I wanted to document. :) Josh is a little ham. I haven't been nearly as good at documenting him as I would have liked.

We had been doing a lot of driving and Josh whose 2 1/2 was pretty done. Several times he said:

Josh: "I'm gonna throw up! Get me out of here!"

on our bathroom mirror Ben (6) wrote

"mom you are the best. you'll get the hang of chess" :)

Josh: "mom, I got a scratch (holding up his shirt).

Me: "how did you get a scratch?

Josh: "a shark scratched me."

Me: "where was the shark?"

Josh: "in the water"

Me: "what water?"

Josh: "the ghost water."

I have ZERO idea where that came from!

on our way home from Grandma and Grandpa's late one night Josh should have totally zonked but he didn't and kept asking:

"mom, where's my bed?" in a totally tired sweet voice. It was adorable.

Sarah got into my mom's makeup when we were there the other day. She put mascara on her eyelids and blush all over her face. She looked pretty cute.

She kept asking everyone if she was cute in a flirty way.

In this last week the kids have all had the croup. The totally share the things I don't want them to! It's sad to see them sick but it is nice too. Nice because they let me hold them and I feel like they need me.

I wonder sometimes if it is like that for Heavenly Father. If He sort of likes it when I'm having a hard time because I come to Him more, I need Him. Just a thought. :)

Being a mom is good. Life has thrown our little family a lot of curve balls lately. We are learning how to get through together and not apart. Some days it is easier than others. :)

Never in all my life have I felt so much love. I know my Heavenly Father knows where I am and what I need. That is a wonderful feeling.

I used to save these from the side bar and put them in word. Instead I am going to put them on here. The end.

I was laying on the couch the other day and Josh walked over and rubbed my back a little and said, "mom, ya dead?". Ben and Sarah came around the corner and Josh said, "Hey, mom's dead".

While sitting on our pew in sacrament meeting, Josh was playing with some monkeys that link together and singing, "I've got a dream, I've got a dream..." Then turned around and told the people behind us "look at the monkeys! it's on top!" I'm pretty sure a good several rows heard his bit of entertainment.

The other morning before I got the kids out of bed were sitting in there talking. Sarah started climbing up to the top bunk to visit Ben.

J: "Sarah, don't climb on Ben's bed, it's super hot!"

At FHE I asked the kids what kinds of things the Prophet has asked us to do.

Sarah replied: "say our prayers, make our beds, get dressed, take Ben to school, eat treats, go to sleep!" -all in one breath and complete excitement!

Ben was drawing a picture of him playing soccer and drew some fireworks for when he scores a goal!
