"If you have any poo fling it now!"

That was exactly the phrase that came to mind when I opened the door to Sean's room a couple of days ago. Sean's gotten into the nasty habit of taking off his diaper in the morning. Well this particular morning he took off his diaper and then pooped in his crib. He then proceeded to smear the poop all over his crib and throw it on the carpet below. When I came in it was EVERYWHERE! Needless to say the first thing he got that day was a bath! For the first time I was thankful for my sinus infection and I couldn't smell anything. That was probably the most disgusting thing I have ever had my children do. What a stinker, literally!

Cough Balls & Yogurt

Kurtis has had a cold that he is getting over and he had a nasty cough that came with it. I told him every time he coughs and something comes up to spit it out and not swallow it again. Well he had swimming lessons yesterday and at the end of swimming lessons this is what he tells me.

"Mom I had cough balls when I was swimming, but I couldn't spit them out, so I had to swallow them."

I just started cracking up. Then later on that day the boys were having yogurt for a snack. Kurtis watched Ni-Hao Kailan earlier that day and in the show they taught the Chinese word for snow. So this is the conversation we had,

"Mom, how do you say yogurt in Chinese?"
"I have no idea."
"Yeah, me too."

And that was it. So if you know the Chinese word for yogurt leave a comment so I can pass it on to Kurtis.

New recipe!

New pictures!

So I took the boys to get some pictures taken for Sean's 1st birthday, I know it's late, and to get some updated photos of Kurtis and because I wanted to give Jake a nice picture for Father's Day. Sean did surprisingly well. He only lasted about 20 minutes, but we got some great shots in those 20 minutes. Hope you like them.

Kindergarten Graduation!

Kurtis just graduated from kindergarten. I can't believe that he will be going into first grade. He has learned so much I was so proud of him. He had a little speaking part at his graduation when he talked about what they learned this year. While Jake and I were filming him and taking his picture during the ceremony he kept looking over at us and trying not to smile and look too proud of himself. He was so cute!

Smiling big, ready for my part!
Singing a fun song.
With his teacher, Mrs. Roberts.
With Mom.
With Dad.

Memorial Day Weekend

Swimming time!

We went to Cliff and Lynne's for Memorial Day Weekend! Almost everyone was there. We had a great time visiting with family and relaxing. Kurtis swam every chance he got and Sean ate ice from the ice cream maker. A good time was had by all.

Pockets Full of Sunshine

I love the song "Pocket Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield. It makes me feel happy. I have really taken the time to count my blessings this past week and a half and it has really lifted my spirits. Last fast Sunday we did a family fast for me. My whole family fasted and I felt their prayers and strength. This whole last week I have felt their strength and my Heavenly Father's arms around me. It was so overwhelming, in a good way. My MS has been pretty bad lately. I am over extended right now so the stress is taking it's toll on my body. So I had been feeling depressed. After that fast, I focused more on all the wonderful things in my life. As I started that list, I came to see that it is SOOOOO much longer than the trials I face. I want all of you I have felt your prayers, love and strength. I am so grateful that the Lord makes it so we don't have to go through this life alone. There are so many things that can bring us down if we let them. However, there is one major thing that can bring us eternal happiness and that is the gospel! What a blessing! I am so grateful for my pockets and pockets and pockets full of sunshine!
