A blog from Boise

I just wanted to get out a post, a lot of you know that I am here in Boise because my Mom is dying. We are home with her and all of her kids are here. She is comfortable and that is all we can do for her at this point. I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate your prayers and willingness to help out. We will be fasting on Sunday for peace and comfort for the entire family. If you would like to joint us in our fast that would be wonderful. Thanks again to all! Love you!

Happy Valentine's Day!!! I hope you had a LOVEly day! I decided that I love Valentine's Day! I think it is getting better now that I have kids and we can celebrate together and I can be a kid again! We started out the day with a pink breakfast with hearts. So cute I don't have the picture. And we ended it with a party! We exchanged Valentine's and ate home made pizza. The kids loved it! Thanks Jenn. These are the Valentine's I made for our party and for Xavier's school party! So much fun! We made these gumball machines for his teachers. They turned out so cute! I love Valentine's day!! I hope you guys had a great one and We love you!!!

Steelers for a day

Football fans!

The spread!

I know I'm a little late posting about the super bowl but I just downloaded the pictures and remembered how much fun we had. We were Steelers fans for the day and it was quite fun to decorate and cheer for "your" team! Let's not get carried away and start thinking I would love anyone but the Titans but they've got to give me some Superbowl time soon! Anyway the kids and I were dressed in the only teams we have, Giants and Titans. We had all our friends over and had yummy food and watched a really great game!! I made my Steelers sign with the cricut and was so in love with the results. I mean heaven is scrapbooking and football right? It doesn't get better than this!

DAMN

Look at my baby. My sweet little Xavier. My every other word is damn Xavier! What the heck?!?! So it all started about a week ago. We were playing ants in my pants and when Xavier's ant didn't go into the pants he said D (we're going to use the D instead of the real word) Before I reacted I asked him where he heard that and he said "Daddy" yeah Pedro got an ear full! Thanks a lot by the way! Anyway I then began to tell him that we don't say that word, that it's not nice, I don't like it, Heavenly Father doesn't like it etc.. etc.. I thought we had it covered, until it kept happening. Then I thought words are not enough. So I go to soap. He got soap in his mouth 3 times before he started saying "Mommy can you put soap in my mouth so I won't say D anymore." What? Now I'm thinking he likes soap or he really just loves the word D! He now has to go to time out when the infamous word escapes his lips which is at least twice daily! Then he says tonight right after bed time prayers none the less, "Mommy I need some soap my puppy just said D" He is obsessed with this word! What should I do! He won't stop saying it!! The worse part, if there is a worse part is that he's using the word in context! I just know he's going to go to church on Sunday and say it to Sister Avery or worse teach it to all the kids in his class. Sorry by the way if that's the case! Yikes! I don't know what else to do to get him from being my little potty mouth! Somebody help me!
