We'll Tell You Tomorrow

Catelyn, Landon, and Jocelyn,

Sorry gang, but this is information everyone else is aware of, except you! Someday when you are older maybe you will understand.

I can't bring myself to telling you that we are having our little baby on Wednesday! I am so glad there is an end in sight, and though you are eager to know when our baby is coming I can't tell you until the day before. Tomorrow.

You don't handle anxiety and excitement well. You get to giddy, and you tend to cry about everything little until the storm hits. The Christmas build up was excruciating for you!

Plus, Janelle and Ryan, AND Lucky are coming, and that will be even harder for you to handle.

Cate-- you are grasping the concept of time really well these days, but you still hate a countdown. Being invited to a birthday party a week in advance is near torture.

Landon--Sweetheart, you have asked me the most about when our baby is coming, telling me all the time "I just want our baby out". Me too buddy. You haven't got a clue yet as to time and what it means when I say in 10 minutes, let alone two days.

And Jocelyn-- Baby, you aren't going to be the baby anymore and somehow you know and sense this. Your temper is out of control these days. I am trying my best to help you, but WOW! Curls, it's going to be fine. You are going to LOVE having a baby around. You might feel like you are getting shafted and put at the bottom of a totum pole, but you aren't.

You three are very important to us, and we have chosen to add each one of you to our family. You weren't mistakes or just something to do. You were decisions we made and people we created. The Lord always intended to add your spirits to our family, as well as this new baby we are welcoming. We are grateful for each one of you and hold a very special place in our hearts. Promise.

I hope over the next few weeks you will know of our deep love for you, despite all the attention B is about to get from family, friends, and me. A new baby takes up a lot of a mom's time and energy. But don't worry. We will be playing outside, at Rigby Lake, and more soon enough. Okay??

Love,
Mom

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!

Happy Birthday Catelyn!!!     Yesterday was you last day as a 6 year old.  Here we go for 7!!! I have picked out a few photos that I love of you, Catelyn, and hope that you know how special you are as you look at this post.   You truly are a Daughter of God and are so beautiful.   We are so glad you are a part of our family! *You love to play outside. *You like math, have struggled with reading, and love recess. *You stood with Amanda in that wedding line for 45 minutes.   *You are a girly girl.  Lipstick, makeup, nail polish and perfume make you happy. *You yell a lot.  We are working on an inside voice. * You seem to want to stop sucking your thumb.  *You love the computer. *You love to shop. *You have one year to be ready for your baptism! *When you fall asleep, you are out like a light! *You love your teacher, Ms. Bair. *You need a bigger bike. *You enjoy watching Phineas and Ferb. *You draw people really well, and ...

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Catelyn--The Birthday Girl!

She knew.  I told her that she was getting a dress for her 8th birthday.  We tried some on, and fell in LOVE with the one we ended up surprising her with!  Doesn't she look too grown up?   I teared up as I watched 12 more years flash before my eyes as I saw her in this mini-wedding dress.  But it was the one for her.  We knew it. With Grandpa Dean's passing, we received special permission {which Kyle didn't like to have to ask for, because in the church handbook, it specifically says "Members should not ask for special permission to baptize their children. . .blah, blah blah....*Oh!! not that I am making fun of the handbook.  I just don't what it says exactly* I argued back that this was a rare exception, and we should at least ask. {Also, not as rare as I thought-- as I found out Friday night -March 18- that the family who had a viewing going at the same time as ours, at Coltrin's, had a baptism and a funeral in the same day as well! ...
