So I am laying w/my 4 year old, who is fascinated w/the discoveries he makes in life. As I am cuddling him, our faces close together, rubbing his hair (so he will fall asleep) he opens his once closed eyes and asks: Mom, does my nose breath feel really, really warm to you?"
Seriously child, Nose Breath? I LOVE his claim on terms in life!

Poverty and Chickens?
Many of you think that because I was raised in Idaho, in farm country, that I would be all about the down home cookin' thing. Or maybe you know my dad, who would randomly bring an "animal" home and cook it for dinner--claiming he found it on "the side of the road"!
Folks...I am quite the opposite! In fact, so opposite that I am really considering becoming a vegetarian...seriously!
This afternoon I pulled out a "bird" for dinner. Now mind you, it was a WHOLE bird! I found it on "special" at Smiths Marketplace. Gotta love that place for their great specials! Since we have become more frugal in our grocery spending, I decided I would buy this so called "bird" and cook it myself instead of spending the money on my favorite: Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast!
So I pulled it out of the fridge, unwrapped it, and began rinsing it off in the sink...and GROSSNESS came upon me! I saw feathers, little tiny ones, vein vessels and fat deposits! Then my imagination got the best of me and I started thinking of this poor animal I was holding, and how at one time it was just clucking away on some farm not even aware that I would even consider eating it for dinner! As I rinsed its legs and wings and neck and pulled something from the inside I wondered WHY I was even thinking of eating this BIRD!
Relentlessly, I finished washing it, put it carefully in the crock pot w/some lemon pepper seasoning and butter and prayed that my children would enjoy a nice home-cooked meal of chicken and rice!
Let me NEVER forget, nor take advantage again , of all the butchers in life that spoil us with boneless, skinless, chicken breast that does NOT look like a chicken! It's a pretty penny to pay, but ever so worth it! I may need to be frugal in my grocery spending, but I will vow to find the extra pennies to buy "MY" kind of chicken!
Thus, let the farmers be farmers and the butchers be butchers, but let me enjoy my chicken in peace!

6 year old birthday party...
Seriously, I don't remember when...or even why...but it has happened...I've become wrapped up in the excitement and celebration of my children's birthday parties! I've always considered myself "simple", but I think I am proving myself drastically wrong! But oh how fun, to get wrapped up in the joy of a 6 year olds birthday party!
We have chosen our theme: "Movie Star Night" and how carried away we have become...especially on our limited budget! It has been fun to be so resourceful and so creative!
So here is a huge thanks for all who have helped make this extravagant moment come together!
We are SO excited for tomorrow! We'll post pictures after our wild extravaganza!
parties and popcorn!

Brilliant Baby!
So this week it is just Brooklyn and I, as Dave has taken Madison and Jacob with him to work in Idaho. It is our first day alone, just the 2 of us, and we are certainly enjoying our day! Brooklyn and I have had "moments" alone, but never a full week and she is reminding me every moment that she comes FIRST! Oh how I LOVE her!
As I have spent the day with her, I have realized how brilliant she really is. (she doesn't get nearly the recognition she deserves being the 3rd in line!) Her favorite saying right now is "Look! mommy! Look!" She reminds me of Little Quack, in the famous book, Little Quacks Bedtime. And "h'mon mommy!" for c'mon mommy!
So today was spent counting to 10, singing the abc's (all day long), playing the abc games on starfall.com, and playing Toy Story Yahtzee Jr., a favorite game of all 3 kids! Yahtzee Jr is the greatest invention, as all 3 kids, ranging from almost 6 down to almost 2 can play all at the same time and be happy, content, and patient as they wait their turn!
Then as we are on the computer, to which she loves, she says, "mommy I want to see it" (the monkey) and after seeing it, she says, "mommy, I saw it". O.K. not even 2 yet and has the tenses down perfectly.
She also LOVES cupcakes, and grandma Adams sent some home with us on Sunday. First thing this morning, she sees them sitting on the counter and says, "mommy, I want a cupcake". Me, getting her prepped to eat the cupcake, gets reprimanded from the little one when she says, "mommy, I want it NOW!"
I miss my little ones in Idaho, but I am also looking forward to this quiet week with just one little one at home! She sure is full of LIFE!

Oh, what a summer!
So after my 2 VERY lengthy novels, I decided to be short and quick! I'm sure all you readers will be very appreciative! The last 3 weeks have been very fun for our family. Unfortunately, our camera disk has an issue and will not release the pictures I have on it...so only one photo to show our fun!
We spent a week in St. George with our really good friends, the Borups. We can't wait to go back and visit them! We both decided that 2 wives and 1 husband isn't so bad when it comes to sharing responsibilities between children! Thanks you guys for the great hospitality and good times!
We got back a day before the Adams Family reunion and had so much fun with all of the cousins, and in-laws! There were lots of games introduced and played, talent shows performed and people everywhere! It was a fun-filled, social weekend!
Our final "trip" planned is to Twin Falls this coming weekend for my cousins wedding. I must be getting old when one of the youngest of the cousin's is getting married. That really wasn't suppose to happen for a LONG time:) The kids are excited to see daddy, (he has been working on some properties of Grandpa Haney's) and they miss him a ton--so do I! .
Hopefully the camera will get fixed soon and I can post some more pictures of all our fun! We are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends!
butterfly kisses
Here is a picture of my cute, but toothless, little one who LOVES to have her face painted! (I'm thinking...All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!) Once we got home she had to put on a fancy pink dress to complete the butterfly outfit...I can FLY!

An entry for me, because I have grown..
Tonight, I cried. Partly because I could, partly because I was tired. I thought it was because I went to bed at 2, and was up again at 6:30. And then I reflected on the past week.
Dave left... he is in Twin Falls, indefinitely, until some rentals are fixed up and ready to sell. I feel alone. I come home each night, with 3 little ones, to an empty home. The porch light is not even left on, I'm sure it was because I forgot that Dave really isn't home tonight and I didn't turn it on.
Our week began with news that our friends were in a serious accident just before father's day. Being able to help them has been a great opportunity for us to serve our Heavenly Father. It is truly amazing how quickly a life can be taken from us, and at the same time how another's life can be so blessed. Our prayers go out to their sweet family. Although they are mourning a loss, they are also celebrating a life. They have witnessed many miracles through this difficult time and it strengthens my testimony of the power of the Priesthood and the plan that our Heavenly Father has for each of us. Treasure and cherish each day that you have with your families...make each day the very best and remember to emulate love around you!
Madison had surgery, that ended up being an all day adventure. My sweet little girl didn't understand why she was in so much pain and felt so dizzy and sick. When she went in, she was a typical healthy and happy little girl. When she came out, she was grumpy, tired, hungry and in a LOT of pain. I sat and held her in the chair for hours. It felt good to have some alone time with her, although, next time, I know we will be doing something much better for our girls adventure! I was saddened that Dave wasn't there for me to lean on. I am so used to him being there for every little thing our family goes through. I guess some would say, SPOILED. I was very THANKFUL for great family and neighbors who were there to help give a blessing and watch the kids!
I had to load the car twice with garage sale "stuff" by myself, to make a mere $100. That was honestly harder than a days work teaching! I took for granted all the times Dave got up early to set up tables and pull out the "junk". I would roll out of bed at 7:00, get dressed and start to sell. He would take care of the kids while I "socialized" with the public.
Today, I had to get the kids up by six, spend until 3:00 selling our junk, while wrestling 3 little hooligans, endure the pains of a royal sunburn, deliver the unsold to D.I., repack the empty boxes, sunshades, tables, etc. , drive 3 cranky tired kids home, unpack the full car to get to the 3 now-sleeping-kids, haul the kids up to their beds--one at a time, console a tired one who cut her foot getting out of the car, and finally re-put her back in bed. I now look forward to going in to kiss their sweet chubby cheeks goodnight. They really did endure well today.
Then, with a husband gone, I have had my usual car trouble. It always happens when my "fix-it-all" husband is away, and I am here alone, to solve the problem. Mind you, with 3 small children in tow! Thankfully, they too are once again patient, as for the 5th time this week, the car won't start, and we have to find someone with jumper cables, because mom's forgetful mind has forgotten to replace them in the van. I never seem to remember until I need them, although I pass them in the garage daily! Thank you Brett and the Lamb's for bailing me out on many occasions! I think I'll be walking from now on!
Now, to end my evening, the Bishop would like to meet with me tomorrow at 1:00. So, at 10:00 at night, I have decided that all will work out in the end. Church ends at noon, the kids will come home, eat lunch and with my GOOD luck, fall right asleep for a great nap. The DILEMMA? I am suppose to be able to take a nap tomorrow while they are sleeping...! And now, to find someone to sit with the 3 sleeping beauties tomorrow! I guess I will retire to bed early tomorrow!
I am beginning to realize just how very selfish my life has become. Those around me might describe me as generous and full of service, and I would like to agree. However, when it comes to my immediate family, I think I have let them down a little. It has literally taken a miracle for me to see the trap I was in. My Heavenly Father is REALLY looking out for me. In the last month, I feel closer to Him than I have in a very long time. I am soooo very grateful for the last 4 months that I have had to learn, and grow...spiritually and emotionally. If I dare say so, I think I am beginning to "act my age" spiritually. Dave's job loss has been such a blessing for us. Yes, we have altered our lives significantly, as one should in this situation, and we are going to come out the better for it. We may not have a whole lot of worldly wealth right now, but we have each other and our 3 wonderful kids! And that is everything we need right now.
I LOVE my husband. I am very grateful for what he has provided us with. I miss him and can't wait for him to come home. I hope that I am a changed person when he returns because my life has been so richly blessed for having him in it. Do not look back on yesterday, but look forward to tomorrow and make it better than the day before. I need him in my life and feel such peace with what lies ahead for the two of us. It may NOT always be easy, but I KNOW that with him, it is sooo worth it!
I thank my Heavenly Father for the blessings that he has sent me...I know He lives...He loves us and is aware of our every need. We may not see what lies ahead of us, but He knows and if we stay close to Him, it will be revealed to us, when the time is right. Have faith and press forward!
I love the familiar primary chorus: "lead me guide me walk beside me, help me find the way, teach me all that I must do, to live with him some day." I sing it many times during the week to my little kiddo's and know they feel the spirit when they hear those words. I know that He is leading us as we walk through life and that if I let Him guide me that I will live with Him some day...I look forward to that day, to sit with my dear family and friends beside me. Through these trying times, my faith has increased, I have felt humbled. I have been filled with much love. I hope the patience comes next! I sincerely pray that it continues to grow stronger and that I can really be a blessing to my own family as I come to appreciate the true beauty that they are in my life! Love to you all, my dear Dave, Madison, Jacob and Brooklyn. You are truly the treasures in my life!
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

5 love languages of children...and "dugs for sale"
I recently dug up, and yes...literally...dug...out of the garage...a box. A medium sized box. I was EXTREMELY happy to find this medium box. In this medium box were some books. Some very important books...Some very important books I would like to READ...not just sit in the medium sized BOX...
So the other day, I unpacked these important books out of the medium box and started to read! It was amazing! I read in the day...the middle of the day...and very late into the night...and any other time I could find to read these important books from the medium box. I was intrigued by what I was reading...so much that I am using my new important knowledge from the medium box on my little children. And oh, oh, oh how it works!
See, I love these 3 little children very much. And I want to understand thier little minds very much. I want to be the best little mommy for these little children....So I read, and learn, and apply, practice and re-apply and then I start the cycle all over again.
The little treasure I dug out of the medium sized box is the book titled "the 5 love languages of children"...and I like it very much! I have learned to become a better listener when I am with my little ones. I have learned to touch more...to hug and kiss, rock and hold, dance and jump--I have learned to give them little gifts when they have done something really, really well---I have learned to spend time with them...to get down on the floor and play cars, babies, playdough, go on bike rides, play at the park(not just sit on the bench)...I have learned how important it is to speak words of love and praise so that THEY understand it...I have learned to LIVE in the lives of a 5, 4 and 1 year old..and I LOVE it!
I am so glad for buried treasures that are found! I am thankful for "enlightened" moments that make me want to be a better person--and especially a better mother to my 3 little children who I love so dearly. There is always a new adventure when children are around...yesterday I found enough patience to let 3 little ones dig dirt out of a hole, find worms in it, make the worms a home in a little 3" cup, make a sign to put on the front door that reads: dugs for sale.. and get so excited to sell them! They really are TREASURES in my life!
