Sunday Morning Bliss


Every child has there issue right? For Luke it is clothing. We have a 30 minute battle every Sunday on what he refuses to wear. This morning he told me the vest I wanted him to wear looked like a "sick piece of salmon". I gave up and made Tucker wear it (thus the pic of Tuck in the "sick piece of salmon vest").


If it were up to Luke, he'd be in basketball shorts and a T-shirt 24/7. This is an improvement...2 years ago we couldn't get him to wear anything at all.









As long as it is pink, they are happy!



And then there is Dave. He doesn't have a clothing issue but rather an addiction to webkinz. He tells me that he is "just helping" Luke earn money and that he "needs to make sure the animal is fed"...ring any bells? Jeff?

I'm so glad to know that there are other fathers addicted to Webkinz too!! I thought I was all alone in my battles. :)

Don't let the men know, other wise they'll turn it into a contest on who can make the most money!!!

OK that is SO funny.."a sick piece of salmon"...I loved his explanation about how eagles soar too..such a funny kid. It freaks me out how much he looks and acts like Dave! He's Dave reincarnated..a mini Dave!
Liza is so stinkin' cute. I think she looks so much like your little sister. I can definitely see a lot of Ence in her. I'm lovin' your boutique by the way! Lovin' it!!

Mother's Day

One of the things I really wanted for Mother's Day this year was a picture of me with my children.OK, I really should have thought of something less stressful: "Come here Tucker" "There's a piece of candy on the chair" "Say, Thomas the train I love you" "Please come back..." "No more pictures for me" Thanks to Dave for his patience, we did get some decent shots. I must write for the record how grateful I am to be a mother. There is nothing on earth I would rather be doing right now. I honestly love them so much. Thank you NB, I just had to steal this from your blog: Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby. That Somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “Normal,” is history. Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct That Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother. That Somebody never helped a fourth

Child Rearing Race

My visiting brother from Utah and I were left without spouses for 4 days. This wouldn't have been such a big deal, but our kids had already been together 24/7 for 6 days and our boys couldn't think of anything better to do than fight. I don't know about you, but 1 entire day of fighting is enough to drive one mad--now times that by 4. Near the end of the week(and our rope) my brother and I had a heart to heart and posed the question~what in life could be more mentally difficult than this? The only thing I could think of (now remember, we'd just run the Ragnar) was running a marathon. Someone once told me that if you could mentally get through a marathon, you could get through anything. So, I put it to the test...I ran a... OK , not a marathon, but a 1/2. Raising children and running difficult races are so much the same. They both require so much of you emotionally, physically and mentally and yet the end reward is so gratifying. I can't express the joy I felt yester

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours
