A Few Random Thoughts

-I love the Disney channel show Phineas and Ferb so much that I may name my next child Phineas. The darn show makes me laugh so hard.

-I avoid driving in all instances, especially on the freeway. I have been like this through all of my driving career. This Saturday I am driving to California with three children, and then come March I will be driving to Iowa...YIKES!!

-Liam honestly thought Emma broke her leg today when she fell off a slide. He was full out crying and kept saying, "Emma can't stand up, she broke her leg!!" Who knew that kid had so much empathy?

-Emma is finally a potty pooper...yes you read correctly, not a party pooper, but a potty pooper. She would not go poop in the potty for a long time and finally she saw Liam going in the potty and decided that she could do that too. So for the last three days she has been a potty pooper.

-I think Fox is too chunky to be able to roll over. I don't think I could lift that type of weight if I were him. :D He still hasn't rolled over. I have a secret competition with Lisa's baby William. William has already rolled over...Come on Fox!! :) (and good job Little Will :) )

-I have never been to a chiropractor and my husband is going to school to be one...I think they are good. :)

-I miss trying to beat Tommy home from taking Liam to school everyday. For the record I won the most.

-I'm so excited to go to Disneyland this next week and see my kids faces. I don't care if I don't get to go on a single ride, I'm just excited to see them get the feeling that I always got when I went to Disneyland. It's the happiest place on earth you know ;) YAHOO!!

Davenport- a new Adventure

Here it is! Wonderful Davenport Iowa (I'm trying to be optimistic :) ) where we will be moving mid-March. And Yes, that is the Mississippi River. Davenport has a gigantic bridge going over it linking the city to the other "quad cities" (Bettendorf, Moline, West Moline, Davenport, and Rock Island...yes there are 5 cities in the "quad cities") I have had a difficult time preparing myself mentally for the move, but I think I'm getting closer to being prepared...I don't know that I will ever be fully prepared, but I'm getting closer.

It is about 1,260 miles between PG and Davenport, about 18-19 hours. But we are going to do it so Tony can go here

Palmer Chiropractic, and become and chiropractor. I'm so excited that Tony is going to school, not so excited that its half way across the country :) . The cool part is that the Nauvoo temple

will be the temple that we attend and we will be close to all the other historic church sites. Also we will be right by the John Deere tractor factory!! So Sierra will be excited.

It'll be a new adventure and we are excited, so if you are planning a trip back that way look us up and come visit!!

Giggling Fox

Fox -3 and a half months

A few weeks after Fox was born he would laugh or giggle when you played patty cake with him. Now he has progressed to this. Unfortunately I couldn't find Tony's phone fast enough to record it when Fox was really giggling hard (Tony had him really going) this is the tail end of it when Fox had just about had enough, but it's still so silly. :)


Sorry if the video isn't working!! If it doesn't just go to my facebook page. It works there. I can't seem to get it to work on here. :/

To Boot or not to Boot

I recieved a notice last week in Liam's "Wednesday folder" that said all of the children in his preschool class were being retested and that if they scored to high they would be "exited" out of the class to allow children who didn't score so high into the class. (Yes, they boot the smart ones to make way for the dumb ones.) I started having a little bit of a panic attack. I like my three hours everyday with only two kids. It's when I can go shopping and not feel like one of those crazy moms dragging around twenty kicking and screaming kids, and when I can give Emma extra attention. Plus, now that Liam goes to school he gets extra bored and crazy on his days off, like he's not quite sure what to do with himself. So for the past week I have dreaded today when I would get new if Liam was too smart to continue or too dumb and had to stay in. Either way I knew I wasn't going to like the news. I went and picked Liam up from school, grabbed his "Wednesday folder," and pulled out the green paper with the verdict on it. It said congratulations! Liam had learned all the curriculum that Pre-K requires. But that Liam could stay in the class, if it was my wish, because the class was not all the way full!! Yahoo!! Best of both worlds. I quickly X'd the "Yes, I would like my child to continue in this class" box, and shoved it back in his bag to take to school tomorrow. Liam is going to have enough change when we move to Iowa in a few months, thank goodness he got to stay in his class with all of his friends!! Yahoo!! :)
