New Car Tomorrow!

I finally convinced Ben that I need a bigger car after lugging Hyrum in and out killing my back. Ben's stipulation was that baby #2 had to be on the way first...no I'm not expecting...but the deals were too good to pass up so Ben gave in! Tomorrow we hit the road down to Utah to buy our SUV! Ben's playing hooky from work and Ben's sister Becky is graciously (sp?) watching Hyrum so we don't have to haggle with a fussy baby and car dealers. I'm putting my game face on and going to get us a good deal (I'm the negotiator of the two of us). We are probably going to get a Honda Pilot-the one we like has a navigation system, leather, heated seats, 4wd, moonroof! I've never had such a fancy car! The real incentive is the 4wd. It is snowing right now after being 70 the past few days. Yuck! Wish spring was here for good. We'll post pictures when our king car arrives!

Big Helper

Hyrum is quite the helper when it comes to laundry. He has to be everywhere I am so naturally I cannot do the laundry in peace. I have put him to good use though. He likes to stand in front of the open drier as I put clothes in or take clothes out. He likes to help take the wet ones out too. I thought these pictures were funny though because he has never climbed in the basket to accompish this task before. Warning-laundry is in the pictures!

We went to the Jazz game last Friday night and it was a blast! The first half was shaky as the Jazz were down by 19 at one point. We had a huge comeback in the second half though! We got a free t-shirt at the game. They were parashooting t-shirts down from the rafters and one managed to float over to us. We weren't even trying too hard to grab it. I'm amazed no one around us grabbed it first! We had interesting company at the game. We had the two already drunk twenty somethings sitting next to Ben offering him a shot at every basket made! Then, on my side I had the old couple that was way too big for their seats that had who knows what all over them (stinky). We did have awesome seats though and we loved it! We went to the SLC temple the next day which was a huge session. Every other time we've gone it has been us and maybe one other couple! The room was packed and it was great! Well, Hyrum is awake so off I go!
