Boyer 5 - Week Two

Here are five happenings in the Boyer household this week:

1. "A confection" - We had a first in the Boyer home this week. Bekah started not feeling well and was having a lot of pain when, uh, well...using the bathroom. Eventually we were having lots of screaming and crying and pain every time she had to go. I took her in to the doctor where he diagnosed her with a urinary tract infection. None of my kids (or Joe or I!) have ever had one before. Craziness, eh? When the doctor told her that she would need to take some medicine she burst out, "See Mom! I told you I had a CONFECTION!" Cutie. She is doing (mostly) better.

Poor thing really wasn't herself!

2. Imagine me, a missionary! - On Monday night, we had the missionaries over for dinner. It was kind of stressful for me. I had a busy day at work and didn't have time to run to the store until just before they came. One of our benches at our table and BOTH of the adult chairs have recently broken, so I had this crazy mishmash of computer chairs and one of the kids even used the exercise ball to sit upon. Once the missionaries arrived, my social anxiety sort of kicked in a bit and I felt really awkward trying to make sure that everyone was happy. Neither of the missionaries was particularly naturally chatty so that just contributed to my unease. Anyway, I have to say that once they left I felt pretty relieved. As we were cleaning up, though, Ammon said to me "Man. That was so awesome. I don't know about you, but I LOVED having them come over." I guess that is what it's all about!

(I was going to take a picture of us with the missionaries, but my phone died. Oh well)

3. A treat surprise - This is totally random, but one day this week Hannah went to get some ice from the ice maker. This is what came out instead:

That is a creamscicle! It came right out of the ice maker.

Hannah's surprise. :) We laughed and laughed and laughed

4. Wild weather - We have had a few rain and wind storms this week. The kids have been enthralled - excited and nervous all at once. :) Here is a quick video of our excitement...

5. Dreaming of Fall - I guess this weather has been making us yearn for fall. I pulled out the autumn decorations earlier this week. On Sunday, we decided to make pumpkin pie for Sunday dinner. All of the kids helped. It was very fun. Joe even insisted that we turn on some Christmas music while we worked (I know, I know...haha). It was very festive and we had a ball. We are so excited for the upcoming holidays in the coming months.

I REALLY don't know how to decorate at all! I was wishing sweet Kerri lived close by to help me out. :)

Sweet deliciousness...
