DADDY DAUGHTER Faith in God Night.

The amazing Activity day leaders in our ward prepared a celebration for what the girls have accomplished in the Faith in God program this year.

Bryon won the pie eating contest. Yep whole chocolate pie.

Rebekah wanted to work on developing her talents, so she decided to bake and decorate a cake. This is what she came up with. She did all the frosting (except the crumb coat) by her self.


It was yummy too.

Halloween

A Frankenstein, a Zombie and Optimus Prime


Carving Pumpkins. The boys had a hard time jumping in.
The haul from the big kids.

Phineas And Ferb

I had a librarian ask me where I got my awesome bag when I was at the city library today.Yep that says Library Of Congress. One of the coolest places I visited on my week long trip with Bryon to DC in 2005

Just a Preview

Just a quick look at some of our family pictures. These are just the first that were edited.

Sam got ahold of the Camera

Things they did while I was on Bed Rest.

Jack Jack

This is so totally out of date since he is three weeks old tomorrow.
Sorry to all of you who don't have Facebook.

JACK HUNTER BUCHMILLER

Born 8/17/10

1:41 am

8lbs 3oz 19 inches

Tha-ree days. Three, 3, tres. Yep. Three

Forget the counter to the right. I am being induced on the 18th.

Good thing since yesterday I finally lost the last two of the knuckles on my hands. Now they are just pits. Give me a few more days and the crevice of a belly-button might actually pop. That would be the first time ever!

Worried that the poor kid is going to be addicted to Percocet. I am trying to only take one a day, but between the migraines, killer contractions and the amount of water I am retaining, sometimes it doesn't work. I feel like I am an old lady with all the medications I have now and I haven't even given birth yet.

I was taking to Rebekah this morning about the plan of Grandma coming to stay and waiting until Jack is born and then taking the kids to the Bow Hunt. As soon as I mentioned that she would get to come to the hospital and hold him, she got all giddy and excited. I laughed and she fell over on the bed and started giggling. "I am so excited!" She told me.

Me too babe. Me too.

Missing my mommy and daddy though. Of course I won't have to worry about grandma peeking around the curtain in the delivery room this time.

Ward Movie Night

Another activity I didn't attend. Yep not bored or anything around here.


The ward set up a blow up movie screen and had popcorn for an activity. When I asked Sam what the movie was about, he couldn't tell me. All he remembered about the night was that Bailey and Kylie were there. At least he was paying attention to his friends.

Oh, and that's my girl.

Can't tell can you?

Ethen Gets his BOBCAT (and a whole bunch of other stuff)

He looks so proud that they asked him to hold the flag. Same ended up with it for most of the night though and I tried to keep him from hitting people with it.Because of Day Camp the week before, there were a lot of awards to give out.
Ethen not only earned his Bobcat badge, but 6 belt loops. Archery, BB Guns, Baseball, Chess and I can't remember the others ones.Bryon got to paint his face. I got around of applause because I squatted down to take that picture. Took a bit to get back up. Bryon told me that he needed to work on his artwork for the next time he gets to paint Ethen's face. And yes that badge is totally crooked, but after sewing on so many with swollen fingers I wasn't about to fix it.

They played a flag football type game to get the night started. With so many boys (We have one of the largest packs in the district) it was chaotic. I am glad I stayed in my chair.

Cute little Blake got dressed up for the occasion. His mom is pretty hot too and I am not just saying that because she is the bishops wife.

Sometimes it is just better not to ask

The aunts and Grandma Dot took the kids to see the floats for the 24th parade.



Apparently there were face painters and balloon people.




That same day they also went to lunch, dinner, a movie and had snow cones at Aunt Lois'.

Too bad they had to come home to boring old mom in bed.
