Yeah, it is back!

My camera is back from the repair shop. Yeah!!! Thanks to my hubby for letting me borrow his while it was gone. They sent a list of everything they checked and then sent a nice list of things to do to protect your Memory Card. Like that is the problem!!! Hopefully it will work great and will not delete over 200 pictures again. Cross your fingers. This is the only picture I got taken today after it had come. My sweet little Appleseed sitting on the floor between my feet playing with his toys. He is not a fan of laying down now that he can sort of sit up. So he requires you to hang out right next to his side to keep picking him back up when he falls over. Silly guy. His poor Dad is adjusting to him being in his own bed. He does not like that I let him cry. Now, keep in mind, it is not like I let him scream for hours on end. Just the time it takes for him to go to sleep. Course it does not help when big brother comes out to tell you that the baby is making him sick, or to play with his toys in the hallway while he is screaming, or to ask if he can sleep in your bed. So cute.

My little Princesses?

Here are my little princesses with their princess cousin. My husband tried to complain that his son looked miserable I don't think so! He even had make-up on too. He loved it!

Family Visits

We went to visit the kids Grandparents and it was such a good time. The kids adore them and their cute animals. It was a nice break from things. And I love how peaceful it is there. I try to get a picture of the kids with their grandparents for their birthday. It is always an interesting picture.Appleseed had a sucker for the first time. I know why I didn't give my other kids sugar when they were little. After awhile he would scream and throw a fit whenever he dropped it. My sweet Butterball still insists on holding Appleseed's hand all the time. Even in the car he will tell Appleseed to put his hand where he can reach it to hold. It is so precious. They are truly the best of friends.The kids and I got to go see my niece's babies today. They loved it. Butterbean was a little timid with them but Butterball did great. He kept trying to put the ferrets back in their cage. It was adorable. Thanks for letting us visit guys!

Lagoon Baby!

This my kids first time to Lagoon. Butterbean has been begging me for ages so I was excited to take her. It was so much fun and my only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We have already decided to start saving now for next year so that I can go on some of the rides with them. It was such a great time.

This is how my kids spent the drive to Lagoon. So funny as it is only about a 20 minute drive if that. At Lagoon, my 'if someone gets lost' photo. Hate taking them but feel I need to just in case. Not that I have ever lost anyone and needed this.............oops! Wow, that still is too fresh and not funny at all yet. Too scary.Riding the rides. I was hoping Butterbean would step into a big sister roll and help Butterball feel comfortable as he sometimes was a little scared. Or help him find a place to sit or something. My mistake. It was more like, don't even get near me in the line, don't even think about sitting with me on the ride type thing. Sad. I know Butterball would be the exact opposite so it is hard to see that.Butterbean and Appleseed playing on the lawn for a bit. It was cute.Tuckered out watching all those crazies at that place.Playing in the water. Butterbean wanted to lay on the ground and warm up after that. She was so cold. Butterball would walk around like that with his hat pulled down over his eyes so the water would not get in his eyes. Silly guy.

Positive Day in the Bloggosphere!

So today it is Positive Day and I am to leave a positive post. It had to happen today? So I am going to list some things that I am thankful for. I need to think of them right now as I am having a rough time. So here goes.........

My husband. He is a great Dad and they adore him so much. He loves loves loves to sit and watch movies with them, something I really can't stand. They all find places on or near him and they all just veg.

My Butterbean. She is the reason I went back to church. I knew I wanted my children raised in the gospel. And from there led us to the Temple to be an eternal family. She is a sweet, smart, funny girl and I adore her.

My Butterball. I have never met a kid so thoughtful and nice. He is polite most of the time and so sensitive to others needs. He always can make me smile. He is so wonderful to his baby brother.

My Appleseed. He is my little Angel. He brings such a light to all our lives. He is so precious and has a smile where his whole body can get into it. He adores his siblings and just lights up when they come around.

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. So blessed to have the Gospel in our lives. And so blessed to live in the awesome neighborhood we live in. I have the best neighbors around.

School is out for the summer!!

First of all, here is my cute weirdos feeding the birds. Butterbean had come in asking if she could feed the birds because there was a ton out there. What I did not realize is they used an entire package of buns. Oh well. It was cute and there was "a ton".Here is Appleseed playing at midnight. Love my little night owl.Butterbean's last day of summer school (KISS) was today. This is her first report card. So exciting for Mom and Dad. Decided to get her to recognize the letter b I would tell her b has a belly and that d has a........how do you spell that nice word for bum that starts with d? Well, I was going to tell her that to see if that would help for those words. The other day I was having her read a book to me. I was a little surprised how well she was doing but also how much trouble she was having. Turned out I was having her read a book that is a level higher than she should be reading. We will go back down for now so she doesn't get too frustrated.

Another PG-13 post?

I was nursing my baby when Butterball was patting me asking why I had two of those. I told him that that is they way Heavenly Father made me. He said, "Well I don't yike that. I am going to talk to Him about that and have him give you just one." Butterbean heard and said, "Well, if you had two babies... (She is holding her arms out like she is holding two babies.) and you need to feed them. One would be nursing and then the other would have to nurse the other's head! (Still using her arms as if she has babies in them to help explain this to us.) So that is why you have to have two." So there you go. I bet you ladies were all wondering why you had two of those things.
