Trent must have been learning to write persuasive letters at school . . . here is what he brought home:

2. it's fun
3. it's lowd
4. it's soemtimes snows or raining out sid That's why you should let me dribble in the house.
Frum: Trenton

Thomas

A big thank you to Aunt Jen for letting us borrow some Thomas toys!!! Blake rearranged his crib to fit the ride on Thomas!!!

Another Homemade Hoop

I have decided we need a hoop!!

Becker Business

**Uncle Paul came to Trent's b-ball game Saturday. They had a talk about how Paul got better at b-ball when he was younger and they dribbled together. That night I called Trent in the house at 6:10pm to eat and be done, he said, "Do you think Uncle Paul ever had to come in early from practicing?" Later he told me, "Mom at school when my friends want to play games at recess, I am just going to have to tell them that I have to practice like my uncle!"

**Trent picks up Lydia, "You are the cutest girl ever and Blake is the cutest boy ever!"

**Sarah Eggleston delivered an invitation to her sister's wedding. I said, "Oh Yvette is getting married March 9." Grant, "Is she going to take care of sick animals at her wedding?" Oh a Vet!

**I made some smoothies the kids had to drink (not good ones, spinach, apples, etc.) Sat down by Blake to feed Lydia. "Mom, that your smoodie?" "Yes it is!" Picks his up, "cheers!"

**When Grant gets married he only wants to kiss her on the cheek!!!

**I was walking toward the hallway and there was Blake rope swinging!! I almost died! First of all he was in jeans, this little body gripping so tight up in the air!! He did it 3 times . . . I wanted a picture but his strength was gone, he was dragging!!

Hoop

Notice the bucket with no bottom hanging from the tree? We need a b-ball hoop!!

Sledding

President's Day we went to Strawberry Reservoir! We took the snowmobiles and a lot food. The kids were driven to the top of the hill and loved sledding down!! Lydia stayed nice and warm in Daddy's heated trailer!!! The Burrs took their machines, Wooden took his machine, a lot of Jared's family was there and the Johnson's came!! We had a wonderful time and I have no pictures!! When I left the trailer, I realized, Wow it is cold out here!!!!

Foxy Roxy

Roxy was born today! We don't know which one she is though!! I don't know who is more excited . . Josh or the kids!!!

Snowman

Once there was a snowman, who loved winter and went to Bear Lake for the weekend!! The only way to melt him would be to take away his snowmobile!! Which we will never do!!!


Johnny, Child, Josh, Jason, Drage, Jeremy

Toilet Water

Getting ready to leave the house, Grant SCREAMING for me from the bathroom! (I mean screaming!) I run in, he is crying! "My hand was in the toilet water, help me mom!" Wet shoes on a tile floor - - he slipped!! (There was tinkle in the toilet - - poor guy!)

Scans

Light's Out

Met Grandma, Grandpa, Talls and Simmons at Pizza Pie Cafe! Went to Jill's after to play for an hour! Bad storm, really hard to see driving home. Blake and Lydia were hysterical! No signal lights or Smith's lights at the Alpine Highland Highway! My folks followed us home! No power at our house! I got in the front door, told myself not to be freaked out, lit a few candles and headed back to the car! My mom went in through the front door, manually opened the garage door and we pulled in. Took the kids to my bedroom . . . Trent and Grandma went downstairs to get books and jammies! (Thank you mom, I did not want to go down there!) Said bye to Grandma and Grandpa because they were flying out Thursday morning at 6am. On Josh's way home from school later that night Alpine Highland Highway was closed . . . Thanksgiving Point lights out and Traverse Mountain!

Teeth

Grant came home and told me, "This guy hates sugar!" (with a big old sucker hanging out of his mouth)

About Blake

***Blake hit his head on the cabinet and Grant started to laugh because Blake was making such a funny face. Blake yelled, "It's not laughing day Grant!"

***I have a really short haircut, Raschelle said it was hard to even out my hair with all my new growth. I was very concerned about my hair and Blake said, "It looks normal mom!" The way he said normal was so cute. So I asked again later what he thought of my hair. He said, "Buful!"

***At Miss Tanya's party they made door hangers. Blake showed me his and said, "It's for my doornog. No it's not a doornog. But I want to call it a doornog!"

***Blake loves to sing loudly, "Scripture Power, Scripture Power, Scripture Power etc." I love it because he goes on and on and on, it is on key just repeated!!

***Blake also says, "One two buckle my shoe, pick up the sticks."

***When Blake gets hurt I ask if he is ok, this is his response, "Um no I am hurt, I need help mom, I need you mom."

Lids

Trent put this hat on Lydia!

Love Day

So Grant asked me the other day if stores lower their prices because of "Love Day?" I was cracking up . . . no they probably raise their prices! He said, "That is not very nice when its all about love."

After school!

Around 4pm we headed to Texas Roadhouse to meet Grandpa Eric and Grandma Laura! It was Grandma Laura's birthday! When we arrived Lydia threw up in her car seat! She slept through dinner laying on dad's chest. Blake had a melt down then fell asleep on me. After dinner we got them loaded into the car. A car brushed Eric and almost hit Grandma Laura in the parking lot. Eric's jerk reaction was to hit the car and he knocked the side mirror off. Laura hit the hood with her fist and also JUMPED out of the way. The guy got out mad and Eric said, "You hit me dude! And you almost ran over my mother!"

We went to see Yogi Bear at the Water Gardens Theater. Lydia threw up on the way so I had to undress her and wrap her in the car army blanket! Threw up again in the theater. Trent and Grant laughed a lot in the movie! Lydia threw up on the way home too. Popped her in the shower with Dad, got out and threw up once more! She slept the whole night . . I was amazed!! (And thrilled, much better than throwing up the whole night!)

Luke and Valentine's

Luke was blessed today!! Precious little guy looked adorable!!
