"The Prophet said to get food storage, so that's what we did!"

YAY FOOD STORAGE!

Ta-da! I finally feel like our food storage is about where it should be. I've been trying to buy a few extra things here and there for awhile but it wasn't really working. So instead I just went out and got a lot of things that we needed during the "case-lot madness" that almost every grocery store in town has going on right now. We still have a few more things that we need or want to get but for the most part we are done! I love looking in our storage room at all of our food storage!

I never would've been excited for something like that before I got married, but I am now. There are a lot of things that I never thought I would be interested in. It's unbelievable to think that Ben and I have been married for two years(today! Happy Anniversary us!), that we own a house, that we have an adorable baby boy, and so many other things.

TAFTON PLAYING WITH GRANDPA PASSEY

Speaking of our adorable boy, he had his four month checkup last Tuesday. He now weighs a whopping 18 lbs. 2 oz. and is 26 inches long. The doctor says he is in the 95th percentile for weight and the 90th for his height. He isn't rolling over other than those eight times when he was two months old but he is starting to hold his bottle more and more. Also - he laughed for real for the first time yesterday. I was talking to him about different kinds of vegetables he could eat and for some reason he thought "squash" was hilarious! It was so awesome to hear him laugh a real big kid laugh. I hope he keeps that up!

OUR CHUNKY HUNK

School is in full swing for Ben. He has his first math test tomorrow and he's been studying real hard for it. He's so smart, I'm sure he'll do great on his test. We're so lucky that we have family that can help us out with Tafton so Ben has time to study. Thank you to those that are helping us watch Tafton, you are lifesavers!

TAFTON & AUNT NATALIE

"Just a skiff"

I was waiting for something to finish here on my computer and I was perusing some pictures. I like these Pictures but I think that we need to start taking more good ones of all of us, we are too dang cute not to... Soon we'll be able to post some videos. I can hardly wait to capture Taft's
awesomeness and post it here. This Labor Day weekend was a nice break. We couldn't hit the road for relaxation "cabin-style" but we did get to spend some time together and breath some fresh cool air. Monday was the perfect day to do some projects in the garage (sorry nate). I was lovin the cool weather and I hope that it stays.

School is already full throttle and I am determind to keep up and get some A's this semester. One of the academic advisors for the "Pre-professional" department told me that she has confidence that with a nice stack of A's the next few semesters and we can put together a descent application for medical school. I was supercharged to hear that, and am fixated on that goal. She councelled me against staying on the fence as to whether I am going to commit all my efforts to medical school; I had tried to be realistic and wise not to put all my hopes and efforts into one chance at a very competitive career. She said that the people who make it are not still wondering if they can do when they leave for grad school.

Tafton has round two of immunizations on this week. He didn't develop a fever with the last shots so I hope he is tough enough again and stays his healthy happy self. He's big enough for his age that it probably wont even phase him. We'll see.

First snow of the year always turns something on inside. Just one look at the thin skiff on the mountains gets me all excited. I ready to wax up the twins and try out some of my new gear! So get ready Nate and Dad! I've got a special savings account that I've begun pooling lift ticket money( I'll have to eat more microwave noodles and less of everything else, but it'll be worth it!)
