Daisy's prayer

Tuesday night I was putting the kids to bed and as I tucked Daisy in I looked at my finger and realized I didn't have my wedding ring on. I thought to myself that I didn't remember taking it off. So I went into my drawer where I put it and it wasn't there. I got a little panicked so I looked all through the drawer. I keep all my jewelry in the top drawer so I took it all out and it was gone. I started walking through the house. I went out to the family room and saw the towels still on the floor from C & L's bath. I thought I probably took it off when I put their lotion on. Well it was nowhere on the floor. I knew C found it and who know where it would be. Jeff was gone when this happened so I went into the girls room and asked if they had seen it. So they got up and looked for a little bit but I then told them to go back to bed. By now, I was crying and looking everywhere! In the back of my head I kept thinking go say a prayer, but I didn't. Jeff came home and I was trying to tell him why I was crying. So he started looking through all of Coopers cars on the floor. Anyways, about an hour later, I found it. It was on my floor under my bed next to one of Cooper's hot wheels. I was so happy. I went in to tell Daisy because I knew she would still be worrying about it. Her response was so sweet and innocent that I once again started to cry. She said "I know, I said a prayer." I'm so thankful for her and her understanding of prayer and that she had so much faith that if she said a prayer I would find my ring. She taught me a lesson that night.

5. Then we had leftovers that night at the Hall's
6. I took Daisy, Lindsay, and Becky to see Enchanted.(so cute by the way)
7. Jeff did my Black Friday shopping for me so I could sleep in. I gave him a list of what I needed at each store. He came back with all of it too. Bonus!
8. We got our family pictures taken for our Christmas cards. Thanks Emily!
9. Jeff got up early on Saturday, went to Walmart and bought icicle lights, and then came home and put them up. I was once again sleeping in. Boy I sound lazy.

No No

ok I don't mean to keep posting about Cooper but he is at that stage where he is learning so much and he is a crack up. We went up to Showlow again last weekend. This time we stayed with Devin (THANK YOU SO MUCH) The dogs got a little too comfortable with Cooper and Cooper with the dogs. Anyways, Bella (girl corgi) growles at Cooper everytime he got too close. So she's growling, Cooper is laughing, and Devin says NO! to Bella. So Cooper would walk around to the dogs and point at them and say no no! Even if they weren't doing anything. So now if he hears a dog bark, he first barks like a dog, then says no no!
Not to leave Daisy & Lindsay out, because I think they are so stinkin funny too- Bella & Lilly (girl bull dog) don't always get along. Total girl fights. They would start growling and barking at each other and I look out the window and there is Daisy & Lindsay in the middle of it telling them to stop and be nice to each other. Then Lilly goes off to the side and cries and Daisy is over there comforting her telling her it's ok. I was laughing so hard. It was total girl drama out there. I just stayed inside and let all 4 drama queens work it out.

Happy Birthday Marmee!

Today is my mom's birthday. She is on her way to Utah so hopefully she will see this when she is up there. So here's to my mom!
She homeschools, runs a business, runs errands, cooks, remodels, reads, teaches nursery, babysits, vt's, goes to the temple, has FHE with the family, has Sunday dinner for us every week, and will always find the time to hang out with her kids and grandkids. She is very giving and always happy, and has patience and a positive attitude towards life. I hope to be like her someday. I love you mom! Happy Birthday!

Where's your eye?

we've be trying to teach Cooper where his eye, nose, mouth, etc is. If we say where is your nose or mouth he just smiles. If we say where is your eye? He says "eye" as he puts his finger in his ear. It is so funny! If he hears the word eye of I in a conversation, he says "eye" putting his finger in his ear.We get the biggest kick out of it because if you ask him where anything else is he just stares at you and smiles, but the second eye is said, there goes his finger.

Friday I'm in Love

So I have this song set in my memory on my Sirius Satellite. So every Friday morning I hear it on the way to taking Daisy to school. Today it is very fitting because it is our 11th anniversary. Yep count it, 11 years of wedded bliss! ok maybe not, but it's still been fun! Jeff always finds me the perfect card on our anniversary. This year it said A kiss is just a kiss. A sigh is just a sigh. The inside says But a good loud snore means you're married. Amen to that! I still love you though sweetie! Happy Anniversary! Happy Friday!
