Speaking Larsen

This is one of the last times they will get to bathe together....Cate's getting to big, but worse yet, it's a full out splash park for them and too much water ends up on the floor.  But they were being so funny and cute, I had to bust out the camera!



We have had blizzard conditions over the last two days---Saturday and Sunday, and despite the freezing temputures, they still wanted to play outside.  Landon was otu there for 2 1/2 hours!  Jocelyn made it 30 minutes.  Good thing our neighbor Gabe wanted to play in the snow as much and for as long as Landon!





Then for family home evening on Monday night we wrote thank you letters to people we care about and Landon wrote his to Parker.  He insisted on Tuesday morning, with winds up to 40 miles an hour, I swear, insisted he go deliver his.  I tried for hours to convince him to wait...but he insisted.  He truly is grateful for Parker, I guess.


And to not be outdone, yesterday, Cate had her own little read-a-thon going on.  She seriously had her face in her book for a good portion of the day!  Then I found this post it note on my fridge.  When I laughed, she wanted to know what was so funny!  I asked her where she got such an idea, and she said, "Well you had a list with lots of books on it by the computer and I wanted one too." {Which is entirely true, as I wanted to blog about books I had read...}

Like Mother like Daughter.  I guess.

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.

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 ...

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
