Let the extermination begin!

So if someone could market a product called Monster be gone they'd be a millionaire. Our poor little Trace has a monster problem that I'm not sure how to fix. About 6 months back we got what I thought would be a cute little book about a boy who learns not to be afraid of the monsters in his house (Learn from my mistake). Not a great idea folks. Trace is now convinced that there is a monster in his closet and bless his heart it scares him to death. I tried buying some lavender scented air freshner and calling it monster spray. I thought it would make him feel empowered and maybe the scent would calm him. To bad we woke up to him soaked in airfreshner. Ahh what fun! Any ideas?

Crazy Kids!

What a weekend, all I have to say is that my kids keep my busy. Last night we heard Kenadee in the hall banging on something so I thought I'd check on her. Look what I found...Thats right folks, little miss Kena in a pile of formula. We keep a small can in the diaper bag for church and other such outings and she found it. It was all the way down the hall, in her hair, in the diaper bag, and oh did I mention she was eating it! YUCKY is all I have to say.

Then there are the things that they say. Tonight Trace was thanking my for breakfast. I thought to myself that this would be an awesome learning oppurtunity so we had a little talk about how we eat breakfast in the morning when its light outside, and dinner at night when its dark outside.

"So Trace it's dark outside, what are you eating?"

"Umm, Corn???"

What a turkey!

I did it!

So it is official, I wrote a paper and got a passing grade. I've been so nervous to write my first paper because it has been a little over 3 years since I last wrote one. But I wrote and it passed. Yay me!

Bring out the Pictures

It's been a while since I'd posted pictures, so here they come!

The People's Prophet!

So what do you write about a man like President Hinckley? So much comes to mind that I think it would be nearly impossible to put it all down. He is the first prophet that I remember. He was was a wonderful man and was so full of wit and humor. And then there was his spirit. You could feel it emanating from him, even when watching him on TV in the next state over. What an amazing man and a true prophet of God!

Out of the mouth of babes!

Trace has been saying prayer and has started to inject little bits of his own. For instance, last night when I said "Bless the Prophet" he added, "and the Bishop too". Very cute. Well tonight he did it again and it was hilarious. I said, "Bless the missionaries to find people to teach." and he added, "and Spiderman too!" What a cutie!

One down and 25 to go.

Well it is official, I finished my first class this week. I went Tuesday night to take my final test for my Enlish lit class. It went really well and I passed with flying colors. It was amazing and it feels great to be back in school. Cory also finished his first class this week. His was a bit more intense then mine. We're pluggin right along and I think we'll be able to finish up about the same time. Woo Hoo for two college graduates in our home!
