I have started a second blog. This one is about my efforts to shed the 20 pounds I have gained since I got married. The address is weloveskinny.blogspot.com. I am excited about it now, let's see how it works!
Growing up in Utah, never serving a mission, I really didn't get asked much about my religion. I didn't have to think much about what I believe or try to explain it to anybody. I had a simple testimony of my religion and that got me through tough times. Since moving here, working, making friends that aren't of my same religion, flying back and forth from Wisconsin to Utah several times, and my parents being called as mission presidents, I have had several opportunities to talk to people about what I believe and answer questions. Some questions (how many wives does your husband have) are hilarious to me! Some questions (do you wear special underwear) have caught me off guard but have given me a chance to explain some of my belief system. I decided, mostly for my own benefit but also for some of those who have asked questions, to answer questions I have been asked and to explain what we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, believe.

Ok, I have so many pictures and I hate to flood FaceBook or family text messages with pictures of Nix but wanted to be able to share them for people who want to see them! So this post is going to be just pictures. The pictures go from newest to oldest. Nixon's coming home from the hospital outfit and his jammies he wears today. He's grown! Big boy jammies Just need a newsies hat! Handsome church fella Nixon is happy because mom actually got ready for once! Out for a walk. Does it look like we are in the middle of nowhere? Well we kind of are but this is right in front of our house. The Bostrom side babes All the Lapray side kiddos The flight home from Utah. He did AWESOME!!
I thought I would post an update since we had so many kind comments, well wishes and prayers, along with texts and phone calls asking how our little lady is doing. On top of that, when we were preparing for the surgery I loved reading blogs and seeing updates on other kids who had undergone surgery for craniosynostosis. I thought I would pay it forward! Finally, I know I need to journal about this, so writing this post will allow me to have it for all of us to look back on when Ruby is old enough to understand what happened! I am killing lots of birds with one stone! We knew going into the surgery that she would get swollen to the point that her eyes would swell shut. I thought it would be interesting for people to see the transformation in her face over the first couple of days. Right after the surgery they told us the swelling peaks at 24 hours so I started counting down the minutes until we would start to see improvements. 20 hours after the surgery, they start...
