Getting Big!!

I told the boys to go brush their teeth. I asked Landon if he brushed his teeth and he said, "Yes." Then I asked who helped him, he replied, "Nobody, I helped myself!" with a big smile on his face :)

Choose The Right

Kaden was give a CTR (Choose the Right) ring at church yesterday. He was very excited about this. I asked him what CTR meant and he told me "to be good." Later that day we were at my parent's house and Kaden was upset because he had lost his CTR ring. We looked for it , but did not find it. I told him I thought it was still at home and I did not think he had brought it to grandma's house. He looked very worried and then said, "I need it, or else I might be bad." Kaden cracks me up!! I told him that he could still be good even if he did not have his ring and that we would find it. Sure enough, when we got home, he found it! He was very happy to have his ring back. I was very happy that he was going to be "good!"

Airplane ride to Washington

While we were waiting on the plane for take off, Kaden says, "Did our space ship blast off yet?" He was serious too :0)

Then, once we did "blast off," He looked out the window and said, "I see TOYS!!"

A Million Dollars!!

Parker was SO excited that the T.V. dinner he picked out said he had a CHANCE to win a MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!! He peeked inside the box and said, "Oh, I did not win a million dollars, but I got .75 cents off!!" Referring to the coupon inside for .75 cents off more T.V. dinners :-)

Seminary

This is Austin's first year to go to seminary. Seminary is an early morning church class for grades 9-12. His class starts at 5:45am. He gets up at 5am. For some reason his alarm clock never seems to work, so Jeremy or I would have to go upstairs and have him get out of bed ... this was getting very annoying! Finally one day Austin's alarm clock was going off at 5am ... too bad it was SATURDAY!! Now, the funniest part of this story has yet to come. Yesterday Austin was up and ready to wait for his ride ... only it was not 5:30am it was 4:30am!! His clock had the wrong time on it and he got up at 4am and did not notice the "real" time until he was already ready at 4:30am!! Today, his alarm went off at the right time and he got up and ready on his own :-) Hopefully this is how it will go for the rest of his seminary days.

IT IS A GIRL!!

September 2, 2010. Today was the day that we would all find out if we were having a boy or a girl. My sister Amie came and got Kaden and Landon. The other 5 boys were at school. When Amie took Kaden, he told her, “ I cannot stay at your house for a long time, my mom is having a baby and I need to go home.” Four hours after they had left our baby arrived. Kaden was right all along!! We had our little Sarah!! She finally came!! She was here and healthy!! The moment was undescriable. I love all my babies, but this time it was different. I called my sister, Amie and asked to talk to Kaden. When he got on the phone and I said, “Kaden, I had the baby.” His reponse, “Okay I am coming!!” and he gave Amie the phone. She asked him, “Did your mom have a boy or girl?” He pointed his finger at her and said, “IT IS A GIRL!” Amie got back on the phone and asked, “Did you really have a girl?” I replied, “Yes, but I never told Kaden that.” She said, “Okay, we are coming over now. Kaden is getting his shoes on.” When Kaden got home and saw his little Sarah he said, “See I knew it was girl.” He is so proud and protective of her already.

Best Restaurant!!

Last night at dinner Parker asked Jeremy, "How much would it cost to buy the best restaurant in the whole world?" Jeremy told him he was not sure. Then Payton said, "I know what restaurant it is, McDonalds!! Parker replied, "No, it is Wendys!!" Funny, I never considered either of those to be "the best restaurant in the whole world!"
