Our Octobers are ALWAYS busy! With 2 birthdays, Halloween and all the parties, we decided to add a baptism to the mix.

We started the month with a birthday party for Guy at Jungle Jims with a dozen of his little friends.

Guy & Boddy

Evan & Torin

Landon & Colin

Dalton & Sasha

Then for his actual birthday. He woke up not feeling too hot, but muddled through the festivities.

Josh and I got him the Clone Wars Millennium Falcon

Bailee got him a Build a Bear

Preslee got him some wrestlers (or fighter guys and Guy puts it)

Sailor's gift was my favorite

She spent her own money on it

It's great to be 4

Sailor's birthday is a week later, but she got to go to Disneyland with Grandpa and Grandma Davis for her birthday. We got her a camera that she opened before she left, but she had to wait until she got home before she opened her other gifts. We all really missed her the 5 days she was gone. You don't realize what an impact a little 8 year old makes until she is not around.

When she got home, she opened gifts. She got a puzzle, SpongeBob Legos, an outfit, Cowgirl boots, and a Skip it.

Next, we prepared for Sailors baptism. It was on the 29th. It was amazing! She has such a wonderful spirit. Her Grandpa Davis and Great Grandpa Allred gave talks and Josh preformed the baptism and confirmation. We came back to our house for breakfast foods afterwards.

And now for Halloween and the various parties/parades.

Guy had a parade at his school.

Preslee and the baby gang

Lone Sheriff

Our family party.

Alice in Wonderland, Goth baby, and 2 sheriff's

Happy October!

August/September 2011

2011-11-02T07:05:00.010-06:00

School started with a bang! Bailee started 8th grade, Preslee 6th, Sailor is in 2nd, and Guy started preschool this year. I really can't believe that I am old enough to have an 8th grader. I met Josh when I was her age! Crazy!

The 3 amigos after school

My friend Hannah and I took the kids to $2 day at the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. The cost is usually $10 per person, so needless to say, it was a MAD HOUSE! But the kids had fun.

We went to Grandpa's lake for Labor Day weekend and played HARD on the lake.

Lots of turns riding the 4 wheeler.

Bailee brought her friend Bailey (what an unique name) and they made yummy cake ball ice cream cones for everyone.

Eating the cake balls

It was fun had by all (except Preslee. She went to Yellowstone with her friend Gabby).

We also rode bikes A LOT! Almost every night. The weather was beautiful and we played as a family as much as we could.

Bailee and Preslee started volleyball. Bailee asked if I would coach her team, and I said yes, but I couldn't just coach her team...Preslee wanted me to coach her team as well. I roped my friend Megan into helping me and we have had a good time.
But I didn't take any photos :(

Sledding with Grandma

2010-01-10T15:54:00.002-07:00

Deb and Guy spent the morning out shoveling the walks. After they were done working, Deb pulled Guy around on a big scoop shovel, just like her dad use to do to her. Guy really loves his "BamMa" or "Bam" for short.

Happy birthday

2010-01-10T15:53:00.003-07:00

Guy is obsessed with birthdays and the birthday song. Today he made his sandwich into a birthday cake and sang to me.

Too cute!

Christmas Morn

2010-01-10T15:39:00.005-07:00

Christmas came VERY early in our house. The girls got up at 5:20, but we held them off until 6.

The kids got a Wii as a joint gift form Santa.

Bailee also got a fashion design kit.

Preslee got a dog and carrier thing that she asked for.

Sailor got a Cabbage Patch.

And Guy got a tool bench.

We went to my mom's in early afternoon and visited with all of the cousins there.

Our yearly siblings photo, minus Jessie :(

Christmas Eve

2010-01-10T15:31:00.003-07:00

As per Christmas Eve tradition, we got the kids jammies (so they look cute for Christmas morning photos) and a book (in case they wake up too early).

Bailee got cute kitty jammies and the book "If I Tell You I Love You, I'd Have To Kill You"

Preslee in skull jams, and she got the book "The Sea Of Monsters"

Sailor in Owl Jammies and the book "The Princess and The Frog"

Guy's have a truck on them and he got an Elmo book

Davis Christmas party

2010-01-10T15:16:00.004-07:00

I love Christmas because we get to see so much of family. We had the party at Grandma Davis' and it was a good time. Josh was still in Colorado (notice the timing of his trip? Missing all of my families Christmas parties).
Santa came. We had KFC for dinner, and we opened gifts from my dad.

The kids and Great Grandma Davis

Dad, Cathy, and Grandma

Grandma and her grand kids (that were there)

A new addition

2010-01-10T15:05:00.003-07:00

On December 17th, my brother Eric, and his wife Nikki delivered a cute little boy.

Dominic was 20.5 inches 7.7 lbs.

The Allred Christmas party

2010-01-10T14:52:00.004-07:00

The party this year was at my church, which worked really well. The basketball court provided a lot of fun along with the small volleyball pepper game. Josh was in Colorado, so he missed this.

We started the night with soup and desserts.

Then the annual reading of the Christmas story.

Wise Guy And Lil' angel Sasha

2 wise men and a cute angel

She graduated from Mary to the narrator

Angelic

Definitely one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I remember always being an angel when I was little.

A whole lotta Santa

2010-01-10T14:24:00.004-07:00

The first Santa that we saw was in Manti.

Then we had our ward Christmas party

And lastly, the Davis family Christmas party

Thanksgiving

2010-01-10T14:09:00.003-07:00

We had a wonderful, family filled, Thanksgiving. We had Charlie, Mandi, and their family, Dustin, Tiff, and Sasha, Dallas, Dez, and Dalton, all of us, and, of course, Deb.

Deb and Tiff

Dez and Dal

Mandi and I in our aprons that Deb gave us

After dinner, we burned off the dinner by jumping some rope.

It was a good time.

Make-up

2010-01-10T14:05:00.003-07:00

With all of our girls, they have all had their turn getting in the mascara and applying it.

I should have known Guy wouldn't be any different.

At least he is cute :)

A Merry "Hoo" Christmas

2009-12-22T11:23:00.003-07:00

I know that I have a bunch more December posts that should come before this one, but I had to share this . The girls were having a sing-a-long in school today. The 6th grade, and Bailee sang "Santa's Got A Hot Rod" I have never heard this song, but it was cute.

And the 4th grade and Preslee sang "Where Are You Christmas" from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
The night before, Preslee said she wanted "Woo hair", so in the morning I had the stuff out and she was chickening out. She didn't want to be the only one with the woo hair. So we round up the 4th grade girls that walk to school with our girls, and I did a lot of fast woo hair. It turned out WAY cute and I went to the sing-a-long and they all looked the best :)

And the back.

First of many

2009-11-16T18:50:00.003-07:00

Sailor "lost" her first tooth on Saturday. I say lost loosely because I am not sure it was ready, but it was flipped out by Grandpa Davis. She was ecstatic! It changes her smile dramatically.

Checking it out.

He has pulled out a lot of teeth in his old age :)

So Cute!

Halloween night 09'

2009-11-05T07:45:00.005-07:00

We went to Josh's dads' for trick-or-treating this year. It was wonderful weather and a full moon, what more could we have asked for?! Bailee brought her friend Sam with us. It was fun for her to be there. Guy loved saying trick-or-treat and getting candy, but the walking door to door wasn't his thing. We all took turns lugging him around.

The whole gang. Bailee, Preslee, Parker (Josh's brother), Sam, Sailor, and Guy.

Too funny! Preslee and Parker.

Sam and Bailee

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Morning

2009-11-05T07:33:00.005-07:00

Halloween marks a year for our family since our Temple Sealing. We decided to take the kids to the temple grounds and also to the church history museum. We had a lot of fun. It was a good reminder to all of us. The girls decided to make it into a photo shoot, so here are some of the photos.

Mitchell clowning around

2009-11-05T07:26:00.004-07:00

My 7 yr. old niece, Brynnlie, had a carnival for her birthday party this year and Mitch agreed to donning a clown costume and making balloon animals. He was good at it and also a really good sport.

It is almost as impossible to get a 14 yr. old in a clown costume to hold still for a photo as it is to get a 2 yr. old to hold still for a photo :)

Finally one that isn't blurred.

Thanks MItch!!

Halloween parades

2009-11-05T07:19:00.003-07:00

Allred Family Halloween party

2009-11-04T14:01:00.009-07:00

The annual Halloween party was a success, as always!

Bailee AKA "Lil' Miss Halloween"

Preslee AKA "Pretty Piggy"

Sailor AKA "Dead Softball Player"

Guy AKA "Little Cowboy"

The 3 Musketeer's.
Sasha was a kitty, and Dalton a monkey. It is foggy because there was a fog machine :)

Nell and I

Cowboy and Indian

Princesses

My mom is mean to her brother :)

Ashley and Adi

What can I say :)
There were games.
Throw the candy corns into the pumpkin.

Zombie walk relay.

It was a lot of fun and a tradition we all love.

Sailor Sue turns 6!

2009-11-04T13:30:00.010-07:00

We decided for Sailors birthday this year to make her a room. This may have been a bit selfish of us to do (Sailor and Preslee were like oil and water while sharing a room) but she had no idea and it was SO much fun to see the look on her face! We got her a new comforter for her bed. Brought in Preslee's old Barbie house. Josh got a little desk pin stripped with her name and a cool design (she LOVES to draw and is quite good at it!). She also got some Barbie's, a new outfit, and movies.

The desk was probably her favorite.

Then after school, it was time for a Birthday Costume Party!!!

Sailor invited 4 friends from school but with the cousins her age, their were 15 kids! It was a blast. Organized Chaos at best. But she loved it and the kids had fun.

We started with pizza. Then we decorated cookies.

Next came a mummy wrapping game.

We played Halloween charades (sorry no photo of this riveting game).

Opened gifts and ate cupcakes (Sailor's request).

Then they danced and danced.

We are lucky to have Sailor in our family.
Happy Birthday Bean Fart (her super hero nickname she made for herself)!

Guy is 2!!!!

2009-11-04T11:22:00.011-07:00

I can't believe how fast time flies by! It seems like it was just last week that I was BIG and preggo!

And then his terrifying delivery!

Nope. 2 years have gone by. Crazy!

We were lucky enough to be in Mesquite for Preslee's softball tournament over Guy's birthday (he'll be begging us when he is older to take him here for it again!). He is a pretty easy boy to buy for. Cars. Balls. Animals. And more cars!

He really loved opening his gifts

He had a lot of help.

His farm cake.

To top it off, Preslee's team took 2nd place.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE MAN!

School Photos.

2009-11-04T11:14:00.002-07:00

The girls had picture day at school. The packages were outrageous this year and it would have cost more than $100 to buy them. And quite honestly, I really don't like the photos that they get, so I took my own :) I did order each of their school pictures so the could have that memory, and I only spent $27 on them (crazy prices, huh!!!).

A day at the Farm

2009-11-04T10:43:00.012-07:00

I am WAY behind on my blogging, so there will be a few posts from the month of October.
The first week of October, Dez, Tiff and I went to Wheeler Farm. It was fun! There were a ton of Geese that weren't afraid of the little ones. In fact, I think they would have eaten them if they had gotten the chance.

Sailor was scared, but Big Guy was there and he pushed her behind him and protected her.

"No! My sister!"

We got the kids lined up for a cute photo.

Then Dalton was off. A mad dash to the small stream to take a freezing (there was frost on the ground), face-first, dip. Dez was just 2 steps behind him but couldn't get to him in time. As she grabbed him out of the water, she dropped her camera, phone, and keys (which she didn't realize until we were on our way out), in the stream.

Dalton didn't mind the swim at all.

These photos do not do justice. He was soaked!

We did see some animals, go on a hay ride, and play on the broken farm equipment (probably their favorite thing).

One more pose for each of them :)

Dalton in his only dry clothes, footed jammies.

1st Day Of School

2009-09-09T11:06:00.005-06:00

I can't believe that all my girls are in school now. They all got the teacher that they didn't want, but they really like them now.

I have a sixth grader...that makes me OLD!!!

I had to document how tiny Bailee is compared to her friends :)

They are SO cute!

4th Grade!

Kindergarten!
(Don't ask me why she is throwing gang signs, she just kept doing it)

I thought I'd throw in a few Guy photos. He isn't in school, but he is SO cute!!!

Back to school "spa day"

2009-09-09T09:46:00.006-06:00

We have a tradition of pampering our girls and our nieces the weekend before school starts. I LOVE IT (and I think that the girls like it too)! We did a avocado facial with cucumbers to soothe their tired eyes. Mint foot soak followed with a mani/pedi. Sparkling pink girly drinks, and finger foods too. We watched chick flicks and had a wonderful sleepover!

The Phantom Of the Opera

2009-08-23T14:34:00.003-06:00

For The girls birthday this year, Cathy took us to Vegas to see The Phantom Of The Opera. It was a blast! Something that I have always wanted to see.

Thank you Cathy for the wonderful gift and a fun time!!!

Independence Day 09'

2009-07-06T14:43:00.004-06:00

After the softball tournament we went to Grandma Julie's for a BBQ, fireworks, and root beer floats.

We all had a wonderful time.

Funny sequence of photos of Mitchell and Preslee...

I am SO proud to be an American!!!

Mini Me...I mean Josh

2009-07-06T14:39:00.002-06:00

I had to share this photo.

It is now my favorite.

4th Of July ISA National Champions!

2009-07-06T14:27:00.004-06:00

Coolest bike!

2009-06-30T15:22:00.004-06:00

We got this balance bike for Guy a few weeks ago, and he loves it! He is starting to balance really well, is not scared of hills, and LOVES bumps!!! He will go up and down this bump for hours. Up the bump...then down the bump. Up. Down. Over and over (not that this gets annoying for me).

You have to remember that he is only 20 months. He is going to be a thrill seeker :)

Father's Day 09'

2009-06-30T09:18:00.011-06:00

My kids have the BEST dad!

I let the kids each make something special for their dad.

Guy finger painted a beautiful picture.

(Yes those are tears in his eyes...Did I mention Josh is wonderfully sensitive?!)

Sailor made him a "You and Me" book.

This was very cute. She took a whole week drawing her dad's favorite this vs. her favorite thing. Like 'My favorite animal is a giraffe. Your favorite animal is a tiger.' Or my favorite, 'My favorite food is Mac and Cheese. Your favorite food is spinach dip and hot sauce.'

Preslee made a Duct tape stadium seat to use at all of her softball games.

Josh used it this weekend and said it was surprisingly comfortable!

Bailee made "The Jensen's Rock Family".

She had a lot of fun with this.

Josh is always willing to drop whatever he is doing and really play with the kids. He wrestles with them, dances with them, lets them do his hair, plays catch with them, draws with them, reads to them, sings to them, and teases them like crazy! I am lucky to be married to such a "big kid".

Rat FInk Reunion 2009!

2009-06-29T15:20:00.011-06:00

We went to Manti on the first weekend of June for the annual Rat Fink Reunion!

Josh's family came from Colorado, and my brothers came down too. It was a lot of fun packed into a weekend. We mostly just played and played. There was a car show, and a dinky parade (those are the BEST!!) "Big Daddy" Roth's house had all of the pinstriper's there to entertain Josh and Sailor (she loves that kind of stuff as much as he does!).

We loved seeing everyone!

The MEANEST biker gang in town!!!

"Say Cheese" Cute cousins Guy and Dyson.

Bailee and Dessie.

Bailee and cousin Sasha.

Josh and Guy 4 wheelin' (Guy was terrified!!!)

Riding Elvis with Grandpa Davis.

Catching up!

2009-06-29T15:18:00.001-06:00

I am such a loser blogger! I am WAY behind! My next couple posts will be catch up, but then I will try to keep up...No promises though :)

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!

2009-05-26T13:32:00.005-06:00

For Bailee's birthday, we got her tickets to see her favorite person, Gwen Steffani!!!

This is her with her "Gwen Steffani" hair before the concert.

We took her to dinner, her choice, at the Red Iguana.

Then to the show. The line up was, The Sounds, Paramore, and No Doubt. Bailee sang all of the Paramore and No Doubt songs. I really didn't think that she knew them all, it surprised me! I guess that I am okay with the kids getting a little bit older. Concerts are more fun than Elmo.

I do have to remember that she will only want us there with her for a few more years...then we will be embarrassing :)

Her after the show. She had a blast!!!

Just a kid

2009-05-26T11:43:00.004-06:00

Guy had a week of head trauma.
He started out by falling off of our bed on onto his forehead. It was at 6:30 a.m. and I picked him up and he said, through screams, "hit my head" I said "I know honey, you hit your head, now go to back to sleep." He did and he woke again at around 8:00, his usual wake-up time. I brought him upstairs and when we got in the light, I felt like the worst mom!!! His forehead was a HUGE purple goose egg. I most definitely shouldn't have let him go back to sleep after the fall.

3 days later, all of the kids were playing outside when Libbie, my niece, comes running in and right out the front door. Bailee comes in next, and runs out the front door, then back in and screams, "Guy is bleeding!!!" Josh looks out the back door and then goes out the front door too (he doesn't do good with blood and he claims he was getting the salmon off of the BBQ because he thought we were heading to the ER and he didn't want it to burn). I run out to find Preslee carrying Guy, both covered in blood and both sobbing. Head wounds bleed. They really bleed!!! Preslee had jumped out of the swing and it went back and hit Guy on the other side of the forehead. There was an inch long gash. It was again, very swollen, and looked like it needed stitches. Luckily we had Josh's grandma in town and she said that if we just got the swelling down and butterfly bandaged it, it should close. We did as she said, and it worked. The next morning, it was closed and looked as if it was just a small scratch.

The final crash was, again, 3 days after the second. It was lunch time and I was letting Guy and Sailor have a picnic in the backyard. I spread the blanket and went in the house to grab their plates, when I heard a BIG crash and a scream from Guy. I guess that Guy decided to climb a ladder that was on the side of the house and it fell on him. His arm was really bruised, and his nose was bright red, but I thought that was it. Come the next morning, he had 2 black eyes.

Bruised and battered, I made a comment that he was "accident prone" Josh's grandma corrected me and said, "He is just a kid".

Graduation

2009-05-12T22:07:00.007-06:00

Kindergarten. Already. I am old.

I really can't believe that Sailor had her preschool graduation. She seems old enough, but in my head, she is still my baby. Her program was way too cute! Her teacher, amazingly, gets all of the kids to sing a few solos, as well as a bunch of other songs. Sailor was Sleeping Beauty and she beautifully belted out the song that starts like "I know you. I walked with you once upon a time." She also had a solo in Winnie the Pooh, and some song that was about Lady Liberty. She also slow danced with a boy named Ben. It was fun.

The girls and "Teacher"

Sailor and her cousin Lucy.

Ben, her dance partner

Bailee is 11 shout hurray!

2009-04-28T08:48:00.007-06:00

I can not believe that my baby is 11.

How old does that make me!? She is getting to the age that she didn't want any toys. All she asked for was a Twilight bracelet, shoes, cute hats, and No Doubt concert tickets. She got all she asked for...spoiled brat :)

On her birthday we had her cousins over for her favorite dinner (enchalatas), her favorite cake (white cake with chocolate/cream cheese frosting), and her favorite icecream (birthday cake). She wants to have a sleepover with some friends for her party, but, we do not have a weekend that is open...as of yet.

Meanest Mom in the WORLD!!!

2009-04-28T08:21:00.003-06:00

I made Guy a breakfast consisting of sliced grapes, bananas, and pears.

When I put it in front of him, he freaked out!

He threw a fit for about an hour.

As I said, meanest mom in the world!

Kindergarten registration

2009-04-14T13:56:00.003-06:00

Today I registered Sailor for kindergarten. She is so ready!!!

This was our conversation after leaving the school.

Sailor- "Mom, do I have school tomorrow?"
Me- "Yes, you have preschool"
Sailor- "I thought I was in Kindergarten now"
Me- "Kindergarten will start after the Summer is over"
Sailor- "Is it Summer?"
Me- "No, it is still Spring"
Sailor- "Is Summer next week?"
Me- "No, It is in a few months"
Sailor- "So, I start Kindergarten next week?"
Sad. She wants to be a big like her sisters so bad.
I am just savoring the days I still have with her.

Easter

2009-04-14T13:10:00.009-06:00

We has a busy, but fun, Easter. Friday we went to Grandpa Jeff's and had an egg hunt and dinner. We all had a really good time.

Saturday, we colored eggs.

Sunday, the kids woke up to a picture scavenger hunt (I had taken a bunch of photos of different items and hid the corresponding photos in order until the last one led to their baskets), we had a egg hunt in the back yard.

Ate Easter bunny pancakes.

We went to church, and then went to Grandma Julie's for an egg hunt and dinner. Fun, yet busy. The kids baskets were new church bags for each of them.
They had the new church photo art bound book, a coloring/sticker book, crayons and markers, pipe cleaners (the kids love to play with them and it keeps them quiet), and snacks. There was also candy and their Easter clothes.

We had a wonderful day and we talked a lot about the reason we have Easter.

Bailee

Her choice of pose.

Preslee

Guy

It is impossible to get all of the kids looking at the camera at the same time.

IMPOSSIBLE!

The best of the bunch.

Picky eater?

2009-04-14T12:54:00.003-06:00

We had smoked salmon, broccoli, and mac and cheese for dinner on Saturday, it was SO yummy! Guy loved the mac and cheese (he had 2 servings), he loved the salmon, but the broccoli was another story. While licking (literally) the salmon off of his plate, he would push the broccoli to the top, then lick the salmon.

He did this over and over, getting a bit frustrated that the broccoli wouldn't stay out of his way. So, he put his plate down and started hiding the broccoli under the side of his plate.

Now I will know where to look when he gets older and has magically eaten all of the dreaded broccoli.

Bruiser

2009-04-01T20:46:00.004-06:00

Guy lost a fight with a rock and a picnic table.

We went to a BBQ at a friends house on Friday and he tripped on the mean rock and hit his face on the table.

He does look tough though :)

Cute Hats

2009-03-25T21:31:00.003-06:00

I love hats! The kids look so cute in hats. Thus, a cute hat photo shoot with Sailor and Guy.

Happy haircut!

2009-03-25T21:13:00.003-06:00

Guy was in need of a haircut. He might have see-through hair, but it sure was shaggy. He loved the car he got to sit in and I was lucky because he didn't freak out like the boy before us did.

Preslee's 9th birthday

2009-03-14T22:26:00.011-06:00

Preslee turned 9 today!

She had a "Twilight" party.

I made cupcakes with "bite" marks in them. The middle was cherry pie filling or "blood".

Her favorite gift from her friends was a Jacob poster.

They rocked out with Rock Band

I painted 9 girls finger nails. Ruby was too tired to make it through the drying process.

We stayed up WAY too late!!!
But it was fun and I can't believe that she is nine. It seems like only yesterday that I was in the delivery room watching the Price is Right, waiting for Preslee to arrive.
How time flies.

Mesquite with cousins

2009-03-14T22:10:00.003-06:00

We met Jessica and the boys for fun in the sun last weekend. The kids played HARD and Jess and I relaxed. I am very thankful for Josh who spent all hours outside with the kids playing catch, and being the "fun" one.

How the kids view me.

self portraits

Bailee has been taking a lot of photos, mostly of herself.

It made me take a step back when I saw them.

She is really growing up.

She is beautiful.

She is looking more like a teenager.

I AM SCARED!

The "hunt"

2009-02-21T22:52:00.005-07:00

Sailor has been making huts, or as she says it, "hunts". She uses pillows and blankets, or "blanklies". I really love the way she says things. I know that it wont be long before she says things correct, and I will miss these days.

Late night bath in the sink

2009-02-13T10:07:00.002-07:00

Last night before bed, Guy found one of Sailor's Valentine's Day suckers. He was sticky from head to toe. Josh decided to bathe him in the sink and it was so much fun! The photos are priceless!

Valentine fun

2009-02-13T09:24:00.005-07:00

So the girls decided to make their own Valentine's this year. Bailee chose a "Twilight" theme. Her Valentine's were black hearts and said "Girls name + Edward" or "Boys name + Bella". They had little "bite" marks on them with blood dripping down. Her box was covered with "Twilight"photos. Funny.

Preslee's chose a "recycle/peace" theme. Her box was tie dyed and had various peace sign stickers on it. Her Valentine's were peace signs and had different "Go green" pins attached.

And the "Mother of the Year" award goes to...

Not me. Today was one of those days. Guy cried for a good 2 1/2 hours. He normally doesn't act like that. He is very well natured and happy. So, today he got up, as usual. Ate his breakfast, as usual. I got him dressed, as usual. He was happy. About 10 minutes later, it was all over. All he wanted to do was cry, flop on the floor, and cry some more. I thought maybe he was still hungry. Nope. I thought maybe was thirsty. Nope. I thought, maybe he just wanted to nap, so I put him in his crib, and he cried. I let him cry for about 20 minutes before I got him, and, what-do-you-know, he had pooped. I thought, maybe he just had a stomach ache and he should feel better now. Nope. He cried and arched his back when I held him. He cried and arched his back when I put him down. Finally, I decided he wanted to go out for a walk. That didn't help either. In the back of my head I kept thinking something is really wrong. He doesn't act like this. I need to take him to the doctor and figure it out. I decided to take it up with the Big Man first, and I knelt in prayer. I asked to know what to do. I decided to take him on another walk, but let him actually walk this time. Screaming, he walked down the driveway, and fell. I heard the Spirit voice to me that I should "Check his shoe". I ran down the driveway and pulled off his shoes and socks, to find that his big toe had been tucked under his other toes and was bright red, except for the tip, which was white. He had immediate relief and stopped crying and laid his head on my shoulder. I just cried and thanked My Father for His guidance.
Guy is in slippers for the duration of the day. He will not let me put his shoes on him. Can I blame him...no!!!

Mother of the Year...I am NOT!

Hippity Hop

2009-02-05T15:26:00.003-07:00

Sailor is in a hip hop dance class. She practices NONSTOP! She is constantly saying "Mom, watch me do a handstand", or "Mom, watch this head stall". I love the fact that she is passionate about it, but I wish that the pactices could be without me watching. Notice the bonk on her nose. It is from practicing her moves in preschool.

First

Blogging has never been something that I longed to do. It is kind of like scrapbooking, I liked it alright, but I didn't really make time for it. But, because of my wonderful sister, I have decided to give it a try. I figure if she can do it anyone can :)
