Low Point

Well today I have officially hit a low point in my life. Yesterday, Hunter took the can of Spray Starch and was spraying Parker in the face. I took the can away, but put it on my bathroom counter. I'm sure you can see where this story is going. This morning, after finishing my hair, I grabbed the can of starch and sprayed my hair instead of using hairspray. Some may think--well, the starch should hold your hair too, not a problem. Unfortunately, starch in hair equals A LOT of flakes. The more I messed with it, the flakier it got, so I gave up. Now as I head to Costco, I look like I have some scalp disease!

A Mortifying Moment

So today I had to play the piano in primary because Becky was out of town. Anyway, they were talking about treating our bodies like temples, or something like that, honestly I wasn't really paying that much attention. I wasn't until I heard Tyler's name called. The primary president says, "Tyler, what is something good we can put in our bodies?" His answer: "Beer." And then he laughed. Oh if looks could kill.....

Christmas

I feel like I have been out of touch with the blogging world for awhile, so I figured I should post a couple of December pictures. My sister-in-law Sara bought the kids the cutest apron sets to wear while cutting out and decorating sugar cookies. Though this year I bought the sugar cookie mix from Costco where you just add a couple of ingredients. I know, I am slack, but it was a busy month. Anyway, we made the cookies, cut them out, and then we frosted them (with homemade frosting), and Tyler turned to me and said, "What is wrong with these cookies--they are hard as rocks. They might break Santa's teeth. Maybe he will let his reindeer eat them." So basically I have raised cookie snobs and unless they are homemade, they are only good enough for animals.

OK-this picture would have been even funnier if I got Brock's face as he was gagging. Anyone that knows Brock will appreciate this picture--he has the weakest stomach, it is quite ridiculous. This was on Christmas morning, right in the middle of opening up presents, we had to take Sawyer upstairs and give him a bath.

Happy boys with their presents--especially the DS!!

Christmas Eve with their matching pajamas!

Fever

Parker woke up with a fever on Thanksgiving morning--of course, we have to be sick on the holidays. Anyway, it has lasted a couple of days, and finally yesterday I told Parker that his fever had gone down a little bit. A couple of minutes later Parker comes to me and tells me his stomach hurt, because the fever went down to his stomach. Then about an hour later, he comes and tells me that the fever has now moved down to his feet, which means he is almost all better, because the fever will soon move out of his whole body. What a funny boy! I forget kids take everything so literally.

One More Picture

Here is one more picture that I love--probably because this picture describes my life...notice Parker between my legs hanging on. Side note: right after this picture my kids almost knocked me completely over.

Family Pictures

Well, we FINALLY had our family pictures taken. Here are some of my favorites...

It finally happened...

I knew it would happen eventually, but today it finally did. Tyler decided he was going to change his last name and move out. Why? Well, didn't you know, Brock and I are the meanest parents EVER!! We don't let him watch TV whenever he wants and we never let him buy ice cream from the ice cream man. (Which, I daily curse the DUMB ice cream man.) Anyway, he said he would rather go play with his friends, change his last name and go live with some of the "nicer" neighbors. Unfortunately for him, I called all the neighbors as soon as he left, so they all turned him away at their doors. When he came back to our house to get a sweatshirt, we told him we didn't give food or sweatshirts to little boys that didn't live with us, so he would just have to stand out in the cold. Well, it took 30 minutes in the backyard with him crying, throwing rocks, crying some more, but he finally yelled through the window that he was ready to change his last name back to Bean. Ahhhh....we have our son back.
