Thanksgiving

I am so thankful for these little turkeys. I am so thankful for Ryann. She is so caring and thoughtful. She is sensative, obedient, and let's not forget how smart and beautiful she is! I am so thankful for Major he is charming and fun. He can lighten your mood in an instant. He is incredibly adorable! And I hope to be very thankful for his determination! Because it is a great quality to have.  I am so thankful for Bryce my partner in crime, my better half. He is such a hard worker, he is tactful, he is freaking hilarious. He serves and teaches with his whole heart. He is such a great dad! I am so thankful the savior, my savior because of him I will be with my family forever!

Too tired to eat

Bryce and I went to my mom's today to work on moving into her house but the kiddos wanted to stay and play with their cousins we got home at 330 and so it was just going to be one of those no nap days. Being thanksgiving eve I had a little event planned for the kids Ryann and I stuffed a Turkey for the kiddos to catch and so after all the excitement he crashed!!!

Licking war

Ryann loves to wrestle with her dad and she thinks it is so funny to try to lick him and stick her bare butt on him. I was trying to capture the moment so I told Ryann to lick his cheek, "no" she said, "they are too hairy". Haha! I love those two!

The Hoarding gene

We have been helping my mom get rid of some of her stuff so we can move into her house, and there is a lot of stuff. I use to think that is was a generation thing, which I still kind of do but then realized that it is a personally gene. I too have it. For me I don't like to waste money, and I don't like the thought of other people wasting their money. I started wondering if my gene had been passed on to my kids as well and my first thought went to major because he gets emotionally attached to things like his binky and blankets but ryann on the other hand has never really had just one thing that she loves, and i think that is because She loves all of her things! She came back from a birthday party the other day with some party favors in a plastic little bag she kept her things safe in her bag for a while but then they got new homes and the plastic bag was starting to tear because of the use. I not thinking anything of it threw the bag away and Ryann found it in the garbage and started sobbing. Another thing I found interesting is one time she came up to me and asked if I wanted her to throw her spoon away (we use plastic utinsels) yes I told her. But did you pay for it she asked. I have no idea where she came up with this concept. We live tight and we live cheep, but I have never stressed about money with her. My only explanation is that she too carries the hoarding gene. It isn't a bad thing it just means that we care deeply about things!

Jesus DOESN'T want me for a Sunbeam

I made a children's hymns mix for Ryann and Major to litsen to when we are in the car, and Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam came on. Ryann was listening to it very carefully, and told me Jesus DOESN'T want me for a sunbeam. he doesn't I asked her. No she replied he wants me just the way I am! I didn't even try to explain to her what the song meant by Sunbeam. I just had to agree with her. Ryann knows who she is and she knows that Jesus loves her. What more does she need to know!?!

Eons, Jarom, Omni

Have you ever read in the Book of Mormon and finally got to the books of Enos Jarom and Omni. (It doesn't happen to me often I usually don't get much farther than Jacob) I had a seminary teacher tell me that these men where not keeping the commandment and that they were lazy because their books were only about a chapter long. Well right now I'm feeling their sympathy. Life is busy and hard and awesome and overwhelming just to live it but then to write about it too! Yeesh! Well I recently had a wake up call. A lot of my recent pictures and videos got erased and one of my biggest fears is that these precious moments in my life are going to pass me by and one day I will wake up and wonder where on earth the time has gone. I'm afraid that I will forget things like the way major says tinkaboo or says come on or cocks his head to the side and gets right up in your face so he is sure that you are listening to him and puckers up his lips when he talks if he is in more of a serious mood. And then there is my sweet little animated Ry Ry her face glows when she is excited about something her big beautiful blue eyes get so wide i love way she analyzes my face and asks me if I'm mad. The way she can and will stay in her bed for hours in the morning and wait for me to wake up. I told her once that she could come and get me when she wakes up and her reply was but I don't want to wake you up mom. She is very thoughtful of others! I love the way they both run to me when I pick them up from nursery! I don't want to forget any of this and quite honestly I wish it could stay this way for a long long time. I've got to be better about writing things down because one day it will only be a memory.

Mothers day

Bryce took the kids to Walmart so they could pick out a Mother's Day present . They both picked out flowers for me and a balloon I love that and I thought it was cute that they were working together to pick out something for me. Bryce bought me more storage for my phone since I am constantly filling it up with pictures and videos. The guys also pitched in and made as special dinner for us. You guys nailed I could not be more lucky to have such an amazing family!
