Why All The Hard Questions?

Suddenly C has been into asking all sorts of questions. I know they all go through that "Why" stage but I thought that was over when they were 2. Lately they have been hard questions for example:

1. Where does rain come from? ("the sky" was not a good enough answer)
2. How do we get the water in our bottles?
3. How do they make fans?
4. How do they make helicopters? (the toy kind)
5. How did Heavenly Father make our bodies?
6. Where does the Holy Ghost live?

It's awful to say but my brain hurts sometimes from all his questions. He makes me think back to 3rd grade science class and that last episode of "How It's Made". Who knows this stuff? I'm on the verge of answering the age old answer to every question kids can come up with, "Magic". He also wants to know what all his food is. "What kind of animal is bacon Mommy?" I don't even want to think about it right now at the dinner table (as I'm on my 3rd piece). Maybe it's just a boy thing because I don't remember the girls doing this. I guess I need to keep brushing up on my science, gospel, and food processing!

LOL! No, I think that it's a "kid" thing. The girls are in that stage too. Adam still wants to know how people relate to each other. She's your mom, but my grandma...she's the wife of mom's brother, so she's my aunt...etc.

Have NO fear...you can always tell him, "Maybe we should look it up at the library." Fun, fun, fun.

I would much rather have those kind of questions instead of anatomy type questions if you get my drift. Or even worse, while watching The Amazing Race (a supposed family show) not realizing the two gay boyfriends kiss after their success having my children ask "Mommy, why are those boys kissing each other?" That's much worse! I'll take your little one's questions over these!!!

Today's Q&A session with our kiddies went like this: "Mom, are killer bees really killers?" "Nick, that's why they are called killer bees." "Ohhhh! What do they look like?" Nick, google it."

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...
