My blog: a new series..."What's your weird?"

I'm going to start asking people what's "different" about them and taking pictures. My brother-in-law is the first in the series.

His name is Sam and this is his weird...

He can stick his arm down his throat...just kidding
He was born with only half an arm.

The first tooth.

Noah has had a loose tooth forever! Uncle Dan told him that if he could pull it he would give Noah a dollar. Noah told him he could have one pull. Aaaaaaand that's all it took. I was so nervous.

Because she makes me laugh out loud

She's the cutest

The BEST bread recipe in the world!

So, if you know me you might know that I like to bake from scrach. (If you don't know what that is, perhaps I can explain it later...smiley winky face)
I'm always looking for the perfect recipe and tweaking recipes. I have probably tried 100 bread recipes (ok realistically 25 ish) but this is it. It's 100% whole wheat and 100% fluffy and yummy. Even my husband asked me to make it again.
It will have you white bread eaters converted over in no time!

Ok, HEREit is!
We also made donuts and pizza with it.

Because the baseball picture didnt post

Random...because I can post from my phone

These are of Hannah because she's cute. In no particular order

Take me out to the ball game.

Noah is playing in a peewee ball league.  They are all so cute. I think Noah is the tallest on the team. They run the wrong way, sit down in the outfield, forget to run to the next base, and get about 10 pitches to hit the ball. They dont keep score that I know of but they all have fun.

Our newest Grad!

Noah's all done with kindergarten. Can't believe it!
They sang the cutest songs and he looked sooooo cute.
Can't believe I have a 1st grader!
I'm pretty sure he's the smartest kid EVER!

Asher writes his own talk.

Asher is 4 and is in a Sunbeam class at church.
He was assigned to give a talk in primary this week.
Last night Heath was helping him with it.
It subject:  Jesus Christ is our Savior.
Heath gave him the first line but the rest is ALL Asher.
I wanted to remember it forever. It's so cute!

Jesus is our Savior.
Jesus died for us because he wants us to live.
Jesus stood beside me.
Lamanites met others who were seeking liberty.
I love Jesus.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

He really told Heath all of that but the first line.
He gave his talk just like that.

I think we'll do that from now on...ya know, let them write their own talks.

Sometimes everyone in our family makes mistakes.

After Hannah had thrown up on the freshly cleaned carpet and
after I cleaned up the puke off the carpet, off the kitchen floor,  off the clothes and off the sink and 
after Noah had been crying for an hour because he didn't want to eat his dinner and
after I was looking at and folding some of the mound of clothing on my bed and
after I sent Noah to his room crying and
after Hannah climb in Noah's chair ate ALL his dinner (round 2 for her) and then spilled water all over her clothes (after the bath)...

I said , "Asher, I just can't do it anymore."
Asher: what?
me: be a mom
Asher: why? you just get tired?
me: yes, sometimes.
Asher: well, you take care of us.
me: do you think I'm a good mom?
Asher: Yes, sometimes everyone in our family makes mistakes.
me: yes, that's true. Guess I'll be your mom forever.
Asher: ok



-Asher, almost 4

Jesus wants us to forgive: a Noah quote

Noah was talking rude to Asher.
I told him it wasn't nice and to say he was sorry.

Noah: Sorry Asher.
Asher: I don't forgive you.
Noah: Jesus wants us to forgive.
Asher: I still don't forgive you.
Noah: ok, I'm going to say a prayer and tell on you.

Me: hahahahahahahaha
