Houston we have a climber!

L has become quite the climber.  He climes everything he can.  We had to turn his bouncy seat upside down because he kept climbing on it to look out the window.  Yesterday he climbed into a laundry basket, up onto the ottoman, then to the coffee table.  I'm dreading the day I find him on top of the fridge. (yes, that has happened before I think it was K, she was 18 months old)



C wants to be a cowboy, but may have to put his plans on hold since, and I quote, "Amelia does not want to live in the West".  He has decided that he will be marrying Amelia and apparently she is going to wear the pants in the family!!  Here he is sporting his new hat, boots, and the stick horse that I made him.
L has decided that the pool is cool!  He loves to go and play and as long as it's not too bright he's good.
This is O getting a Mini Mani.  The reading program at the library this year gave out coupons for the beauty college, you could get a free haircut or mini mani.  Well I was forcing her to use her coupon for the haircut because I was sick of the fighting and screaming in the morning.  K took pity on her and gave O her coupon for the mini mani so O had a great day of pampering.  Forgot to get an after of the haircut but it's cute.


L loves playing outside.  If he's cranky I can just take him and let him run around the yard, well actually crawl around the yard.  Here's him getting a ride from his big brother.  I wasn't home and apparently this was right before the big crash where L ended up under the car with his arms and legs flailing out the sides.  Chris did say he laughed and couldn't get the camera fast enough for a picture!

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...
