Here a pig, there a pig, everywhere a PIG PIG!

So us girls in the office FINALLY got our H1N1 shots! We have seen SO many people who have had it, thought they had it or are just plain scared of getting it.

So as a healthcare worker (note I am not licensed, but I have been in the biz for over 10 years now, I kinda know what I am doing) here are some things you should or shouldn't worry about to all my friends and family.

YES! You should get the H1N1 vaccine if offered. This is free of charge as the government has issued the vaccine this year. You may still be billed for the administration (i.e. the nurse giving you the shot, which is legal).

"I am throwing up! I have the Swine!" Uh--wrong-o! Like the seasonal flu, the swine flu has different symptoms and vomitting isn't necessarily one of them.

How can you prevent getting the Swine? Well, if we lived in a perfect world and if people stayed home when they were sick the virus wouldn't spread. Or if people didn't cough on others and coughed in their arm rather than their hand and then shaking a person's hand. Typical prevention would resolve this. Now I am not saying walk around with a mask on your face, but certainly be aware of your surroundings. Shon went to the store the other night and just drenched the shopping cart with sanitizer. All he got was funny looks. But atleast he knows the cart was clean!

If you think you have the H1N1, call your doctor to discuss your symptoms. Symptoms of the H1N1 could be a different viral infection.

If I get the H1N1, what do you do? STAY HOME! Lots of rest and push tons of fluids..mostly water.

There ya go. It's out there.

Love y'all!

Bambi isn't dead....

So today was the end of the deer hunt. It lasted one week. And no deer. Yay for me! But boo for Shon. Ironically, each year we have been married he hasn't been able to shoot a deer. Maybe my praying that he doesn't bring one home is work! Just kidding honey! Shon enjoyed his time with his family and he took Ashton out with him for his first time observing the hunt. Ashton had a blast. I know Shon was able to take some pics, so I will try to get those up soon.

Shon is 30!!!

So, as we all know, I still have camera issues. Shon turned 30 years old on the 14th of this month! We kinda had a day planned, then it rained and I wound up having to work later...so we played games at his sister's house and hung out. Ashton and I were compiling a list of 30 reasons why we loved him. I had to stop at number 5 cause it was just too darn cute. You will see why.

Me: "Ashton, let's make a list of things we love about daddy!"
Ash: "ok, I can start. He hunts!"
Me: "ok, I have one. He loves his family with all his heart"
Ash: "Yeah...oh! He loves broccoli"
Me: "Yes, he sure does huh? But what else can you think of"
Ash: "He can work on cars."
Me: "ok"
Ash: "I love him cause I am his son".

Can you really go on after that? I can't...

So we can't really come up with 30 reasons cause there are things words can't describe. We love you Shon! Happy Birthday!

Warming the bench today, tomorrow the NFL...

Ashton is in his 4th year of playing flag football. His team name is the Steelers. He LOVES it. He gets upset when isn't the quarterback all the time. So we always have to tell him that a football TEAM consists of more than just the quarterback. But he always corrects us and tells us that the quarterback makes the most money. And....well we can't argue with that one!

From our neck of the woods...

Hello there family and friends! Just thought we would give y'all a little update before the chaos runs mad in our home.
First and foremost...we have the best family and friends one could ever ask for right now!
Shon's aunt in Ogden, Utah (about 2 hour drive north of us) had a bunk bed that we really needed. Well Shon's truck is dependable, but not 2 hour drive dependable! So Shon's uncle drove through that and picked up the bunkbed for us and delivered it right to our front door! It was totally cool! So that was a total blessing because we were totally stressing about it. The original plan was to drive up there, but we had to go get new tires on our car and that took longer than necessary so he just went up and did it for us! We love our Uncle Mikey!
Then....we had found a crib that we thought would be ok for our little 2 year old, but we really aren't sure how long he would last in there...if at all. So one of my friends sold me her toddler bed for super cheap and it is practically brand new! I love my friends!
There are still some little odds and ends things we need. And we still need to get some safety things like our first aid kits and another smoke detector. Our biggest thing is car seats. I am still working on that one!
Our caseworker was thinking the end of this month, but Shon and I have been so busy with classes, work and Ashton's football that WE are actually behind on schedule and not the state...imagine that!
A lot of our friends and family have asked us numerously if there is anything they can do...so we have created a little wish list...by all means, we aren't asking for these things, but to put some peace out there on those who keep asking, here it is:

1. Booster seat(high back-David is kinda petite) and a 5 point harness carseat
2. twin, full and toddler mattress sheets for boys (obviously).
3. clothes, clothes and more clothes...boys are messy...they can never have enough clothes!
4. sippy cups
5. any toddler toys...Ashton's toddler toys were given away, so we have very little.
6. first aid kits (3 total)
7. fire estinguisher (we need a specific one required by the state).
8. Plug in safe's....the little plastic things you put in your socket for little kids.
9. A lifetime supple of spray and wash (I am kinda kidding, but not really!) lol

Anywho, the sooner we get things taken care of on our end the better, so we are just chuggin a long trying to get the little things done to get it ready. Thank you all for your calls, emails, thoughts and prayers. We love you all!

Our new family picture!

So we were all up the canyon finishing off the summer season for BBQ's this past weekend and we all took some new pictures...thanks to family for posting these!

You might be a Frary...

1. If Ashton has started football season...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
2. If Shon is yelling at the television watching sports (in particular-football) and the cops are call...you know it is fall at the Frarys'
3. If we are MIA (aka missing in action) on Friday nights because we are at a Pleasant Grove football game...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
4. If Shon has all of his hunting gear ready (regardless that his deer hunt is over a MONTH away)...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
5. If Shon has a beard growing out of control...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
6. If Cristina is setting up decorations (usually more than Christmas decorations)...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
7. If you constantly see all of us watching Hocus Pocus or It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown...you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
8. If Cristina is insisting on getting pumpkin roll scent for the scentsy burner....you know it is fall at the Frarys'.
9. And the final reason you will know it is fall at the Frarys...when two little munchkins named David and Jorden are here so we can dress them up for Halloween!

Happy Fall!
