Kelly and Warm Fuzzies

Each night I ask my kids what their favorite thing is that they did that day and they each get a little moment to tell about their favorite thing of the day. Well during General Conference President Monson talked about the legacy a father left behind by asking his children each day at the dinner table what they had done good for someone that day. The children of this man were determined each day to do something good for someone else so they could report to their father each night, as they grew older their motivation for providing service changed to an internal desire to help and serve others. One of his children said this was the most valuable legacy his father left behind.
I decided I would add to to our nightly tradition and not only ask the kids about their favorite thing they did that day but also if they had done anything nice for someone else, and we would call it a warm fuzzie because after they do it they will feel good inside like they are warm and fuzzie (I know silly name but they love it). They agreed and so that night I just asked them if they had done any thing already that they wanted to share. Kyle said yeah I have, He told us about a girl named Kelly in his class, he told us that she was a little slower at things and that some things were hard for her to do, he said at the end of each day they put their chairs on their desks and he said it is really hard for Kelly to lift her chair up high and put it on her desk and he saw that she was trying to do it and her arms were shaking and so he went over and helped her get her chair up on her desk. I loved that he took the time to care for someone else. He's a good kid:)

So go out there and do a warm fuzzie today!!! You'll feel so good inside:)

Random

Ok so I think this is going to be the post for all the random things I want to post about but have no titles for. So often the kids say stuff that I think is so cute or funny but I forget it or it just isn't enough do a whole post about it so every time you see the word random it will just be some random thought or funny or cute thing one of the kids did or said.

So here is my random thought for the day.


The other day Joe and Kyle had gone into Boise to a gun show and Joe said he was telling Kyle about our dating story and how we met etc. He was telling Kyle about a time when He saw me walking (after we had become friends in a class) and said to himself I'm going to ask that girl out. Kyle said to Joe, Dad I'm so glad you picked her because She is the best Mommy in the whole world and I love her so much.


Honestly I really felt so blessed to have him feel that way about me. What a sweet sweet boy. I'll make sure he reads this post when he is a teenager:)

Kiwi

That's her nickname and she just turned 5 years old!!!! She had a wonderful birthday!! A coupleof days before her birthday I asked her what she wanted to do on her birthday and she said "I want to get a babysitter for the other kids and I want to go out with just you and daddy", So we went out just the 3 of us, we went to dinner at Red Robin and she got to pick whatever she wanted on the menu and they sang to her and gave her balloons, she loved it. I think she had a blast just being with her mommy and daddy and getting all the attention. She loved being princess for a day!

I really just can't believe she is 5. She is so sweet and sassy all at the same time. She (and Kyle) are kids that reminds me most of me when I was younger. Hence she must get the sassy from me, I can't blame that one on Joe:) She really is so sweet though too. The day I thought I lost my blog she made my bed, cleaned my bathroom, and organized the shoes in our front entry way. She is very thoughtful and loving and loves to help and make others happy. She is a lot of help when the kids are at school and I am going to miss her so much when she goes to school next year. The other day she said she didn't want to grow up because then she would have to move away and she would be sad to leave me and she would miss me a lot, and then she said that she would just have to move close by me so she could see me often. She thought that all up on her own it was really cute I hope she does live close when she is older. I love this sweet little girl!

Happy Birthday Kayelee!!!

I think she liked it!

At the restraunt just the three of us.

Now we're chill'in

To make a long story short... Modbe is going out of business and I have been a consultant for them I had a separate e-mail for my Modbe stuff and it was tied to a google ad-words account, and yesterday morning Joe closed that account and it was the same account I use to access my blog and so he canceled my blog. When I tried to get on and had no luck I was so so devastated so much time, work, efforts, my journal everything about the kids for the last 2 years gone, I was so so sad even in tears, I spend so much time recording things on this so I will be able to have them for years to come. Anyway I was so so sad. So I asked some gals who knew stuff about blogs and I called Hillary to ask her how to put my blog into a program so I could have it saved there and print it off in case we could get it back, she was so much help thank you Hillary so so much!
I prayed that some how we could get it back and I called my mom and asked her to pray too (you'd be amazed at what the Lord grants them out on that mission). Joe was calling google and trying to figure out how to save it and I got back on and wa la it was back on.
Joe is sure I prayed it back. I have to admit I think that is the reason too. He closed another accout yesterday as well and he can not get back on that one but WE GOT THE BLOG BACK. And now it is saved with Blurb and Joe backed it up on our computer as well.
So today we are just chill'n and very, very grateful!! What a sweet Tender Mercy this was for me!!!

About time

This is how we found her...

So we bought her this

Much better:)

I love this crib isn't it so cute?! She loves it too she is getting a much better nights sleep.

I got it in Craigs list brand new for a great deal, Love it!

Halloween

We had a wonderful day. We made sugar cookies and frosted them, we went to the ward trunk or treat where the girls were pioneers (I didn't take any pictures:( and then they wanted to be princesses for trick or treating, we ate our traditional dinner in a pumpkin and the kids got plenty of candy.
It was s good day!!!

dinner yum!

While I was out...

I left to go running one morning and when I came back to wake Kyle up for school this is what I found:) So sweet!!

Coupon deal

I haven't posted one of these for a while and this was such a good one. I got all he juice for FREE only had to pay tax, great for all he school lunches I make:). The cheese was $2.99 a brick the lady actually scanned one of my coupons twice and so I got them for $2.50 I told her about it but she didn't want to hastle about fixing so I got them for $2.5o each so I paid $5 for the cheese plus tax and just tax for the juice. I love it!!!

Beauty and the Beast

The kids when to a production of Beauty and the Beast and with their school and it was AMAZING the kids loved it and I was so lucky to be chosen as a parent volunteer so I got to go with them. It was such an ultimate princess production, Kambree leaned over to me in the middle of it and said "Mom I wish the other girls could have come" Belle had on really the most beautiful dress, it was so fun. I love that this school does cool things like this, my kids had never been to a play before so it was even that much more fun for them.

We took this by the school after it was over

Star Student

Kyle was chosen by his teacher to be the 1st Star Student in his class this year. Both his teacher and the assistant teacher on differn't occasions have said what a leader he is, that the kids just follow him. His teacher had nothing but great things to say about him at parent teacher conferences.
He is such a great kid, a great example and I am so blessed to be his mom.
