Reverence

One time when I was little I was in Sacrament meeting with my family and there was a little game I liked to play all by myself to pass the time. I would sit on the bench and slightly spread my legs and bend clear over upside down and look at all the peoples feet that were reverently sitting behind us. Well one week it went terribly wrong and as I was tipped over I somehow lost my balance, flipped over (yes, my nine or so year old body in a dress)and landed on my head, wedged between the bench I was on and the one in front of me. I helplessly looked over at my mom and sisters for some sort of assistence to make my way back to my feet, but since my head was down and my bum(with my underwear very visable)was up...they were paralized with laughter and took a minute or so to pry me out of this possition. It was that day that I decided to sit like a big girl in church and never let my head pass through any possibilty of throwing me upside down!!!! Well last week at church there was quite a crowd, a baby blessing and we were sitting clear in the back on the metal fold up chairs. I was looking straight ahead at the speaker, again not wanting to chance being irreverent. Out of the corner of my eye my innocent little Linky flashed to my side...he also had invented this game where you look between your legs at those behing you. Remember he was on a folding chair, not only did he fall over head over heels but the chair he was sitting on tipped forward pinning his head to the ground. Oh my goodness it was quite a sight and again our bench burst into laughter and Linky decided that was not a fun game after all!!!

Tooth Fairy Please

I remember back in the day before I had kids and I would see other peoples kids with all their teeth missing and think...that poor mom must be embarassed to take him out in public cuz he looks so pathetic. Well now I am all grown up and it seems to change things because my little Carson is missin his 2 front teeth and it is the cutest thing to me. I am always telling him to smile for me because I think he is so stinkin' cute. I guess it is the face only a mother could love, and I do!!!!

OK for some reason I am very bad at things on the computor, so if you click on VIEW ALL IMAGES, it will show you the pictures. I will call for back up and get it working. But for now this will have to do...
These are some photos of Maycee's friend party from Friday. It was so fun. We had all the girls bring 3 outfits... 1."Beautiful dress" 2. "Favorite outfit" and 3. "Jammies". First, all the girls came to our house and they all made their very own pizza (all the boys that lived here went to Grandma's). It was so funny, I found out that ALL little girls are piggies. They ate all their food and then they all were burping and giggling. We took all the girls downstairs and had them pick out some samples from my Mary Kay stuff and then we "made them up". They were all so cute with all that make up. We turned all the lights in the house except on spot light and they would come out from the little streamer curtain we made and pose...Maycee put 4 X's on the floor so everyone would know when to pose. I got to be the photographer. We ate yummy cake and icecream and then all the girls voted to watch Twilight (even though I rented Confessions of a Shop-a-holic for them). We had so much fun. Thank heavens for my little Maycee and all her creativity. I love that girl!!

Big Helper

Lincoln likes to help me unload the dishes. He is a good helper. He also likes to stack the dishes as high as he can. That is quite a stack. He hasn't broken anything yet. Pretty impressive.

Sleep over

On Sunday night Maycee had an idea to have a sleepover in the basement. All the kids could get their sleeping bags out and sleep on the couch because there was no school on Monday. So we let them do that, the funny thing is... Maycee decided that her bed was more comfy and went upstairs to sleep. And so the little boys in all their sleeping cuteness zonked out by themselves. They are so innocent when they sleep!!

A Good Afternoon!

A few days ago, I came home from work and ignored all the things I needed to do around my house. I plopped down in my basement and did my nails and watched Twilight. Oooh, now that is a good day!

Dog Sitting

We had one of my friends dog with us for a week while they were in Florida for a "Make a wish" trip with their family.

His name is Baxter and he is a Newfoundland. He is training to be a service dog for their son Cade and although he is as big as a horse, he is so sweet. Him and Mack played so hard, Mack was limping all week. I think he was faking because as soon as Baxter left, so did the limp.

The kids had so much fun playing with him. He can run a little faster than Mack. They were playing a game of fetch, they threw a ball up the stairs and then back down while Bax would chase it around. It was good for a lot of laughs!

Lincoln had no problem sticking his hand in the mouth of this large beast.

And he loved to jump up and dance without any warning. He is a big, big doggie and we had lots of fun with him. And although Mack had lots of fun too, he was very happy to be the "only dog" again.
