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!!

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...

Another day, another blog!

Anyone who knows me well knows (don't you love how I start all my posts this way?!) anyway, you know that I love good referrals, hot tips, good finds, etc...I decided to compile a list of all my favorite referrals/finds and make a blog. Check it out: www.soundsecrets.blogspot.com (link it link it!) If you have any good referrals, hot tips, etc. please email them to me. I am in desperate need of a good general physician and Mexican restaurant---do you have one? In other news... My dear friend Becky and I ran the "Susan G. Komen, Race for the cure" yesterday. We originally did it as part of our training for a relay that we are running in July, but it turned into an incredible, emotional experience. Most of the women in the race either had cancer or were either running for someone they knew that had cancer. It was difficult (to say the least) to keep a dry eye throughout. It was definitely worth every penny of that $30.

Lesson Learned

Have you ever been in a grocery or Target type store with all your kiddos and had a lovely employee tell your children to "please sit down in the cart!"? Well I have...several times. Each time I politely smile and say sorry, but all the while my brain is filled with smart aleck comments like "hey, last time I checked, I was their mother," or, "lady it's either standing up in the cart or pulling product off your shelves-you choose!" I have been sufficiently humbled. This morning, like all mornings, I put Eliza in her high chair to get her out of my hair for a moment so that I could make breakfast. She immediately climbed out and was about to stand on the table when she lost her balance and fell to the floor. I raced over to pick her up and noticed that while she was trying to scream nothing was coming out of her mouth. I picked her up and she started seizing, her eyes rolled back into her head and then she went limp. No words can describe the thoughts...
