random pictures

I finally downloaded all of my pictures off of my phone. random, pixelly thoughts in no particular order:



Mrs. Cloud's Thanksgiving feast and program. This is the 5th one I've attended over the years, but the 1st where my kid belted out all of the words. Go Tuck!

Luke on a random Sunday.


Eden with some friends at Disney on Ice. It was a fantastic night at a new arena 20 minutes from our home.


Boutique #2

"Holiday Boutique Gone Chic" We LOVED Snoqualmie Ridge!




Bumper of a car that I rolled into at a stop light. Fortunately I just barely scratched it...



Eden's field trip to the Salmon Hatchery


Eden in her school play "Pinocchio" All she wants for her birthday is acting classes!

Luke playing ball at school. They let the parents come and eat lunch with the kids a couple of times each year and then hang out with them at recess. fun times...
The only pic I have of Luke at soccer. Looks a little uncomfortable...

Tuck in a PR costume with his cousin at his side. Don't know what happened to the other half of the pic? Luke and Cameron in the background playing Wii. We miss our cousins :(
Family day at Lagoon. Probably the funnest day we had all year. My kids LOVED it. Luke on the Colossus for the 2nd time and 3 year old Tucker on the Tidal Wave. Those kids have no fear!




Dave w/the men heading out on their guys weekend. Gotta love that van!
Little Liza at a lake in Yellowstone

Wow, you are the best! Loved every picture. Isn't it a blessing that in this world there are people who just love to work with and teach kids and are good at it. Mrs. Cloud is unique.

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...
