Sarah Dancing

A few days ago when Moroni and I were at the one man band restraunt, the juke box turned on and sarah started shaking her head from side to side. It took me a minute but eventually I realized that she was dancing, since she can't stand up yet the only way for her to dance is with her head. Here is a video of her "dancing". (Sorry it is not the best quality)

Mary Visits

On Monday Aunt Mary came to visit. We had a good time hanging out and going to McDonald's for lunch.

Look at these four handsome boys. Conner, Brennan, Elijah, and Bowen
Don't Mary and Crysania look a lot alike. She definitely takes after Moroni's side of the family

Do you remember making cushion forts? I do, and my kids love to make them as well. I am constantly putting the cushions back on the couch. This is Elijah bringing the cushions up stairs because apparently the three couches upstairs don't have enough cushions.

PUN

My mom sent me a email that had the top 10 puns. This was my favorite, so I thought I would share it with you and give you all a laugh.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of
the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.
He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd
diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, man, this is SO
BAD, it's good) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

Happy Birthday Bowen

On Saturday we celebrated Bowens birthday. He decided that instead of having a party at home he wanted to go to Jumping Jacks. The kids all had a really fun time jumping on all the blow up toys. And miraculously there were no injuries.

After the fun we went to Del Taco for dinner, to open presents and eat brownies (He chose brownies instead of cake this year)
Here is Bowen with his two friends that we brought along, Josh and Nate Parsons

Springville Art Museum

Today we went to the Springville art museum for our field trip. They have a new exhibit of Utah children book illustrators. They have a room set aside with art from several illustrators and they also have all the books there for you to read. We sat for about 30 minutes reading fun books. I would tell the kids to look at the art on the wall and find their favorite, then we would try to find the book that went along with that picture. When we were leaving I let the kids go in the gift shop and pick out thier favorite book to buy, so now we have three great new books. What a great field trip idea THANKS MOM for letting me know about it.

I was too busy trying to manage four kids to think about taking pictures, until the very end. So these aren't the best pictures but they are kinda cute, and they are the only ones I got.

I VOTED

I hope every one got around to voting today. Although I felt dumb using the electronic voting machine, I messed up and then couldn't get it to fix my mistake. Every time I would go back to fix it, the machine would just buzz at me. But I was too embarrassed to ask someone for help. Oh well.

I love my kids

I feel so blessed to have four such wonderful kids, that I wanted this blog to be all about them and how special they are.

Sarah is so cute!!! I can just sit for hours watching her play. She makes the cutest faces. She doesn't crawl yet but she has sure figured out how to get every where she wants by rolling. Her new trick is patting her mouth and saying ahh, like an indian, but she doesn't use the front of her had she uses the back, so cute.

Crysania new love is sewing, she has been getting the sewing machine out everyday this week and using old scrap material she is sewing crazy hats and purses and what ever else her imagination can think of.

Elijah is my quiet kid. He will just go off by himself and disappear for hours. Mostly he is playing on the computer downstairs. He usually only comes around when he is hungry or if I make him come upstairs. It is a good thing we have a ton of educational games for that kid.

Bowen is the most loving kid in the world. When he was little he would walk up to people in church or walking down the street and give them hugs, and he still love to give hugs. He will come up to me in the kitchen while I am working and give me a hug and kiss, I just love it!! He is also my biggest helper around the house and with Sarah.
