It all started when ...




Time to play a little blogging catch-up. (It's been more than crazy.) Marco pulled up with the truck packed to the brim last week. In our defense, we also moved things for 4 other people that saw a chance to put our U-haul to the test. (BTW - If your stuff is still on our porch, please make the appropriate arrangements!) The real muscle came from Xanny and Katie. Unfortunately, Zina Boo stubbed her toe early on and was forced to wait out the rest of the evening on the porch.

After moving -- everything hurt. The house was a pile of insanity (still is) and we had no idea where the cups and spoons were. Of course that can only mean one thing, THAI CHILI GARDENS. Definitely half the fun of returning to Zion is the really tasty cheap ethnic food. Who would'da thunk? But Utah has some decent food and they really don't seem to mind that you drag your kids along. In fact, the best part of Thai Chili was the 9:30 pm 4 year old birthday party happening in the back booth for the owner's kid. (They ordered pizza and a spider-man cake.) Xanny, of course, saddled right on up and shared a bit of "4 but nearly five" wisdom and a generous piece of cake with the new 4 year old. Now he thinks when ever you see a random party happening in a public location all you gotta do is ask. The very next day he crashed a nice Peruvian party in the park. The next thing we know, he is marching back with a giant piece of pink cake. He is working on saying Happy Birthday in 7 different languages in order to increase his chances for cake no matter what the circumstances.



Baby, bear and band aid toe. :(

Andi, We love Thai Chili Garden! I'm glad to see they are still in business - It was a regular stopping spot in the undergrad years. Next time we're in Provo we'll have to take all the kids and pig out!

Xan needs to write his memoirs in a book form one day. Or rather maybe you need to. I think it would be a hit. I want to know what kind of thoughts he has in his head.

Michelle - I was thinking you should just have the baby here! I will watch the boys and then you can just stick around for Christmas.

Kim - I truly worry about what floats around in that little head of his. But he loves stories. It is the first thing he asks for in the morning, the last thing at night and 700 times in the middle.
