Family History TuesdayZ | Having a Baby

Journal prompt: Write about the time you found out you were having a child.

Journal prompt: Write about the time you found out you were having a child.Journal prompt: Write about the time you found out you were having a child.



Family History TuesdayZEach Tuesday, I am going to be offering prompts or ideas. If you don’t write in your journal regularly – I am going to encourage you to write just ONCE A WEEK and answer the question/idea that I give on Tuesdays. These ideas hopefully will spark a memory and you will be able to capture that in what you write/record so that it can be left for your children/grandchildren/family/friends. Give as much detail as you can when answering.

Will you do this for me? Will you do this for your families? You can write it down in a journal, you can type it up on a computer or journaling software, you can take a recorder and talk, you can videotape your answers, you can even scrap a page with the journaling. It doesn’t matter how you do this – it’s just important that you do it. The memories, the dates, the information is the only real thing we can leave to our families when we are gone.

Life 365 | Week 8

Monday, February 15, 2010
feb15We did some deep cleaning of the house today. It was such good weather – it almost felt like Spring. It really felt great and after being sick all last week, it felt good to get the house all clean and sterilized and aired out.

Tuesday, February 16, 2010
feb16Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen and Uncle Lane and Uncle Clint arrived today to spend a couple of days. It was great to get to visit with them. We got some KFC take-out, played some Wii and just visited.

Wednesday, February 17, 2010
feb17A busy day today. Grandpa and Grandma and Lane went to to Salt Lake City to do some shopping, take care of some business, and a special banquet for Lane. Clint got to hang-out with us all day. We took Beth to school and Clint got to play some more Wii. We then picked up JJ and Beth and took them to the dentist. Later JJ had Cub Scouts and we got some pizza while Grandpa and Grandma went to dinner with Max and Janice. I also had my Wednesday night crop.

Thursday, February 18, 2010
feb18Grandpa and Grandma and Lane and Clint left for home today. It was so nice to have them here. Beth and I did a project today for her school. Tomorrow is Beth’s 100 Days of School and they were asked to create something with 100 things. We decided to make a beautiful bead necklace with Beth’s favorite colors – purple, pink, and red. It turned out great. Joey came home from work feeling really awful and barely able to walk – another gout flare-up. Later coming up the hall to the bedroom, he gave me a scare by passing out. But he came to – pretty quickly and we got him to bed. It was a pretty awful night.

Friday, February 19, 2010
feb19Joey worked from home today. It was a real awful night and his ankle is so swollen and it is hurting him a lot. We took him to the doctor and now it might not be gout. They aren’t sure what it is. They took some fluid out of his ankle and there was lots of blood, so it is pretty scary and it was so painful. But after getting all that out of his foot – he feels a lot better. We will have to wait for the fluid to get tested before we will get answers on what it could be. But he felt better so he was able to go do his podcast tonight. We also got to babysit Kalissa all day. She is very cute and it was fun to have a baby in the house. After school, Beth enjoyed getting to play with her and feed her! She was a great little helper!

Saturday, February 20, 2010
feb20The kids like to put on “shows” for Joey and I. They are so funny. They spend tons of time getting everything ready and then when they start the show they get so nervous. Today’s show was JJ’s magic tricks (where he pretends to make cards disappear) and Beth’s Storytelling from her books. They were cute at the end where they took hands and gave a bow! I spent the morning and early afternoon at the Stake Center for a Women’s Conference where we had a luncheon and some classes. The women in our ward choir sang a song at the opening session and it was really nice to be able to participate in that.

Sunday, February 21, 2010
feb21Joey’s foot is still hurting pretty badly, so he wasn’t able to go to church with us today. I had to sing in Sacrament meeting so I left the kids home with Joey – went and sang and then came and got the kids for Primary. Later, the kids looked so cute cuddling up to their dad today for our family movie.

And here is my weekly layout:
week8I used my “Polka Dot Frenzy” to create this layout!

Life 365 | Week 4

Grandpa and Grandma left today and the kids were very sad to see them leave. We’ll have to plan a trip to go down to see them soon. Since today was a holiday, Joey didn’t have to go to work. So we just hung out at home the rest of the day. For Family Home Evening, we got out the Disney Scene-It Game that Lane gave us and we had a blast playing it.

It’s been snowing for the last couple of days and so it’s really been nice to just hang out at home. But this is what our driveway looks like now – Grandpa finally got our van fixed and they brought it back to us when they were here this last weekend! It is so AWESOME to have both vehicles now. I don’t have to get up early and get Joey to work when I need the car. Love it! Thanks Grandpa for all your work!

We got out the play dough and cookie cutters after school today and the kids had a blast! It kept them occupied for a couple of hours!

We got to babysit Mallory again today. She is just adorable and I’m so glad for the opportunity to get to be with her and to help out Cody and Becki. Beth loves to just hold her!

I finally broke down and got us a waffle maker. Joey and I are more pancake eaters, so I just never thought about getting a waffle maker, but Beth loves waffles. So I finally got one and we had waffles tonight. Beth was so delighted!

We went to Salt Lake City today and spent time with Brandon and Sabrina. It was Brandon’s 30th birthday and so we played some Wii, ate pizza, and visited before they headed off to a hockey game. They sent us home with lots of this yummy cake from Costco! So good!

Today was a really great day! The Colts won the AFC Championship and it was a great game! Joey and I totally watch football differently- I am pretty vocal – Joey is very quiet. But this small smile of Joeys at the end of the game said it all! We are going to the Super Bowl! Go Colts!

 

And here is my weekly layout:

Life 365 | Week 3

Monday & Tuesday, January 11-12, 2010
jan11-12
I feel so lost without my computer! I’ve spent these 2 days on Joey’s computer playing games on Facebook! I just can’t seem to be motivated to do anything else!

 

Wednesday, January 13, 2010
jan13
I finally pulled myself away from Facebook and worked on cleaning the house. Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen are coming this weekend so we decided to get the air mattress out and get everything set up. Beth loved playing around me as I cleaned up.

 

Thursday, January 14, 2010

We got to babysit Mallory today and Beth loved being able to feed her. It was so fun to have a baby in the house!

 

Friday, January 15, 2010
jan15
So I finally got my computer back and started getting things caught up – and then it suddenly wouldn’t turn on. I had to take it back to Simply Mac again. This is so frustrating!

Joey went to do his podcast tonight and after I finished some cleaning I just didn’t feel like making dinner – so we decided to try Dominos new pizza. It was much better than their old pizza and I really love their Pasta bowls! Yummy!

 

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Lane and Clint arrived today! It was so nice to see them and be together. We had a late Christmas party since we didn’t get to go down to see them during the holidays. The kids were so excited to get to open some more presents. Lane had our family’s name and he gave us the Disney Scene-It Game and JJ got a Thomas the Train and Beth got a My Little Pony. Grandpa and Grandma gave us food for our food storage (Flour, canned goods, pasta, etc.) and the kids got new fleece blankets that Grandma and some other little things. I made homemade rolls and chicken noodle soup for dinner and we all enjoyed catching up. Lane and Clint loved playing the Wii with us too!

 

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Grandpa, Grandma, Lane and Clint visited with Cody and Becki while we went to church and then we visited at our house for awhile. For dinner we went to Cody and Becki’s house where we had waffles and hash browns and visited. Aunt Becki is definitely my kids’ favorite – she sat and read them story after story!
