Addictive laughter

Tonight Blake was being a little snot! Yes, a snot! He was so sassy and naughty! We were playing a game that Camryn created all by her cute little self and Blake was not nice. I gave him several warnings that I would put him in his room and he just taunted me! So, I put him in his room and he cried and cried and I tried to calm him down with his favorite song, Give Said the Little Stream. He started getting really tired and his eyes were locked on mine and I couldn't help but smile and then he smiled and then we both started laughing and laughing like crazy! I love that little guy!

A phone call in the middle of the night!

We are so blessed to have such great neighbors. Early this a.m. around 3:45 our phone rang and like anyone would react at receiving a middle of the night call I immediately thought the worst. Who could this be and what is happening and if it is the wrong # I might not be so nice! It turned out to be our wonderful neighbor Scott who was leaving for his job ( yes that early) and he noticed that there was someone under Mikes brand new Chevy Diesel Truck! He was trying to steal the Catalit (sp)Converter! Turns out they are worth around $5000. bucks! (Mike called a client today and told them what had happened to his Demo truck and they said they had 10 stolen off of the trucks on their lot!) Mike jumps out of bed, grabs the gun and goes out the front door in his underwear and yells "FREEZE" Scott said ,"it's me Mike don't shoot!" The guy ran away and Scott had called the Sheriffs. I decided that Mike needed a pair of PJ pants because he couldn't be in just his underwear in front of the law! As a thoughtful wife would do Igrabbed the pants (still half asleep) as I stepped downstairs I totally SLIPPED and fell 6 or 7 steps burning the back of my ankle as in there is no skin there! To make it worse, I landed on my good hip and now have a lovely bruise the size of a softball on my right derriere! I am in some fine shape!!!! We are so thankful for the blessing of a wonderful neighbor!
Thanks Scott!

Edit: apparently I failed to mention that the loser didn't get the part off of Mike's truck!

No more Den Leading

Mike and I are no longer Den leaders. Yeah, but kinda sad too. I miss the boys coming every week to my house. But, whenever you are done with one calling (it's a "job" at church) another always follows. So I am now the 1st counselor in the Young Womens Organization. I am so excited! We had our first class together last Sunday and it was AWESOME! I love it already. Tonight we had a fun activity where we met at Cold Stone for their charity event and we all got ice cream and just hung out outside while catching up with the girls. The weather was absolutely perfect for it!

Anniversay Pictures

Sunday morning.

This was Saturday night....

Here are some pics from our Anniversary night out and the next morning (sunday)which was our actual anniversary. Mike hates the pictures of himself but there are a few of you out there that asked to see pictures...so here they are. Thanks to our babysitter for taking them on our date night and thanks to Jeff for taking them Sunday morning. Can you tell who the morning person is?? (and not by choice...wish I could relax in bed too)

What the heck?

Is going on in the financial world???? My stomach was sick as I watched the Evening News on NBC. Mike and I sat there glued to the screen shushing the children as we hung onto every word they were saying. 3 out of 5 of the largest financial institutions in America are GONE! That means something! Also our hearts go out to those in Texas. Such disaster is so so sad. I don't know what I would do if I were in there position except pray.
