Ode To Eden

I spend so much time on this blog doting on Eliza and tuckering about Tucker that I sometimes fail to mention my little angel Eden. We had a fantastic, very busy week together. Here's a little review:


She finally lost her first front tooth. She tried so hard to keep it in her mouth to lose at school so that she could get the special "tooth necklace" from her teacher. It however came out in her mouth Monday morning while she was eating breakfast.

Tuesday we had the 1st grade music concert. Have you ever seen so many 1st graders?



She got to play the xylophone. Boy does that girl have rhythm!

Tad isn't working anymore, so we pawned him off on Eden.




We went with a group of friends to High School Musical. Similar to the movie~HOWEVER, they actually KISS in this one!


Last but not least~One of Eden's favorite activities is playing hair salon while I read her a book. We finished Prince Caspian tonight which she topped off with a "grand finale" hairdo.
Luke named it "exploding volcano"
Gotta love her!

Thank you and thank you again for the picture saga. I just loved it. I feel so sad when I can't be there to observe your kid's experiences and growth. Thank you for helping me observe via blog.

Eden is SUCH a sweet girl! I still remember one of the first weeks in the Ward...I was subbing in Nursery and she and Abby came in, dropped to the floor and immediately removed their shoes and then their tights...much too restricting, apparently, for their comfort. ;)

Cute pics! LOVE the hair do. Maybe you should let her do it for you everyday! Wish you guys lived closer so our kids could hang out, too.

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
