"They Love Me"

Tonight, Sean helped me change Jake's diaper. He actually did a good job. He then hugged him and said, " I love my baby!" I think he would love to have a little addition to his family. Perhaps, we should get a fish! Although, you can't change a fish's diaper:( Oh well. Hopefully, he will still be excited in a few years:)



I can not tell you how many times I catch myself saying, "I need to write that down" when my kids say or do something funny. I'm really bad at blogging and journaling. Today, however, is very noteworthy! Grandma Thomas gave Sean and Jake an early Christmas present. It was Little People's Nativity Set. They LOVE it to say the least. Sean, of course, is obsessed with the animals and even kicked the poor baby Jesus out of the stable to put the animals in there! Anyway, today, there was a baby blessing at church; Sean looked at me all wonderously and said, "Is that baby Jesus?" Nope, kid, just another little baby. Then, when one of the men were passing the sacrament, Sean said, "Is that Jesus?" Nope, kid, just a man!

Walking home from a dinner with our peeps, he saw a group of older boys. He said, "Hey... Hey Guys......What's your name?" No reply. He said, "what chu doin'?" No reply. We just kept walking. He then said, "They love me!" Oh, to have his confidence!

I love this child! I can't believe he's three years old. He's still my baby!! I don't know what I'm doing 99.99 percent of the time but we seem to get through it. Sean is one tender-hearted, fun, loving child. I love that he says, "I wov you" a bazillion times a day. He is sweet like his dad! I love his periodic lisp, his obsession with hide and seek, and how everytime he prays he stops in the middle and says, "where are we going tomorrow?"

I WOV HIM

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I heart fall. I told Mike that our house looks like fall all throughout the year and during Fall, it looks like Autumn just threw up in it!

I love it! I don't like to decorate with scary Halloween decorations (hello, my child is afraid of Scooby doo, so of course, scary it out at our house:), but I love the leaves and pumpkins and such!

I had the kids gather leaves and I took pictures. I'm taking a photoshop class and am learning how to use it (it's tough!) Lucky for me, my instructor is in the "top 20" for knowledge of photoshop.....so he says! And, who the heck am I to disagree? At any rate, it's fun to not have to put the kids to bed every Thurs. night:)

Happy Fall to you and yours:)

My baby turns 3!

Sean turned three the other day. We've been celebrating all week. I absolutely adore this child. He's tidy, polite, funny, and just a pretty darn good kid!
We had fun opening presents, eating lots of treats, lunch with friends, eating more treats, having a little bday party, and we went to a little farm by our house (between Lehi and Saratoga) to ride a pony and visit the animals. Sean was in heaven. (but if you ask him what he got for his birthday, he will just say "candy")!

Top FIVE reasons I love Caitlin Barbara Thomas the First


A.K.A. My sister in law

1. She uses awesome words like, "perk," "whaher," and even better she yells them out the car window.....STAY ON YO SIDE
2. I have to love her, she will be my kid's mother someday......well......if Mike and I die......
3. She lets me borrow her clothes..es. All the time. When we all dressed up for the reception in Utah, she let me borrow her cute new pants!
4. She gives really really good gifts. The thoughful kind.
5. She'll tell ya anything about a movie, book, ending, etc. She'll make sure you really really want to know, though.

Basically. She's awesome!

Fruit Snacks

The other day we opened a box of fruit snacks. One was completely stuffed to capacity and another had only a few. I showed Mike and his first thought was, "I'd be ticked if I got jipped like that." And my thought, "They're probably poisoned." I ended up tasting both bags....just in case:)

p.s. we're ok. no food poison!
