From the mouth of Sawyer

This kid says the funniest things, EVERY day. So I decided to start a running list just so I can read them and laugh when I feel like wringing his cute little neck.

When he was tired he told me "I'm a little bit cozy in my eyes."

Yesterday I told the kids that Michael Jackson died by taking too much medicine. Today Sawyer informed me at a random moment that Jack (from Nightmare Before Christmas) died from taking too much medicine too.

Sawyer loves saying Hi and Bye to everyone, even strangers at the store. Today when the FedEx guy brought us a package, Sawyer held out his hands to take it from him, without saying a word. Then after I said bye and shut the door he says, "Mom, I don't want to say bye anymore. I'm done saying bye to everyone."

He keeps telling me that he's 3 now, so it's time to have his birthday. I guess turning a year older is just a decision to be made. And once you make it, then you can have your party.

The other day Sawyer got a spanking for something, can't remember what.  He put his hand in the way to block the spanking.  I ignored it.  Afterwards he said giggling, "You spanked my hand mom! So it didn't hurt me," more giggles.  Right now I am laughing, in the moment I was not. 

Sometimes when the kids whine or say bad things (anything using their mouth) I will flick it or slap their cheek lightly to send the message that what's coming out of their mouth is not appropriate.  When I slapped Sawyer's cheek for saying something he looked at me with a big smile and said, "Mom I'm happy! cuz you slap-ded my cheek!"  Who IS this kid.

CAUTION: this comment is X rated so do not procede further if you want to save your ears and mind.  While going to the bathroom he says, "My penis is so SO BIG mom!" in the loudest voice ever.  Sheesh.

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
