Trunk-or-Treat!

So it's technically not yet Halloween, but we had the annual Trunk-or-Treat tonight.  Our new church building also has a pavilion outside equipped with picnic tables so this year we also had dinner before the 'trunk-or-treating' began.  Potluck, buffet style chili dinner, cornbread and other misc. sides...mmmm good. We waited in line, struggled through the line-me carrying Brynlynn, Brent serving up two bowls while both dodging little lego men, princesses and so on.  Once we finally made it to our seats and sat down....
Chili went all over the floor and Brent...

She did, however, manage to scoop some of the chili and Fritos before they fell and get a good taste.  (I couldn't help but laugh because of a scene from Mr. Mom where the baby gets a can of chili..."You can't feed a baby chili!"; again, another Mr. Mom reference...seriously watch the movie if you haven't seen it and/or don't remember that scene!)
No biggie.  We cleaned it up, shared a bowl, then commenced to get some candy!  And we were smart enough (for once) to get some pictures BEFORE the food and activities.  WARNING: Pictures below are extremely cute.  Proceed slowly to not overwhelm yourself.

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

...& Then There Were Three

She's arrived! Brynlynn Olivia Shannon (finally) made her entrance on Feb. 15 at 10:14 am! Here's her story... Her initial due date was 2/13 (though her size indicated 2/06). Thinking I could use my mother as a good reference point for my pregnancy, I suspected she too would come early (I was about 4-5 weeks early and my sister 2-3 weeks). Wrong. Thus, when my 40 week check-up rolled around, still no baby and my cervix was no more prepared to deliver a baby than it was at 6 weeks, the Dr. wanted to discuss inducing labor. Even though I was eager to meet her and have my body to myself again, I was apprehensive about this process...you hear the horror stories of the women that elect to induce have a 35 hour labor that ends with a c-section despite their earlier efforts. We, however, prayed about the process, and knew that my body would likely need a little 'boost' since (as previously mentioned) my cervix didn't get the memo about my due date. The date was set: we...
