The Jedi Master and his Padawan



C came to Chris last night and was crying saying, "Daddy you never fight with me anymore" So Chris told him to go and get the dart guns and they would have a dart gun fight. C said he wanted a light saber fight so here they are. They fought for about 30 minutes until someone got their eye poked! Guess who got his eye poked... C. I guess his daddy is a little competative. The girls were so jealous they had to get in on the action too. It's scary to think we have enough light sabers for them all to play at the same time!

Chris took time this last weekend to spend some daddy time with each child seperately. On Friday C got to go out to dinner and Bowling. We don't have pictures of that I forgot to send the camera, bummer. Then Saturday Chris took O to breakfast and shopping, and a haircut. Last night K and dad went to dinner and shopping for a birthday gift for her best friend. The kids all had a blast and I think Chris did too. Hopefully we can make this a regular thing. Although I have to say I was a bit jealous at first but quickly realized that this was a good thing.

That is so great. I really think the men in our lives have gotten a bad break because they really don't get to spend time with their families on a regular basis. Good for Chris

This is awesome! I know I would have cringed before thinking that I too own enough light sabers. We do let the light sabers out only with family though just so I don't have to apologize or pay someone else's hospital bill. Just kidding. It is awesome that they all had Daddy time! We have been starting to do more of that too and vise versa. It is really fun to spend more one on one time! You hubby cracks me up!! Lovin' it!

Every daddy should train their children how to duel!

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
