Awesome baby sitter

I've needed Ethan's help lately with the baby and have had him watch Tess while I'm making dinner or trying to hurry and finish something. He does pretty good for a little while (considering he's six). So tonight I ran into Johnny's office and had Ethan watch Tess in the car when I came back this is what I found.

Stupid door

Take a look at this picture. This is the reason why I think Clouseau lives on in my spirit. I was walking into the Legacy Center in Lehi the other day. I had ridden my scooter and I was in my workout clothes, and I made it through the outside doors just fine. However, as I was walking in between the outside and inside doors, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to check my sexy self out down at the end of the hall there in the reflective glass. As I was making sure I looked good, the door you see in this picture began shutting, as it is the handicapped door and shuts after it is opened with the button, and if you’ve noticed, it shuts hard. Anyway, I didn’t see it or hear it start shutting, and I walked straight into the skinny part of the door as it shut, and I was going at full speed. The door took the full brunt of the part of my forehead above my left eye, and I hit it so hard that it knocked my top teeth into my bottom teeth, and immediately left a goose egg. It staggered me pretty good, and a woman walking out had the audacity to ask me if I was OK? Of course I was OK, I was just checking out the wax on the floor! There are many types of wax! French wax, English wax, domestic wax…Peter Sellers must be chuckling if he saw that real-life Guy Gadois move. I’m a dork…

Blessing Day

We blessed Tess last Sunday and it was really special. Thanks so much for everybody who came and supported us. I forgot to take any pictures of everyone who came, but at least I remembered to take some of her that morning. Doesn't she look adorable?

A New Award

I don't know if there is an award for taking this many kids to the store, but there should be. After I loaded them all up I was laughing how they all had to be crammed in there, so I had to take a picture. I got a lot of funny looks in the store that day and people kept looking at my kids and counting them. I'm thinking I should make a shirt that says, "Yes, they're all mine".

Brand New

Well, I thought I would give blogging a try. So I'll just start with what's been going on with each of our kids.

Ethan just finished his first year of kindergarten. They had a big shakespeare festival a couple of weeks ago. His costume was pretty sad, it was a blanket and a lightsaber. He didn't mind he was just glad to not have to wear his uniform.

Porter just finished his 2nd year of preschool and can not wait to be in Kindergarten. We got his shots today and he told me he had to brave so that the Dr. would let him go to Kindergarten. He is on a soccer team and starts T-ball next week.

Bella also just finished preschool. She really loved her teacher but is excited to go to school with the boys next year. Bella is quite sassy and is always wearing something very unusual.

Joshua has to be the most curious/destructive baby I've ever seen. That kid is all over the place. He is so happy to be with the kids and loves to wrestle the boys.

Tess is 2 months old now. She's adorable and sleeping the nights, yeah!! She's smiles all the time and is happy as long as somebody is talking to her.
