Favorite Past Time

Lily's new favorite thing to do is spit. She can work up a pretty good dribble...

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Today Paige's school is celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss. (Technically his birthday was yesterday.) In honor of him, her school is having a special day with stories and games. And the best part....they get to wear Pajamas to school!!! It was all the kids could talk about in our Primary class yesterday. Paige has been talking about it for a week, too. Oh, to be a kid again.

I'm a Big Kid Now

Lily had her 4 month appointment today. She weighed 16lbs 13oz (97%) and she was 26.5" long (99%)! Yep, she's a big one. She certainly belongs in this family.

4 Months Cute!

Lily is four months old today. I can't believe how fast time has gone! She is a very sweet baby, which makes life very easy for Mom and Dad. Four months is a milestone. It is a welcome to solid food. She likes it so far and I am sure that it will only add to her sweetness. (She is very sweet, especially on her munchy legs.) We all love her and are very glad she is part of our family. Happy 4 months, Munchkin!

President Hinckley

President Gordon B Hinckley

1910-2008

I will sincerely miss this man! He was such a perfect example of how a man, brother, son, father and husband should be. I think the thing I will miss most is his sense of humor. One of my favorite things he talked about were the "be's". If we all followed them, we would be a much happier people.

Did I say Lucky?

What was I thinking with my last post? Okay, okay, I know that I am lucky. But am I the only one that thinks that the line between funny and fiasco is sometimes very thin. Case in point: After picking Paige up from school this afternoon, I decide to run to Walmart to pick up some groceries. Well, normally, if I take all three kids I can guarantee that I will be a big grump before I leave the store. (Okay, let's face it. I am a grump 30 seconds into the experience.) So, we make it through with minimal damage and as we are leaving the store after checking out Caleb announces that he has to go potty. So, here I am with Lily in the carseat and a cart full of paid-for groceries. So, I make a hasty decision. I have Paige take him in for me while I wait just outside the door with the groceries and baby. After a couple of minutes, they both come out. Paige explains that Caleb won't go for her. So, I proceed to tell Caleb that he will have to wait until we get home. He just says, "awight..I go hewe." So once again, about five minutes later, out walks Paige, announcing to the world that she has had an accident. (I thought Caleb was the one going potty in this story.) And close behind her is my naked son. Yep, you heard right. Well, I guess technically he would've had to have his shirt off to be naked, but from the waist down....NAKED! He is holding his shoes, pants and underwear and crying that he is "scared." I frantically tell Paige to stand by Lily and sneak around the corner and quickly dress my son. Needless to say, I dart out of there quicker than you can say white trash. Like I said: a fine line between funny and fiasco. Lucky for my kids it was a majority funny....
