Little pig, little pig, let me in.

For some reason Tommy loves sticks. Not surprising because he really is all boy. Everytime we go for a walk or even go to the car he finds sticks. He will do a quick search and fill his arms with sticks. I always joke that if the power goes out and we need firewood, Tommy is our man. He can find a stick anywhere, even when there is no tree around. Its like his sixth sense or something. I call him one of the three little piggies.

Daddy's Tie

As we were heading out the door to go to our friends birthday party we told Tommy to get ready and put his shoes on. Next thing we know he comes out of our bedroom trying to tie daddy's tie around his neck. He really wanted to wear it. This is the first time he has ever given any prefrence or care to what he wears. I thouhgt that it was cute that he wanted to be like daddy.

New Camera

We finally bought a new camera. Our first digital one in our marriage. Its about time too. Ill be posting more now that I have some pictures to go with it.

Guitar Cake

I did this cake for my friend Jens husbands birthday. It turned out really cool. It was a sour cream chocolate chip chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream frosting. It was the best tasting cake that Ive done so far. Thanks Beth for the recipie.

Update

Sorry, I know its been forever since I blogged. But we did find out that we are having a GIRL! Im really excited about that.

Our new TV

A friend of ours just got a new huge TV and was just going to throw this one away. He asked if we wanted it and we of course said yes. He gave it to us for FREE! We've only had him over for dinner once! I think its a 42". Our old one is a modest 24". It took 3 guys to get it upstairs. I cant even push it. Tommy had fun modeling for me to show you the difference in the size. Now we need a new entertainment center. A really strong one! Now my "So you think you can dance" experience will be that much sweeter. Thanks Rob 3000!
Dave has been wanting a bigger TV since we have been married but we didnt want to spend the money on something like that. This was cool because this Tv wasnt a need, it was a want and Heavenly Father gave us this blessing to let us know that he loves Dave.

Our Crazy Nauvoo Temple Trip

Dave and I drove down to the Nauvoo Temple on Saturday with his sister Leighann. On the way there we got lost and missed our session. We called the temple again and there were openings in the later sessions so we bought a map and ended up driving through Carthage to get to the Temple. When we got to the temple parking lot the car died and we rolled into the closest spot. We thought the car was just overheated so we went to the session and hoped it would have been cooled down by the time we got out. The car was out of coolant so we filled it up and it started again. When we got about 10 min down the road the car died again. We looked under the hood and all the coolant was gone. There was a leak in the radiator. We filled it up again to get it started so that we could get to a gas station. When we got to the gas station the car died again and we barley rolled into a parking spot. We were worried because we were and hour and a half away from home. Within five minutes a tow truck just happened to stop by and ask if we needed help. (All mechanics and tow places closed at noon.) Then another 5 minutes later Leighanns Relief Society President saw us, turned around and asked if we needed help. (She had been in a training meeting in Nauvoo and was on her way home.) This trip could have been a really bad one, but the Lord blessed us for going to the temple and doing service. It was a testimony to me on how we are blessed for doing righteous things. The Lord really does watch out for us and keeps us safe.
