Random Thoughts

This morning Mom C. came down to take the boys for the day...what a lifesaver!! They love spending anytime they can with her. Here they are waiting patiently for grandma to come get them. They were cracking me up this morning. I love when T&R read together. They usually take turns reading a book, handing it back and forth to each other.

This kid looks so big to me! I love his happy personality! He crawled in bed with me at 7 a.m. and was so proud of himself for sleeping in (usually he's up between 5:30-6 a.m.). I was so proud of him too!

In addition to taking the boys, Mom C. also brought me her "leftovers." The biggest smile crossed my face when she asked if I would eat these. Would I? We purchased these same peppermint truffles from Costco this Christmas and I single-handedly devoured the entire container! My brother, Bil, might have had five, Mike maybe had three, but I ate the rest. These truffles probably contribute to at least five pounds of my "baby weight." Anyway, it was the perfect gift for the lady who has had all her babies at least three weeks early and just hit her due date for the first time and is going a little crazy!! Thank you Mom C.!

I went for a walk today in hopes of helping this little girl along and I think I'm perfect birth control for all these single students at BYU! I'm roughly the size of a house and I've recently started some swelling. I walked by a window on campus and got a glimpse of myself and had to laugh... a little.

Lastly, on Sunday our pew at church was a little rowdy. I think most pews with children are active, but it's seemed like the last two weeks have been exceptional. Two weeks ago the boys were yelling, "Echo, echo, echo" as we were walking through the parking lot into the building. They always think this is fun to do at grandma and grandpa's because of the mountains, and sometimes it works in town because we're up against the mountains. Well, in the middle of Sacrament Meeting, Andrew decides to try it out in the chapel! I genuinely don't think he was trying to misbehave, he was just curious.

On Sunday night I asked Mike how we're going to manage with one more little one on the pew, let alone how Mike will manage by himself after I have the baby. He said it'll be payback for his time on the High Council while in NE. For some reason it makes me giggle thinking of him with all three boys at church by himself. It's something I've done a lot of, but it will be a new experience for him. I'm sure Mike will make it look like a piece of cake, that's his super-daddy style.
