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.

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...
