Out of the mouth of babes...

So as a family we have been yanking ourselves out of bed at 6 in the a. of m. to read scriptures. Yes this is a rather new tradition we are trying out and so far it has been great! So this morning as Jeff and I were getting up I told him to just let Kaleb sleep seeing as how he actually slept through the night! That hasn't happened for what seems like years, so Jeff agreed and we continued on without him. After reading our scriptures we decided to include Kaleb in our family prayers so we went in his room to pray. As we knelt down around his bed a little voice from under the covers said....."Is the Sun up?" No was our reply "Then it's sleep time!" and to that we busted up laughing. You see at our house when the sun is up we are awake and when the sun goes down it is bedtime. At least that's how it is to Kaleb. Amazing how he catches on to things and then turns them around and throws them back in our faces. He is a terror sometimes but we love him!

Let's try this again.....

While I understand that I am a horrible blogger if you are by chance a friend of mine on facebook you will know why I don't have much time. However if you are not let me update you on a few things. The boys are keeping me super busy. All three of them. Jeff is so close to finishing school! He will be finished in the spring which will be wonderful considering I see him all of about 9.5 hours a day. And 8 of those are usually consumed with sleeping! Brinton just turned 8 and will be baptized on Saturday the 12th. I am totally looking forward to it but shocked and bewildered by the fact that I have an 8 year old. Kaleb is KRAZY! He recently rode our garbage can down the stairs like a skateboard. It was full at the time. By the end of the ride...it was not! It's the little things like that which are keeping me from posting more often. I will however with this new year try to post a bit more so our friends and families out of state can keep up on the everyday adventures I get to endure! I'm hoping all of you are having a wonderful holiday season and if I get my act together you may even receive a Christmas card from us! Maybe.

Hello to the 5 people who read this. We are alive. Just thought you should know. 2008 wasn't so great for me personally but I am thinking 2009 will be fine. I will do a little photo posting to keep you up to speed on what has happened in the past 10ish months. Please forgive me. I will try to do better.
