"Wait! Wait! Let Me Give a Kiss To You!"

This is what we hear being yelled very morning before I take Ammon to School and before Jeff leaves for work. If by some chance you leave without your kisses and hugs Brandon will be so distraught and in tears. I just had to share that this crazy monster does have a very sensitive side.

Going Sugar Crazy!!

I just had to post how crazy I have been going on sugar. It just seems like EVERYDAY something sugary is layed before me tempting my will. I feel like crap (since I have no willpower). So I have decided it's gonna be all or nothing. Last December I went 4 weeks without sugary sweets and I was dying but very pleased in the end. I decided five minutes ago, as I was frosting and sprinkling more Halloween cookies, that I will not have sugary sweets until after new years!!!! Wish me luck.

Cherished Time with Dad

Jeff's parents are cleaning out their house and found his old robotics toys. We took them and for months they sat in our closet. But finally last Sunday I encouraged Jeff to pull them out while I had a primary meeting. The boys had a BLAST building and playing them with Jeff.
Maybe they both inherited his engineering genes?

Painting Fun



There are a few hours each day when Brandon and I have some time together before Ammon comes home from school. I have seen a different side of Brandon during these hours. He now loves me to read stories and do crafts which he never showed interest in last year. I cherish this individual time I get with my kids. I Love You Brandon!


Chores

Isn't it so great when you kids get old enough to "help" with chores?

It's Fall Y'all

Here in Texas Fall and Spring are my favorite times of year. There are some days when the weather reminds me of California and it is just blissful to be outside.
With the nice weather Ammon has been able to practice enough so that he can now ride his big bike. He has Hypotonia (low muscle tone) that makes it difficult to push hard enough to ride bikes. Great Job Ammon!!!

Brandon refuses to use a helmet and it drives me crazy.
