Who said so??

So- I was teasing around with Jacob the other day, bugging him about growing up... I said- "You have been growing! Who said you could grow?? I thought I told you that you weren't supposed to grow anymore!" He said- "Daddy said I could"- Daddy denied that! then he said "Samantha said"- Samantha denied it too! A little while later he said- "I know who said I could grow.... Heavenly Father!!" I said- "Well shoot! He trumps me big time!!! I guess I can't argue with him!". Jacob thought he was pretty cool and funny.... I think because he finally thought of the only RIGHT person! Cracks me up! He is such a smarty pants sometimes!

Joshua has definetly been teething! He is such a crank! Not his norm. His little bottom is so rashed that he is bleeding and has blisters where the raw skin is. The desitin won't even stick to the raw skin. I cake it on so thick, hoping that it will get better... but it doesn't really. Today- I started using neosporin- I'm afraid it is going to get infected! Poor baby! Makes me want to cry!

Samantha had her teacher conference today. She got a good report card! She is doing very well. Last night she was reading her library book to us. She decided that she was going to read it with "EXPRESSION". So- she stood up in the front of the living room on the step and read the book to us, with expression, and stood the whole time. It was cute! She really is a good reader! I hope all my kids are that good in school- and stay that way. Donny did really well in school too, Hopefully they get his skills for good school work and study skills. Life will be much easier on them if they inherited that trait!

I- climbed Mount Si on Saturday with Melanie Willden and Brandyn Parks. It was great! 4 miles to the top- where there was snow! I wore just my short sleeved shirt the whole time until about 50 feet from the top. That was when I decided I was getting a bit chilly (sweating the whole time until then... I think the sweat started to get me cold at that point) and put on my fleece jacket. When we got to the top, we were going to eat something and then head back down. We started eating lunch and then a big gust of cold air came... BRRRR!! It was VERY COLD! So- that was when I put on my jacket. There were some birds up there who would come and get food right out of your hand. It was very cool. Beautiful birds!









We did Thanksgiving dinner for Donny on Sunday. He left today and will be gone on Thanksgiving day too! I wanted to make sure he got a nice Turkey dinner, so we invited Don and Ginger over, (Jamison and Callie came because they were staying with them for the weekend- Scott was out of town), and Ken, Amber, Chad and Natalie too. It was a nice little get together for Donny! It was very yummy! Happy Thanksgiving Honey!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you too!! Hope your week is a safe and Thankful one!
