Right Now 9

* Mark somehow managed to lock himself into our bathroom this week. I don't think he could have twisted the lock himself but it happened and I had to dismantle the door knob to get him out since I couldn't get the "key" to work in the pinhole thing. No harm was done and he didn't go fishing in the toilet while he was in there.

* Mark knows where his ears, nose, mouth, and belly button are. He puts his fingers in both of his ears when you ask where they are, and will blow his nose with that question, For his mouth he will stick out his tongue and then put his fingers in his mouth and will giggle and pull up his shirt to find his belly button.

* Whenever I put a show on for the kids and am sitting to watch it with them Mark will run to where I am sitting and want to sit with me. I just happened to catch him making a silly face here. It lasts about 10 - 15 minutes then he is off checking other stuff out.


* You found the Cape that Grandma B made you today. You would wear it for longer periods of time if it was facing forward like a bib rather than a cape.


* Katelynn is my strong willed, high energy little thing and we are working on figuring out things to make a positive impact on her.

* We had a home teacher over tonight and of course the whole thing of "Company is here so I am going to act like a crazy Animal" happened with you two. As we were getting ready to say a prayer Katelynn pulled out the play guitar and started rocking out on it and Mark started dancing to the music. It was pretty darn hilarious. I hope that they do it again so I can get a video of it, but it probably won't.

* Tonight at dinner Katelynn said to me, "You're not at bad mommy, you're a good mommy." SWEET!

* Watching Pride and Prejudice while Scrapbooking after a nice day with the kids = Happiness.

* For Valentines Day we had a lovely dinner with Uncle Kevin, Aunt Beth and their kids at our house. I gave      Ben the Game Lego Lord of the Rings for the Wii and he gave me a gift Card to use for Scrapbooking stuff. Woo-Hoo!

* We took Katelynn and Mark plus Brynne and Tara to the Temple on Friday, just to visit. Katelynn and Mark had never been there before and so it was nice to go as a family. We then went out to lunch and to Bear Park.

* For our Valentine's day Dinner we went the day after to Tokyo Steakhouse for Teppanyaki. So much good food! We then visited Nate and Emelie with their sweet daughter Madeline, who didn't even peep the whole time we were there.

Right Now 7

* I love to feed Mark. Especially his Cheerios in the morning. I let him feed himself for a little bit while I am eating and then I will give him spoonfuls of the Cheerios and his mouth is open so wide like a little birdie. I love it and it makes me smile every morning.

* Mark loves to eat Graham Crackers. I got a new box while we we shopping at Costco this week and had to open it there since both Katelynn and Mark were wanting a snack. Mark continued to help him self to the crackers throughout the store and when I looked at his face when we were at checkout he was a complete mess. I had just washed his jacket the day before.


* Katelynn has been so excited to watch "Peter Pan" and see the pirates and pixie dust. We watched it Wednesday night and before she went to bed she was talking about Peter coming in the window and playing with her and taking her to Neverland and meeting Tinker Bell. I told her that Peter may come while she is sleeping. (She also asked is Santa was going to come and leave her presents too, um, not for a few more months dear). Thursday morning she startled me by coming over to my side of the bed while I was laying in bed and the first words out of her mouth were, "Mommy, did Peter Pan come?" After I composed myself, since she really did scare me, I said, "Maybe honey, but when we were sleeping."

* I died laughing looking at this picture. That has to be Marky's little hand! (It isn't, but still so totally hilarious!)


* Ben and I have also decided that Micheal on Peter Pan is Marky. They have so many mannerisms that are the same and they both are so adorable.


* Thursday was Katelynn's first Gymnastics class. We all survived and I am sure that the teacher is glad class is only 45 minutes. I am glad that I am putting Katelynn in some class type situations to help her learn that she has to listen to directions and be the good little girl that I know she is.

* Katelynn has a few people that she "Calls" on her play phones. Grandma B, Grandma Mary, Angelica, and Aunt Becca. Tonight when he called Aunt Becca she told her she made a sandwich for her. When she hung up she wanted to take it to her, it was a play sandwich, Aunt Becca lives in Idaho... a little difficult.

*We have been getting ready for our Disney/Eden's Baptisim/Mason's Blessing Trip and Ben has been playing this song the past couple days to get himself ready for it. "Dizz Knee Land" by Dada The Music video isn't good, but the lyrics are funny. Ben added the phrase, I got married and had two kids, I'm going to Disneyland.

* Our vacation was very nice in my opinion. The kids weren't completely crazy just average crazy. I'll post a whole lot more about the trip with pics and all that jazz as soon as I can.

* Legos, Legos and more Legos, we love legos in this house.

* I made some chocolate chip cookies for Primary and added an oreo in the middle and they tasted
pretty darn good. Here.



* Isn't this little man the cutest thing ever! Oh I just Love him.
