Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

The other day Matthew complained to me that he thought he got bit by a spider during the night and was so itchy. I didn't really think too much of it. A few hours later, he told me he must have bed bugs because he had a lot of bites. Again, I didn't think too much of it and told him to bring up his sheets. After another hour of constant complaining I finally went to look at him. When he took off his shirt I couldn't help but laugh, he was COVERED in hives and rashes over his entire body (literally head to toe). I felt bad laughing but this was so obviously not a bite but something else, we took him to the doctor and they confirmed that he was having a severe reaction to his amoxicillin.

I told Matthew if he ever had this many bed bug bites we would have to move!

The Verdict is In!!!!!

Jordan's mission call FINALLY arrived on Saturday. All of our cousins were out of town for fall break so we waited until Sunday night to open it! (Longest 24 hours of our lives)

After 105 guesses (as to where Jordan would go on her mission), represented by 105 flags on our maps, that spanned:

• 23 States

44 Countries

and 6 continents (Jordan was glad that noone guessed Antarctica)

the time had finally come, and all of our friends & family crammed in to hear where she would go!

The Drum roll Please!

PARIS, FRANCE, LEAVING FEBRUARY 10th!

As you can tell, we were all pretty excited! Everyone who knows Jordan knows that Paris is her favorite city in the World. We had 11 winners who guessed Paris.

The roommates! And congrats to Rebecca (2nd from the left), she just got engaged last Thursday!

Luckily Jordan could find Paris on the map!

Josh's Hero....Tyler

We have some serious hero worshipping going on at our house. Anyone who knows Josh, knows that he is quite strong willed, so we have to start on his Halloween costume really early to make sure it meets his standards.

This year without hesitation he said he wanted to be a BYU Football player. I was excited because that is an easy costume to find. A few minutes into the search I realized that not just any BYU football uniform was going to work. He NEEDED to be #31. That is the number of his cousin Tyler on the BYU Football team. Josh is a HUGE Tyler fan, if he can't make it to the games he will sit and watch every minute of the game on TV, just hoping to see Tyler, and Tyler gets on TV all the time, so it's worth his time.

So now the funny story part: After I received the costume I had Josh try it on. Josh asked me if I had under armor for his arms so he didn't get cold. I told him that he could just wear a sweatshirt under and then he would be plenty warm. Josh informed me that he couldn't do that because it would make him look fat. So I informed Josh that lots of football players were fat so it would be perfect. Then Josh informed me that blockers were fat.

So I informed Josh that it was Halloween and he could be absolutely ANY position he wanted to be, that he gets to choose, so he could just be a blocker. Then Josh looked at me like I was the dumbest person to walk on this earth and said: "I am the back-up punter (the position Tyler plays), and the back-up punter isn't fat!"

Timpview Cheer clinic & Conference weekend

This is Halle and her 2 BFF's (Maddie & Sophie). They all participated in the Timpview Cheer clinic and were able to cheer for the first half of the Timpview football game.

Here they are in action!

During priesthood the girls decided to go see the remake of the movie "Fame."

Poor Josh had to come along, because he wasn't old enough to stay home alone or go to priesthood. He was THE ONLY boy in the entire theater. Everyone else must have had the same girls night out idea during priesthood that we had. You can see he brought his DS complete with headphones!
And for those waiting, we expected Jordan's mission call yesterday but it didn't come. The Bishop checked on it and the status still says, "ready for assignment." We are hoping that it comes next Wednesday, I will post something as soon as we hear anything.
