Follow The Prophet

R:(age 3) "Why you don't have a living room"?
ME: Because our house isn't big enough for one.
R: "Did President Monson not give you one"? "He said everybody needs one".
Me: "I guess I'd better get one real soon"

FYI President Monson is the President of our Church.  Out of the mouths of babes..... lol

Three Boys and a Girl

As I sit here typing, I can hear Toy Toy Twee (Toy Story 3) in the background, the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star high pitched tune coming from Little Bs riding car from last years birthday, One Little B asking wait no... Pleading for more Ceeeereeee (cereal) and meeeeok (milk).  I just got that for her.  I have had a brew of boys here for a couple of days and have loved it all.  Boys really are a breed all their own.  As well as girls.  M has been scouring my house for two days trying to find a garbage truck.  I told him that Little B only had girl toys and he probably wasn't going to find one, but feel free to keep looking.  Well it is with great delight to let you know that he found one..... Er Uh Well..... At least when he came to me late yesterday afternoon asking if the Sonic kids meal plastic truck was in fact a garbage truck... My response, "Why, yes it sure is" hoping this would be the end of the garbage truck seek and find we have been playing.  It worked, except he wanted, no wait needed to know if it was a front, back or side loader.  I told him it was a back loader, but he quickly informed me that it was missing some special part to make it a back loader then told me that it was a front loader.  I was okay with that.

Now, R on the other hand.  What a sweet heart!  He is a pleaser.  He has been driving Little Bs car for three days and with that comes the LOUD high pitched music.  I ask him to please stop pushing the buttons, and he does for a while, until he can't stand it any longer and has to give in to his need of playing the music.  Oh, wait, now little B is riding and pushing the buttons....  Now I hear them playing garbage truck.  They have tipped Little Bs rocking chair on its side and have dubbed it a front loader to empty trash into the truck which I believe is the coffee table.....

They have one more brother who is at school right now, and he is a sweety pie too.  K has been an absolute joy to be around.  And very helpful with the other two.  Thank you so much for this opportunity Amberlee, I think having a couple boys around would certainly spice life up around here.

Thank goodness MOST babies only come one at a time.

But today, I am tired.  I know I shouldn't have, but I couldn't not do it.  I stayed up all night long watching the Royal Wedding.  I was all alone as the hubs and Little B were sound asleep.  I thought Kate was absolutely stunning!!!  At 5:00 am I couldn't stand it any longer and finally succumbed to sleep, knowing that i was going to have a full day ahead of me.

So now I am signing off and going to find some lunch for this gang and have a nice rest time probably in front of Tangled which we have now watched everyday since Easter, and I am going to somehow HIDE the blasted car!

Oh, by the way now the boys have somehow attached the rocker to the car and are now playing snow plow.  Don't ask me how a couple of kids from Arizona know what a snow plow is but they certainly have it down.

She's Growing Up

I don't like this one little bit!  But I have to face it.

Little B started climbing out of her crib last month but she wasn't climbing over the rails.  You see her crib had a changing table connected to one end of it and don't ask me how, but she was somehow scaling the solid wood foot board and getting out onto the changing table and sitting up there.  Twice I went to check on her and she was standing up.  I freeked and down came the crib and up went the toddler bed.

The first week was HARD!  But as the the weeks have come and gone she is really getting the hang of this big girl bed thing we got going on.

She likes to sit on her bed and read her stories and snuggle with her mankie and bunny.

Naptime however..... UGH I think naptime as I once knew it is over.  She just won't settle down enough to rest and relax long enough to fall asleep.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

OH HAPPY DAY!!!

Let it be known and heard through out the land, that on this day April 25th, 2011 Little B has enough hair for TWO {Count 'em TWO} piggie tails!! YAHOOOOOOOOO!

Happy Easter

We had a great day yesterday!  It all started with Little B coming in my room and waking me up telling me what the Easter Bunny brought her.  She was holding it tightly clenched in her little fist trying so hard to wake me up. All I could here was "I watch Tangled, I watch Tangled"  It really was the cutest thing!  Little did she know that it was going to be a R U EEEEEEEELY long day!  Tangled was going to have to wait.

We got up and quickly got ready for church in our new Easter Best, and then out to the front yard for some pics.  Too bad Little B wasn't going to look at the camera.

Immediatley after church it was off to Buggas (Grandma B) house so she could see her in her pitty dess!

After that we met up with the rest of the clan at the hubs brothers house.

FOOOOOOD..... you name it it was there.  YUMMY!  I made this yumy 12 layer jello.  It was a huge hit!

Egg hunt, and I think for the first time in Little Bs short little life she was really getting the concept of it all.   

She noticed there was candy in the first egg she found so she was off to get all she could!  She had fun, and it was more fun watching her.

Hope your weekend was amazing!

Oh, and just so you know.... She fell asleep watching Tangled!
