Ouch!

This baby is getting too big for my tummy! He is a vicious little kicker too. But that's not the worst of my problems.... We have NO idea what we are going to name him!
Help!
Just leave your ideas for boys name in the comments section, we need some inspiration.
Otherwise we will have to go with Ethan and Nora's ideas:
Buffalo Gracias Hall
Tree Love Hall
Ian Nathan Hall (think anything that sounds like Ethan)
Mark Rick Hall
Some are better than others, but any ideas would be helpful.

Wienerschnitzel


I have never taken my kids to Wienerschnitzel, and as far as I can remember I've never been there myself. But today my brother Tim watched the kids while Brian and I went to an etiquette luncheon at BYU (fun!). I gave him some money for lunch, so he took the kids to get hot dogs.
When they pulled up to the drive-through I don't know what picture it was that my kids saw, but I'm assuming it was similar to the one above. Anyway, here is how the conversation went:

Nora: What the heck!
Ethan: There's poo on that hot dog!
Nora: Yeah! Poo!
Ethan: Actually I was thinking more like diarrhea.

Yum.

Cornbelly's '09

There are some things that are just wonderful about living in Utah Valley... There are so so so many things to do as a family. We live about 5 minutes away from a place called Thanksgiving Point, if you've ever been to Utah, you'll know where I'm talking about. Anyway, we decided to forgo season tickets to BYU's football games this year and instead get a membership to Thanksgiving Point. Although we are sad that we weren't going to be attending all the home games, when we thought about the traffic in and out of Provo, it really didn't seem that bad to watch it on TV (not to mention we'd have to get a babysitter for 5+ hours!). Back to Thanksgiving Point, it is a really cool place, and we've already used our pass so many times. Right now they have a festival called Cornbelly's- a kids wonderland. Here are some fun pictures from the lovely evening we spent there:

And if you were wondering, we have had a chance to go to a BYU football game, the first home game in fact. Let's just say it was, well, disappointing. Take a look at these faces....
