(from lds.org) SALT LAKE CITY 27 January 2008 President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97. President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995. The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night from causes incident to age. Members of his family were at his bedside. A successor is not expected to be formally chosen by the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after President Hinckley’s funeral within the next few days.

I forgot to mention in the last entry that while we were in Utah, Alyssa learned the word, snow. So when the snow was coming down yesterday, Alyssa was looking out the window and saying "snow, snow". She loves walking in the snow, not to fond of touching it cause it's cold.

It snowed here!!! For a few hours. Cory took a picture of Alyssa outside.

I got this link in an email. Pretty amazing. http://www.biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=4023

I have gotten some Palm Tree pictures from Cory's cousin Melissa. Thanks Melissa! I have put a couple of them on the sidebar. I love this Picture!

Well I am feeling much better. Being nauseated has went down. Now I have indigestion, heartburn. I am starting to show a little bit. On Friday Cory has a career fair. We bought him a pinstripe suit. I love the suit. I will have to take a picture of him in it. I hope he gets lots of interviews. Alyssa is saying mine. So every time she picks up something at random and says "Mine". She has a lot of character. I am hoping that we can go to the coast in March. I also hope that it will be much warmer.

Alyssa had an allergic reaction tonight. She had hives on her face, chest and some of her stomach, and her arm. We figured out that she is allergic to ranch dressing. After finally getting a hold of her doctor after her hives went down. We finally got a call from an on call doctor. He said that it's not very uncommon for young children to be allergic to ranch.

I have finally updated the blog. I have been not feeling good. I have been having a lot of morning sickness and have been tired.

Well we stayed for my dad's birthday. We went out for lunch, all about 11 of us went to Olive Garden. They sang to my dad for his birthday. Alyssa & My Dad My Dad and I Cory and My Dad Laraine & Alyssa Alyssa really likes Laraine Jordan, Phil & Alyssa

Cory and my cousin Kyle doing donuts.

So Cory and I found a parking lot to do some donuts in and Cory says that I did pretty good. My cousin Rachel didn't want to do Donuts so she rode in the passenger seat while I drove. There is no sound!

So Cory got to snowmobile in my uncle Mark's backyard. Than a couple of days later he went with them up to the canyon, and did a little more.

Well Phil my uncle found a good place to go sledding. So my dad and I joined Phil, Jordan, Cory & Alyssa to watch them sledding. I really love to go sledding, but I didn't go cause of being pregnant. So I missed out which kind of sucks. Ok so Cory and Phil went higher up the hill. Phil's the one sitting down and Cory is the one standing up. Alyssa didn't getting pulled by herself. So Cory had Jordan get on the sled with her. Cory pulling Jordan & Alyssa. Alyssa Jordan Phil took Jordan down and when they got to the bottom they went over a little hill, and Jordan fell out of Phil's lap face first into the snow. Jordan & Alyssa Alyssa wanted to be held. Cory took her down the hill a couple of times and after that she decided she liked the slide better.

The pictures didn't turn out so well because the camera was accidentally left in the car over night and the lens fogged up when it was brought inside. She got a shirt from her great grandma Grandpa & Grandma

Well I have finally had time to update the blog and post pictures. I hope to get more pictures soon but I will post the ones I have . Utah Mountains ( Cory and I love the mountains cause they are so cool.) We took this picture when we were on our way home. Over those mountains is Logan. So the snow started coming down really good. So we got bundled up and took Alyssa outside. She loved the snow. After a while we decided to go in and she was so upset when we started taking off her stuff. Cory playing in the snow. Me playing the snow. Happy Alyssa playing in the snow. Grandma Shoveling

So I was going through the pictures that are on the computer and I came across this picture I thought it was pretty cute. It is Alyssa when she was much younger. My mom made all the hats that she is wearing.

I am trying to change stuff around. I am waiting for a picture CD from my aunt, I hope to get it soon. So hopefully soon I will have a new layout, pictures, etc. We are home. We got home last night. It was nice to finally not sleep on an air mattress.
