Kids say the funniest things.....

My sweet baby girl, who is now 21 months, is sitting here on my lap. And she started to suck her thumb...where that came from who knows...anyway, I said, "Honey, I do not want you to suck your thumb. It is yucky and we don't do it, ok?" and then I said, "You got it?!" So, she takes it out and she replies, " I got it." It was so funny!!! I wish I had it on tape. Too Funny!!! And alas, as I type this her sweet little head is bobbin'....she is gone. Time for both of us to hit the hay. :)

My little princesses

When you have 6 girls....you can never have enough princess pictures. These are pictures from Lu Lu's birthday party. We have Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White! TOO FUN!!!






















Our little Toothless Princess!
LuLu just plum tuckered out!

She loves to LAUGH....






Lu Lu has the greatest laugh! She takes after her Daddy and brother. It just makes you happy...here I caught her in one of her LaUgHs!!!

My little Make-up artist


Bella loves to put on make-up...2-3 times per day. I finally had to figure out a way to lock up my make-up. This was one of her last attempts. She does a pretty good job. She just decided to use liquid liner for blush. Don't you love the blue :). You can often find make-up hiding under her pillow. She also made up Baby girl.

Church videos on YouTube

I thought this was something definitely worth sharing:

The Church has just launched a new YouTube channel with videos. See http://www.youtube.com/mormonmessages. Read an explanation of additional video sites at http://ldsmediatalk.com/2009/02/07/church-videos-for-blogs-and-web-sites/

Thought for the day

I was reading a talk by our Prophet, Thomas S. Monson from his talk last Conference,
Finding Joy in the Journey. I love Valentine's Day and the reminder that we should freely show our love to those around us. President Monson asked that we say "I love you" more; always express our thanks. And then he said,

"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."

It made me take a pause today to remember that people, especially my family, are so much more important than things. So, today I resolve to give a little more love to those around me, to give extra hugs, to "enjoy" the laundry that is piling up, to learn from trials...knowing that there is opposition in all things...as bad as it may seem, it has to get that much better and to make every day and month a time to give more LOVE.
I am so grateful for my FAMILY and FRIENDS. Have a happy day and know that you are LOVED!!!

Way to go WHEELZ!



Wheelz is our only boy and it has been so much fun experiencing different things with him. He is now an 11 year old scout, but, a few weeks ago he earned his Webelos badge and his Arrow of Light. They had a man come and do an 'Arrow of Light' ceremony. He did an awesome job and even made Dallin and the other 2 boys..each an arrow. It was a fun experience. I was so proud of Dallin, sitting so tall and keeping his eyes focused on the man as he spoke. Good job, son! We are so proud of you. Way to go Wheelz.
