cookie dough

While I was making a healthy lunch for my family I put Benton in the high chair with some shredded wheat cereal. My back was to him and I was thinking..."wow, that cereal is really holding him over." It wasn't until I turned around that I realized Alex had slipped him some cookie dough...NO complaints from Benton!

Seasons Come and Seasons Go

I LOVE the fall. I only wish we had the beautiful colors of Utah in the fall. It is time to bring out the cinnamon candles, hot chocolate, sweatshirts and soup. Time to make way for Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It's the MOST wonderful time of the year.

memories.my.mother.

Sundays are a day to catch-up and visit with family. I was able to visit with my mom and reminisce....

Mustard- Mom took us to a baseball game and during the 5th inning my mom got a little excited (with loaded hot dog in one hand). She started jumping up and down and soon the mustard from her hot dog slipped down onto the back of the women sitting in front of us...with a WHITE silk shirt on!!! Instead of recognizing the situation Mom pretended it wasn't her, however she was the ONLY one with a hot dog in her hand and directly behind the "victim". The women was NOT happy.

Uhaul- My mom was driving a uhaul (all by herself) from AZ to UT. On the way she decided to stop and buy a hamburger. She attempted to drive-thru only to discover the top of the uhaul was scraping the top of the drive-thru. To rectify the situation she threw the truck in reverse and was "outta there" leaving behind a damaged entrance to BurgerKing.

Shopping-Once mom bought a TON of groceries. While checking out she paid for the food and was handed her receipt. She took her change and receipt and walked out of the store...leaving all the groceries behind while double checking her receipt to make sure she wasn't over charged for anything!

Love you MOM! Life is always INTERESTING with you around.

alex's favorite dress

Should I hide it...burn it...give it away...she tries to wear it EVERYDAY! If she isn't wearing it first thing in the morning, she'll have it on before the day is over. Some how...some way!

love.you.to.death.

Tori is so sweet to Baby Benton. She loves him and kisses him and makes him laugh (until he cries). All of this affection is recieved well until the love'n doesn't STOP.

I know Tori is just being a good big sister but now whenever she aproaches...Benton SCREAMS. Just wait until Benton is BIGGER than Tori. Then we will see who likes receiving the "Loves."

It's raining...it's pouring...

modesty

Thank you Erica for reminding me that we need to have a FHE lesson on modesty. Alex (3) has decided my lingerie is the most beautiful dress-up she has ever seen. I then decided I'd better hide those articles of clothing. It didn't take her long before she found where they were hidden and had assembled a new outfit. She was so proud of her new beautiful clothes that she had to show Daddy. He freaked out...until she ran outside...then I freaked out!
