Do you know where your carbon monoxide detector is?

This week we had a scary experience. On Thursday night our fire had died down to coals and we closed the damper to try to keep a little heat in. An hour later our carbon monoxide detector went off. At first I didn't believe it knew what it was doing, but after about thirty minutes of persistent beeping we thought we should call the fire department. They came and we felt silly until the confirmed that we had carbon monoxide through out the house. When we closed the flue we began filling the house with the gas and then when the heater kicked on it blew the gas all through the house. Thanks to the goodness of the Lord and a faithful CO2 detector we are all well and alive. It was a scary close call. The kids were pretty shaken up but they all felt better to get out of the cold and get to sit in the back of the fire truck. Later Jonathan said he was just pretending to be scared but I think this picture tells other wise. Poor thing.Here is our week in pictures. I got the template from Moriginals. And the papers and elements are from Stolen Moments' My life kit.

This week has been a usual busy spring week. Ivan finished the legislative session on Thursday and has had a few days off since to recuperate. We were blessed to tour the new Draper Temple with the kids on Friday. It was beautiful. Here are my scrapbook pages for the week. I fell a bit behind but last night I got caught up. The paper and elements came from Tangie Baxter and is called A Walk in the Park.

Surprise

We have a big or little announcement depending on your point of view. I went to the doctor this week and had this picture taken. Baby #5 is on the way. The baby is due in October so I'm just over 8 weeks along. We are all excited about the addition. The kids are also super excited. Emily of course wants a sister and David hopes it is a boy. I told them to be careful about their comments though so they don't hurt the baby's feelings. That quieted their comments pretty quick.
