Called to serve!

Annabelle has been called to serve in the Philippines Iloilo mission.
Or as she read it "The Phillip-penis mission" LOL!!!!
 Emily has been called to serve in the Peru Cusco Mission.
 Joshua has been called to serve in the Italy Rome mission.
 Stephen has been called to serve in the Arizona-New Mexico Navajo-speaking mission.
They are so excited.
Which makes me so excited.

It was nice to have a happy FHE because I was irritated beforehand and it took quite the coaxing and joking from Trevor to get me to NOT be irritated anymore.
I was irritated because Carl peed in the house a ton today and I blame the kids (it's wrong, I know). But when they're in school, he does just fine because I leave him outside for 15-30 minutes each time. The kids like him in the house every possible minute. So if they let him out to go potty, they bring him right back in as soon as they "think" he's done.
And after cleaning up pee all day, Carl puked in the house right before dinner and that just grosses me out.
For dinner I boiled some squash and made squash soup and threatened the kids that they wouldn't get anything else for dinner until every bite of that soup was gone.
The punishment backfired on me though because they all claimed to love it. Even Trevor ate it although I'm not sure if he ate it to make me happy again or if he just really liked it.
I'm pretty sure that it was so I'd be happy. It worked.

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...
