January 2009

"You know what kind of leaf this is? This is a flying bird leaf."-David

"I am an alien from earth."  -David  He had a box on his head.

February 2009

"Mom, I'm stronger than mean guys!"  -Abby

"Doing cars, that's a boys job mom." Says David. "What do you mean?" asks Ma. David sighs and says, "girls can't have cars." "Sure they can." Ma replies. "Nope, just boys." - David

March 2009 

I put some new/used shoes on Abby that are a size bigger.  I asked, "How do they feel?  Do they feel too big or just right?"

Abby said, "I want you to choose."

I respond, "Oh, but I can't feel them they are not on my feet."

Abby walks over and puts her feet/shoes on top of mine.

I couldn't stop laughing.  She thought it was funny that when her feet would go on mine I would laugh.

April 2009

Emma was putting her hand in the sunlight and out of the sunlight.  Then she said, "Mom, sunlight doesn't feel like anything.  That is because it is made of cheese."  

A friend at school told her that the sun is made of cheese. Emma believes her friend more than me... I can't believe it!! ;)

Abby put Ma's bra on and walked around saying, "I'm gonna feed babies."

What to do???

A while ago I put all of my children into one 10 x 10 room to sleep.  As you can imagine it was very crowded!!  But it doesn't seem too bad.  

The one thing that had to go was the door.

But, when a door goes missing who wants to see this...

when you walk down the hall?  Not I.

So, I nailed up some sheets with pretty flowers from my wedding almost 9 years ago!  As you can imagine the sheets stayed up for, um, a few hours.  LOL

So, to Home Depot we went.  We cut some wood, slid the top of the sheet over the pole, and viola we have closet and bed privacy.

Now, doesn't that look sooo much better??

Sorry for the dark photo's, one day I will figure out that camera!!  LOL!!  -Ma

Spider Man

Every time I try to get rid of spider man David lets me know that he is not ready to get rid of the dancing and singing guy.

So now that he has a good rip I thought I would be able to send him packing, after all he is broken.

David assured me that we can fix him.

So I did...

I guess spider man needs to stay a little longer.  :(  -Ma

Twister

July 27, 2009

For Family Home Evening we played a game of Twister!!

We couldn't figure out how to explain the rules to their understanding.

But they had fun anyways!!

HAPPY

Jacob's new favorite word this last week has been....

Happy

Big emphasis on H.  And the Y is drug out.

And always a HUGE SMILE!

We ask, "Jacob, are you Happy?"

Then he gets on his kick, saying happy over and over and over again.  -Ma

You Are...

It was October 2005.  

Pa was invited to go to California for a couple of days for a convention for work.  In turn he invited his family to go with him.

Of course we went.  Hotel paid for, plus most of our gasoline was paid for and even some meals and a night free in a section of Disney land.  No lines and free all you can eat!  It was awesome.

The hard part...

I was stuck in a hotel all day, because I wasn't about to take out a 3 year old, 23 month old and a 3 month old all by myself.  I don't really remember what I did during those hours with just the kids, but I do remember that it was wonderful when Pa was back with us.

I do remember, because it was a "business trip" there weren't very many kids around.  We got a lot of LOOKS.

We had so much fun!

I remember the night we were at Disney Land, a young lady came up to me.  She said, come here.  I was hesitant, but she seemed nice.  

The lady leaned up to me and whispered in my ear,

"I think, 

women like you.

Who have multiple children,

are PHENOMENAL!"

Whoa!  That was a first, but it was a wonderful first.

I remember that comment almost every day, I am phenomenal!  

There are many many many days that I feel far from phenomenal, but ya know I am making it work!  Despite the many flaws I have.

Being a Mom is the best thing I can be right now, it is what life is all about... Family!

So to all you moms out there if there is one thing you can remember each day, whether you have one or more than one kiddo,

You are phenomenal!!
