Oh, Henry!!!

Me~Henry, what do you need to do if you pee on the seat?


Henry~Wipe it off. But it wasnt me....It was Sophie.

Me~Sophie doesn't pee on the seat. She's a girl.

Henry~yeah huh, she's crazy.

Me~Henry, girl's do NOT pee on the seat.

Henry~gguuhhh, fine it was me. But just this time. It's usually Sophie.
 
Round 2
Henry~Mom, There is a booger in my hair and pretty sure it's not mine.
Me~How do you know?
Henry~I didn't pick my nose today.
 
Don't worry it was silly putty.

Merry Merry!!

Phew, we made it through. Barely! Sam picked up tons of shifts at the MTC and I still had school everyday but Christmas day. So it was crazy but great. I made Christmas Eve dinner for the first time and have to say it was dang good. I was running out of time and did NOT iron my table cloth. I know my mom will be mortified. I know, I know. Talk about a thrown together table.

The kids were so excited for Santa I thought 1 or 2 of them may pass out.

and the most wanted gift in the house.

BYU bedding! A happy boy!!

Lucy was so cute with all her "wow"! She was in heaven.

Hope everyone had a very blessed and happy holiday.

Pink Slip!!

Yup, it happened. We had our first pink slip. You know the one you get when you go to the Principals office. I know you are thinking wait...Henry is not in school. Lucy, well...she needs to be sent there but she's only 17 months.
The one we never thought. The good one. It happened.
I pick her up today and she hands me a slip.
"What is this?"
"It's a pink slip" (looking down and very distraught)
"What for?"
sigh....."throwing snow balls."
"Didn't you already getting a warning for that?"
"I forgot, Mom."
"Let's go home and talk to your dad about it."
Now, picture same beginning of conversation with dad. Only at, "for throwing snow balls"...
replace it with a smile of  "couldn't prouder".
His tone changed and all of a sudden it was a..."well you shouldn't even if you want to. I picked up snow on campus today and was ready to chuck it too. I forgot too."
"dad, another boy did it first."
"he did?"
This is where mom steps in with a..."doesn't matter who else does what, you know the rules".

Dad agreed even though he kind of wanted to high five her. He signed and told her not to do it again. Pink slip! It's a slippery slope from snowball throwing to, heaven for bid....food fight?!?!?

She get's it from her mom!

I'm so excited!!!!

I saw this ad on craigslist for a lady that is in charge of remodeling hotels. She was doing one downtown a few weeks later and had 189 armoires for sale. I have been looking for YEARS. We have had the same old falling apart one from Ikea for 10 years. I started selling on ebay to make the money thinking they would be atleast 100.00 if not more. I looked up the model she gave me and these were 600.00!!!

Well she called last week and it was $40.0!!!! This thing is so heavy and HUGE and nice. Now I just don't know how I want to refinish it. Sam said no time soon since we barely have time to sleep. I can't wait to get it all redone!!!!

The baby is the bully!!!

We looked over this morning to see Lucy taking down Henry. He could not get away from her. Yes, we stood there and laughed and were amazed at her strength and the fact that she did NOT let go. Go get 'em baby!!
