all about the fam

First of all I do have an excuse for not updating for so long...actually a couple of excuses. Our upstairs neighbors who we shared internet with, moved so our access is very limited. Next excuse: I got the swine flu! Poopy, I know. I was followed by Eli getting only the tiniest degree of the flu because his immune system is very similar to Superman's, then finally Axel got the flu. So, we have been quarantined in the apartment for the past two weeks. I'm still fighting the runny nose and cough unfortunately but everyone is doing great.
So, back to life. All of the hubbard women got together in Salt Lake. I discovered that I have not grown out of my characteristic of being prone to car sickness. I made the mistake of sitting in the back from Rexburg to Grace. I haven't sat in the back Forever! Which is obvious because I thought I had out grown getting sick. So, by the time we got to Bailey's, I lost my breakfast. Finally by Brigham City of sitting in the front of the truck, I was feeling better. I guess it isn't all bad, I was guaranteed a front seat permanently. Then Melissa has the longest legs, so she got the front too. So, there you have the sister in laws in the front with our dear mother in law and all of the sisters in the back. It was a great trip though. We ate at Olive Garden and stayed up late chatting. A true girl party. Plus, since it was ALL of the Hubbard women, I finally got to put a face with a lot of names I remember from wedding presents and thank you cards but had never met. It is a great blessing to be a tight knit family.

Everyone posing at olive garden. What we have to wait for a table for seven? I can't believe those aren't readily available! ;)

All the sisters in the back. Lora took the front with me for a bit while we were driving in Salt lake.


I am a mom, so, of course, I have to say something about the snicklefritz. Lately his thing is getting in the dish drainer and having to have BOTH scubbers. Heaven forbid if I take one away to do the dishes...it often produces a full on melt down.

Good news is I finally found another movie he will watch besides mary poppins. ...drum roll...hocus pocus! That Bette Midler is quite the charmer I guess.

And finally I got his first year pictures taken...you know since his birthday was three months ago but who's counting. I took them on campus in the flowers. Not too shabby for someone too cheap to get them professional.
