Sleepy Time

So I gave up about two years ago, trying to get the boys to sleep in different beds. They refuse to have different bedrooms, but I thought two twin beds would give them each "space". They insist on sleeping in the same bed and even on the same "end". Tonight I go up to check on them before I go to bed and look what I found.

Charby who went to bed in her own bed, sneaks to the boys room, and crawls on top of their pillows. They never stop making me laugh!

When left alone in the kitchen....

Another Day..another story

Today Nick lost a tooth at school. We usually have a hard time remembering to put it under the pillow!! He said he would rather call Grammy and tell her, because she gives more money!!

Shelley got a haircut yesterday. I think it looks really good. I thought you might like to see it.

She doesn't like to have her clothes on... I think this is typical for most two year olds. She went and got her blanket, smoothed it out on the fireplace and sat for a pose. This will be the one we show future boys and she will HATE it. I think it is just about the most adorable thing I have ever seen! I love my children!!

A Day in the life..

Charby is awaiting the boys in her tutu and her princess motorbike. She just removed her high heels before she jumped on her bike.

School has started and we are back to homework. Nicholas has to write a story 3 times a week. Here is a RARE smile while he writes his story about his dog...Rosco.

This boy can read like a madman, add numbers in secounds, but can't figure out how to put his shirt on correctly.. Too Funny!

Charby will not be left out. She has her own homework on her laptop!! Just a glimpse into the everyday life. It is so much fun.

Kayaking on the Lake

Grandma got new Kayak's for Christmas. We brought them to our house so that we could explore the lake in our neighborhood. Helix, their dog, also went for a ride.



Shells took these pics with his phone. I am so glad he can upload them to the computer.



Is this a crash?

This Christmas was a whirlwind of greatness sprinkled with numerous blessings. I am so thankful to get to celebrate the season of my Savior's birth with a wonderful husband, three terrific children, and a GENEROUS family. Presents were bountiful, spirits were high, and we are to put is simply, SPOILED. I can't believe it is already 2009 and my oldest will turn eight.
All through the season, we were trying to explain to Charby that Santa was coming. Her only ideas about Santa were that she gets her picture taken with him and he gives out candy canes. So whenever anyone, and everyone, asked her what Santa was bringing her for Christmas, her answer was "candy canes". Her brothers would quickly correct her and tell her that Santa brings presents. She would again insist it was candy canes. The morning of Christmas came and Santa brought her a motorized Princess bike, which she hardly lets anyone else ride :) Today, Jan. 1, she turns to me out of the blue and says, "Santa coming tonight.. he brings presents.." Now she gets it!! She constantly tells us she needs to go to the North Pole.
Many times over the last couple of days Luke will be focused on a video game and will say (quite loudly, because he doesn't have a volume control) "I love Christmas because it brings me a DS". So yes the magic of Christmas has visited our house. My thoughts now are how to impart on to these bundles of joy that yes Santa is fun and presents are nice, but Jesus is our greatest gift. I am truly thankful that He has given me this wonderful family to experience life with. Now and everyday, please send me the wisdom to guide these children to be Your Servants. Help us seek you Lord Jesus in all that we do!
