I got it - update the blog. But can we all just focus for a second on what a great job I have done in keeping up with this. Who really thought I would update as much as I have (not me). Anyway, quick update of the past few weeks. I went on a cruise with my sister Jenny (yeah!) and no kids (yeah! yeah!). It was totally fun. I loved every minute. We had a blast with the kids on Halloween, although Sophia got really upset when I started giving away the candy she had collected during Trunk or Treat. But seriously, did she really think I would let her eat all of it? And we had already gone through 2 1/2 of the big Sam's Club candy bags and there were still kids coming. But don't worry - I didn't give any of the chocolate away. I think that I probably can actually live in Farmington now. Costa Vida (Cafe Rio) is now open in Farmington, NM. Yeah! Although I feel like we have eaten there so often in the last few weeks that we have to take a break. Cody is not allowed to talk to people, especially at church. He gets us roped into all sorts of things. Tonight was some youth talent show and they asked if we would come and do some sort of "commercial" during the show. You know, like the ones the church does. Sure. Oh, by the way, I found out at about 9pm last night. So anyway, Sophia and I have been practicing "I hope they call me on a mission" because Cody's brother just got his call last week (Fresno, CA, spanish speaking). Anyway, we dressed the kids up and had them sing and little trooper that she is, Sophia sang her heart out. It is a true testament to the power of bribery. Although when we asked what kindof treat she wanted, Sophia said, "Bacon".
