Extra


G now has 8 teeth.

Mads has a new way of talking.  He repeats himself.  For example, he will say, "I need to go pee.  I do."  Or, "I built a tower.  I did."  He does this with pretty much every sentence that comes out of his mouth.  He does.

G's new nick name is Moto Moto.  Because we like his zestiness.

We went to a U of U gymnastics meet last night.  The girls loved it.  The two younger ones.  B.A. didn't go.

I bought Cocoa Krispies and Pop Tarts at Walmart last time.  What is wrong with me?

In fact, I don't think I have made a warm meal in 2 days!

Rhon has been screaming a lot.  For fun, of course.  But it sounds like she is dying, or watching someone die.  An activity we must cut off immediately.

March is the month of spring!  We are so excited.

Mads has a fever.  Why can't we be healthy?

Dare is developing a bad habit of never doing anything for herself.  She is constantly asking either Mads or Jack to everything for her.  And they will do it!  "Thanks Jackie Love."

March 7, 2009 is an exciting day.  Very exciting.

I just realized I said something about all the kids but B.A.  Since I can't think of any news about her, I asked her for some ideas.  She came in here and started to squawk.  When I looked at her like she was crazy, she said, "What?  I'm a velociraptor."  Then she said, "Well, bye bye" and ran off to play video games.  


Quick story:     The other night at dinner Rhon asked if we could pray like Muslims.  It seemed totally random.  Then she got down on the floor and asked which direction Mecca was, then demonstrated how they pray.  She threw out her pretend prayer rug, knelt down and bent all the way over with their arms stretched out.  Dare took a special interest in this demonstration.  She wanted to pray like Muslims too, but she kept calling them Muglins.  Nate thought that sounded like Islamic non-wizarding folk.  Dare decided they do it that way because they must not have tables to rest their elbows on.  This conversation was in now way disrespectful.  We explained that different religions have different ways of praying, and Heavenly Father is happy when anybody prays.

LOL...I love random posts...but I'm laughing that RHON even knew about Muslim praying!

I doubt my kids will know that much...my ignorance will rub off on them, I'm sure.

Ethan is conveniently unable to do things for himself too. What is that?

Velociraptors and Muslims--very well-rounded.

You guys are such a cute, fun family! Where did Rhon learn about the way Muslims pray? That is funny.

Nice post! Your kids are great! I love their personalities. Very cute picture! We have all been sick for like 2 weeks now. I hope this crappy weather goes away soon!

I would think there was something wrong with you if you didn't buy pop tarts and Coco Krispies. Cookie Crisp is a favorite over here (although I hardly ever buy it because it causes too many fights).

Love all the stories, but the Muslims story takes the cake!

You always make me laugh! I love your stories :) We've been sick at our house FOREVER too! Yuck, wish it would stop infecting everyone and the weather would just finally warm up for spring. While I'm sick and taking nyquil, I look at beach pictures and try to pretend I live in a warm place...it makes me happier;)
