Mile Long Post

So many things have been going on here, when I started taking pictures off my camera I realized that there was lots that I had not blogged. So here goes, bear with me.

The other day I was at the dollar store, we love the dollar store, and I found these really cute puppet shows. There was a stage and several finger puppets for several stories. I could only find all the puppets for Little Red Riding Hood so that's what we got. The kids had a blast for FHE doing a show for us. K was the narrator aka Grandma, O was Little Red Riding Hood, and C was, you guessed it, the Wolf. They have had so much fun with this and it only cost $4.00. What a bargain!


This is their tattle tale face!
O lost another tooth on Thursday. She was very brave and let dad pull it out. I know her face looks funny but it was the only shot that I could get that wasn't fuzzy. She was very excited when the tooth fairy brought her $1.10 (I don't know what that was all about).Finally I was inspired the other day to reupholster my dining room chairs. We bought this set when we bought the house. Our house has an eat in kitchen and a dining room so we needed an extra table and chairs. We do a lot of entertaining and it has been great. The set came with white upholstery and was quickly stained and looked awful. I have not been able to find one fabric that I love but have several that I love so I thought since my house is really not any one style why not have my chairs reflect that too. They are all different and I think they look lovely.

Looks good. One of these days you are going to have to teach me all of your talents!!! I have a whole living room set that could use a facelift.

I am so jealous of your many obvious talents. I struggle just sewing a button on straight! Ha Ha! Love the chairs! We just bought a new dining set, but opted for the non padded wood chairs. Love my boys, but they are just way too messy for it to stay looking nice. Right on to you for having clean kids! Ha Ha!

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...
