You've Had A Birthday Shout Hooray!

Dace just celebrated his 3rd birthday. He is growing up too fast. He loves to play with cars, watch Mickey Mouse Club House, eating chocolate, snuggling his mom, quoting Yoda, watching Mater and Ca-chow, and bossing his brothers and sister around. He lets people know what he is thinking by giving a thumbs up, or angry eyebrows. He has tonz of fun in his church class, and loves his teacher. He sings "Shake your Peanuts" (a Mickey Mouse song.) He has a funny sense of humor, and is always trying to crack a joke (even if we don't understand it.) His favorite game is Hide and Seek (he likes to be "IT".) He thinks he is as big as his brothers but, loves to be treated like the baby. You never know what name to call him. He is forever playing pretend and gives him self a new name. Lately he has been "Austin the Kangaroo." He loves to say "Dad pees his pants?" He is a little stingy with his smiles, but when you get one it melts your heart. If you ask him how old he is he says, "I'm free and a half!" We love Dace! We must have done something pretty special in Heaven to deserve the right to know this special little spirit on Earth.

Check out the slide show below. It is amazing to see how much kids grow and change every single day. They are small unnoticeable changes. Rarely do I look at my kids and think WOW! You grew last night. But, that is exactly what they do.

P.S. I love the digital camera.

They Grow Up Right Before Your Eyes!

What's In A Name?

Help me out. I don't like the title of my blog. It's not that I don't like our name. It's just as I look at other blogs they have cute little titles. Let's face it. My title is a snooze. Suggestions anyone?

Oh No It Can't Be!

Last month when I got my hair cut, the girl cutting my hair said she found a grey hair. I sluffed off her comment. My hair is very dark and if the light hits it just right the shine looks like a white hair. This morning as I was doing my hair it happened. I found a grey hair! It was not just grey, it was 6 inches of white, white, white hair. It was no reflection of light, although I was trying to tell myself it was. I pulled the hair out and stared at it. Can it be that I am getting old? Do I keep pulling the hairs until I am bald? Do I start coloring my hair? Whats a girl to do?

I am Starving!

I am so baby hungry! Everywhere I look I see ladies with bellies full of BABY! And I want one! (Yes, Erica I too love the exclamation mark!) I look at my lovely family and notice how big they are. I feel like I am graduating to a new babyless part of my life. These feelings may be brought on by the upcoming birthday of my baby. He will be 3 and officially "not a baby" by self proclamation. It doesn't help that I can only have a baby with serious help from a doctor. I thought I could pacify this need by holding others' babies. When a new baby is near you need to wait in line to hold it. Once you have it you need to guard against others trying to steal the baby from your arms. I never really bothered me before but, I have always had my own babies to fall back on. Now, I feel like growling at any who approaches. Taya's teacher just adopted a beautiful baby girl. Taya asked the other night if we could adopt two baby twin girls. When I asked her why, she said, "I told my whole class we were and I don't want to be a liar." I thought it sounded like a plan but, Royd shot it down. Alas,(sigh) I think I will have to come to terms with being babyless.

We Had SNOW Much Fun On NewYears

The Johnsons stayed with us for New Years. Sledding in the Pickering's field was the highlight.
