Enjoying The Rest Of The Summer Redneck-Hick Style


O decided that it was time for her to learn to ride a 2-wheeler. She was really excited about it until she fell the first time and skinned her knee. Now she is content to just sit on the seat and propel herself with her legs out. C also wanted to get into the no training wheels action and begged to have his taken off too. Mind you he is only 3 so I was skeptical. He actually did better than O and was able to ride a little ways. When he fell he just got back up and tried again until the handle bars got shoved into his side and cut him pretty good. He was DONE after that. The training wheels are back on his bike. O is going to have to learn or walk everywhere.
Your eyes are not deceiving you do not adjust your screen. My children are sitting on the back of a pick-up, fishing, in our front yard. What are they fishing for you ask? Well lets see... really not much. Chris tied little plastic fish onto the ends of their lines and they were just casting and reeling in. That's all the fun of fishing for them anyway is the casting and reeling in. Catching a fish is OK, but not much action. We do love to actually fish and have not gone this summer as our licenses have expired. O and K can bait their own hooks with WORMS (can you say EEEEWW) C just loves chasing ducks.

The kids weren't the only ones having a ball, Winston (our cat) was chasing these little plastic fish through the grass. This kept the 2 youngest busy for about 2 hours, better than a babysitter!

My kids practice casting into grandpa's pool. I hate to fish so they only go with grandpa.

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...
