Two Year Olds

The other day I was off from work, working on my blog when I hear pans hitting each other. So I went into the kitchen. Tyler had the pan, cracked eggs (minus some shell) in the pan and the whisk and said "I want eggs mom!" Funny boy, all he had to do was ask!

Catching up, Again

Half the time, I am forgetting my camera of special moments here and there, because it seems to always be to heavy in the purse, anyway, I thought I would journal some of my thoughts the past couple of weeks.

I teach the 4th Sunday lesson in Church monthly, and last month my lesson was by Pres. Uichdorf- Power of Hope. I get so frustrated in preparing my lessons, afraid they will be to short and no one commenting, etc. I was doing my lesson, when in the middle of the lesson, out of no where, I reflected back when Tony was sick 5 years ago. I talked about the Hope of the "unknown" in his health prior to Christmas that year, how I had paid our last bit of money we had to our name to tithing. I remember we put our Faith and Hope to our Savior. That Christmas was the most blessed in our lives, were so many people gave to us, some not even knowing us, and thruout the next 6 months with Tony's health that helped pay for his surgery's with no insurance at that time, and helped pay the bills, mortgage, many more times to the hospital visits, etc. while Tony could not work. I am so eternally grateful for our Faith and Hope in our savior at that time that blessed us at that time. I also a couple of sisters at the end to give some personal examples of times of Hope and did awesome. The spirit was so strong that day and I learned so much from this amazing lesson.

On Christmas Eve, my whole family got together, minus my brother in law (Zach), who went to the Sugar Bowl. We went out to ice skate on dads pond with the kids. Dad decided to take the tractor onto the pond, to plow the snow, you know what happened, it fell right thru the ice. Likely, my brother Jason was there and got dad off and he hoped on and worked on getting it out for an hour. Afterwards, Alexa and my little neices said we kept praying that the tractor would get out and it did. Our prayers were really answered. The Faith of a child is amazing. It made me realize they are always watching our examples and to always teach them rightously as much as we can.

Later we all got to play games, Ripple and Dice were a blast and staying up past midnight at Jared's.

On the 3rd, my niece, Autumn got baptized in Highland. We were glad to make it to her special day. It was beautiful. Harmony did a great job on her talk on the Holy Ghost and the food afterwards was so yummy.

On the 10th, we took the kids out to Salt Lake to use up Weston's Jr. Jazz tickets. We decided to take the kids to Tepanaki, they loved it and we had a great time. Then we watched the Jazz/Pistons game, but had to leave at half time, because the 2 year old kept going up and down the stairs, which wasn't good since we were the very top of the Energy Solutions Arena. So back to Roosevelt. Long trip, but a great time with the kids.

Sunday, we made it to church, tired and exhausted from the late night. It was great to have Tony there and having him there for all the meetings. Its been a while since he had. It really made my day. Later that night, Weston had Baptism Preview. I can't believe he will be getting baptized this year. He is growing up so fast.

I forgot to mention in my Christmas blog, that Weston had some dental work done on some cavities prior to Christmas. He had his top two teeth really loose, but they weren't coming out. He kept singing All I want for Christmas is to loose my two front teeth. He told the dentist, and he got really excited, so he numbed the top of Weston's mouth and pulled them out. The dentist said he made his day because he got to do it for fun. He said Merry Christmas, no charge- nice :)

I also at this time, pray for my good friend Cami. She is pregnant (I think 22 weeks). She has not been able to keep hardly anything down and has lost so much weight. I pray that here and the baby will be okay and that the doctors can figure out what can help them both out.
