Clarification

So I have already had a couple of calls, so here is the story on this, you know how kids fight over toys, well it looks like Ava won this time... but actually she lost since she is now in big trouble. Char put these up because Suzanne wanted to check out the damage to see if anything needed to be done to Graysons head. Note to self buy nerf toys only.

Let me know what you what me to do.

Party at the Thomas's

So we had some good friends over on Friday and played would you rather. So here are some pics.
Brett and Suz had to drink like a cat, while Jeff and Rachelle had to slow dance with a mop. It's a pretty fun game.

Tingercutter

Ok, this is a test. There is only one question and you only get one answer.

What is the definition for tingercutter.
a) A toilet plunger
b) A little girls hair accessory
c) A butter knife.
The answer, for those of you who don't speak 3 year old is c, a butter knife.

I walked into the kitchen today and found Ava trying to get the plastic wrap off a loaf of bread. I asked her if she needed help, she said "yes mom". So I opened the plastic wrap and broke her off a piece of bread. She looked at me and said "mom, you don't need the tingercutter?" I looked down at the cupboard and noticed that she had gotten out a butter knife to cut the bread with. I said "Ava that is a knife", she said "no mom" and then ran over to the knife drawer, opened it and said this are knifes".

11 Wonderful Years


Eleven years ago today, I made a choice I wouldn't change for anything. I married my best friend. When I think back on that day there is a lot I would change, the weather, my dress, my hair, my veil, my bridesmaid's dresses (sorry girls), and Jut's tux. But in all the craziness that a wedding day "is" I can say that ours was a joy. I made him sweat bullets by being 5 minutes late getting to the temple. We made my parents mad by being 30 minutes late to the dinner, and we (Jut) got frustrated when the reception did not end on time. But overall it was a wonderful day full of family, friends and new beginnings. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with such a strong, kind, loving, handsome man. He is a wonderful father and an amazing husband and I consider myself lucky to be stuck with him for eternity. Happy 11th anniversary babe. I love you.

Ava's 3 year pics and Benson's 3 month pics

So, after three or four short photo sessions each, I was able to get some pretty cute pics of both Benson and Ava. She is getting so big. She is so smart and is a professional at getting "her" way, I can't believe that she is already 3. She has a wonderful imagination and she loves to dress up. Her newest trick is getting into closets and dressers at our friends houses, most of which have boys. She will put on their pants, shirts, shorts, and even underwear. She sneaks in and does it while trying to attract as little attentions as possible and when she considers herself "dressed" she comes out with a sly grin and shows off her clothing creations.
Benson is growing too fast, he is already over 14 lbs., he has the cutest laugh, and most beautiful smile, but he still has the sweetest "sad" face when he gets frightened or upset. He loves the attention he gets from his sisters but he lets me know when he has had enough. Each stage he goes through is fun but as he achieves each one it makes me miss the tiny stage even more. I find it more and more amazing as I watch each of my children grow and change. Each stage in their development brings new challenges and I find it amazing how perfectly our Heavenly Father has design each and every one. I am so thankful for my children especially when they are so cute. Plus I all need the "cute" times to help me through the challenging ones.
