Reminding me to laugh

Kids just know how to make you laugh. As of late it has been my 6 year old Jake who never stops pondering the questions of life. Here are some insights into his brain I suppose.

After receiving a birthday invitation for a Sunday birthday party he was telling his brother about how he would not be able to go. (I guess the Sunday and FHE lessons are sinking in) "Come on Tom I can't go to the party on Sunday. What is more important a birthday party or Eternal life?"
Then a few minutes later Jake asks "Mom what is Eternal life anyway?"
This week also as he was discussing school summer vacation and how excited he was for it. Then he said "How come we don't have a church vacation mom?"
Lastly today he came and told me he had something figured out. After he had touched something dirty like the dog or his mouth or who knows 3 times then he would wash his mouth out with soap to remind himself to keep his hands clean while emptying the dishwasher.
So thanks Jake for making me laugh. I definitely need some humor to get through each day.

He is so unusual! I think Jacob is a wonderful boy. You are so lucky. I love it when kids are thinking about the stuff you are teaching them. BTW, when were you going to tell me that you had a blog? Savannah came home from school and told me that she found yours during her computer time.

So I have finally been discovered. Now I will live with the constant pressure of whether my blog is as funny or witty as yours- Kashann.

Speedy Gonzales and the Black Stretchy Pants

Tues April 6 started as any other day. We woke up and went to a doctors appointment for the girls. That afternoon when I got home I was starving. I ate way too much and then soon got a headache that I blamed on the chocolate dessert that I ate. After resting for a while the phone rang and it was a neighbor who started off the phone call saying "I was hoping that you wouldn't answer because you would be at the hospital. I laughed at her and said no way I have at least two more weeks left. After the phone call about 6:30 Dave told me our goat had had a baby but had died so we called all the kids out and told them about it and we buried it. Then we had a late dinner and put the kids to bed. About 5 minutes later I had a contraction. I thought weird and Dave told me it was just goat sympathy pains. So as I had a few more sporadic contractions I convinced myself that it was just braxton hicks because there was no way that they were "real." I sat down and watched AI ...

Yesterday the boys had a school holiday so Dave took a day off and we headed for the mountains. My awesome husband loves to ski and spent many hours on the slopes, but that was all before he married me. I would love for him to ski but life happens with a family and budgets exist and it makes skiing a hard hobby to maintain. Plus we spent about 3.5 yrs in Minnesota where you get lots of snow but not a single ski hill in sight-what a waste of snow. The last couple years, I have tried harder to give my husband chances to ski. We even went out about 3 years ago and purchased all the gear at a rental store going out of business. And I close my eyes as I see how much we pay, tell myself it is all worth it, and then smile. (Remember I am cheap so skiing just wouldn't naturally be on my radar.) This year for Christmas I gave my husband 2 lift tickets purchased for a great deal at Costco. First of all, I am used to spending lots of money at Costco and that way I wouldn't stress ...

Finally some pictures

Hooray we have new windows! The installers left this morning and we now have 5 beautiful vinyl windows and one of them is a bay window. We are taking advantage of the tax credit for energy efficient windows and hoping that we can stay a little warmer this winter. So all day yesterday we had no windows in our house and at the end of the day our house was full of flies. Thank goodness that global warming has taken a vacation in CA because it has been a burning 75 degrees the last 2 weeks. Of course it happens to be the weeks that my kids are in swimming lessons so they have been freezing. Yesterday one of Daves work colleagues came by to look at our goats. Seeing that we know nothing about them except what I have found googling, this guy is a definite expert. He told we should butcher them soon or sale them as they are ready. If it was a matter of me being ready they would have been butchered 2 weeks after we got them. They have been a real pain in the neck. I have gotten used ...
