Spring teaser

The weather CAN'T make up its mind. Yesterday it felt like spring. Today it's pure winter. I can't believe it. Utah weather is so crazy. Yesterday we went to the zoo and played outside in just jackets. Today was a blizzard. Their's kids that are stuck at school or on a bus for hours and can't go home. Roads are at a stand still. I can't wait until it really is spring, but then again it can still snow. I remember it snowing in June.

Can't live without them

Ethan has to have his ba be (binky). He can't live without it. Now he has to have a blanket also. It doesn't matter the blanket as long as he has one. He sometimes has to carry two or more around. If he sees a blanket he has to have it. I think it is really cute for now but I worry when he gets older. For now I am not going to worry about it and let him have his blankets. If it makes him a happier baby by all means I am going to let him have it.

Poison Control

Hello poison control, my little boy just drank some hand sanitizer. How much? About half a bottle maybe less. he has some on his shirt. The bottle is 2.5 oz. Usually we don't worry unless it is over 8oz. He should be o.k. just what him for symptoms of intoxication.
Yeap that was part of my conversation tonight. I was in the office when Ethan brought me in the bottle of hand sanitizer, with a yucky look on his face. It didn't take me long when I realized what he did. So I hurry and called poison control. My heart was pounding at the thought of what could happen. After all that stuff is full of alcohol. Lucky nothing happened. I just had to watch him. The rest of the night wasn't much better. He was being a terror. He found some Hershey kisses and put the whole thing in his mouth wrapper and all. Now I have chocolate stains all over my carpet. Then he kept pulling things off the shelfs. Him and I were on the couch eating popcorn he leans over and for no reason bites me. He then goes and turns the computer off on Trey and then to top it off he pulled a chair on him. Good thing he is a dang cute kid.

The last leaf has fallen

The last leaf has finally fallen. How I remember those words that he spoke at conference. Matt called me at 6:15 this morning on his way to work to tell me. Those words were the first to pop in my head. The wind was blowing so hard out side my window and this morning and my reply to Matt was the last leaf has fallen and the wind is blowing hard literally. This man with such great humor I will forever love him and all he did for this church. Today I can't stop from being teary eyed every time I think of him. He truly will be missed but I know that we will be blessed with another great prophet. At this sad time I am also so happy that he is again with his beloved wife whom he loved so much. He will also be with all those who went before him. What a wonderful reunion that would be. I am so thankful for his wonderful spirit he brought and all his hard work

What will he think of next

Trey went to the bathroom and instead of washing his hands in the sink he decided to wash them in a bucket. He had to bring the bucket of water into the front room. After he washed his hands I took the bucket back into the bathroom and just sat it on the sink. Next thing I know Trey was naked and taking a bath in the bucket. I asked him why he was taking a bath and he said "I'm stinky, I drank milk and it made me stinky."

Sugar addict

Ethan is a sugar addict. He loves sweets. We have to hide the candy from him because if he sees it he wants it and will throw a fit until he gets it. His favorite is suckers, as you can see in the picture. But is happy with any candy. The top picture we had a box of donuts and Trey got them down to have one but didn't put them away so Ethan helped himself

my big helpers

My 2 boys are such wonderful helpers. Every time I vacuum Ethan is right there with his little vacuum. Well yesterday we went to Target and Trey found some little army guys that he really wanted. Actually he has been looking at them forever. I guess Santa forgot to get him some. So we told him he can start earning money and then when he gets enough he can buy them. (They are like $14) So today first thing he tells me is that he wants to clean up his toys in the front room. After he did that he was ready to go to the store. I had to explain that he would have to do a little more work to earn enough money to buy his toys. So later today I was cleaning the bathroom and he had to help and so did Ethan. Trey spent almost 10 minutes scrubbing the bathtub. Then he had to use his toy broom to wash the toilet. He made a big mess with the water but he did a great first time. It is so much easier to do it yourself but I guess they have to learn sometime. He really did a good job and Ethan did a great job vacuuming
