"It looks like guacamole!"

***Disclaimer: May be a little graphic for the faint of heart***

If ever you hear these words uttered from your two year old's mouth while sitting in the bathtub, "It looks like guacamole!" Know that you have a catastrophe at hand! Apparently, Isaac has a stellar imagination already, though I'm not sure I appreciate the link between a little poo and guacamole. I think it'll be awhile before I can eat chips and guac again! It does make for a great story to tell his girlfriends when he gets older!

This week has been great. Though Ben and I both feel like we are being pushed to our limits and staying busier than we ever want, we know that we are headed in a good direction and that the things we are doing are worthy causes. Ben is about to finish his two classes (8 credit hours)! Whoa! All the time he is working full time. We are so looking forward to this week with some friends and family and the opportunity to watch my little brother (who is much taller than me) play basketball for Regis University. (http://www.regisrangers.com/) It promises to be a great week of eating and basketball (and maybe a little black friday shopping...) So, here's to another great week in what we like to call paradise! May we all take a minute to give thanks and to realize the truly wonderful things in our lives.

The Indiana Diary

Ben, Isaac and I left for Indiana on October 28th for Ben's dental school interview Oct. 29th. He had a great interview and really feels like this would be a good place, if it's where the Lord wants us. While Ben was interviewing, Isaac and I went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum with our friends, Ashley and her daughter Lily, and Emily and her daughter, Lexi. We had a great time! I think this is the best Children's Museum ever... certainly on a different scale than the ones we are used to! I think Isaac's favorite part was the haunted house and a pool ball maze (difficult to describe, but a very intricate design that took balls up and down and through loops, etc.) He could've stared at it all day trying to figure it out!

Making cupcakes with Lily-- this is post them throwing dry cake mix at each other in the two seconds we were turned around... great cleanup!

We spent the rest of the week in Indiana with our friends, Roger, Ashley and Lily (and their family). We had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed trick or treating with our two little pirates! We also enjoyed going to Rog and Ashley's ward (a little backwards!) While we were there, the only really funny thing was in Sunday School when a guy's phone went off and it was a country song about getting it on! We all had a good chuckle! Ike also had a dream come true! He was able to ride with Roger's dad (and Ashley and Lily) on a real combine while they cut soy beans! It was pretty much the highlight of his two years of life and he talks about it all the time! I think he may have a good future as a farmer!

We sent Ben back home to work and go to school on Sunday and then Ike and I spent another week "chilling" with the Whites. It was so fun to take a step back and just be with our kids enjoying each other's company and letting the kids play a ton. It certainly took care of my stress problem, at least for awhile and made me so excited for the day I can live next door to these special friends! (I'll keep looking on Craig'slist for our next house!)

Well, here's to another week of fun! Life back to "normal" is quite exciting too, especially with this two year old around!
