The Good & Bad News

The good news is we finally sold our house in St. Louis. We have alot of great memories there and it will be greatly missed! Justin bought us this house on the three day trip that he had to visit his school. I had not seen it when he bought it, but he did a really great job and we put alot of work into it. We enjoyed all the fun things that there is to do in St. Louis including the zoo, Science Center, Magic House, Grant's Farm, Forest Park, Muny Plays and much more. We loved the area and our ward. We miss our friends and family that lived there. Justin's aunt and uncle and cousins who are about the greatest people you'll ever meet live there and we learned alot from them. I really miss St. Louis but we love it here too. It's kind of bitter sweet. We hope the new owners love it as much as we did.

Last week at the Scouting High Adventure camp Justin seperated a rib and it's sticking out of his chest. Ouch! Not quite the adventure he was hoping for, so now he can't live without these. We hope it heals quickly.

The Hoths said...: congrats on the sell. Tell Justin I'm sorry about his bad luck and that I hope he's not in too much pain and that he heals quickly? Is he still able to work? My sister in law has been seeing him for her carpal tunnel and she said that he's amazing and that it's feeling so much better. Sounds like I need to kick myself in the butt and make an appointment with him for my back...; 5:40 PM

Why I Blog

You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of these meaningful and significant things. Some of them may be funny. Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." ~President Gordon B. Hinckley

"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings."
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

WHAT"S THAT YOU SAID?

Me: "Ty what did you learn about in church today?"
Ty: "Transformers"
Me: "And what else"
Ty: "oh yeah I forgot, Transformers AND Chucky Cheese"

Ty: "You want to take a race."
Me: "Your really fast, how did you get so fast?"
Ty: "Well when your best friends a cheetah."

After Taycie's poop leaked all over me.
Ty: "That sure was funny to me mom, but probably not funny for you."

Ty: "You know that one guy, Jesus's brother."
Me: "You mean Satan."
Ty: (shaking his fists) "Yah, I'll teach him."

After Ty's little crush dropped off a thank you card. He shut the door and said.
"I want to kiss her, How can I kiss her so that nobody will see me?"

Me: "Ty, hold your horses."
Ty:"I can't, I took them to the mountains and let them go."

Me: "Ty, do you know why you were in time out?"
Ty: "Because my brain made me do it."

When Ty was supposed to be sitting in time out he was playing the piano instead.
Me: "Ty what are you doing? Your supposed to be sitting in the timeout chair."
Ty: "But I'm playing "broken heart" because nobody likes me."

Ty: "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up"
Me: "You can be whatever your set your mind to be."
Later that night
Ty: " I give up being an astrounant, I've been waiting all day and Jesus hasn't made me one yet."

Ty: "I want to go down stairs and play a video game with uncle Jeff."
Me: Jeff can't today he has a new baby so can't play."
Ty: "Babies ruin everything."

After Taycie was born she was laying in her cradle and I caught Ty whispering in her ear.
"I'm your big brother and I'm going to teach you how to crawl and walk and when your big like me we can go on adventures."
It was so sweet.

Jake has loved is baby sister ever since she was born. The morning after she got home from the hospital he walked in our room, patted her on the head and said, "She's so beautiful. Now he likes to greet her with "Hey girlus!" or "Hi sweetie"

When Taycie was cooing.
Me: "oh that is a big story."
Ty: "Babies can't talk."
Jake: "Yes she can, she speaks Spanish."

Jake was sitting on the porch with a statue of a little girl on a bench and I heard him talking. I asked him what he was doing.
Jake: She's my other sister, I talk to her but she can't talk back."

I asked Jake to go and get something for me.
Jake: "No problemo, coming right up."

Ty and I were sitting on the porch swing.
Me: "do you hear all the birds singing?"
Ty: "Yes, it's music to my ears!"
