (TOFW) was just amazing this year. The theme was Shine and it was awesome! I had so much fun taking a few hours to personally enrich my soul and strengthen my testimony and spirit. The talks were amazing. Just wonderful. Here are the pictures that I attached with two of my favorite quotes from the conference.

Idaho Falls Weekend

Talia Potty Trained

Just a post to say how proud I am of Talia. She decided to start potty training last Friday evening and went by herself on the toilet. We then said ok I guess we are potty training now. I took her to the store Saturday morning and we bought some supplies that she picked out and we went over how to go potty etc. she then had a rougher time Saturday getting going, but has done famously the whole week long with <3 accidents per day each day this while week. She has really embraced the training and has done SO well! We are beaming with pride and joy for her as she has reached this new phase in life.

"Potty wise for toddlers" is a great tool that we have been using to help train her. I highly recommend it.

Summer Rain - I love it!
