ODDS AND ENDS

Well I guess it has been long enough since my last post. I have been reading the Twighlight series. This may be really unpopular to say but...WOW...what a waste of time. They are Ok till the last book and then it just gets way to weird. So if you have not read it and your contemplating doing so in the next little while, may I suggest an alternitive of pulling our your toe nails out one by one, scratching your nails on a chalk board or having a colonoscopy... I guarantee it would be time better spent than reading these rediculous books and even more entertaining. I was not really impressed.

Moving on...We recently had two birthdays. Lydia turned one. I can't beleave how quickly time flies. She has been a true blessing in our home. She has four adoring brothers who vow to keep her safe from just about everything. We also celebrated my sweet little boy Trevors birthday. I unfortunitly have not got the pictures off of the camera that Milton has at work so I will post a picture later. Trevor is the sweetest little boy. I am so grateful for this little 3 year old.

I will post later with some picturs of our Memorial Day weekend. We went to Everett to spend some time with my sister and to do some sight seeing. Blog to you soon

Cheeks

I personally believe that I have the most beautiful daughter in the world(but I can say that because I am her mom). She has the cutest cheeks. I mean all four of them. She is a chunky monkey and I love all her rolls. She may someday hate me for snapping this picture but it is so cute. I was changing her diaper when she rolled away from me and took off I couldn't fight the urge to capture this moment .

Naps

Lately Trevor has been trying to ditch the afternoon nap. It is not working so well for him. The other day I was working in the kitchen and I asked Coy to go and tell Trevor something for me. About 5 minutes later Coy comes back and says "I can't find Trevor I have looked all over for him." So I went into panic mode and am searching high and low for him, calling his name and there is no response. So I head outside searching for him at this point I am really about to panic when just then Coy comes out and tells me he found him. He was sound asleep behind a basket of unfolded laundry. (yes I have lots of those) I was so releaved.






This and the bottom picture are just some of the random places I find my boy.
























Seth cracks me up:

Yesterday I was out playing with the boys after school when a boyfriend and a girlfriend, middle school age, walked by. The boy was giving the girl a piggy back ride when all of a sudden the boy trips and they are both sprawled on the ground looking really embarrassed. I was trying to act like I hadn't noticed and not to laugh at them. Then I hear Seth say loudly. "Are they Retarded, Mom I think they really are retarded did you see them fall." It was funny!

My Valentine

Today is not only Valentines day but it has also been 10 years since I meet my wonderful husband. Cupids arrow hit us on February 14, 1999, and here is the story. My brother Jason had a girl friend who was friends with Miltons sister Nadell. So I wanted to meet Jason's girl friend and he insisted that I had to go on a double date with him in order to meet her so I told him "I will not go stag on a double date" and he said " I'll find you a date. Nadell has a brother comming home from a mission in a few weeks we will set it up". So I agreed. The date was set for February 15 but I insisted that I go to his homecomming just to make sure he wasnt to weird and if he was I would have enough time to back out before the date. As I watched him give his talk I had a very strong impression that he would someday be my husband.He was impressive, and I had the pleasure of meeting him after sacrament meeting. And the rest is history.

So for this Valentines and anniversity Milton had 18 long stem red roses delivered to me. It made my day. He is a fantastic husband and I love him deeply.

Happy Valentines to all you love birds
