Here's Aussie sleeping sound fully on the couch.
Here's Ace also on the couch (a popular place, no doubt!)
Aspen was so tired that she grabbed a blanket and crashed on the floor.
Adam sneakily took this shot the other day. I had no idea!Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Sleep wherever and whenever
"When you're tired, you're tired," I always say. So why not pull up a piece of couch or floor and take a nap? Heck why not sneak into bed with mom, when she doesn't even know it?

Sorting Beads
The other night I was sorting beads for a project we were doing for preschool the next day. It was a LONG and TEDIOUS task until....
Helpers Came!
Even Ace caught on, and did a great job. They were all great helpers, and it turned out to be a lot of fun!

5 Reasons Why the Number 5 is the Best Number
Many times, you hear phrases like "3's the Magic Number," and "Lucky Number 7." Nowhere do you hear anything about the number 5. So I am going to make my own lilst.
1. We all have 5 fingers on each hand
2. We all have 5 toes on each foot
3. We don't give a high-4, we give a high-5!
4. Our Nation's finest president is on the 5-dollar-bill
5. The Jackson 5!...
...Well, maybe not...how about....

Coming October 2009
There's still room on the couch, right...or maybe on a lap!

Orange Safety Goggles
Don't you find it funny when out of the hundreds of toys you have in your house, there is ONE that they all fight for? The other night, Ace wanted me to put these orange safety goggles on him, then they all wanted a turn...
Too Cute!
I asked him to smile, and he gave me a "kissy" face
I caught him in the middle of "wiping his nose"....eeeww!
Aussie kept on pulling on the glasses when Ace had them, so I had to give him a turn...
He didn't like them on his face, so he kept putting them on his head.
Aspen saw all this happening, and didn't want to miss out on the fun...
Next Christmas, I'm getting everyone safety goggles!
P.S. if you're wondering where Anderson was, he was at a sleepover with his "uncles."

Helpful kids
As a mother, you do your best to teach your children. Recently, I have been attempting to teach them how to help out around the house, and "provident liveng" for lack of a better word.
The other day, I asked the older two if they would help me fold the kitchen towels. Not surprisingly, the jumped at the chance! It was so cute to watch how Anderson was teaching Aspen how to do it. "You fold the big ones into a rectangle, and you fold the little ones into a square."--he was taught well.
On Tuesdays, the store mailer comes in the mail. Anderson, especially likes to look at it to see if there are any "treats" on sale, bacause he knows that we only get them if they're on sale (and if I have a coupon that goes with it ;)
I couldn't be more proud!

2009 New Year's Resolutions
As a family, 2008 has been a great year. We have accomplished many things...new job, new baby, ran a marathon! We have also learned a lot! 2009 will be a test of that knowledge. Hopefully we can do better. Here are our resolutions:
Adam: "to get at brain"...or, rather, to fill it with more information....or, hope it doesn't explode, and leave me looking like my picture! This year, I will be working on getting my administrative teaching liscence, as well as heading up a brand new Varsity Girl's soccer Program, and teaching PE at Westlake High School. I would also like to better my time in the St. George Marathon.
Arianne: One word, "sensitivity." I am working really hard this year at being less sensitive. I tend to overthink things, and read too much into what people do and say. I need to let things just roll off my back. Also, I would like to be MORE sensitive to the people in my family. I want to be able to pay more attention to what they need, and how I can take care of those needs.
Anderson : TURN 5! Every day, Anderson asks, "am I 5?" He says, "when I'm 5, I get to go to the big school, ride a bike with no training wheels, play soccer, go to Lake Powell, and I will see Molly Paul and the twins again!" All of that will happen when he is 5, so that is his resolution....to turn 5!
Aspen: To be a big sister! She already is, but all she talks about is being a big sister....Again? No, I'm not announcing anything! She is such a great big sister, and we are so grateful for her.
Ace: We have had a big year for Ace, full of all sorts of new things. Heck, he was potty trained at 22 months! If I were to make one for him, it would be to grow into his head! He is constantly diving head first into things, because he is so darn top heavy! Still cute, if I don't say so, myself!
Aussie: This year will be full of new things for Aussie....first steps, first word, first birthday. I'd say, he's got enough great things he will do this year!
Resolutions or not, I'm sure this year will be filled with lots of ups, downs, and all-arounds. We will just all have our goals in sight, and keep on keepin' on. That's what we do!
