Embarrasing moments...

Who, you might ask, are those men sitting next to me? Well they are paramedics(firemen)of course!
Ok so last night I went to dinner with a bunch of ladies from my ward for Koe's birthday. It was so fun getting to know them and chatting with them until...I passed out in front of all of them! Yes it's true. It was so crazy because I get light headed a lot being pregnant but I've only passed out one other time. They all got really worried and had the manager called an ambulance. By the time I "came to" the fire truck was already on the way so of course they had to check me out to make sure I was fine. Thankfully the firemen agreed with me and said I didn't have to go in the ambulance.
I know I made the ladies in my ward all very worried but just to let them all know I called my doctor's office this morning and the doctor said it was pretty normal for this to happen mid-pregnancy. He didn't even seem to think it was a big deal.
So, now I guess I can chalk this up as just another embarrasing moment. I'm glad I could make it a memorable night for everyone:)
Oh, and I took this picture off Margo's blog. Hope you don't mind Margo!

Friends

Caleb is getting to the stage where he is learning to play and interact with other children. I love to see him laugh and play with them. A couple of weeks ago I went to lunch with some of my good friends. April brought along her little boy and we took pictures. They were so cute together!

Caleb also loves to play with his friend Garrett Tompkinson. Most of the time they do really well together. They have been around each other since they were born so I think they know one another.

Caleb also has a friend named Jeffrey. His mom and I go walking together and Caleb gets so excited to see him in the morning. They often play a game of trying to reach the other one's hand while we are pushing them in their strollers.
Caleb has such a fun personality and I am loving it. He smiles and laughs so much and I am just grateful to be his mother!

Caleb's collection

Yesterday Caleb wanted to go for a walk. He loves to be outside!

Along the way he found some great things to pick up.

Here is his final collection. What do you think?

Seven random things

I know I have done this before but I was tagged again so here goes...

1. I love to save money. I think about every dollar I spend and I rarely buy things unless I feel like I am getting a really good deal. I have to admit that Jared is the same way and sometimes he's worse than me. We have made it through school so far without going into any debt so I guess it's a good thing!

2. I love to hang out and do things with friends. I feel like I have always been blessed to have the greatest friends and it has been a huge blessing in my life.

3. I love Josh Groban's new Christmas CD. Thank you Karli for getting it for me! I have to admit I have already been listening to it and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! (I'm sure some of you are thinking I'm crazy!)


4. I am the second counselor in my ward and I love working with the Young Women. My Beehives have so much energy sometimes I just don't know what to do with them! They make me laugh though.

5. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I'm already getting heartburn really bad at night. Hopefully it doesn't last the rest of my pregancy! Does anyone have any suggestions for me on what to do to get rid of it?

6. I love to be barefoot. I rarely wear shoes around the house. Here in the valley I wear flip flops almost year round because they are so easy to put on and kick off.

7. I am so excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is my favorite time of year because I love to spend time with family. Plus Jared gets time off work (I'm so grateful he has PTO and paid Holidays). It is so nice to spend time together!

Halloween

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been wanting to show pictures of Halloween but we left our camera at the Moore's house when we were there Halloween night. It was a fun evening and I know Jared especially enjoyed it. He loved reminiscing about the time his family lived on that same street. I know he has a lot of great memories from that area. That street has to be one of the funnest places to be Halloween night. Everyone gets into it. One neighbor always shows movies with a projector onto their house. I think Jared and I have gone there every year since we've been married and it's always fun. Sister Moore always makes fresh donuts and TONS of other food. Then everyone sits outside and hands out candy to all of the trick-or-treaters. It's almost a constant flow of kids from 6:30 until about 8:30. We had a fun Halloween.

Jared dressed up as a doctor (how original!) and Caleb was a bee. Here they are getting ready to go.


Let's go! You better catch up because I'm going to get some candy!
