Yesterday in church, our second counselor asked us to watch his sons while he sat on the stand because his wife had just had a baby the night before and was not able to come to church yet. We could only get the 5 year old named Ty to sit by us because the 3 year old Sean saw me and started screaming to his Dad that i was scary!! Pretty funny but not as funny as Ty was about to get.
So we are in the middle of the first speaker and Ty leans over and says "Hey did you know where baby's drink from?" He proceeded to show Ethan and I and told us that that was the weirdest thing he had ever heard of in his life. We got a good chuckle from that, but Ty was not done.
He leaned over to me and this is how the conversation went
Ty "Do you have any kids?"
Cami "No. Not yet."
Ty " Oh. Youre not grown up yet huh?"
Cami "Yup. I am not old enough."
Ty pointing to Ethan "Is he your dad?"
Cami "no, he is my husband"
Ty with a very confused face " How are you a mommy with a husband and don't have any kids?'
Cami " I am just not old enough yet."
Ty "I have never met a mommy with no kids."
It was pretty hilarious in his 5 year old voice.
At the end of Sacrament meeting, Ty and Sean were reunited and told me that they had a new baby brother (again) and proceeded to fight about what his name is. Their brothers name is Eli but Sean got so mad and yelled "HIS NAME IS NOT JESUS!!! IT IS MOSES!!! IT was hilarious

Old House: New House
I know most of you have had the privilege of visiting our new house, but not every many of you had the honor of seeing our old house. We are so grateful for both because both severed their purposes. Lets just say we are grateful that our time ended at our first house and allowed us to move into our new house! I thought a little side by side comparison would be fun for everyone. Keep in mind that they are both basements and we are paying less than we did before.
House
Front Room
(and yes. both have green carpet, but old house had pee/animal stained carpet and new house does not)
Kitchen
Bathroom
I promise I am not kidding. This is it. Oh and you have to step up into the bathroom so Ethan hit is head 90% of the time he was going into the bathroom.
Bedroom
Oh and here are a few more new bedroom pictures that got skipped!!
Closet
(both are "walk in." I mean I guess you technically can walk in to any closet right?)
Pantry
(PS. That little door in the old pantry had a case of Tequila in it when we moved in. Also it was one of the many mold spots in our house. I also got tired of proving that this house is better and only took pictures of two of the walls in the new pantry and not all 3. You get the idea)
Spare Bedroom vs Laundry Room
(As much as we loved not having a washer and dryer in our house, we decided that it was time to have the luxury.)
And just a few more pictures just because. Did I mention that old house does not have heat and new house has heat AND air conditioning both of which we pay less for? Just sayin

Photo 1. Our back yard where our neighbors mom lived in a tent for 2 weeks while her daughter was having a baby, where a baby deer was birthed, and where our neighbors kept their 3 dogs and 1 goat.
Photo 2. Our hall way. Ps the door on the side is the bathroom so walking through the kitchen got you to the bathroom :) and the door in front is the spare room that we viewed earlier
Photo 3. The corner of our front room that you could access the water heater
Photo 4. Our coat closet. All jokes aside we miss this like crazy
Photo 5. Our adorable kitchen sink that was built for bathing small animals that produced SCALDING water only, but we didn't complain because it was the source of heat in our home.
Because this is already long enough, the only picture that I do not have of our new house is a book case next to the couch in the front room that holds all our movies, games, and books.

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!!
Another Craft
I have a lot of free time right now. A few things I like to do is try new recipes, run/exercise, do puzzles and find simple crafts that anyone can do. This one is one of those. Super easy. I bought the W and then cut out its shape on three different pieces of paper. I glued down the base paper W that I wanted to use, and then ripped the other W papers so that they would look crafty on the edges. To make the rip marks darker I just dotted them with ink. Super easy, way fun, and I love putting it in my kitchen!!
This picture was taken very very early, hence the just woke up face

STAPLES!!!!
So what do you get when you have a competitive husband and a defender who doesn't know how to play basketball??? STAPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! he only had 3 and Ethan popped right off the floor. The other guy stayed down for a little bit, but his teeth were fine. Even though it happened three minutes into the game, Ethan finished it out. 
They are really hard to see, but trust me... they were there for 7 days! Sorta cool if you ask me

Frozen Pipe
So I totally forget to share this eventful day!!! While over Thanksgiving, our outside pipe froze because we forgot to cover it and take the hose off. My bad. It was just a slow constant leak nothing big. Well after the week break we decided that it was time to fix it. That night I turned the hose and the leaking stopped!!! It was a miracle... we thought. About an hour later we go outside to check, and the leaking has started again. We decided to just leave it till morning since it had been fine all break. In the morning, Saturday, at about 8 am, I wake up to my name being yelled to me!!! I think the house is burning down, Ethan has died or we have won a million dollars. I run to the screaming and Ethan is standing the middle of this.....
So my wonderful husband tried to tighten the pipe (before we knew it was cracked) and accidentally made it worse resulting in the fountain that you see. Just as a reminder, it was about 35 degrees outside. We had to turn the water off and then spent the rest of the day fixing the pipe. I love my handy man. He will try anything!!

UPDATE!!!!
I just found some pictures that I thought would be cool to put on the blog!!. We are doing awesome. I am student teaching at Timpview High School and love it. I am the minority in all of my classes and so that is a really weird adjustment. I love most of my students but get really sick of the ones that decide when they can and can't speak English, meaning they can't understand me when it is time to run of do anything physical and then when we are talking outside of class they speak very good English. Whatever!!!
Ethan is finally done with applications and now we just sit and wait. We are really excited to get accepted somewhere but are really sad to be leaving Provo. We LOVE our house, we LOVE our ward, we LOVE being around family and friends, we LOVE BYU, and we LOVE the cost of living in Utah compared to the rest of the planet. We will keep you posted.
Other than that we are going to BYU basketball games, attending Young Men meetings, and I am trying to find things to do in my spare time while Ethan is gone and I have no homework. Any suggestions.
Mom and Dad had to arm wrestle in this game called Dice-Ca-Pades. It was hilarious because they both had bum shoulders at the time so it was pretty evenly matched. I think my mom won because her shoulder was less bum at the time. It was the slowest race I have ever witness due to the constant laughter by the spectators and the participants!!!
Same game, but this time Dad had to do 25 sits up. He did it, but lets just say he is not in the same shape as he was in the military!!!
This is an ornament that I made for my mother in law and my mom for Christmas. I was so proud of how it turned out. I was trying so hard to be like my older sisters because they are the craftiest people I know!!!

Hope you enjoy these random pics oh and PS Ethan got new medicine and is finally getting better. HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holden thought everything was just too hilarious to smile at the camera. If he weren't so cute we would get upset, but he has us wrapped around his finger!!
Cookie day at the Wings... definatly top 5 favorite days of break!!!
Holden rarely lets Ethan touch him, let a lone sit with him. Luckily the Wiggles work as a powerful bribe!!
Pre sick days run!! We ALWAYS wear the same outfit :)
