Some Pictures of Paige - 1 Year Old (Already!)

Last Call

So no takers for the Maui deal? going once, going twice...

To Heidi

This is really just a comment about one of Heidi's posts on her personal blog. I tried to leave a comment, but it wouldn't let me so here you are:

Heidi, he is so cute! I found a some all natural drops that helped with Abby's tummy and digestion. Ity looks like molasses (or thick prune juice if you're being positive) but I think it's called Little Tummies. It always helps and I can just add a few drops to her bottles or squirt it in her mouth and I like that it's natural so I don't feel so bad. Also, we learned at Apple Juice is not so good for constipation, because of the pectan or something, but White Grape Juice does the trick!

PS- Those of you without kids, i'm sorry. But our life does now revelove around sleeping, pooping, and eating. :o)

Slice of Paradise for Sale

I wanted to put this out there - not sure if there'll be any takers but it's worth a shot. On April 17th, Christin and Steve and Potato are moving back to the mainland. I'm also visiting that same time for about 2 or 3 weeks. So from April 17th to about May 8th our house will be empty. If anyone would like to stay on Maui for $50/night let us know. We'll have a car here for your use, too. Plus use of my surfboard, Steve's bodyboard, any snorkel gear here have lying around, free internet... you get the point. Anyway, I think it's a great opportunity for anyone who hasn't seen Maui (not to mention I can recoup some of my rent while I'm away).

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines day to all the ones we love, and even to those we only like a little.

It's a Boy!

It's a Boy and we like the name Max! WARNING: They are a little x-rated so shield your eyes if you are squeamish to fetus ultrasounds.

Kauai

We just returned from the most glorious week in Kauai. My parents took us to Oahu 12 years ago, and I really liked it then, but I LOVED Kauai. I completely understand why Jeff and Chris live in Hawaii. I found myself thinking, "Is there any way we could make a living here?" I discovered that I loved the remote atmosphere of this island, where we just went exploring and found great hikes and beaches. I have a complete run-down of the week on my blog if you want to check it out (it's really wordy, but there are more pictures). Besides the amazing scenery and hikes, some highlights of the week were snorkeling, helicopter ride, scuba diving, the zip line, and just being together (no kids!). It was so nice to just wear the "wife" hat and leave everything else behind that falls under the "mom" hat (chauffer hat, maid hat, nanny hat, chef hat, bum-wiper hat; I think you get the idea). A HUGE thanks to my parents, mother-in-law, and Lisa for taking on all the responsibilities. It was just heaven!

Snow in Maui

It's been uncommonly rainy and cold this past week. Tuesday morning I woke up to go paddling and saw the snow atop Haleakala. It was so funny to drive along the highway and see all the cars stopped on the shoulder and cameras hanging out the windows - it was big news for a day or two. In some ways it was a lot like the torrential rain we had not long ago. Everyone started conversations the same way for a couple of days - "Did you see the snow!?" In Makawao where I work it's pretty much been raining nonstop, so I guess if I gotta work it might as well rain (tax season is officially in full swing).

So yeah, this post is to complain that it's raining and getting down to about 65 degrees at night. Don't you feel sorry for us?

Other than that there's not much news to report. Chris and Steve are planning on moving back to Utah in April, Steve's almost done with masssage therapy school, there's a friend named Potato living with us right now and he's having a blast here. He's never been outside Utah before, so I like to think we've expanded his horizons a little bit.

Anyway, that's about it for now. But no news is good news right?

Brownie Recipe

Emily, Lexy, & Aunt Linda couldn't get enough of these brownies and asked for the recipe. I will warn that they turn out a little different every time, but are always good. (Bake in a 9x13 pan)Enjoy!

We're still here!!!

Hello everyone. We thought we'd post a few Christmas pictures!



As you can tell we had a fun Christmas. Josie still thinks this toy puppy will come to her if she pats her legs.


Also, Ed put our home on the market. Crazy huh?


We've been thinking about it for a while and then last thursday someone broke into our house and stole a bunch of our stuff. It was really sad and upsetting, but we're getting things worked out. But that made Ed call our realtor and list our home on Saturday. We'll see how that goes. it's not really a good time to be selling.

So remember to lock your doors and windows!!!
Love,
Ed, Annie, and Josie

Lisa's Blog

Lisa and Matt now have a blog, just one week old. It's http://mlnoyes.blogspot.com/.

Links

The Shaffer ladies asked for a link list on the blog. I've started with the ones I know, but if you have one, you should share!

A hole in the ground

Last year Theron and I bought a piece of land in the hopes of building a house. We were going to wait until next fall to build it until someone suggested we do it now. That was in late November. We thought we would just get things lined up so we would be ready in the fall, but we found an eager contractor and despite the snow and cold temperatures, we broke ground yesterday.

The hole in the ground makes everything very real. The next few months are going to be interesting, that's for sure. I'll post updates on here, but I'll be going into more detail on our blog: theronandheidi.blogspot.com

Coming Soon to a Baugh Family Near You...

"BABY BAUGHH THE SEQUEL"

Coming July 2008

In a Select Room at Jordan Valley Hospital Only

Don't miss the sneak peak the first week of February

Since we told our families yesterday I guess it's safe to post a little more publicly. We are expecting! That's right, Abby will soon be a sibling. My due date is July 4th (which both sides of our family just loved!). We like Max and Ruby as names and both agree on them so we'll be excited for anything when we find out in February if our new addition will be a boy or girl. YAY!

Also, I posted the same note on my Blog. If you would like to look at it it's curtisandlexy.blogspot.com. It does require a password so if you can't get in just email me and I'll add you to the permissions list. Thanks!

Christmas Card?

I was a little crazy with wortk up until Friday and I didn't get around to doing Christmas cards this year. So, here is a digital attempt to make it up to you all.

Peek-a-Boo...Merry Christmas to You!

Sweetness

I just wanted to share a few pictures of my sweet Abby. Emily took these while we were in St. George (pretty good, I'd say). She's so huge now!-Lex

Better late than never!

I didn't get a chance to copy these over to this blog earlier, but I wanted to share Aiden's Halloween pictures. Love the photos from Emily of the kids' costumes! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving this week!

A boy blessed

Sorry Emily! I have been without the internet for the past week. Here is our little man in his blessing outfit. I was nervous it wouldn't fit because it is for 3-6 mos, but my boy grew right into it. I took the picture before church, but from what I understand this is the same way he looked during the blessing- awake and alert. Theron was very nervous to give a blessing into a microphone but did a great job.

This picture is of Theron's family outside our chapel. It is the only pic I have of me holding Logan.

And here is the proud Papa! We missed having all of you here with us, but if you must know there would not have been room in my ward's small chapel. Two other babies were blessed the same day and there was standing room only. There almost wasn't enough room for the 11 men to stand in Logan's circle! We are lucky to have so much family so close.

Happy Halloween

It's been a long time since a post (I keep waiting to see Blessing Day photos - hint, hint). So, here a few shots of my kids at Halloween. We just had a fabulous time, and the kids were so excited. Since we've taken Austin off food dye, it makes for a difficult holiday. But, he and Macy went trick-or-treating, kept a few pieces of candy, and left the rest of it out for the Halloween Goblin. He took the candy in the middle of the night and left Spiderman magnetix/lego set for Austin and Polly Pocket for Macy. It actually worked out quite well. We hope you had a fun holiday as well! Love you all, Emily
