The next 2 are similar so we will put them together:
Random things we do/weird things:

1-I always thought I had cold hands and feet, but when I married Jeff I realized he has me beat. It can be 100 degrees F, and his hands are as cold as if it were 20 degrees F.

2-Jeff didn't know he only has 1 knuckle on each of his thumbs. he didn't know this until age 21.

3-Jeff is meticulously clean and organized at work, but at home it is a different story.

4-I hate unloading the dishwasher or folding clothes, but don't mind washing dishes or washing clothes.

5-Once you get Jeff started cleaning, he doesn't stop, it is just a matter of getting him to start.

6-Our first 2 children were born at 12:16.

7-I cannot go 3 months with the furniture in the same location in any room including pictures, wall color, etc. (drives Jeff crazy as he ends up helping me, what a guy.)

8-I hate socks and shoes and can barely put up with sandals, even in snow.

9-I hate being cold, but can eat ice cream in subzero temperatures.

Halloween, All Hallows eve, Day of the Dead

Hello one and all!!!!! It is I the Great Boonie back from the grave to torment all the little boys and little girls dressed up this Halloween. There are 3 in particular that I tormented; Little Miss Bunny, The Great Hunter, and that little heffer. We started out on wednesday night by carving some pumpkins we grew in our pumpkin patch. Then it shifted to Friday, that scary day of trick or treating. First Grandma Forsgren came over and played with the kids while mommy rested to get feeling better. Then I got home and took the kids to Tooele where they scared the begebees out of the store owners on Main street (more like the fire engines and cop cars scared these kids. For some reason they get scared of the sirens.) Once we returned to our lair to get replenished and we realized, that we were missing proof of our exploits, so we took picutres. We then departed on our journey now that I had 2 recruits to torment the neighboorhood through tricks and treats. We set out at 6:14 pm (and by order of something scarier than me (mom) we had to stay out more than 1 hour) we did not return home with our great spoils until 8:30 pm.

We all had a good time and it was enjoyable. Christmas should be a lot of fun this year.

Another week in Boonie town

Okay, this week has been interesting with what appears to be Emma getting sick first, then Seth, and now Aaron. It has been long nights, and even longer days since Monday. So we have stayed in for the most part trying to recover, even though Aaron became sick on Saturday and is still sick, but has been up-chucking less than saturday. Friday we went to Angie Fleming and Cody Nutt's wedding, Angie is Rebecca's cousin. It was great to see all of my Dad's brothers, as well as my Grandpa Fleming. We have not seen most of them since my Grandma's funeral. After the wedding we went to Dinner with Chad, Jill, Ashley and Makayla. We then tried to go to the pumkin walk in Syracuse, but the line had a 30-40 minute wait. With us living over an hour away, it was alreay 8 pm, cold and Aaron sick, we went home. We would have loved to go through it though. We are going to go to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin town this week.

For Halloween
Emma is going to be a Rabbit;
Seth is going to be a Tiger;
Aaron is going to be a Cow;
Mom is going to be a Cowgirl;
Dad is going to be a cross between Indiana Jones and a Cowboy.

This is our newest family picture.

At the wedding.

This week, wow

Okay this week has been full of all sorts of good stuff. Such as: Our Anniversary. We have been married for 4 years and have 3 children ( maybe we will be empty nesters by the time we are in our early 40s.)We went out to dinner and had some money to blow on ourselves, and we ended up buying Christmas for the kids. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Forsgren for watching the kids while we went out. Another big accomplishment was we cleaned out the garage for winter. It was cold, but worth it, plus we found some stuff we needed to return to our neighbors, next up basement/ mom's "crafts".

On a sad note (at least to Papa Boonie), Emma sang a song at dinner, the chorus was as follows: "I don't like girls, I just like boys, all boys, all boys. I like boys, boys, boys, boys, and no girls." This is sad, she is only 2 years old. Dad needs a gun.

On a happy note, Seth finally called Dad, Dad, and not mommy. at one point he would call him "not mommy" since that is what dad would say when Seth would call him mommy.

On another note, Aaron sleeps good from 9 pm to about 1:30 am, then not so good as he wishes to be cuddled, and Mom is happy to oblige.

One other note, her are pictures we have taken to try and follow the Prophet's advice of taking pictures twice a day.

Finally, he can wear the outfit Uncle John gave him before he was born.

Emma's room, and what we look like now

Well, now Aaron ways over 8 lbs, and is still 20 inches long. We finished Emma's room last Friday and now are posting pictures of it. Also a few more pictures of what we look like now that he is finally here.

It will be the first Sunday in November.
Sacrament meeting starts at 2:40 pm.

More pictures to come,

Okay, now the story of the labor and delivery:

About 4 weeks ago the OB said, "if you are dilated to a 4 I am sending you to the hospital." and "I doubt you will make it 7 more days without going into labor." Well a week went by and Rebecca went back in and she was dilated to a 4 and he put her on bed rest, not easy for mom to do, but she survived due to great neighbors. So another week went by and still no baby, and no being sent to the hospital to be induced, and mom was a little too successful on the bed rest, since there was no difference from the week before, more bed rest. Then we went to the last appointment on Wednesday morning, and he sent us over to the hospital to break my water, which they did later than they thought. After 4 hrs:54 mins:36 sec. :125 of intense labor (well the body might have thought so, but thanks to an epidural I took a nap, Aaron Jeffrey Forsgren was born at 7:42 PM, Wednesday, 17th of September, 2008, (Dad is going to have a hard time remembering all the birthdays, as Emma is the 29th, Seth 28th, and Aaron the 17th, it would be even worse if it were the 27th). He weighed 7 lbs .02 oz. and was 20 inches long. He sure is a cute little guy, and his siblings sure do love him.

Aaron Jeffrey Forsgren

Here are pictures: He was 7 lbs and 20 inches long. born at 7:42 pm on September 17, 2008. Mom and Aaron are both doing very well.

How Dad does breakfast!!!

Ready to hang doors and trim in Emma's new room.

Mom on bed rest, with the kids helping.

This has been an interesting week. Last week Mom's OB put her on bed rest, thinking that the baby would be born this week, hence moving the appointment from Wed. to Monday. Well, that did not happen. We were mentally ready and excited to have this baby (we are going to name him Aaron Jeffrey Forsgren), but when that did not happen according to what we thought, we were devastated. If anything we have learned this week to trust in the Lord's plan for us, and not trust in schedules that we believe, and do as the hymn says, "I do not ask to see, one step enough for me." He does have a plan for us, all we have to do is do our best, and he does the rest.

Thanks for reading,
