Chloe Marie Chantry

Chloe was born May 13th at 5:40 am after 22 hours of labor. She was 7 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. Yes, it was hard but we are so happy she is here! She is such a sweet girl and we love her so much!!!

Teaching Primary

We have been teaching primary for the past 1 1/2 years and it really is so much fun! They're not always the most reverent and I can't say that it is always as easy as it sounds, but they are so cute and say the darnest things. This Sunday in sharing time they were talking about the hard work that mom and dads do in the home. They asked the primary kids what would happen if their mom decided not to cook, clean or take them to various activities. One of our kids in our class yelled out that "HE WOULD DIE!" I wonder if his mom knows how much he cares about what she does. Every week we come home with a smile on our face because of something one of our 7 year olds said.

Fun in the Kitchen

Well, definitely not fun...our upstairs neighbors did laundry which has never been a problem in the past, but the pipes got clogged and oh, the mess! We got home last Friday from work and there was water all over our kitchen floor. It had overflowed from our sink and made a detergent smelling pool of water. We mopped up about 20 gallons of water off our floor and have been working on bleaching everything in our kitchen...floor, kitchen utensils, kitchen rags, etc. Ironically, I am doing a presentation for my epidemiology class on cholera, which happens to be spread through eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with sewage...definitely, makes me motivated to be obsessed with making sure the kitchen has been completely disinfected!

Scott and I had a nice valentines day even though it didn't turn out way we had planned. We were going to take the front runner to SLC and watch a movie at the i-max theatre, go out to eat and just walk around. After eating a yummy breakfast (that I made:)) we got ready and left. However, we didn't get very far when we realized the roads were EXTREMELY icy. Scott would barely tap on the brakes and we'd slide. So, we decided to forget about going to SLC and play it by ear. A few hours later, after the sun had won it's way out through the clouds, we went to Wal-Mart (I know that sounds stupid) but we had fun picking out stupid little gifts for ourselves. I got pillow cases and a movie and Scott got wrenches and drill bits. It was great to have a day where we didn't feel like we had to be anywhere in particular and just enjoy hanging out with each other!
