Super Hero's

Eve and Amelia are a Super Duo Team. They like nothing better than to tie on some "capes" and run up and down the hall with them flying in the breeze.

Just to tired..

Chris had worked all night Friday and got home about 8:30 Saturday morning. He doesn't like to take naps on Sat. if he can help it because then he won't sleep that night. Well, he had been down on the floor playing with the girls and after they went on to something else, he just lay down on the floor. He fell asleep almost instantly. You could here the snores in the other room. A plate even fell and broke on the floor and he didn't budge. I guess this is what you look like when you are just to tired......

Up Date

Just wanted to update you on Noah's Diorama. He ended up getting 1st place. They gave him a little blue ribbon out of construction paper. But he was tickled. They said his was the most creative and looked most like he did it himself. We are proud of him.

A Beloved Prophet

This morning as I learned the news of our sweet prophet Gorden B. Hinckley's passing, I am sad. I have been reading his biogrophy (only half way done)and feel like I know him. I read a talk from him a few days ago about finding the good and positive in all things. So I am uplifted and looking for the good. What a wonderful life and example he has led. We will miss his wit and voice at conference but I know he was soooo happy to be reunited with his sweet Marjorie. How wonderful for forever families. What a blessing to live in modern times, with modern revelation and direction. God has not abandoned us to our own demise, we have living apostles that will carry on the work. For Family Home Evening tonight I have chosen teach of Pres. Hinckley. We will talk of his Six B's. I made a poster for each of the kids to hang in their rooms as reminders to B their best. I hope we will all strive to as Pres. Hinckley would say "Be a little better every day".

DINOSAUR DIORAMA

TA DA!!! This is Noah's Diorama Project. We have been working together on it for over a week. A little here and a little there. That way it wasn't so much to do all at once. He and I had a good time painting and coming up with ideas. Eve and Amelia wanted so badly to paint too, we had to keep them out of our way. Noah did most of everything except the cutting I did most of that. He picked out some rocks and we hot glued those on. You can't really see them in the photos. I think they are being judged so I hope he does well. It was fun to do this project together. Picture at the bottom (since I can't get a picture attached to this post.)

Officially a thumb sucker

I guess it's official now...I have a thumb sucker. Noah didn't take a pacifier nor did he suck his thumb. Both s have had pacifiers and were hard to break from them. Infact Amelia still has one for naps and bed time. But Ethan looks like he prefers his own thumb. Check out the photo at the bottom.

Our Song

When Chris and I were dating one of the first things we ever did was go to a singles dance. Of coarse we were in Utah so there were always plenty to go to and lots of people there. One of the first slow dances we ever danced to was Alphaville's "Forever Young". I don't think we ever really decided that we have a song that is just "our song", but every time I would here that song it would take me back to when we were dating. I guess a few years ago I mentioned that song to Chris and we decided it would be our song. We don't here it very often on radio and in fact we don't own a copy of the song either. I found it and added it to my playlist here so you can here our song. Do you and your honey, sweet heart, or loved one have a special song?
