So Tanner had his 2nd Ultra-sound and VCUG at Primary Children's yesterday. It was much better than last time. I highly recommend sedation if your child ever has to go through with it. Brooklyn also had to have it done once when she was about 2 years old and it was horrible. She wasn't sedated and she screamed the entire time.

and the Oscar goes to...
I had a dinner and each menu item was themed around one of the nominees for best motion picture. I think it turned out very well thanks to some great input from my sister Kelli, sister-in-law Julie, and my good old trusty mom!
First up we had "127 hours" - It was about a hiker who got stuck in the desert/mountain under a rock here in Utah and ended up having to cut off his arm to escape. (based on a true story actually). I had trail mix - I felt it was a staple to every hikers supplies. My cute nephew Jonas even had a severed hand he was going to give me to put inside with it but I ran out of time and couldn't get it before the party.
Next up is "The King's Speech" - This was about King Henry (I think) and how he had to hire a secret speech therapist to help him with his stutter. Sounds like an interesting story - This also won best picture in case you were wondering. I served English scones with Jam and a Tea Pot was the prop.
The side dish we had was for the movie "Winters Bone" which is by far one of the strangest movies I've heard of. It's also based on a true story about a girl looking for her father whose mixed up with some crazy hill-billy gang. She ends up having to go through some terrible things and I will never see this movie! They end up shooting squirrel and eating in the movie but I didn't really want to do that. Instead I had squirrels as props. We ended up having Debbie's delicious baked beans! They were a hit!
We served popcorn and snacks and voted for who we thought would win - we only ended up watching about 30 minutes of the whole show, but it was still a great night! Let me know if you want an invite to next years party!

Cute little Prayer
Last night my sister in law had her baby. We explained to the kids that the baby came earlier than she was supposed to and wasn't quite big enough. We asked Brooklyn to make sure she said a prayer for mom and baby. This is what was included in her prayer:
Bless we have a good night
bless baby li'jah has a good night
bless laura she has a good night
bless baby she has a good night
bless baby and laura they come home safe when they come home
bless baby li'jah will be a good brother
bless the baby she'll be a good sister
bless baby li'jah and baby will be friends....
So so cute! Today... we've been watching Elijah so his mom and dad could be together at the hospital with the new addition. Brooklyn has been little miss mom. She's given him snacks, made sure he didn't go up and down stairs, hugs him when he falls. And every time he does a silly little cute thing, she runs over to me and says, "baby lii'jah did this mom. Isn't he cute!"
I guess she'll be a great mom. With her "boyfriend" Dan from Virginia if she gets a chance!

Shots for Sale!!
Today, while cleaning the house... my kids opened a shop.
Tanner was the sales man, and Brooklyn a customer.
She must not have been very good because while Mike and I went about our cleaning, Tanner started his sales pitch, and slowly got louder and louder.
"SHOT FOR SALE... only 6 cents. Comes with a case for free! Get it with Vitamins for only 12 cents! GET YOUR SHOT AND FREE CASE HERE. Half price on Saturdays!"
I think we have a born salesman on our hands!

Busy Bees
Now I just have to get ready for another busy weekend. We have a magic show for the primary kids on Saturday morning, and then I'm in charge of our Ward Game night Saturday evening. Hopefully at least a few people will show up!
I can't believe we leave to Virginia in only 2 weeks. I haven't lost any weight for the wedding, and I still haven't made up my packing list. This may be the first trip we've gone on that I haven't been packed more than a week in advance. I don't know why, but packing is my favorite think to do. I love getting everything organized for trips.
Oh... by the way... did I mention to everyone that I've decided to be the PTA president next year? I hope it doesn't kill me!
