Deep Thoughts: by Jocelyn

Sometimes I think it would be fun to be another person. But than I think, "I would still be me."

Kamden: Nephew

These pics turned out so cute I had to post them. My sister went to an antique store and borrowed some stuff from a friend that's a professional and this is what came out:

Here's her other kids:

Silly Canon

I had to post this before I forgot. I think it's so funny, I write things down so I don't forget and then come and post them here later....or never. And then my brain got a clue--I should just post them as soon as they happen. I'm a genius!

Canon at the dinner table: (we're eating on paper plates) Mom, I want spiderman (talking about the spiderman plate)

Me: No, Canon.

Canon: Mom, I want spiderman. Mom, I want spiderman. Mom, I want spiderman. I WANT SPIDERMAN!!

Me: Canon, I am not getting you the spiderman plate.

Canon: Dad, I want spiderman.....Dad, I want spiderman...

Dad: No answer.

Canon: Ryen, get me spiderman. RYEN, get me spiderman.

Ryen: No Canon.

Canon: Ethan, get me spiderman.

Ethan: No.

Canon: Logan, get me spiderman.

Logan: No, Canon.

Canon: Jocelyn, get me spiderman. (this was in order of how we were sitting, btw)

Jocelyn: Nope.

Canon: Me get spiderman??

I just love it!! I love him! I love my kids. I love pizza on paper plates for dinner.

Complete Silliness

Logan: When I was eating my breakfast blood started to roll down my finger, from my paper cuts.

Me: Let me see...I don't see any blood. It looks fine to me.

Logan: That's because it's too dark in here.

Me: Would you like a bandaid? Is that what you want?

Logan: Yeah.

Canon at Pack Night starts running right into the middle of a relay race with kids running to and fro. The kids are skidding, veering, and dodging him. Then Canon falls as I'm rushing out to retrieve him. He hops right back up and yells triumphantly, "I win!"

Valentine's Day-The Rest of the Story

The Food:

Salad Demaison, Asparagus, Chicken Pillows-shaped into hearts, Sparkling Cider and Heart Shaped Fruit Pizza! It was so yummy and pretty too.

The Decorations: Heart Confetti, Curled Ribbon, and Pink, Red & White Candy Corns all complete with our Best Dishes and Candlelight

And the most important part: our family!

We all dressed in our very best. I even did the girls' hair all fancy.

Check out their hands in this photo-so funny!

And the best part: The Dancing!

Thanks Mindi for the fabulous idea!!

Valentine's Day for the Whole Fam

So we decided to make Valentine's Day a family affair. We had these invites for the kids to open this morning for our fancy rendezvous tonight. It's gonna be fun! I also gave them 3 coupons each for one free chore completed by mom or dad. They were really excited about that. I think more excited than for the partay tonight.

10 Years Old

So we have these insanely cheap passes to Trafalga and Seven Peaks. We definitely want to make the most of them. So on Ethan's birthday we took the kids there. Even though everyone in Utah county has bought these passes and it's pretty crowded there, we had a really great time! We went rock climbing, mini golfing, played laser tag and rode some rides.

Check out the pure joy on Canon's face.

Happy Birthday my sweet sweet boy!
