Connor was already in bed with me, but then Wyatt woke up at 5am not feeling too good, so he got in bed too. When I got out of the shower this morning - this is what I found.

I like how my towel & toes are in one of the shots. hee hee!

By the end of the day, Wyatt ended up at the doctor's office and they told me my kids were removed from my insurance policy (someone is going to get some not so nice phone calls in the morning!) The doctor said Wyatt's tubes have fallen out of his ears and they are a mess again. And when we stopped to get diapers at the store (we are totally OUT) Wyatt fell out of the cart. On his head. Yep. There you have it: I deserve a gold medal for MOTHER OF THE YEAR!!!

Dwayne & Brian Howard gave Wyatt a blessing and hopefully tonight will go better.
Wait.....I can hear Wyatt crying in the other room already. Crap.

Just for fun: I love how Connor sets out his clothes for the next day. He doesn't always do it, but he does it quite often. And he LOVES his spiderman stuff! He's singing a song he made up about spiderman in the Primary talent show on Thursday. Should be interesting...................

And just because Wyatt is so dang cute:

I can't sleep, so I decided to post a few pictures from today....these are of the boys playing outside after family dinner. I love how little Carson was the best driver out of most of the boys. Wyatt was taken on some pretty "exciting" rides by the boys. They are all so cute.

It's been a while since I've posted any pictures of Mr. Wyatt. Here's some taken after his bath tonight. Of course that naked bummy runs right for his blanket!!!!

Connor crashed pretty good last night on his bike. He's been pretty brave since he learned how to ride without training wheels, but I knew this was coming sooner or later. I'm sure he'll have a little bit of fear in him now. (for a little while at least!) He crashed on some gravel and it gave him two big sores on his head. It was kinda scary having Poppa bring him in the house with a bunch of blood coming from his head! But he's OK - a little shook up and a little bit of a "knot head" now. But I already knew that. ha, ha I'm so hilarious I crack myself up.

April 2005:

"When I attended our ward's young men/young women display of Jospeh Smith projects, I was absolutely amazed and inspired. I went home that evening determined to do something of my own, something that would represent my testimony of Joseph Smith. When my children thumb through our family albums, I want them to see these pages and know how important Joseph Smith is to me and that I have a testimony that through him, the gopsel was restored to the earth. I am so grateful for Joseph Smith and all that he endured so that we can have the gospel in our lives and enjoy its many blessings. I want my children to know that the gospel has blessed my life in every aspect and that we can get answers to our prayers, have great faith and endure hard things in our lives, just as Joseph did." - Brooke Duke

I was (am) missing the boys because they are with their dad, so I got the scrapbooks out to see their cute little faces. I love looking at their baby pictures. I came across these pages and it made me think a lot. I wrote this before I had really been tested on the "hard" things. I want to say I'm thankful for my testimony....but it doesn't seem to really convey how grateful I am. But I am! And I am so thankful for Joseph Smith...not only what he did in bringing the gospel to this dispensation, but for his example on how to endure "hard" things. Years ago I taught a R.S. lesson from the conference talk "Enduring Well" by Elder Maxwell (who was being treated for cancer at the time) where he said that the Lord had partaken of the bitter cup without becoming bitter. That has stuck with me over the years and that's how I think of Joseph Smith as well. He endured so much without becoming bitter. We can too..............

I also know now, more than I did then, that Heavenly Father does answer our prayers. I love Joseph Smith's example of this. He had a question, a sincere question he brought before Heavenly Father. And he received an answer. I'm not saying we will all be personally visited by the Lord and Heavenly Father - but I am saying we will reveive an answer...in some way.

My mom had Connor draw a picture of her with Connor & Wyatt. He wanted to put me in there too and had me talking on the phone. He is too much. Lets just laugh really hard and not try to analyze it too much................ I am so busted.

This & That

I'm diggin' this new lamp I got for my room. I've been in the dark for over a month now and I'm finally getting around to getting a light.

We had an exciting Friday night at our house. I was so exhausted! I got us all ready for bed early and let Connor take pictures with my camera in my room. He takes the most random pictures. He uses the zoom and everything. My sis returned some scrapbook pages that we used for a project for my mom and Connor was taking pictures of the pictures on the pages. Funny kid! And you know how kids love bandaids and think they make any minor injury they think they might possibly maybe kinda have...better. Connor wanted one by his lip and he & I were laughing about it. Excitment at our place on a Friday night! Whoo-hooo!
