Is there a mouse in your house?????

We don't have a mouse in our house, BUT we have one in our CAR!!! EWWW! Gross! I usually never drive Cory's car because well it's beat to death. I officially awarded his car this morning as the Ghetto-est car I've ever seen. It's been stolen, crashed in a high speed chase--and it looks it--really and now it is home to our little friends the mice. I wanted to go to a Zumba class and my car was out of gas, so I took Cory's. I was happily driving along when I decided to put my wallet in the glove compartment. I shrieked as I opened it because this is what I found.........A mice lair in the glove compartment. I started freaking out as any normal person would who realizes that they are sharing their car with a mouse that could dart out at any second and cause a horrendous accident. I think it might be worse than having a bee in the car. I start looking around for other evidences of mice and there is mice poop all over the front of the car. I really start shrieking because I realize I'm sitting in it! EWWW. I debated getting out of the car and having Cory come pick me up, but alas I was courageous and strong! I defeated my fear. I even went to the zumba class, which was awesome. Cory is at this moment disinfecting the car and getting it vacummed out. We haven't seen the mice, but what do we do put a trap in the car. Oh, gross. I'm so glad that its not my car.

The blessing in all this is that Cory will have a squeaky(haha) clean car. It's also good that I took the car during the day because Cory usually only drives it around in the dark. So we found our little furry friend earlier. Now onto the rest of our week.......

Isn't he adorable? Well He had a miserable week. Incredibly. Last night was glorious because it was the first night he slept all night all week. I feel refreshed. We thought he was teething, which he was. He got a new molar this week, but after a trip to the Doctor we found out he also had hand, mouth and foot disease and thrush. No wonder all he did was cry. Poor little guy!!!

A few of the things I've learned this week to make life suck less. First--be grateful--in everything there is something to be grateful for. Second--be patient-try not to do everything at once and just give things time. Second and 1/2 Choose-yep choose a good attitude and happy thoughts. Third-laugh like it's going to go out of style. Life is hilarious. It is....

Oh my gosh that is so so sick. I thought it was bad that there was some in my house. Ewww. Love Isaak's photo.

Oh, and by the way to Jenn, I learned they only need a hole the size of a pen lid. Sick sick sick.

Eww Gross. I have heard they can chew through your wires and create lots of havic once they get in your car (things you hear on a farm). Hey, I just drove that car!!! Maybe if Cory had an ice scrapper in there it would have scared the mouse away!!!

Oh my gosh the mouse thing is disgusting!
I freaked out when a mouse came running out in our living room from behind the t.v a few months ago. Paul was so determined to catch it, though that he went out and bought a sticky trap and caught it that night. (Those sticky traps work!)
Poor little Isaak. What a rough week for him and for mommy. Hope this week is much better for you guys. I love your out look and attitude about it all.

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...
