General update

Brent
Works every day and is gone too long. He works hard with his calling too. He leaves every Sunday morning at 5:50 to go to Bishopric meeting then ward council all before 9 am church, he's so wonderful. He loves the chicken bakes at Costco and goes there once a week for lunch. He got a new WarHammer truck that he is so excited about and has been tinkering with for days now, I don't know when he'll finish it but at least he is having fun.

Me
I'm really enjoying my calling as Choir Director. I found this song that the BYU concert choir performed and I fell in love with it. I'm going to order the sheet music and have my choir perform it in sacrament meeting, which I'm so excited about. There was a really nice video tribute to our military set to this song that is on YouTube, so check it out and listen to this absolutely beautiful song. Let me know what you think.

Pregnancy update
I have been feeling better. I am 16 weeks and the nausea is finally starting to subside, unless I have dairy. Yup, this baby has decided to be mean to me and make me sick when I eat dairy, which means no milk (I drink rice or soy milk instead), no ice cream (which makes me cry), no yogurt (which I miss because I have eaten one every day for about 7 years), and limited cheese. I hope this doesn't mean the baby will be lactose intolerant, that would suck big time (for the kid). I have a prenatal appointment today and I will get to hear the heartbeat for the first time and schedule the ultrasound that will let us know the sex of the baby, so I'm excited for it.

I'm definitely feeling more energetic and I'm getting more things done around the house which makes me feel good. I do have some crazy weird dreams though, and every one of them for the past few months have had something to do with food or have had food in them. Last night I dreamed I was Sonic the hedgehog and I was trying to beat the doctor up with spaghetti noodles and meatballs... I'm telling you.. crazy!

Jacob
He got his first experience with snow on Monday. We took pictures to see what he'd think and as you can see he didn't like it. By the end tears were rollin' and it had only been about 45 seconds. Maybe next time. Also, he hates shoes. We put these VANS on him that Grandma Turner gave him and he just stood there and cried, when he did try to walk he would trip over the toe and fall down, crying even harder. So I'm going to look into some soft-soled shoes for him to get him used to the idea of having something on his feet besides socks. I like the Robeez shoes, but they are $27 each and I'm not about to buy shoes that will only last for a few months since his feet grow so fast. Any ideas out there?
