We're Private

I've been debating for quite awhile whether or not I should make the blog private and just now took the plunge and made it just for mostly our family. I will make another site for others to view, but for now, this is for me and the kids to write and post whatever we want.

Luke and Liza had doctor appointments this morning. I made the big mistake of taking Tucker...the kid couldn't sit still to save his life. I am not sure if he was ancy or just jealous that he wasn't the one getting the shots. Luke told me he wanted to be brave but didn't anticipate the size of those terrible needles. He bit his lip so hard that it started to bleed~he just didn't want to cry. It completely broke my heart. I told him that I was so proud of him and replied,"yeh, but I didn't do that good, it really hurt." The poor kid. I told him that even brave people cry.

Dave spent the day at the church volunteering for a blood drive. It wasn't his choice activity for a Monday but that is what happens when you are the leader and nobody signs up! Lucky for us, he got off early and surprised the kids with a movie! We took them all to see Kung Fu Panda. Very cute and very clean. The kids were perfect, probably the best behaved in a movie to date.

We did a quick FHE devotional tonight and then off to bed. Dave is at the gym and I am just wrapping up house duties.

That is all for tonight!

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
