Can I get a tissue please...

Today I went downstairs and swooped Brock up in my arms and gave him a kiss.  Then asked him how my little boy was?  He turned and looked at me and said " aaa  Mom I'm almost 8 I'm not little
anymore"  NOOOOOO why is this happening!!!  And for the record he turned 7 a week ago!!  Well just to let you know he will always be my little boy (but I won't tell him that of course :) ).

Cole's B-day 2010 on Thanksgiving (Caution this may not be appropriate fo the small!!)

My second oldest is already 12 yrs old.  I can't believe how fast its gone by.  This Sunday he will be getting the priesthood and then he will be passing the sacrament.  What more could I be thankful for this year on Thanksgiving than the gift of family.  Cole's bike has been broken for a while so this year he decided to get a bike for his b-day.  I haven't seen much of him since.  After our big Thanksgiving feast with all the awesome food we sat down and relaxed.  Kristi (the girl that lives with me) told Cole his present was on the floor in her room and he could go and get it.  Well he went in there with Kristi's fiance Devin and said I don't know which one is mine the Candy, the bubble gum, or that small package next to it....  Well I am thankful to say that Kristi didn't buy Cole a package of pantyliner's for his Birthday!!!

Happy 15th Anniversary Babe!!

I've been thinking long and hard about what to get you.  I thought of some really nice presents with hefty prices attached to them!!  But then I thought does that really show you how much I love you or that I know how to use the credit card..... So instead I decided to write you a little note and find a song that would let you know how much you really mean to me.

Your the first person I want to talk to when I wake up and your the only person I want to snuggle up to late at night :)  When I'm having a bad day your the one who cheers me up and lets me know its going to get better.  I can't think of a better provider for our family than someone who is willing to get up at 3 am and put a full day in and then comes home and puts another full night working on cars, taking care of kids, or fulfilling your calling in the church.  You give me the support I need to try different things and sometimes the cautious reminder that, that might not be such a great idea.  Your my sounding board when I need to vent and I haven't gotten to anyone else that day!!!  Basically what I'm saying is that I love you very much.  I don't know what I would do without you.  You've been my best friend through all the hard times in my life and have seen us through the good times as well.  I can't wait for what the next 50++ years will bring. 

Happy Anniversary babe, 
Love always,
Sarah

Cadens Birthday Minute to Win it STYLE

This year Caden decided to take his sneaky parents up on the offer of 100 dollars or a birthday party!!  I'm starting to feel guilty about that though.  Am I destroying my children's upbringing by not having birthday parties?  So luckily Raunde flew in for the blessed occasion of Cadens birth.  And on the spur of the moment we had an impromptu birthday party.  It started with a visit from Flip Flap Jack!!  I was so excited he could make it for breakfast that day.  After filling our tummies we rested and finished the day with all kinds of minute to win it games.  I have to tell you it was one of the funnest nights we have all had together for a long time.  I haven't laughed so hard for a while.  If you need some cheering up one night get an empty Kleenex box and fill it with ping pong balls, next tie the box around your waist so the box is on your backside.  Then jump, move, and wiggle to get those ping pong balls out of the box.  Man its not as easy as you may think.  Happy Birthday Caden, we love how you make us laugh all the time.  You sure keep us on our toes at all times.
