Silly Boys

Just a few funny things the kids have done before I forget:


* Yesterday we were driving to soccer lessons and Mason said "mom? If you are really really good today, maybe tomorrow I will take you to Jumping Jacks. But you have to be really good and obey me. And you'll have to drive. And help us take off our shoes. And help us climb the slides. And pay them money. But only if you are really really good today."
* I was complaining to my sister yesterday morning that I was worried that Myles wasn't saying enough words for his age. Just a few hours later we were driving to the grocery store and Myles said clear as a bell "Mama, I want Grandma Delta". It was so cute. All day I was noticing how many words he actually does say and was really surprised.
* This morning I was doing flashcard letters with Mason and we were saying what words start with the letters. Some examples he gave:
O--"like when I tell you something and you don't understand and I keep telling you and then you say O"
K--"like when I ask if I can do sidewalk chalk and you say I have to wait until it is light outside and I say K"
A--"like when I'm doing something naugty and you say AAAAA" (I think he means "hey")
* I'm presenting at a conference in a few weeks with someone I work with, and she came over last night after the kids were in bed to work on the presentation. About 10 minutes after she arrived we heard a little voice call down "mommy, does your friend want to come say hi to me?"

* And finally, the cheapest entertainment ever:



They propped up a big box on the tool box and used it as a slide. The kept them entertained for at least an hour. They just took turns and hten helped each other fix it when it fell.

Wow.... I saw this video today, didn't think anything in the world would make me laugh harder. (Check it out! A Mormon actor teams up w/Mr. T!!)

But I was wrong! Tell Mason he wins the prize today of making me laugh the most. What a funny kid he is.

We're Coming Home!!!

I'm not posting "before" pictures because they are a little too scary, but this is a pretty good "after" picture if you ask me! Mason had another amazing night. Yesterday he wouldn't stand on his own (we think because of all the bruising, pulled groin muscle, swollen foot) but he slept really well all night (and kept his oxygen levels up without help) and this morning he woke up with a lot more energy. He ate 3 little boxes of fruit loops, 2 containers of milk, and is working on a muffin now. He's gone potty by himself, and walked back and forth to the playroom down the hall two or three times. He seems completely back and in the playroom used potato heads to re-enact a scene from Toy Story 2. The pediatrician just came in and told us that he feels good about going home as long as we follow-up with our pediatrician by Wednesday morning at the latest to get the stitches out, re-write prescriptions (can't fill Canadian ones in US), and decide where ...

Quick Update

First of all, thanks for all the prayers we know are received. I'm going to make this update quick and dirty since I have a hard time thinking about it and I want to get back to Mason. I also don't know if every detail is completely accurate but this is the way I understand it. Yesterday afternoon my dad and Marshall took the two boys hiking at Boundary Bay in Waterton . It is a short flat trail that you access through a boat ride and goes for a mile or so and crosses over a creek. They were hiking along and when they got close to the creek the boys stopped and Mason held my dad's hand while Myles held Marshall's. My dad and Mason were in front and to get onto the bridge (just two cut logs with a hand rail on one side) you have to step on a rock. Mason and my dad both stepped on the rock and Mason was so excited to see the water that he jumped up onto the bridge. He slipped, causing my dad to loose his balance and Mason spun around causing my dad to loose the grip on hi...

Need Advice & Suggestions

Image
Okay, I know I have so many friends and family members who are incredibly great decorators and have a much better eye for this stuff than me, so I am calling on you to help me. When we moved into our house over a year ago, I knew the main floor needed painting. I even got quotes from painters. But when it came down to it I didn't trust myself enough to pick paint colors and spent the money on furniture instead. Well, now I'm ready to paint again and have some colors in mind but really want opinions and/or suggestions. Basically the main floor is about 1800 square feet. There is an entrance which crazy high ceilings, then off of that a living room on one side and a dining room on the other. Ahead to the right there is a bathroom and my office, and to the left a hallway and then the kitchen/family room. They are all Restoration Hardware colors that I will have matched with Benjamin Moore paint. These swatches probably aren't all that accurate, but some of you might be familia...
