When the children are quiet...

You know they are up to no good! I was upstairs and hadn't heard a peep out of my boys for a few minutes. When I went down to investigate I was almost knocked over as they both high-tailed it to the couch. They don't look like they have been naughty right??


Wrong!

Notice the suckers. These were illegally procured from my Primary bag. They decided to taste every flavor. Some of them twice.

At least they were nice enough to clean up after themselves right? They put all the tasted (and rejected) suckers right back in the bag!

Our week in review

Well my week of vacation is officially over. It's kind of sucked because of all weeks Blair has been getting home later and later each night so we haven't even seen each other. Thank goodness for the Olympics coverage late at night because we have at least enjoyed staying up too late watching that together.

It was my goal to teach Dillon to say Mom, Mommy, Mama pretty much anything resembling my name this week. Unfortunately he was not able to make my year! Instead he learned Elmo. What a smart boy! I have enjoyed our alone time this week but he hasn't snuggled as much as I liked, he has become Jordy Jr. and has wanted to watch Toy Story on repeat. I think he just likes having the Buzz and Woody toys to himself. But he has never gotten down the stairs so fast as when I ask him if he's ready to go get Brother from school.

Jordan is totally loving pre-school. Each day he gives me the rundown on the full activities. Apparently today he dumped out all the food toys. Thank goodness Lily was there to help clean them up. Or should I say Yiyy. I have never noticed how much Jordy says Y's for L's until he wanted to tell me about what "Yetter he yearned" today! It reminds me of my cousin Tyler that Betsy used to tickle torture until he would scream "Yeave my yegs ayone!" Still cracks me up.

I really meant to do something productive this week and so far this is all I have accomplished. I still have 4 rows and countless clipping to do but at least it's something! And now that the Gymnastics portion of the Olympics is over maybe I can finish it up before I head out to Albuquerque on Tuesday.

ABC's & 123's

It's the Jordsters first day of preschool. Doesn't he look fancy? (Fancy is his word!) He is going to Miss Brooke's preschool and was so excited this morning. Here he is in all his glory!

Arriving at Miss Brooke's house.Ringing her doorbell 15 times (good thing it doesnt work!)The cutest boys! Jordy told Dill at breakfast that "Its ok, you and Mommy will pick me up".

A Friday Funny...

This is for my cousin Amber! Her post made me remember one of my all-time favorite pictures! This is when Jordy was 3 days old. He sure loves his Aunt Beasty!

This one is for the guys....

This is for Blair, Eric, Jeff, Chris, Josh, Willie and anyone else who's wife went and bought Breaking Dawn last weekend. (I technically should take you off Josh since you KNOW you read it!)

Enjoy menfolk!

I'm ashamed to admit this...

Today I was thinking about how excited I had been to get my copy of "Breaking Dawn" and how it only took me about 24 hours to finish it. Why is it that I can get so wrapped up in a world of Vampires and Werewolves but can't get past 2nd Nephi when I try to read the Book of Mormon.

I am honestly ashamed to admit that the BOM doesn't hold my interest enough to read it cover to cover. I know that I am seriously lacking in my gospel knowledge and yet I don't search ponder and pray as I am instructed. What is wrong with me?

Betsy? Katie? Anyone in interested in reading along with me? Can we set some realistic goals? Can we discuss? I really need some help!

Uh oh! Snowflakes, Vampires and Laughing Gas!

What a crazy few days we have had! The boys and I took a quick trip to Snowflake (seriously 24 hours) to pick up and Aunt Gill and bring her home with us. Grandma Karafa is in Idaho gallivanting with her sister so Gill was nice enough to brave watching the boys for the week. She even came to Primary with me on Sunday and braved the chaos of my class (9 5/6 year olds!)

I finished Breaking Dawn yesterday and really want my friends to hurry up so we can discuss (hint hint Betsy & Katie)!

Jordan had his first filling at Dr. Kelly's yesterday morning. They said he did great! The laughing gas made him a little loopy and he was talking a mile a minute and SO LOUD!! It was hilarious.

And drum roll please..... Dillon is now saying Uh-oh! Big deal you say? It sure is when they child only grunts or says Dad/Cat for everything. He is 20 months old. I think it is a huge success!
