Right Now 5

* When Mark is finished eating he starts to play Peek-a-Boo.

* Mark likes to play a blinking game with us, we just look at each other and start blinking.

* I say "Ahh, suck!" a lot and so now I hear "Ahh, suck!" from Katelynn. Ben said to me today, you know you say that all the time that is why she says it. Yup.

* We have made this Potato Soup a couple times now and Love it. It is easy to make and the kids don't complain about it either. Win-Win! I just use Chicken broth instead of water and don't add the bullion cubes.

* Today I was nibbling on Katelynn and said, "Oh, Katelynn, you are delicious!" and she turned to me and said, "Mom! I'm not a sandwich!" Ha! I love her!

* Mark has this little school girl laugh that he does all the time and we just love it. I want to video tape it but I don't know if I will be able to catch it.

* My Parents celebrated their 35th wedding Anniversary today. My dad wanted an Anniversary picture so I went over and took it for them on Friday. I do like how it turned out. Katelynn wanted to be in the picture so bad so she stuck a chair right next to them. Silly goose. Now, if I wanted a picture of just her it is so hard to get but if others are taking pictures too she wants in on all the action.



* I am ever so grateful that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I know that I am sealed to my husband and children through this life and into eternity.

* Katelynn has become even more of a little mommy and will tell Marky, or Daddy or I not to make bad choices and tell him why he shouldn't be doing something, which she probably was just doing. Ben had marked his scriptures and Katelynn saw it and was so flabbergasted by it and told Daddy that he had made a bad choice by writing in his scriptures and that he needed to go on time out.

* I am done with everyone being sick all last week we were sick and it is flooding into this week too. I caught their cold too. I love when we are healthy.

* I vacuumed twenty minutes before this picture was taken can't you tell.


* Katelynn took her stroller outside and was determined to clean the dirty wheels promptly when she brought it back in. She took it into the bathroom and started cleaning it. She brought it out and was very happy with her work but it was still so wet and she didn't know what to do about it. I told her, "Why don't you go and get a towel for it?" You should have seen that light bulb moment happening, Katelynn then said, "OOOOHHHH, Yeah. A towel!" and promptly brought out the bathroom towel to dry her stroller. Mind you this was all happening while we were trying to eat dinner.

* Today was Katelynn's official first day in Primary. I took her picture for our Primary Family tree and she gave me her classic Katelynn smile.



* Katelynn have a purse full of her treasures. It is a brown purse that I used to use and she has been taking it everywhere with her and to bed. We found her with her treasures all lined up one night when she went to bed. I put the tray on the floor before I go to bed.


* We Had Chicken Parmesan for dinner tonight and Mark loved it. Actually we all liked it. Very easy and goes in the Crock-pot here's the recipe

* Getting a new fridge after having our other one for just 6 years was not in our list of to-do's this week but it would be smarter in the end just to have a new one and not worry how long the "fix" would work.

* The new fridge came on Friday and I am grateful for it and that I don't have to dig through an ice chest anymore. I really like this fridge and it has some nice improvements like easier opening drawers.

* RSV has been the theme of our week. We have tried to stay home and relax as much as possible but man these kids (especially Mark) need to get out.

* With everyone being sick this week tempers have been flaring, I don't like that. We all need a good sleep that is for sure. The sickies need to leave.

* Katelynn knows that her full name now, she will say, "I Kateynn Murry Mo" which translates to Katelynn Marie Moore.

* We always growl at the kids with their stuffed animals. Mark brought our hippo Irene up to me and started growling at me. Loved it.

* Katelynn loves to doodle now. Santa and Mommy and Daddy have given her many little books to draw in and she loves it. These usually keep her occupied all of Sacrament meeting too. These are pictures of all of her friends and family including, Mommy, Daddy, Katelynn, Mark, Jesse, Max, Brynne and Angelica (our babysitter across the street.)


*When we use the blender we all yell along with it. Mark starts us out and we copy him. It isn't a loud scream just a continuous "aaaaahhhhhh" I think Daddy started the whole tradition we've just keep it up.

* When we vacuum or mop we always chase the kids' feet and try and "Get Them" Katelynn has done it for a while and Mark started when he could walk. The kids get all excited when I start the vacuum and we chase each other around the room.

* Grandma B gave Katelynn a Cabbage Patch Doll for Christmas. Katelynn and Ben were playing with the doll one day this week and because of the dolls curly hair he called her Grandma Mary and the name has stuck. Ben is the only one that can bring Grandma Mary alive he has a southern accent that he uses when he plays with Grandma Mary and if I try and do the same thing Katelynn doesn't play along and gets upset.


* Mark started babbling more this week, Yay!

* Our freezer wasn't cooling on Friday night, the ice cream was soup, and we can't get anyone out to fix it until Monday. We put our food out in the garage since it was cooler out there than in the fridge. Bonus: the fridge and freezer are now clean.

* Katelynn has yet another cold! I hate colds and am glad she is out of nursery, she has gotten most of her colds there. If your kid is sick, even "Just a Little Sick" don't bring them to nursery! My kids catch everything!
