Remembering...

In sacrament meeting on Sunday the talk was on Rememberance.The rememberance that this guy mainly was talking about was how do we remember things, pictures, letters, family history. It was a pretty good talk and pretty funny too. He told us of a book that he keeps of all the funny things that his grandkids say.He enlightened us with a few it made the whole congregation laugh out loud. And it made me think my kids are at the age where they come up with some pretty funny things. For instance the other day I was upset with Jaren for working too long at night and I can't remember what I said or what she was talking about, but what she came up with is "Daddy, that's because you didn't chose the right, you chose the left," it made me laugh so hard I couldn't stay mad at Jaren any more. Then on Monday before we took Gracey to school, I never wake up on time to feed her a "good" breakfast, so she asked if she could have a snickers for breakfast and I told her no, that they weren't good for her to eat so she said "Well, why do you buy them then?" My response was speechless. Now you know why I don't weigh 100 pounds. That is the exact reason, I like candy too much. But any way kids say some pretty funny things and I am going to start finally writing them down before I forget it, in a week. A good quote that the high councilman said was "Remember who you are, you are a child of God"

KiDs...

Kids, aren't they funny! Brooklyn started out in the very bottom and then Gracey wanted to get in the one higher and and then Brooklyn seen Gracey and wanted to be like her. And then it kept getting higher.I was a little nervous about puting them up so high I wasn't sure if the shelves would hold them,but they did not even a creak. Jaren built an entertainment center to last. It better for how long it took us to make it. I love my kids so much they make us laugh all the time!!! If it wasn't for them I would turn into an old awnry(how do you spell that) lady pretty fast.

What a "Smartie" Pants

What all the "SMART" people eat!!




So When I went to pick Gracey up from school on Monday, I needed to go in and pay her teachers and one of the teachers said she has a note in her backpack. Instantly I thought it was a bad note, but she corrected me. Then she continued to tell me what it says in the letter above. Then she said that Gracey told them that she ate "smarties" last night that's why she is so smart all of a sudden. Gracey told me the night before that Grandma Julie told her that if you eat smarties you will get smarter, then she continued to tell me that I needed to try some. Well I guess it doesn't get better than that, my 4 year old (thinks)she is smarter than her mom(which doesn't mean too much). Oh kids, they say the darnest things. I guess for one meal a day I should eat smarties so that I can be as smart as her for when she starts kindergarten, or else I will be SOL. But we really are very proud of her and her accomplishments and I am also grateful for her teachers and the time they spend with the kids.

Did you know?

We went to Pocatello yesterday to do some things for Jaren. We had to ship some parts, so we were trying to find the place where we needed to go and we got lost so Jaren started texting something to someone and I kept asking who he was texting because the number was not a real number. And he told me that if you text the name of the place and what town it is in to the numbers that spell Google, they will text you back the address and the phone number. Isn't that cool. So then you don't have to call 411 or whatever the number is to call that charges you a lot. Of course with this you have to be able to send texts. Maybe that is an old trick but I have never heard of that. I thought it was pretty neat.

We had a very good Christmas, it was kind of small, but we had no regrets. Christmas morning Jaren got up at about 6:30 because Brooklyn was crying. When he went up there Gracey was awake and she told Jaren that she needed to go back to sleep so Santa could come and instead of letting her go back to sleep(like most parents would)he said are you sure he hasn't come yet. So she went out and looked and of course everything was out and in the meantime I am down sleeping. I had no idea they were coming down until I heard Gracey talk about what she got. So needless to say I didn't get to record them and their reaction. SO thanks Jaren we will have this Christmas to remember by not having any video of the kids on christmas morning. Well they played with their toys and then about 7:30 Jaren and I went back to bed. We should've stayed up and got ready because we had a big day in front of us. We went down to my Grandparents in Ogden and then back to my moms in Logan. The weather was pretty good all day until we got ready to go home and this was the day of the really bad storm(in Utah, Idaho didn't get hardly anything)The weather was so bad! It was a blizzard when we got to North Logan, I kept telling Jaren to turn around and we could just stay at my moms but he wanted to sleep in his own bed.People were driving on the wrong side of the road because they couldn't see were the road was. So they just got over when there was a car coming. Jaren in his big bad truck was passing people like they were standing still, it probably scared them right off the road, I know it scared me especially when you couldn't see the road. But we made it home about after 2 and a half hours. We were probably watched over because we stopped to help someone. But after all the craziness we had a good day.
