My baby boy

Happy birthday, Eli.
You make my heart happy.
You make me laugh and smile.
You help me.
You constantly amaze me.
You made us a family.
You made me a mom.
I love you forever!

Kiss the cooks

Oh, Tony

Oh, Tony Almeida, how could you do this to me. I cannot believe that you are truly evil. I'm waiting for an explanation of your actions. Your hotness overwhelms me. I will be watching next week to see how you redeem yourself.

Much love -
me



** all of you non-24 fans. I pity you.

Easter

I love Easter. I love the season. I love what we remember. For me Easter is an extra special time that I get to celebrate my little family. Our Savior's atonement and resurrection are the reasons that we get to stick together forever. Tender spot for me. I can't imagine my life without my three guys. So, we indeed had a good holiday this year. I had a special feeling in my heart on Sunday and was especially grateful for the sacrifice that Christ made for us. I know He lives and because of that, we will all live again.



Now onto our picture attempt.

Toilets eat underwear

For the last few weeks I have noticed a certain three-year old's supply of underwear has been dwindling. I know I have done laundry and he should have a vast supply of tighty whities. It has been a mystery in our house.

Today the secret was uncovered, the puzzle was solved. Eli informed me that Blake had flushed a towel down the toilet. I was quite confused until I noticed a wash cloth missing. My brain dusted itself off and began putting pieces together. . . if a small towel is flushable, then why not small undergarments? So I asked the child in question if he had indeed flushed some underoos down the camode. His reply was a confident "yes".

Ah-ha! I discovered the answer to the age old question - Toilets DO eat underwear. I was so proud of myself that I failed to reprimand the boy. Oh well.

I have no idea how many pairs have actually been sent to the sewer system, but I am sure it is many. Once Blake discovers an experiment works - he sticks with it.

I apologize to all the environmentalists out there. I am pretty sure that Thomas the Train underwear are not biodegradable.
