Memorial Week

I am really going private this week~would you mind sending me your email addresses one more time? please please :) I accidentally deleted the post with the saved emails.
Now for my weekly report:
We had a great Memorial Day...saw Prince Caspian~which I highly recommend! Then a trip to the Tahoma National Cemetery.

(sorry,can't figure out how to rotate the scan)



Tuck and Luke started another session of swimming this week. Tuck is only 2 1/2 but the nice lady let him in anyway. He doesn't listen to a thing she says, but sure loves the water. That child has NO FEAR.

Eden had a piano recital on Friday and won the award for practicing the most. I was a little too excited for her, and felt (and probably looked) like one of those crazy pageant moms (you know, the kind where the award is more important to the parent than the kid). Too bad I am not as diligent with 1st grade homework. I guess that is what happens when your mother is a music teacher ~ priorities,priorities...

My sister Makay moved into her home yesterday. She lives 1.1 miles away from me :)


That's all for now...see you next week!

I can't believe she lives that far away from you...I thought it would be closer...It's nice to have a sister close.

Love the note Eden won. And don't worry about the Stage Mom, thing...you're just enthusiastic! ;)

So what did you guys say to Eden at the grave site? She didn't finish writing what you told her. :)

We took our kids to a cemetery as well and Finn had to lay by all the graves and pretend to be dead. Good thing we were the only people there.

Hey, I thought Eden was fantastic at the recital and what parent wouldn't be so proud!! I don't think it is possible to be too excited for your children...I think they need that from us!

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
