June 28, 2011 - Canoe

Today my favorite moment was when I was out in a canoe on Palisade State Park with Devin, Jaxon, and Henry.  The water was beautiful.  The little boys were so cute in their life jackets.  Jaxon was adventurous and loved every minute.  Henry was scared at first and got upset that his feet got wet but I made him go on the canoe anyway.  He ended up loving it.  We all did!

June 27, 2011 - Polio

So, this is a long story and it's late so I will write it all out tomorrow, but it was a great moment and it involved Devin making a joke about something someone said to me at church yesterday.  I know you are all on the edge of your seats.

June 26, 2011 - Jaxon

Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon asked Devin at church, "Daddy, when are you going to be bishop?"  Wow, I believe sometimes kids know stuff.  Hm...I wonder if Devin will be someday...

June 22, 2011 - Moving Day

Today my favorite moment was after I put Ollie to bed and had a moment to myself in our new house.  I felt happy.  And peaceful too.  It was nice to feel a tiny bit settled with my baby in his crib, in his room, in our new house (though the house is full of boxes and furniture that needs to be put into place).  After such a long and stressful time deciding all the details about moving, it is nice to finally be moving on and moving in!

June 20, 2011 - So Much Farts

Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon said out of the blue, "I don't know why I have so much farts today.  That's so gross."  Just stated it like a fact.  No shame.

June 18, 2011 - Henry Skywalker

Today my favorite moment happened after Jaxon refused to give me love and I told him, "Please be sweet to your mama."  Henry came ran over and gave me a hug and said, "I'm Luke Skywalker 'cause I'm sweet to you."  Sometimes that little two-year-old makes me want to sell him to the circus, but most of the time, I wouldn't sell him for anything in the world!

June 15, 2011 - Laser Thermometer

Today my favorite moment happened when I was digging through our kitchen utensil drawer looking for something (I don't even remember what it was now) and I pulled out Devin's laser meat thermometer and asked why he needed it.  He took it from me and pointed it to my butt and said, "Ten million degrees."  Then moved it up and pointed it at my boobs and said, "Ten million degrees.  Yep, sounds about right."  That guy is always making me feel beautiful.  It's just one of the many of qualities I love about him!

June 14, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment was when we were about to walk out the door and all of a sudden Henry yelled, "Oooohhhh!  My pants keep falling down!!!" We looked and his pants were down around his ankles while he held his Darth Vader toys in his hands.  His little bum just doesn't hold them up!

June 11, 2011 - Henry

Today my favorite moment was when Henry was playing with some figurines of characters from the movie Beauty and the Beast.  He kept singing, "Booty and da Beast...Booty and da Beast..."  It was just so cute!

June 9, 2011 - Picnic Henry

We had another picnic today.  We have been so busy getting ready to move I feel like I haven't been hanging out with my boys as much as usual.  But we took a break for the picnic and I was so glad I did.  My boys are so cute and sweet.  Henry came and sat on my lap and let me hug him.  Usually he'll give me one kiss and run off, but he was so cuddly.  And he even shared his "juicy box" with me.  Henry is a little Daddy's boy so it was sweet for him to give me some special love.

June 8, 2011 - Picnic

Today my favorite moment was when Jaxon packed a picnic basket with "juicy boxes," apples, cherries, and saltine crackers for a picnic.  We went out in the shade in the grass at Granny's with Granny and Gramps.  We ate our snacks and played Duck, Duck, Goose.  Henry had my bite the pits out of his cherries and Jaxon had me hand out the unbroken crackers.  Ollie sat and smiled like he usually does.  The weather was warm, but nice in the shade and the grass was green.  We all had a fun time!

June 6, 2011 - Jaxon Post Getting Sick

Today my favorite moment happened after Jaxon threw up.  That part was sad and gross, but after he was cleaned up and stopped crying I heard him telling Devin, "Daddy, I was like Nephi and did not complain when I got sick."  It was so precious!  He has a book that tells about how Nephi was a good example because he did not complain.  It was sweet that he remembered the story and was trying to be like Nephi!

June 1, 2011 - Tax Appointment

This was from a while ago, (obviously--tax season) and I found the file where I had typed it to post.  I completely forgot these things happened.  That's why I have this blog!

My first favorite moment happened today on the way to our tax appointment.  Jaxon and Oliver were laughing at each other in the car.  Their car seats face each other so they can talk and play.  It was so cute to hear Jaxon's strong laugh and Ollie's little baby laugh at the same time.  My kids' laughter is the best sound in the world.  It was a tender little moment.

Then, I had another favorite moment today during our tax appointment with the accountant.  This is not so tender, but comical...  Devin and I were wrapping things up to leave and Jaxon totally farted.  Like, a loud one.  He thought it was funny, of course, but the adults in the room were trying to ignore it.  Eventually I smiled and giggled a little, mostly because Jaxon's laugh is so contagious.  The accountant was definitely trying to hold it in, but he did end up cracking a smile and laughing.  Gotta love kids with no shame!
