It snowed, it snowed, it SNOWED!!!!

It snowed today! What else can you possibly talk about on a day like this except for hot cocoa and a good book?

Happy Birthday nana

My mom turned 63 today. I can't believe she's 63, that's almost 70 and 70 is almost 80. You get the picture. I suddenly realized that my moms isn't going to always be here. I depend on her, love her and most days need her to help me get through. We get on each other's nerves I'm sure I remind her of all the qualities she doesn't like so much in my dad, but I know she loves me and wants what's best for me. I know she loves my children and that makes me love her even more.

My little sister came up and surprised her for her birthday and we had the most fun I have had in a while. We laughed almost non stop for the 5 hours she stayed. The kids all got along great, the adults all reminisced and told stories and the food was absolutely amazing. Thanks chez papa!

Happy Birthday, Nana.

why do Kings have servants?

Zeke:"Mom, do you know why King's have servants".

Mom:"Not really sure Zeke, let me think about it."

Zeke:"You don't have to think about it mom, I figured it out. King's have servants to pick stuff up for them."

Mom:"Aren't you lucky you learned to clean up after yourself? You have a great mom to teach you how to do things for yourself".

Zeke:"No, mom they CAN'T pick stuff up, if they did their crown would fall off of their head. It's all about the crown, mom, I figured it out."

Where's the ceiling?

A few days ago Kyra was taking a bath, and always when I have to wash the shampoo out of her hair I ask her to look up at the ceiling so the water won't run into her eyes and always she looks down and it doesn't work.

This time she put her hand up and yelled "STOP". I paused and asked her what's up. Her response? "What's a ceiling mom? I don't know where that is?!?".

Sunday best

We got all dressed up for our Primary Program on Sunday! Zeke kept running away from the camera but I did manage to get one darling little shot of the 3 with their tongues out. It was a great program that brought me to tears when all those darling little kids were singing that they knew they were children of God. Nothing seems to speak louder than the testimony of a child!

Lagoon!!

The kids have been waiting all summer long to go to Lagoon and we finally made it!! It was the perfect day. Even Kyra tried a few rides.

This is the first year I haven't been pregnant or with a new baby so I got to enjoy the roller coasters. The kids were up for most of it but a few were a little daunting for them. Maybe in a year or too and they'll be up to riding the biggest rides we can find in Utah.

we moved!!

Well after 4 weeks of packing and moving and unpacking again, the kids and I are living in a new house. Everyone is settled in nicely and school has started. Our adress is different but my phone and email are still the same if you need to get ahold of me.

I'll post pictures as soon as I find the box the camera is in . . .
