Funnies

Maren and Maggie said or did a few funny things this last week. I just had to post them. Maren had a talk in Primary. I was whispering in her ear the things to say. We get to the "so we can live with Heavenly Father again" part, and she said Heavenly Father. I said "again", and she said Heavenly Father. I said, no, say the word "again" and she said Heavenly Father. I gave up!

I shopped ONLINE at Children's Place. (They had amazing deals and with the online discount code, each item was $4.00 each.) anyway, the box came yesterday. I bought them all the same outfit. (You would think I had triplets. I do that a lot!) Only McKenna got an extra outfit only in a different a color. Maggie wanted to know why she didn't get it too. I told her I had the outfit in the shopping cart for her, but I didn't buy it in time and it was taken out of my cart, because someone else paid for it before I did. With a serious face, she turns around and I asked if I saw who it was that took it out of my cart. She thought that was pretty rude! I then had to explain that it wasn't physically take out of my cart and had to explain how the whole online shopping thing works.

KIDS ARE FUNNY!

A quick catch-up! I need to get back in the groove.

Century Elementary had its annual Egg Drop. The kid used a roll of toilet paper, packing peanuts and tape, all packaged nicely into a box. As you can see, it survived! They did such a great job. There were two airplanes that made about eight passes each. They would drop the eggs and we would watch them hit and bounce on the ground. They probably dropped 300 feet.

We had an Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Florence's. Here was the good time!

Maggie and Trent-Look eggs grow on trees!

Thanks Aunt Holly for E-mailing us these!

During our post-Christmas sledding day with the Florence side of the family, Uncle Dave was at the bottom of the hill taking the jump pictures. These were well worth the wait.

The first picture is of Kelic on the front and Brenden in the rear with a huge grin. The next one is of Holly with McKenna on the front. I'm not sure her eyes opened until they landed. Talk about some serious air!

Bouncing Baby Boys and Yee-Ha Cowgirl!

We have two new additions to our family! It is 4-H time again and Brenden and McKenna have their calves for the season. Brenden's is Harry the Hereford and McKenna's is "Steaky" because that is what he will be in our freezer. We got him to raise to butcher, but she wanted to use him for 4-H. This could get complicated. We got Harry when he was a little over a month old. We couldn't get him to take a bottle or bucket, so he went straight to hay and grain. Steaky on the other had loves his bottle. We got him at five days old. All four of them love to be with him at feeding time.

Maren is our little cowgirl. Anytime she can get Trent to saddle the horses she is ready to go. The first pictures was on February 2nd riding shotgun with daddy and the others are on February 16th of her riding Grace by herself for the first time. Now she gets to played caboose.

The Bear River Valley Hospital open-house was this 6th and 7th, so we went. I forgot the camera (as usual) but lucky for us, the paramedic the was there had his camera. He said he would e-mail it to us. He might not have saved our lives that day, but he did save our memories.

The Hunt Exp was in town this weekend. Trent put me in for 6 hunts consisting of moose or buffalo. He put in for 52 hunts consisting of any walking creature with or without horns or antlers. I just can't control the man. I validated my tags and escaped to Park City for the day. Great shopping beats dead animals any day! These are a couple fun pictures they had taken while I was gone. Cool thing is, these are green screen photos. They held the plastic fish in front of the green screen and, wala, a great picture. So Cool!

These are just a couple fun snow pics of kids from this winter.

Maren thought it was fun to sit on the balls once they were made.

This last Sunday, the 18th, we all watched the Church video, Nora's Christmas Gift. Such a good movie. It came to the point in the movie where Nora is at Temple Square and is standing at the statue of Christ in the visitor's center. Maggie mentioned how big the statue must be and it dawned on us both, that we have never taken the kids to Temple Square. We have lived here forever and what bad parents are we! So, we remedied that yesterday on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. We rode the Frontrunner to Salt Lake, hopped Trax to Temple Square, saw every sight possible, ate at the fanciest restaurant we could find, JB's (Ha, Ha) and then headed home via Trax and Frontrunner. The feeling you get on Temple Square is amazing. It is so nice to get the reminders we often forget. That our family can be forever, that we are Children of our Heavenly Father. The Joseph Smith film was amazing. I can't tell you how many films I have seen on the life of Joseph Smith, but I will tell you what, I learn something new or remember something I had forgotten every time! I should have grabbed more tissue.

Sweet little Maggie lost her first tooth today. 1/20/09 She was so excited. Hey, tooth fairy, if your listening, please don't forget to deposit money under her pillow and remember to take the tooth with you. The tooth fairy seems to run a little behind when it comes to our house sometimes. :)

First Week of the New Year!

I know! I am quite shocked myself that I just posted again. Miracles do happen.

McKenna ran to me screaming for the camera. "Look at Tigger!"

No, it is not a cat on a hot tin roof, but it is one very smart kitty on a black plastic garbage can in the dead of the freezing winter.

Thanks Mister Snowplow Man! Just what we wanted to do this spring was replace our front lawn curbing :) No sarcasm there.

The M&M's sledding.

Some good friends of ours from Smithfield invited us up to do some sledding behind 4 wheelers. Here are the girls. We don't have any with Brenden, because Trent was too busy driving one of those 4 wheelers like a bat out of you know where, trying to dump Brenden off his snowboard and or a sled. (The camera was in his pocket.)
