Journal Entry

I need to do an update on Lance. He is really trying to talk now. He says "Thank you" anytime I give him something. He say "uh oh" if anything drops on the floor. He says "Daddy and Mom" of course. And he can pretty much mimic anything that I say in his own way of saying it. I just think it is the cutest thing ever. Whitney is learning her letter names and sound, and she is learning to write them. She know B,D,E,H,J,M,O,P,Q,R,S,W,X,Y,Z. She still has trouble identifying the other. But she knows all of her colors and she can count to 10. She has memorized 5 articles of faith and a plethora of songs. She has an excellent memory!! Good thing, because that is something that I don't have. There are many times that she will remind me to bring something or not forget something.
There really is no greater joy that seeing my children grow and learn. When it comes to my children I think my senses are heightened like a Super power, like Super Mom. I can see them do something and get so much joy out of it that I laugh so hard that I cry and anyone else wouldn't even notice or care. My Joy is Super Joy, My child can to something so small and I think it is hysterically funny and I Super Laugh, When I children are sick or hurt it hurt worse that anything and I Super Hurt. There is not drug that can match the High that I get from just being able to be around my children everyday and experience every little development that they have and I Love them sooooo much!!!

Lance has figured out how to get to the stairs

So I have really been trying to keep Lance away from the stairs because I did not want him to fall down them. In order to have peace of mind I went and got a gate from Wal-Mart. Well the problem is that he figured out how to crawl through the holes on the side he is so smart. We I had a come back, I put the armour in front. "Ha!! that'll hold him." Well it work for a few weeks until one day I caught him with is big baby muscles pulling the armour back and getting out. My last idea is to just take the gate off and watch while he plays on the stairs. That way he will get really good at going up and down the stairs and I wont have to worry about it anymore and my armour can go back to doing the job it was made to do along with the other couches in the living room.

Helping Mom Make Brownies

I got a crazy craving for brownies one day, so I whipped up a batch. I remember as a kid that mom would let us lick up the extra batter in the bowl after she had put the brownies in the oven. So I did the same for my kids. They had a little too much fun. Lance got to the point where he couldn't figure out how to get the amount of batter that he wanted with his finger or the spoon so he decided to put his whole head in the bowl. He is a problem solver, that one. Then Whitney would just licked it off of his head. That is what I call teamwork. I think that I got the best deal out of them all, desert and a show!!

Family Date! Dinner and a Movie

Berny and I went on a date with the kids. We went to eat at Tomato's an Italian restaurant in Twin Falls. This statue was outside of the restaurant and Whitney saw it. She went over and climbed on. I thought it was pretty cute.
After dinner we went to a movie, Whitney kept getting eaten by the chair she was sitting in. I can't remember much about the movie because I was in and out with Lance. He wanted to walk all over the theater not stay in a seat or even on his mom's lap. He is such a social little boy. He wanted to talk to everyone in the large room.

Man hole? I mean Baby Hole!

I was in the other room when I heard some really loud laughing coming from the laundry room. When I went to see what was going on I saw that they had taken the vent off of the floor and Lance was sitting in it. I laughed so hard, I think they thought they were going to be in trouble. There is nothing better that see my kids have fun and play together. I hope that they will always be best friends and want to be close to each other. Even if Whitney is shoving lance in a man hole!? Ya, as long as he is enjoying it.

Lance and Daddys Gloves

This was really cute! Berny had just gotten in from working outside and had thrown his gloves on the couch. Next thing I know Berny Lance had climbed up and put them on. Like father like son!!

St. Patricks Day, Green Egg Suprise!!

This St. Patricks day I decided to surprise everyone with a green breakfast. Berny woke up that morning and got ready for work. When he came to get his breakfast I could tell he was a little surprised. But you know him he would never complain about anything I make. Such a good sport. Whitney on the other hand did not want anything to do with the colorful surprise and Lance loved it and was asking for more!! It was a fun little way to celebrate the holiday and no one could pinch my family because their green was on the inside.
