Mmm...Donuts!

My friend, Foxy 4, informed me recently that when the neon HOT light is on in the window of the Krispy Kreme store you can go in and get a free donut. How awesome is that?

So today while I was kidless, I stopped in and got myself a free treat. Last time I took Bugs with me and she took one bite and didn't want the rest...score! Two free donuts. :)

The 20 Commandments of Toddler Discipline

Our little 2-year-old is driving me crazy. So I did a little research and found a good article called, "The 20 Commandments of Toddler Discipline." It's great advice. I'd just like to add something...consistency. My plan is to write down the rules and the consequences for breaking a rule. So she knows what will happen if she breaks a rule. Obviously Bugs can't read yet, but we haven't been consistent in discipline. If she throws food at the table, she's done with dinner...no questions asked. If she won't clean up her toys, then a toy goes into time out for a week. Anyway, that's my plan. Does anyone have any good strategies or advice?

Please Vote!

I'm not very political minded, but when it comes to the world my kids live in I want it to be the best. If I don't vote and there are things being done that I don't agree with, I really can't complain because I did nothing to change it when I could.


In the song, Waiting on the World to Change, by John Mayer he says, "And when you trust your television what you get is what you got cause when they own the information, oh hey can bend it all they want." I agree and that is why I don't watch the news much. It also says, "One day our generation is gonna rule the population." I also agree. Our generation will govern one day - we need to educate ourselves and be prepared for that time. However, I do not agree that we should wait for the world to change. We need to get off our duffs and change the world ourselves.



One vote can make a difference!

Prophetic Passing

I imagine he's running to Marjorie now,
Yes, running, not waving his cane.
I see him embracing his father and mother
While they keep repeating his name.

I see him now meeting his forebears,
Brother Brigham and Joseph are there.
Sweet reunion of prophets, united by service
That only such noble men share.

I see him embraced by the Savior
While Father says, "Good and well done.
So faithful in stalwart endurance, I welcome
My noble, most excellent son.

"I then hear the ripples of laughter
As he says the reception's just fine,
But he hopes that he'll get an assignment or two
Since there's no need to waste any time.

I can hear his clear voice in the stillness
At the close of this sweet Sabbath day,
Have faith and move forward; there's work to be done.
President Hinckley would want it that way.

This is the Christ

A good friend created this slide show depicting the life of Jesus Christ. It is beautiful and I wanted to share it.

Little Version of Daddy

Here are some cute pics of our little Tiger.

He's 3-months-old today!

Man, time flies.

We are so blessed to have him in our home.

He has such a sweet, happy spirit!

Big sister wants to help too. Here she is holding Tiger. She enjoyed it for a short minute.

And then she informed us she wanted her babies on her lap instead.

And coincidentally, guess what she has named babies? "Tiger." What a character!

We sure are blessed to have her in our family as well. Our lives would definitely boring without her!

If you say so!

Look at that face! Doesn't it just say to you, I'm in charge and I know it!?!? Bugs is full of personality. Recently she kicked (semi-lightly) a little friend and I immediately sat her in my lap and told her that we do not kick. What was her response? She laid her head on my arm and pretended to be asleep (eyes closed, pretend snoring, and everything)! It took all I had not to laugh.
