My Little Doodle Head

I'm so in love with this kid! I still can't get over how much I want to squeeze Ashley to death. She is growing up so fast. All the mom's at Luke's bus stop keep commenting on how much she has grown since September. She is such a know-it-all. She loves to chase the boys around the house. She always wants to sit up on the stools at the counter all by herself. She enjoys reprimanding the boys when they are sitting in the time out chair.

I love this picture, she looks like Luke.

She is a girly girl. She love anything that resembles a purse. She always want to put on my lip gloss. Shoes, shoes, shoes... need I say more. She loves to have her hair done up nice! (She knows when she is pretty)

And just the other day, I heard her humming the Indiana Jones theme song. Quite the accomplishment if ya ask me.

Sharp Shooter

John was selected to take a firearms training class. His overall qualification score was second in the class out all the top shooters there. He also had to do a project containing something about firearms. He selected to do his power point on John Browning, who was a gun designer way back when. (and LDS, by the way). He received a whopping 98 on his project, which I think is pretty amazing. What can I say, my husband is the coolest!

As you can tell from the picture, Luke thinks his Daddy is the coolest too!

Such a random picture, John's old mission companion came from Finland to visit, Jorma and Lotta Nieminen. We stayed up late listening to old mission stories.

P.S. The princess balloon was one of their daughters, her and Luke watched Cinderella all weekend long. (his first girlfriend)

Second Coming

I had a dream about my sister a few nights ago. The dream made no sense at all of course, except for the fact that we were reunited and we hadn’t be together for a long time. It felt so good to see her again. When I woke up I didn’t remember the dream right away. Later during the day it came back to me in bits and pieces. Now I realize I am ready to be reunited with her. I miss not having her in my life.

So I was wondering if anyone had an educated guess as to when that time might be???

Why does it smell like something is Burning?

While I was working on getting the kids to bed, every time I walked into the boys room it smelled like there was a glue gun plugged in somewhere. So I checked all the outlets and couldn't find anything. I checked to make sure my glue gun was put away. I just figured maybe it was something burning outside. Then I kind of forgot about it. We brushed teeth, and when we came back in the room, the smell was stronger. I don't know why I didn't think to check their sconce night light sooner. Sure enough there was a ball stuck in there and it was beginning to smoke! Oh my gosh, what if my beautiful home had caught on fire!! That room would have gone up in flames if the ball had gotten stuck up there after I had put them to bed. I'm so grateful it didn't.

Scary Stuff!

Here is a video of Noah explaining the whole thing. He is so cute, and I'm glad he is not on a hospital bed with skin grafts on his face!!!
