Sidewinder…

As many of you know, we love this song. I saw this video on another blog and had to share. Sweet!

Thought…

My mom gave a talk in her sacrament meeting last Sunday. I took this quote from it…

“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.”

White Noise…

Max isn’t much of a napper. Hasn’t been for awhile. Occasionally I can get him to take one, but it’s pretty rare these days. Over the last month or so he has taken a couple…

Apparently his dad’s snoring is soothing… that makes one of us!

Evelyn’s Baptism…

015_edit

Evelyn was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 30 July 2011. It was a wonderful day, with so many family and friends that made the trip to be here to support her. We are so proud of her and the decision she made to be baptized. She is becoming such a grown up girl hard for a momma to deal with.

Happy Birthday Max the Man…

Today our baby turns 4! sniff, sniff… The time goes so fast.

It was a pretty low key birthday. He had a friend come to play yesterday, but wasn’t in the best of moods. (And by not in the best of moods, I mean he was a poop!) He wanted cereal for breakfast, peanut butter and honey for lunch and homemade mac and cheese for dinner with chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting for dessert. I added some fruit and veggies to his meals… his tummy always seems to hurt when it comes around to eating the healthy stuff. Interesting…

Concrete is Complete…

Phase 1 of the yard is done. Not sure how many phases there will actually be, but at least we are started.

We had our concrete guy add some grey color to the patio and stamp it to give it just a little texture.

Mr. Nobody…

We have been learning a poem for school titled "Mr. Nobody". We all have one... they guy that moves things and breaks things and won’t own up to it. You know who I'm talking about. Max can't seem to find his undies (I know weird thing to lose). He needed new ones anyway, but when I asked him where all the old ones went to, he said, “Mr. Nobody took them.”
