High Councilman Banned From Ward

That was the topic of conversation in the foyer yesterday during Sacrament meeting. We had a High Council speaker in our ward and apparently during his talk (that was about Christmas) he said there was no Santa Clause!!! I missed that part of the talk. I was in the foyer tending to a friends baby. Right after he said that there were about 5 moms in the foyer that were really upset about it. (me too as O has not figured that one out yet) It was so funny. You would have thought that he announced that polygamy was being reinstated and we all had to live the law of consecration again. They all concluded that their kids really don't listen to the talks anyway so it would be fine. Hopefully none of us have to have that "talk" with our little ones due to a High Councilman's slip! The one day that we are glad our kids never listen in Sacrament!

That's funny, but not.
I saw your snow comment on my blog- you are right, we are lucky not to have it all winter. It's like a special treat instead of a constant thing to deal with. This is the most we've seen in the three years we've been here, and apparently it's thicker where we are (middle of nowhere). It's snowing again, but at least it's not 15 degrees. That's when your snot freezes. And that's just gross. Do you get used to it? Because you know that here we only wear sweatshirts and a long sleeve tee and we are fine, and during the colder winters we might get a jacket. Jocelyn told me a few months ago that this was going to be a cold winter (farmer's almanac, I think?). So far, she's right.

That is too much! I would have told Bubba and Tubbs he was kidding. But I guess first I would have been shocked they were paying attention in the first place.

I would have been fuming!! I still have my big boys convinced there is a Santa and Nick would have so caught that. What a killjoy! I would have walked up to him chewed him out. Here's an idea, go leave a lump of coal on his doorstep!

I hope you don't mind, but I just had to blog about this because I was sure my family would think it was so funny. Another copy cat!

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...
