Can you eat in your sleep?

First a picture of the kids. It's rare to get a picture with all of them smiling. You can see the tulips on the table that Kevin gave me for Valentines Day. He knows I would rather get flowers that don't die. I can plant them in the back yard and see them year after year, sweet! You can also see the balloons I hung from the ceiling. I tried to make it look like a chandelier. The kids liked boxing with them more than anything. Now if you have ever wondered if you can eat in your sleep...Jacob proves that you can ha ha.
Do your kids get this cranky when they are tired? I love when he spits part of the bean out ha ha.

Happenings


Danika has been begging me to teach her how to crochet. So I got her a hook. Now keep in mind that I myself am just learning. The girl is on a roll. She is doing better than I am. I'm loving how enthusiastic she is about it.
I know many of you are sick of watching BriLynn dance but I just can't get enough. She cracks me up, her newest skill is while she is standing. I wish I could have recorded more of her doing it but, as soon as I grab my camera she doesn't do it as much.This week is going to be a little crazy...I'm volunteering at the Bear River Head Start. I'm sure some of you have heard of the Disney Give a day, Get a day program. Well all of Kevin's side of the family is going in June. I think it's sweet that you can get a free ticket by serving. Plus, it's really nice that I can choose when to go in since I have to find friends to watch my kids. (Thanks to all of you who are watching them!) It's too bad that they don't have service for little kids to do here in Logan. Doing that among meetings and the kids school dance night, blue and gold banquet for Andrew and more meetings, this week is full. On another note: I'm getting super excited and freaked out at the same time. We are leaving for our cruise in a couple weeks. I'm unsure what to expect. If you have been on one before, do you have any advice for a first timer?

Good times...

We use to go all the time to Lowes and Home Depot for their kids workshops. I think it got overwhelming to take all the kids (since the two youngest get really restless and don't want to just sit in a cart and watch). Well, the kids really needed to get out of the house (cabin fever) I figured we should try it again. The kids had a blast! Andrew and Danika could read the instructions and do it themselves which was really nice.Danika and Andrew have made quite a few more projects than the other two (you can tell from the amount of patches on their aprons). They made Valentine Jewelery stands. We will definitely have to go more often. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Valentines Day!!! We celebrated last night by going to the American West Heritage Center. They had a Valentine Vaudeville show with dinner.

Listening?

Last night for FHE we talked about listening. It seems like we have had to repeat ourselves often to the kids. When we finished Danika said "Oh it's kinda like when Jonah didn't listen." Yes, they understand what we mean. Then she continued "God had to tell Jonah more than once to go to Narnia" Well we are almost there. Narnia, Ninivah, I can see how she could get them mixed up he he. Call us mean but if we call them once up to the table (knowing fully that they heard us) and they don't come before we pray. They don't eat. They sure get up to the table fast. Now to figure out how to get them to listen to the rest of the things we say. Any ideas?
