Mother's Day

Tyler spoke at church today. Makenzie started throwing up at 6:30 am, which caused me and the boys to stay home with her. I was really sad to not have heard Tyler's talk. The day ended up being a good one though. This just proves it.....
This is how Tyler found us when he came home from church. To my kids that never nap-- that was the best Mother's Day gift ever! I was able to enjoy some good one-on-one time with all my kiddos. They are my everything! I'm grateful for being a mama!

I interviewed the two older kids with random questions about a month ago just to see what they would say. I learned a few things from it. Here are there answers word-for-word and a little update on each. Enjoy!

Makenzie got some new shoes and I decided it was time for her to learn how to tie them herself. She caught on real quick and was tying them within 10 minutes. Makenzie's reading is astounding for a kindergartner. Her knowledge of the gospel is also astounding. She loves playing with friends. Makenzie loves Honey Bunches of Oats and could eat it for every meal. She is so loving and great helper and a great sister!

Jordan decided to try shaving with Daddy's razor. He cut his lip and it wouldn't stop bleeding and he wouldn't stop crying. A band-aid fixed everything. Don't you love his blue mustache? Jordan is such a cuddle bug and doesn't fail to mention that he loves me at least 20 times a day! He loves working out with his Dad and copies everything he does. Jordan learned how to ride his bike this last week, and he did so well! Whenever Jordan is concentrating on something, he usually curls his tongue and sticks it out. It is so funny! He loves to learn and wants to be just like his sister. He finally has been showing some love to his younger brother and they are becoming good playmates.

Gavin

I can't forget our little guy! He brings constant love and laughter to our home. He loves it outside. He also is content to play with any toy that has wheels. He continues to out-eat his siblings. We love our little fire-cracker!
