Mother and Father know best
Remember back in the day, we used to get in so much trouble for eating in the family room? We'd always say, "but I won't spill, Dad." He'd reply, " of course you will, you always do." And by some force of nature, some freak accident would always occur and food would be spilt.
Now that I'm a homeowner and realize carpet is a beast to keep clean, I try to be more careful about those kinds of things. I don't often eat in carpeted areas of our home, and I take extra precautions when I do.
Well, the other day, I had a busy morning and was exhausted. I put Caleb down for a nap, made myself a bowl of delicious chicken and dumpling soup and headed down to the computer to do some googling while Caleb slept. I hit the first step of the stairs and that wonderful force of nature previously mentioned stepped into my like. I fell down the stairs. Besides a carpet burn on my middle toe, me and the baby are fine. My carpet, that is another story. Soup was everywhere! In my hair, all over my face, on the walls, ALL over my carpeted stars. First things first, I made some toast. It was already 2 hours after the normal time I eat lunch and I was famished. Then I began the wonderful 2+ hours of cleaning up chicken and dumplings. I was going to take a picture but couldn't find the camera. It really was a sight to see.
Moral of the story: Faja and Maja know best.

Christmas Program
Kraig has this really AWESOME Christmas song that i would like him to play on Christmas Eve. He said he would but there is a catch..... he doesn't want to be the ONLY person doing something (weird huh) so he said that the only way he would perform is if EVERYONE participated!!!!!! Yep you heard me EVERYONE has to do something. Now i know that not all of us have something that they can "perform" , but guess what i dint care! It doesn't matter what you do during Christmas Eve as long as you do something. You could read a story, tell a random Christmas fact, or anything that you can think of. It doesn't even have to be Christmas related. You could do a slide show, a puppet show...but please no peep shows!!!! David you could bring your mandolin...Storey and Caleb could draw a picture. I just think it would be really fun to have everyone do something. And i would love to help out in any way that i can! If you really wanted to you could even do lots of things :) I am just sooooo excited for Christmas! oh BTW Josh and Karina you can still do stuff even though you wont be with us... (tear tear) you could send in a picture, or a story or something! i love you all and cant wait to see you!

SLC here we come!
After a lot of thought and a LOT of prayer Kraig has decided to change his major to architecture. I am very excited for him and that he has found something that he has a passion for. Unfortunatley the only school in Utah to have an architecture program is the Univeristy of Utah. So January 1st we will be moving from our cute little home in our cute little valley down to Salt Lake City. It will definatley be a change and we are sad to go but know that it is the right thing to do.

Merry Christmas
So FINALLY today after 10 months, we were emailed Caleb's picture with Santa from our Christmas party last year. It cracks me up. I didn't even know if Caleb knew who Santa was until he saw him at the party, but he got really excited to sit on his lap (probably because he saw how much all the other kids got excited) The two kids in front of Caleb were both his age and both LOST it, crying hysterically, when it was their turn. I thought that would upset him, but he was still excited, screaming and all.
When it was his turn, this is what he looked like the entire time:
He got excited again when his turn was over and santa gave him a candy cane.
I showed Caleb the picture and asked him who the man was and he said, "Santa Clause. It's Christmas time!" Not quite Christmas time yet, but it's right around the corner!

And now the rest of the story
OK, so here is my rebuttal and clarification of the FACTS in the FBI story.
1. I didn't "forget" about the check. When Arlene called me, I thought she said that a woman called saying that she had a $1oK check written out TO US, which is a very typical scam technique (I get emails regularly telling me I have a check for over a million dollars sitting in some foreign country).
2. As soon as I talked to the woman and she said she had a check I HAD WRITTEN out for $10K, I immediately knew what check she was talking about. Last fall semester (a year ago) in my mission prep class, I asked who could use a check to cover their entire mission expenses. I made out a check to the first student who raised his hand, then I had a different student sign the check using his own name and signature.
3. The purpose for the whole thing was as a lead-in for a discussion on priesthood authority and the concept of "power of attorney:" that missionaries (and all other priesthood holders) have real power to bind God into a covenant relationship with others. My check to the students was non-binding because the signer had NO AUTHORITY to sign and thus bind ME into an obligation to pay, any more than a Baptist minister can bind God into a covenant with one of his parishoners.
4. Because the check was signed by the other student (something I very deliberately did) I knew that there was NO WAY that I would lose $10K [if I had such a sum in the bank - which I DON'T], because I never signed the check.
5. Finally, even if I did have $10K in the bank and the check was indeed cashed, the bank would be liable to reimburse me the money since without MY signature (which COULD NOT BE FORGED, since I made sure there was a clearly different name and signature on the check) the check was NOT a legal financial instrument.
All that having been said, I should not have let the student keep the check on the off chance that a year laterit would fall out of his scriptures, be found by a student, and cause my poor beloved wife to call the FBI!

CALL THE FBI
Yesterday, mom came home to a message on her answering machine saying that this girl had found a $10,000 check written out from dad to someone. 
Courtney and I were over when mom first listened to it and our fraud alerts were flashing! Mom wanted to call the police, but we didn't think that was the best avenue to go down. She did talk to dad and he didn't know what was going on. Alan's dad just retired from the financial department for the state of Utah and I've heard him talk about this kind of thing before. Mom was very adamant about doing something, so I called my father in law. He said that this sort of thing is happening a lot and suggested calling the Utah FBI fraud division, which we did. Mom got voicemail so she gave her name and # and a brief explanation of the situation.
Dad DID write a check for $10,000 for an object lesson in one of his institute classes. He then put the $10,000 check into his scriptures, which fell out onto the floor in one of the halls at the Logan Institute of Religion. A totally innocent, and non-fraudulent, honest girl found the check for large sums of money and wanted to return it to it's owner.

After calling the FBI and getting all hyped up over the situation we found out the REAL story-Dad DID write a check for $10,000 for an object lesson in one of his institute classes. He then put the $10,000 check into his scriptures, which fell out onto the floor in one of the halls at the Logan Institute of Religion.

...
Moral of the story#1: Don't call the FBI until the full story is disclosed.
Moral of the story #2: Don't write fake checks for large sums of money and then lose them and THEN forget about them.
