Silence

Silence frightens me............ Of course that is because I live with Darci and usually that means she is writing on walls, or digging through the sugar container. The other night I realized that I hadn't heard Darci for at least 15 minutes, so I went looking. At first I panicked because I was sure she had escaped outside because she wasn't in her normal hiding places. When I found her she was loved up to her big sister and quite proud of herself!

Final Hoorah!

The kids decided that maybe it was warm enough to play in the water on Saturday. I wasn't completely on board with this idea, I guess nights in the 30's just don't leave me very warm! They enjoyed themselves completely!

Little Moments

Okay, so I haven't updated things for awhile. I am just sitting here listening to my kids playing, enjoying themselves. I have really been trying to just enjoy being a mom once in awhile. I try to appreciate the "accidents" when Darci screams "Its too late", or just plain muddy footprints clear through my house. I think that I get too tied up in all the things that I need to do, some being cleaning up after them, that I forget how much I am blessed and how lucky I am to have 3 great kids!



Bryton - Okay she is a beautiful child who strives to excel in all she does, even when it comes to spending time on the couch! I am so proud of her for being responsible and being my helper. I watch her grow and becoming such a great young lady.



C.L. - Entertains himself without more than a penny. Of course we hope he keeps it to pennies, instead of quarters. He takes every day with zeal, Never missing a beat. As he spoke in church today I realize how much he has to teach me. When being asked what his favorite story of Jesus, he came up with the Garden of Gesthemane. How blessed am I to have such a strong spirited child.



Darci - Live life to the fullest! That is my girl, from dancing and singing on the stage during the primary program to running around the house in her panties, never a dull moment! I am celebrating the fact that we are in panties, and that she is "2". I often hear myself say that and then I have to remember that for being "2" she is a very energetic and full of life little girl. Taking her to work every day is taxing. I know that she gets so sick of me telling her to be quiet, and getting impatient with her because she needs to go potty in the middle of a file, but really she is a pretty good girl.



How grateful I am for what I have been given. I just hope that I can show them how much I love them. I know that I get caught up in work, remodeling the house, and all the many other things I find wrapping me into constant motion, but I do stop and remember just how lucky I am!

Forgive the lack of pictures.................my camera is taking a turn for the worse, hoping to find parts for it.

The State Fair!

Just have to love the state fair!!!!! I always enjoy a day at the fair. We met up with many of our friends from Arco there and spent the afternoon on the rides on Friday. C.L. was the odd man out and ended up on most of the rides by himself. I was so proud of him, he did really well at being independent even when he was nervous. Bryton pulled her dad on many of the rides with her. Needless to say Dad spent the next 3 days laid up with a strained achiles tendon. Of course he tried to blame it on me, saying I ran into him with the Wal-Mart cart.

Darci did really well at staying in her stroller. I decided not to put her on any rides because I felt like it would only cause more problems than help. We did let her go in the petting zoo and she absolutely loved it!!!! She really liked the big bird (the ostrich).

The Big Bucket!

We spent Labor Day weekend at our favorite vacation spot.......Lehi of course. Mitch and Adella allowed us to come and stay with them and increase the chaos in their home for a couple of days. We are so grateful that they put up with us. The kids spent a lot of time playing and of course we had a couple of sleepovers. So glad that Aunt Rachel has a Tanner, C.L. sure is outnumbered other wise.

On Saturday we made all the kiddos smile by taking them to the "Big Bucket" as it is referred to at my house. I just never seem to get many pictures because it takes too much to keep track of Darci. The two smallest Michael and Darci both loved every minute of the experience, slides, sprayers and all.

Thanks for the fun Pearsons and Bloxhams!!!!!
