Here we are

So I thought instead of trying to catch up on all the happenings, that I would go backwards and start with the most recent.

Thanksgiving, we went toCalifornia and visited with Doug's family for the week. It was so nice to go after knowing Doug would soon be employed by Wells Fargo as personal banker!!! We are so blessed and it is such a huge relief to have this out of the way. Now for me, I have to try to pass my MT exam again. I get 3 times to pass and have 2 attempts left - I definitely underestimated how difficult it was so hopefully, the next time around will be better. For clarification, I passed the objective part with flying colors, but the subjective is very difficult. So good luck to me. Doug is almost done with all his finals and did really well in all of his classes.

Weston is speaking all the time - jibber jabbering away. He has this high-pitched voice that gets him a lot of attention.

Here are a few pics from our trip to Cali - We went to the Zoo, the aquarium, thebeach, etc. My favorite was when we saw seals at the beach. West had never seen or learned about seals. We taught him how they barked and he kept putting his hand behind his ear like an old man and saying, "Say again?" Hilarious.

I'm sorry, but that first picture just shows me that I have the all-time cutest boy ever (minus the bruised teeth). Yes he bruised his teeth, we need to get him to the dentist to get checked out because they are really yellow/green.We used to have a dentist in our ward before West even had teeth and he told us to watch for that because of the jaundice from the liver problems, the teeth can sometimes get that way.

Anyways, we did so many fun things this fall having Doug home. My days seem so much longer without him home, but I do get so much more done (sorry, babe, it's the truth.)

We went to Wheeler Farm with some friends and went on a hayride and picked out a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. We went to Gardner Village with Grandma Mausser and visited the petting zoo. We laughed so hard as West was not afraid at all of the animals. He would put his hand under the goat's chin and pull the goat's face

up to his face to look at him. More to come because surely you have to see the incredible DASH!
