Catelyn's Great Idea


On Landon's baptism day, Cate decided to reminisce, and
tried on her baptism dress- and it still fits!
  She's full of great ideas!  I checked out the first BBC book for her, Kristy's Great Idea, a while a go and she's now on the 4th book in the series.  She decided to start her own club!  It's a nail club, and they were so cute doing their own nails and talking and having treats.  It make me think and realize, SHE IS JUST LIKE ME! when she came to me to ask if she could start a club!  It was so cute and funny!

Now, the other cover, that one with the hunky life guard   I remember that book as being one of the first times I had a crush on a 'book cover model'.  Funny huh?  I mention it because the other day, Catelyn didn't want to watch a movie I had recorded and pre-viewed for the kids.  It's called Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker.

I told her "You might like, give it a try.  The boy in it is kinda cute, too."

Boy, what did I do!  She has mentioned to me about 157 times that "He is really cute, mom."

Now, if you don't know who played Alex Rider, I'll give you a hint.  His first name is really Alex. And he's too old for her now, but in her mind he's only 14. Still too old, and she's too young, but crushes start early.

Okay, fine, here's a photo of Alex "Rider" Pettyfer:





And he is cute, and I agreed with her, and moved on to how her day was at school.

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! ...
