The Negotiator


McKay so didn't want to do the Dance Festival this year. He didn't like the dance, at all. He and his friend were wanting to go to Walkers. Yes, the gas station, because apparently there is so much to do there. I had told them "NO WAY! It's your last year. You'll feel bad if you don't do it." His friends parents told him he could, so it was just McKay. He got home, showered, put on his cologne, suit, placed a pen in his pocket and wrote a paper on 20 good reasons about letting your son go. Some of my favorites were: "Fifth tomorrow is not an educational day, and will not learn anything." "seventh is that I will try out singing lessons, and do the chorus at the jr. high next year." "Eighth will have a good attitude for the rest of the month and including during practice" "My twelfth reason is that I will do the lawn with a good attitude of course." "And fifteen you ate half of my hundred grand" At the end it had two lines; one for "You'r signature" and "My signature". I had him show me the "Dance as exhibit "A" so I could make a better judgement. ;) In the end I thought "My dad would be so proud of him". So I told him yes, but he better call Garrett to make sure before he signed it. Once it was signed it was put into place. Garrett was sick! For real sick! He came home with the flu. So McKay had a choice. Did he want to just stay home alone, or go. He...

Here's Exhibit "A"

Phone Import

I don't always have my camera. Those day's are long past. However, I do always have my phone so those fabulous "in the moment" memories are not lost. Here are some of my favorites:
These were gifts from Christmas, I know so long ago. But I loved them, the yarn is so different between the two, but both are so soft and wonderful to knit with. I loved the way they turned out.Josie. And yes, I let her go to school like that. When she was younger I had a sign I'd put on her back that said "I did it myself today". Since then I have embraced and love her individuality. I figure she'll be the next Oilily designer. McKay and Abby last week, were lunch servers together! They had so much fun together!Notice the piles of laundry. This is taken a couple of weeks ago after finishing my laundry day. This is after a week. The two large piles in the middle? They are Josie's, Yes she goes through several outfits a day, but it's still more then what I can ever figure out. Last week she had 12 pajamas! How?!

Can it be?!

This little guy had a very special night last night.
He graduated from PRESCHOOL! My little guy & I have searched on the web, went to our favorite science store in Orem for a potion to help him to stop growing. We haven't found anything yet, but we are determined to find something soon!
Yes this is what Gabe and Kimball did the entire time. Notice the arm (his moms who is most amazing teacher) with a quick grab to separate them. We have had so many blessing from this wonderful preschool. My aunt recommended it two years ago when we were going to go to Quail Run. Quail didn't quite work for us but this preschool was just where we were suppose to be. Kimball and Gabe have become so close. They are very similar, and both fantastic kids, love to have fun, and they are both the babies.


Ms. Barbara has been AMAZING! I don't know anyone else who would have been so good to my little allergy boy. She has truly blessed our lives.
