Seaweed, Smith, and blogging

I love when the kids come home and tell me about their lessons in Primary.  It's especially fun when the littlest ones get the facts slightly wrong.  Once K came home and told us that Jesus was sold into slavery (she meant Joseph), she also called the Lamanites, Laman Lights.  Yesterday C came home and told us that he learned all about Joseph, I asked him if it was Joseph Smith and he said no (it was).  He said, "Mom they did not even have light flickers, they only had candles!".  It's just so funny the things they come away with .  

We also had the chance to enjoy a great evening at some friends house last night.  I've been without a kitchen sink for a week now and they invited us for dinner so we didn't have to do dishes.  I love going over there because it's always a new culinary experience for us.  Last night was no exception. She served the pretty normal roast and salad, which was YUMMY, but she also served rice.  Nothing to exciting about that until you add the seaweed/sesame seasoning on top.  It was the first and only time I will probably ever here C ask, "Mom can I have some seaweed too?".  I think Chris was surprised to see me sprinkle some on my rice.  I'm not usually very brave when it comes to trying new food, but I loved it.  I even told Mary I was going to blog about this.  I'm gonna have to see where I can get me some seaweed!

Rice... seaweed... sesame seeds? Have you ever tried sushi ('cuz your almost there)? I am a fan of the cooked sushi varieties, you know crab, shrimp, etc. My kids are HUGE sushi fans; Russ and I are disappointed that they enjoy it. Their love of sushi means we have to share.

SEAWEED IS AWESOME!!! I eat about 4-5 strips a day (4x1.5 inch). Merri and the kids aren't into it but they'll come around. -Jim

She must do this to all her friends! LOL The first time we ate there we had seaweed on our rice too. To us and our kids though it isn't a shock because our kids LOVE Japanese cooking and with that comes SEAWEED. I didn't want to try it with Thom bringing it home for the longest time but once I did. WOW! Yum! It has to be the "right" one though.

Imagine the looks my kids get when they say their favorite food is Sushi!

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...
