"Try to Remember the Kind of September...."

I have been WAY lame as far as blogging is concerned...so this will be a long post with many pictures and much to catch up on. I can't believe how fast September flew by. Jerry is doing amazing in school which feels so good. To think just this year and next we'll be done with school....HALLELUJIAH it CAN'T come fast enough! I recently got a new calling in our ward. I'm now the Laurel Advisor...which to those of you NOT of my faith I teach the 16 and 17 year old girls on Sundays. I taught my first lesson last week and...it was on chastity. Yep....my first sunday, talkin to girls I've never met about sex. It was awesome... :)...ha ha. It went okay. They are neat girls and I'm excited about the opportunity.

Cohen is now 8 months!!!

He continues to crack us up every day. He is becoming MOBILE!! So we are trying to find creative ways to quickly baby proof the house. He's not CRAWLING but he has got the army scoot down!

He also likes to play games when I'm trying to feed him his baby food. He's started doing this thing where he will tilt his head to one side and look up at me with those beautiful blue eyes and smile....and will not move or eat till I do it too! It's hillarious :)

If you can remember my last post he was sick last month....well the anti biotics for his ear infection ended up givin him a real bad yeast infection so we are trying to get that under control.

Kind of a special thing Jerry and I got to go to is the sealing of Sarah May Moss to her family. Her mom is Jerry's cousin and someone that has become quite dear to my heart as well being that we were able to work closely at the Orthodontists office that I work at now. They had been trying for years to have a baby, just wasn't taking...they tried invitro....not sure if I spelled that right...they pretty much tried everything you can think of. They then ended up trying to adopt...had a heart breaking experience where a mom chose another family at the last minute and didn't tell Marissa till she was at the hospital expecting to be a mom that day. Finally on Valentines day they got the call they were finally going to be parents. Sarah is beautiful. Finally after 7 months are so everything is both permanent legally and and spiritually. They were sealed in the Las VEgas temple this month and it was just so amazing to be able to witness it.

When they brought her in with the white dress and pink pacifier my heart just about beat out of my chest. Later there was refreshments and a gathering at someone's house and Cohen and Sarah were so funny to watch.




This is Marissa and Sarah...Proud Mama!












We also go to go to my niece Mia's 1 year birthday party!!! It was fun...lots of family...food, water games and what not...and of course cake in the face!

Mia is walking now and you can tell Cohen is jealous. They are two peas in a pod.









Another wonderful thing is that my sister Jackie came out to visit me from provo.

It's the first time I had seen her since she'd come back from Africa. So it was a neat weekend. I apologize, i recognize there are few pictures ever of me...mainly Cohen and Jerry :) ha ha...I'm usually the camera obsessed one and the one that remembers to take pictures...so there you have it.
Anyways we had tons of fun, went to the pool, a wedding reception and just got a lot of much needed sister time in. I miss her I wish she were closer....I wish ALL of my family were much closer together.

And finally....
I saved this for last because technically this October news....TODAY news actually. JOSH AND JODY HAD THEIR BABY!!! Madelyn Elizabeth Moser was born at 9 somethin this morning :). at 7lbs 4oz., 20 inches long, 12 days early, and lots of black hair!!! STINKIN CUTIE!!! Mom and baby are both doing well!
