Happy Birthday Joseph!!

Joseph just had his birthday! He is officially 25 years old. There are three months of the year that Joseph and I are the same age and the rest of the year he is old. Unforgettably for him that means he is old until next August. 

We had a three day weekend so we went down to my parents house to celebrate Joseph's birthday which was really fun! My dad offered him a pony, and he got to play farmer for his special day so I think he had a good time. 

We were also able to help out Tory with her first school dance. She wanted to ask a boy do Sadies but she didn't know what to do. So Joseph and I helped out. 

Here is Tory running away after door bell ditching the awesome poster Joseph made. 

Here's the poster. Tory came up with the saying "I mustache you a question" but Joseph painted the sign and I purchased the giant mustache. It looks painted on in the picture but it is actually wired on. Tory hid her name in a pie tin full of shaving creme. 

And that is what is happening in our little lives for now. 

Crafty time

So here are some of the pics of my 'announcement' for my work. Not sure how the last one ended up upside down. It turned out really cute, and it was much easier than I thought it would be. Mostly because Nathan was a very cooperative little human stamp and Sara pretty much did everything. Each little baby foot ghost is labeled as one of the tellers at the bank, and my ghost has a baby green ghost painted inside of it. It will still be another month until we know if it is a pink or a blue blueberry. 

On the up side, I survived my first trimester! It's so crazy how much better I feel than I did a few weeks ago. I come home from work and actually feel like making dinner and cleaning and spending time with Joseph. And I can eat food! Well....much more so than I could a few weeks ago anyway. It's a good thing I've gotten some energy back too, October is a busy month for us.

Other good news, Joseph got a new calling. He is in the Young Men's presidency, over the deacons. The poor ward is in for it. Not much else to report on for the moment. Maybe we'll post again for Joseph's birthday, and if not, for sure by Halloween. 

Yummy!!!

I had the day off work today, because I was supposed to go to SLC to hang out with my Mom at the Dairy Women's convention, but my mom had to cancel  So I decided to get my home maker on for the day since I was home from work. Joseph and I had a rough year with our garden but somehow we managed some very healthy tomato plants, and since there are are very few forms in which Joseph will eat tomato I decided to make Salsa! Yummy! It's a corn and black been recipe so we used our tomatoes and mom and dad's corn and peppers from Andy and Michelle! I've never canned my myself so hopefully they turn out,  but it was sure yummy fresh!!

Other than my adventure pretending to be a little house wife not much has changed. I'm still pretty sick for most of every day (which made peeling tomatoes a real treat let me tell you) but they gave me some medicine that at least keeps me from throwing up every singe day. I still manage to pick work when I do throw up though. I'm pretty sure one of the other girls there thinks I have an eating disorder. I'm working on a little project to announce to my work that I"m having a baby. I'll post it when I finish it.

Oh, and Joseph has a new calling he just got put in the Young Men's presidency, over the deacons. He says he feels right at home. He was very excited to go 'play with his new friends' at mutual tonight. I hope the ward survives them all!
