righteous bandz

kids have been going crazy over silly bandz for a while now. our friends rich and jessica came to us with this idea to make some shapes for the lds people. we've been working on getting it going for a few months and we finally have our product. the website is a work in progress, but is up and running! we have a million ideas for different shapes, but started out with the initials CTR, LDS and BOM and then the shapes of the golden plates, temple and shield.

to all of my fellow bloggers out there, we are trying to spread the word and get our product known. if you mention righteous bandz on your blog with our link, we'll send you a free bag of bandz with your order! email when you've done it and i'll add the free bag to your order. we are also hoping to get the product out to missionaries all around the world. if you have any friends or family on missions, email their names and addresses and we'll send them a pack! contact@righteousbandz.com or rochellero@gmail.com

thanks for your love and support!!

ps. iphone lovers, johne's iphone app is done and will be in the apple store within the week. check out his work!

poor nate

poor nate or should i say crazy nate!!! the boys like to make a slide out of their mattresses in their bedroom. they take one and prop it up on the top of jack s bed and slide down. seemed pretty safe and harmless until this happened!! i was downstairs, heard a thump and a scream. i raced up to find a pool of blood on the carpet near an ikea bench that actually has cushions on top but must have managed to hit the corner. blood was gushing from nate's head so i grabbed a towel and started to apply pressure (when he would let me). jack went and got daddy and we tried to calm him down. we first tried the dr's office since it's around the corner, but it was a friday afternoon and no openings. we then dropped jack off at our neighbors (thanks so much to the jensens!!) and went to the ER. we drove with nate illegally in johne's lap and were lucky not to get in an accident or get pulled over. he was starting to get sleepy on the way there, so we kept him talking and looking for things out the window. there wasn't a wait when we got there and we went right back. they gave nate the shots to numb him up, then stapled his wound. he didn't cry or even move the whole time. he was a champ! luckily there was no other sign of head trauma and he will get the staples removed thursday!

my baby is 3!

i can't believe my baby nate is 3 already!!! we have been trying to call him big nate since we have a new baby, but that hasn't really stuck yet. he's been our baby for almost 3 years and he is so lovey and cuddley it's hard to believe he's not a baby anymore. we are so blessed to have our sweet little nate in our family! it's hard to get mad at him with his big dimpley smile!! nate will love and hug just about anyone and most people automatically love him because of that! we love you nate and happy birthday!!!

nate got a mailbox and it came with a happy birthday card

the key that opened the mailbox was his fav! he carries it around in his pocket!!
