Twighlight!

At least for the next two days!

So last week I finally gave in and read Twilight (in less than 24 hours)! It is slightly addicting for some reason, really I can't believe I am reading a book about a vampire & really no one told me there were also werewolves in it! So with that said I finished New Moon yesterday and I am almost through Eclipse now. John left this morning for San Diego, so after church I came home and tidied up the house so I could enjoy a night of reading guilt free! The kids are all in bed so I am off to read!

That's it, I need a new sister!

Yesterday morning Annie came to me very upset. Audrey had spilled juice on her beloved BunBun (her stuffed rabbit she sleeps with). I told her not to worry we could run BunBun through the wash and she would be fine. Apparently Annie did not like my response because she flipped her head and said with all the attitude she could muster, "that's it, I just need a new sister!"

It's Audrey's Birthday!

Audrey turns 2 today!!!

Where have the last 2 years gone. Audrey is such a sweet little girl and amazes us each day at how big she is getting. Our family is so blessed to have her in it! Gone is our baby girl, she is such a big girl all of a sudden. She is a crack up and loves to entertain us all. She does the cutest faces which we call her eyes, she will make mean eyes (she furrows her brows), sly eyes (will look at you from the side of her face) and shy eyes (she looks up at your through her lashes). She loves to dance and when she runs it is adorable because she only pumps one arm. Audrey is starting to talk non-stop. It is like she woke up in the last few weeks and decided that she was going to talk. She is still so sweet and loves to cuddle. She melted all our hearts this week telling John "daddy, I wub you".

Tiger Cubs!

Charlie and I have entered the world of Scouting. He is a Tiger Cub & I am his Den Leader! We had a Pack Meeting Friday night and they boys learned about Indian Dancing. It was very cute to watch all my Tiger Scouts up there dancing with hoops and trying on different parts of the costume.



He is supper excited, he got his Pinewood Derby Car kit and has been asking John all day if they can make the car yet - the derby isn't until the end of January. It may be a long month.

Ri⋅dic⋅u⋅lous

My kids and their conversations with each other have been cracking me up lately. Earlier this week we were driving into town down Jackson Hwy (it is very rural most of the way)and we passed an accident involving a truck full of turkeys that had turned over. The turkey cages were exposed and you could see at least 500 turkeys in the back of this truck.

This is the conversation that takes place between Annie & Charlie as we are driving past.

Annie "that many turkeys is just RIDICULOUS!"

Charlie "Annie, do you have a problem with Mother Nature?"

Annie "Charlie, that many turkeys is just RIDICULOUS!"

Charlie "Annie you must not like Mother Nature because she made the turkeys and you are calling them ridiculous."

Annie "I like Mother Nature, it's just that many Turkeys is RIDICULOUS!"

Annie is our little Gymnast. She is fearless and loves trying all the new activities she can! Not to mention we thought it was best for her to start gymnastics early, since she will be too tall by the time she is 6!
