A Week of Firsts

It's been a busy week for us - we're trying to get out and have an "adventure" each day.  Monday we had Heather, Meghan, Mack visiting and hanging out with cousins was a great adventure.  Tuesday we went out to lunch with them as well.  Mom learned that it really does take 45 minutes to get ready for a 5 minute drive and 1/2 hour lunch.  Tuesday it was a walk at the mall.  That was really an adventure - but very much worth it!  Thursday we went to Target (one of our favorite adventures) and tried not to get blown away.  Friday, well, today we decided to take it easy.  We've got some visitors coming and maybe later we'll go out for a little bit.  It's amazing how much a little "adventure" time is saving mom's sanity!  I'm so grateful he's mellow enough to let me do it.  Thanks, Eli!

A Visit with Grandpa O.


Great Grandpa Osborne came for a visit last week.  
He came up from Hurricane to trade out some rocking chairs for us and, most importantly, see his newest great-grandson.  They almost shared a birthday, but Grandpa says that one day late is still pretty close.  What an amazing thing to have a great-grandpa!

Hi there, Bear Cub!

On Monday we got to have one last peek at our little man before he makes his grand entrance.  Dr. Baxter wanted to make sure of his position and size, which is good thing.  Bear Cub is head down, but he's facing sideways.  We also found out he's measuring almost 8 lbs!!  So much for a petite Isom!  In this picture you can only see his nose and mouth, but Kelly is convinced he's smiling.  He also says Bear Cub's got my nose, or at least my nostrils.  I just can't believe how big and perfect he is!  Oh so very, very cute!
Oh, little Bear Cub!  Please come soon!  We want to play and cuddle and kiss your toes!

New School Year, New Job, New Carpet

The adventures of Betsy and Bulk continue as we prepare for little man to arrive.  School has started and I'm back to teaching 6th grade at Wasatch.  I have a good class - it just seems that keeping track of 33 bodies is somehow exponentially harder than 30.  Strange how that happens.  Keeping track of my body is also somewhat of a challenge.  Each day brings a new surprise - exhaustion, swollen feet, sore back... The joys of pregnancy, right?

Kelly is enjoying his new job at Uhaul.  After a quick hire, a General Manager leaving, an interim GM coming in, a new GM, an assistant manager quitting, and Kelly being promoted to assistant manager, Kelly is settling into a good situation.  He works all sorts of hours and hasn't had a week under 40 hours yet.  But he's happy.  That's what matters!

And finally, new carpet.  It may be an old house with no 2x4's and the most creative venting ever imagined, but it is going to look good!  We got a great deal on carpet at RC Willey and next week will be running our toes through soft, CLEAN, cushy carpet.  I can't wait!  It's all part of the preparation for little man - we couldn't just carpet his room, now could we?  We'll even get the squeaky floors and crooked walls fixed before the carpet comes in.  Yeah!
