I Love you, I really really do!

So, yes I am just posting something Conner said - again. But this a great way for me to document it and you might enjoy it too. Madey took Conner outside to try out a new bubble blower with a giant wand(it sort of resembles a magic wand). As the giant bubbles got carried upwards with the ever present Idaho Falls wind, he said "The magic bubbles are going to heaven." Madey said "Yes." Very thoughtfully Conner said "I want to go to heaven." Madey said "Why?" and he said "Jesus Christ lives there, I want to live with Jesus Christ." Later when we were telling his dad this story in the car he said it again and he asked me if I wanted to live in heaven with Jesus Christ (he always says His full name) and I said "Yes I would like to, some day and I would like to live in heaven with Madey, Emmett, Conner and Cory." He said "you would?! why?"
"Because I love you," I said and he said "You do??" in his shocked little voice! He sounded so suprised. "You love all of us??" So I guess you can say it a million times a day and there still might that moment when they are suprised by it. I Love you Conner, I really really do!!!

"Old Lady"

So I know it's been a really long time since I posted anything, so today I am going to blog just to blog. I don't even have any pictures to include. So you just get my ramblings. Today Conner got really mad at me (as he does every day) and as he walked away he said "You... You... Old Lady!" Cory and I looked at each other and said "What the ...?" I tried so hard not to laugh but he heard me and now he's been saying it all day. I don't even know where he heard it. He usually tells me "You not a boss" (since he always says "a" instead of "the") or "I'm going to spank your butt Mama!" I am glad he's finally got new material.

Grandma's, We wish we could see them everday!

Madey Emmett and Conner spending a little time with Grandma over Christmas. Emmett is the one who loves puzzles and is very good at them. Conner just has to be involved in everything. Don't ever try to leave him out!! Madey and Emmett are wearing the pj's I made them for Christmas Eve. Don't look too close, Madey's sleeve is all ready coming out! Looks like I need more help, Mom.
I wish the kids could spend more time with their Grandparents. I remember spending half my life at my Grandma Phyllis'. I learned soo much from her and my Aunt Marilyn. I guess we just have to soak in all the memories when we are there. That's why I love how both Grandparents try to spend quality time with them when we are in Utah! We love you all!

Christmas Extras

My Snow Girl!

Madey LOVES the snow and wants to live outside in her snow pants. Even better if she could hang out in Taylor's snow fort all day! She got to try Snow Boarding at Kelly Canyon two weeks ago and had the time of her life. They went up on a bus full of 4th, 5th and 6th graders. She had a one hour lesson and then got to try it out on her own with her friends. She said they snowboarded all the way to the lodge, where she ate a dinner of nachos and doritos(so healthy!!). Oh and a hot chocolate that a boy bought her!!
I love Madey's zest for the outdoors. She is always the one to get the neighborhood kids outside playing in the snow or mud. She will push or pull the kids in a sled, wagon, stroller or whatever she can find in the garage.

Cutest Smile in Town

Emmett spent all day Sunday trying to pull out his front tooth. His Dad finally got it out and now I smile every time he talks. It's so stinkin cute!! He is so excited for himself and he wants to pull out the other front one (also very loose) just so he can "get more money."
