So I ‘m driving in the car chatting with girls. Sammie asks me how old she has to be to kissed. I wanted to say never, but I told her when she’s married. So then she asks me how old I was when I got married and the same about Warren.  I told her we were 21.  Then I said that when I was their age my dad  use to tell me that I had to be 35 before I could even date. Then with out missing a beat Abbie says, “35!! You would have to walk with a stick if you were that old!!”

I know, I know its about time, but here they are.

We went up to Primary Childrens today for Sammie’s check up and all went great. She is gaining the right amount of weight (I wish someone would tell me that). And her lungs sound clear. All the labs and chest x-rays will be back

in a week.

So last weekend we had a family BBQ to celebrate my sister-in-laws graduation form BYU and my dad’s birthday. And my brothers and I started remembering some of the games we played as kids. One of them was the Bag Game. We played it all the time with our cousins.

So we moved furniture out of the way, and began to play. We laughed at our selves until our sides and faces hurt. I will say that we did pretty darn good for being about 15 years older than the last time we played this game together.

But the next morning told a different story, my bum was killing me and I know one of my brothers had  shine splints. But with all the pain we caused ourselves it was worth the evening of fun and laughter with my brothers.

Check me out I just joined today.

My newest obsession, little girls hair bows. With all of my little cuties I should have learned how to do this years ago.

I feel that bathing suits should be banned. 5 kids and 4 c-sections, not so kind to the figure, even if you are on the thin side. I think I might have scared little Izzie for life, she joined me in the dressing room as I pulled and tucked myself  into a bathing suit.  I think I might invest in a wetsuit.

As we knelt down for family prayer last night, Warren asked Sammie to say the prayer. Just be fore she started he said, “Make sure you say lots of thank yous.” And as we bowed our heads I could feel what was coming…..

Dear Heavernly Father,

We thank thee for this day and for Jesus.

Thank you ,Thank  you ,Thank you, thank you ,thank you ,thank you, thank you.

Jesus Christ

Amen

Have you ever wish you could read your children’s minds in hopes that you might just be able to stop them from saying something that will cause you to want to slide under a table and die?

Well just today my sweet little Sammie and Izzie came with me to Kassie and Abbie’s class to help with the Valentine’s party at school and they were behaving them selves when Sammie opens her mouth, and not in her quite voice, says, “Oh mommy she has a big bum.”

And as she is speaking I realize where she’s going with her sentence and tried to stop her with out causing a scene. But to my humiliation out it came. And for thoughts of you who know how loud she speaks, stop laughing and join me under the table of embarrassment.

And although the other mom is larger than my self, I quickly and quietly explained to dear sweet Sammie that  when she talks about people like that it can hurt her feelings. Sammie seemed to understand and look like she felt bad. 

Okay you can go back to laughing know.
