I promised and I deliver.....


Pictures of the kids...
Visiting Santa. 
Unfortunately I was not there since I had a Relief Society lesson to prepare~~~~
I know, can you believe that I have to teach Relief Society? 
I never have a day in my life. 
I'm so nervous. So, so nervous.....

Trevor dared Emily to pull Santas beard but she wouldn't do it. 
She also didn't want Trevor to take pictures but he had too since I wasn't there...
I'm just really happy that we are over the screaming and crying when we see Santa.
Never again will we have to deal with that. 

What the kids want for Christmas 2010:

*Emily wants a sewing machine and new bedding-turquoise.

*Annabelle wants an art kit and new bedding- turquoise also. 

*Stephen wants a rip-stick and a skateboard.

*Joshua can't remember what he wants.

They may not want a lot but it works for us (our rule is two gifts each Christmas). Everyone is always happy Christmas morning and it really helps us not focus so much on the gifts.
We focus more on the baking.....which will make us focus on the ten extra pounds we'll be carrying around come January. 
Ah well, we do it for the kids, right?

Is that your new calling, or are you subbing?

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
