I am cursed

Camera is broken since Garett dropped it and Preston hit it. Will be fixed in 2 to 3 weeks. Computer is broken because of something my dad did. My whole life he has blamed me for breaking things now look who really did break something. Anyways, computer is in shop and won't be ready for 3 to 5 weeks.

What does all this mean........ NO more pictures or post until I get them back. Prepare yourself because when I do get them back I will have a million posts (including Spencer 2 year birthday)

Thank goodness I always get extended warranties!

Lamb and the Lion shall lie down together

It is going to be a crazy summer for us. We will be here and there and everywhere. I've been planning that when Spencer turned 2, he and Preston will share a room. Well because of the crazy summer they will be forced to share a room most of the time so we have decided to move Spencer in a little early. It has been about 3 weeks now and they seem to be doing fine. Spencer still has to cry himself to sleep but He has been doing that since birth.

So we now have a guest room, prefect time for any visitors. Oh wait we are not going to be here. Sorry!

LA, LA, LAAAAAAAA

I remember reading blogs and talking to my friends and getting jealous whenever somebody would mention their child loved to sing and memorized all the primary/church songs. Preston never did that. He sings now and he know a ton of songs and will sing when you ask him to (except in front of everybody at church). However, if there is down time then he tells himself a story. 

Spencer however is the type of kid I was jealous of. He loves to sing! He know all of the primary songs (at least the ones that I know and sing to him). If he is playing by himself, then he is singing. He also makes his cars, stuff animals and markers sing. At night time when we are putting them to bed he picks out what song we are going to sing and always begs for one more (Preston begs for one more story- and they both always beg for more books). The only problem is that Spencer won't sing for you if you ask him- unless it is "Happy Birthday" which is his favorite song.

PS

Garett dropped the camera and then Preston hit it so it is in the shop. I have a spare but haven't gotten it out yet, sorry!

Happy Mother's Day to Me!!

I had a great Mother's day (if you don't count the complete and utter meltdown that Preston had which ended in him breaking our camera).

People may laugh but I don't care because I think that Mother's day is the greatest holiday besides St. Patrick's Day (so I should do more for my own mother but that is another subject).  About 4 years ago I was driving in the car with Garett, it was about a month or so before Mother's Day(the first one I would celebrate) and I told him in very plain English all that I expected and demanded for Mother's day. I didn't want there do be any mistakes or regrets or disappointments, so I just told him right out. And every one of my Mother's days have been perfect!!!!! 

And because boys are boys we are working on training the boys at a early age. Not only did they help with breakfast and dinner and helped pick out my presents but they also took corsages to some widows in the ward so they could wear them to church. They are studs! 

Sorry no pitures since camera is broken

'Thats Funny"

Lately my kids have been saying the funniest things and it just cracks me up. Of course I don't write it down and I forget. However, I do remember a few such as.......

-Preston went to a friends house and while he was there he learned how to play tag. When he came home he tried to play with his brother (who did not get it) but instead of saying "You're it" he says "Garett". I thought that was more cute then funny.

-When I put the boys to bed I usually review the day and tell them what we will be doing the next day. I was telling Preston that he and Spencer were going to go to a friends house and I was going to stay home so I could paint the kitchen. "Is daddy going to Luke's house?" "Nope just you and Spencer" then Preston quickly responded "but mommy we don't know how to drive how are we going to go to Luke's".

-Garett had the boys in his car and were taking them somewhere but first he had to pick up his friend Richard who he always gives a ride to school. During the winter he would kiss the boy goodbye and said he had to hurry cause Richard would be waiting outside and would freeze. Also during the winter I would tell the boys they couldn't go outside and play because they would turn into popsicles. So when Garett told Preston the other day that they were going to go pick up Richard, Preston said "hurry dad so he doesn't turn into a popsicle" (it was like 70 degrees) but before Garett could respond Spencer said "I'll eat him up".

-And lastly Spencer's response to just about everything is "Thats Funny". "Get your shoes on so we can go"...."That Funny".  "Be quiet so daddy can study"....."Thats Funny". Spencer you are Funny!!!

These are just a few things that they say that make me laugh. I will try to be better at writing down what they say.
