Boutique in the Barn

Go to the BARN!! There is lots of cute stuff. Think Christmas! (It is just right around the corner!)
 I went to the last one and it was awesome!

My Children Love to Read

What?! I haven't found the book I really want. You could help me!

Nevermind, I can do it all by myself!

Which do you like?

AFTER

Cute vs. Cringe

CUTE: Your baby taking the scrambled egg caked spatula out of the dishwasher while your loading and bolt down the hall giggling like he just pulled the biggest prank. Silly baby.

CRINGE: Your baby taking a pancake cutting steak knife out of the dishwasher while your loading and bolting down the hall giggling like he just pulled the biggest prank...and then falling.Yeap, got that gut feeling?....I still have it when I think about it. *shudder* (He was fine, but started crying after I gave him a few words to think about!)

CUTE: Your baby observing and wanting to help you clean.

CRINGE: Your baby observing (earlier) and "helping" you clean the toilet...with the toilet bowl brush...while you are in the other room (that's why it is quiet)... when someone forgot to flush. How would you like to clean up THAT puddle. Good news....he seemed to have the idea down...

So... I guess this disqualifies me from winning Parent of the Year?

He kissed me!!!!!

For once I didn't have to ask in that sugary coated voice. I didn't have to tilt his face to mine and "take" one from him, either. He just came up and planted one on me...then another...then another. With the smack sound to go with it. Making it even more cute, I was laying with my eyes closed...and he leaned into my face and said, "Mom...mom..." KISS!

Doesn't it get any sweeter than that?! I am feeling the love. I will forgive you tonight when you wake up at three to nurse and hog up my side of the bed. But after tonight, you better come up with something new.

Almost as sweet...

as I  remember it....and that was a L.O.N.G. time ago.

I can't wait to see her face when she comes home!

Sorry Owen, you had your weeks' worth of TV in one sitting while your mom tried to figure out how to build this thing off memory alone...guess the instructions didn't make it.

Eternal Family

During scripture study.

Shaunton: So, who in here is part of an eternal family?

(Unison) Ember: Me
              Jaxen: All of us.

Shaunton: How do you know?

Jaxen: Because mom and dad.

Shaunton: What about mom and dad?

(Interlocking his fingers) Jaxen: Because you guys were...squished...in the temple.

Shaunton: You mean sealed in the temple.

Jaxen: Yeah, sealed.
