Nathan Fell in the Mud.
The weather here has been pretty nice lately. The kids enjoy playing outdoors. Especially Noah and Nathan. Noah and Nathan have a little ‘fort’ that they hang out at. (There’s a pile of logs about 50 yards from the house) Nathan was playing out there, and then came in and told me that he fell in the creek. Holy cow. What a mess.
Noah and Nathan got their shoes stuck in the mud too. It is not fun to clean, but at least they seem to enjoy themselves.


Mypyramid.gov
So in Webelos for the fitness activity badge we have to track the food that we eat. The hand book recommended that we go to mypyramid.gov. I have gone to the site and I have been on it every day for the last 2 weeks. I enter in my food intake, and I enter in my exercise, and then it calculates how many calories I spent. It is so fun I think I’ll turn anorexic. Na, I like M&Ms, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Cookies, Wendy’s, and Ice Cream too much.

Jocie being a Doula
Jocie is helping people (usually girls) have babies lately. She helped someone have a baby the middle of December. She will probably help someone else have a baby on 12/31. In order to be a certified Doula, you need to go through the training classes and then attend and write up about 6 births. Jocie has attended the training and will have attended 2 births. Jocie would be happy to attend 6 births before our baby is born.

Name for the Baby
We haven’t picked out a name for the baby yet.
(Jocie- And when we do, we won’t tell you!)
Katie says: Baby
Nathan says: Belle or Nathan
Sarah says: Marsha or Beebor/Luke/Ham/Bill
Mark says: Sally or Rock
Noah says: Esther or Nephi
I wanted Diamond or Stone, but Jocie has turned down both of them
