Funny!

So, Travis and I ran across a video clip by a comedian named Anita Renfroe. She's really funny (and clean). Very "Mom" friendly.

Start with these: Short Episodes

And then move on to this: Music Video

It's so true! It almost made me cry (more than the original).

Alma 29:4

I ought not to harrow up in my desires, the firm decree of a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or unto life; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction. (emphasis added)

In our scripture reading tonight Claire distinctly said, "decrees which are awesome". Unalterable? Awesome? Close enough, sweetheart. It made me smile so much, I just had to share it!

Sorbet, sort of.

Today I put frozen Mango, Watermelon, and Strawberries in the blender. Then I realized I have no yogurt (a key ingredient in a great Sorbet), so I added some milk, sugar, vanilla, and a little fruit juice. As I was blending I had this conversation with Caleb:

Caleb: Mom, what are you making?
Me: Some Sorbet.
Caleb: Is that Smoothie or Ice Cream?
Me: Well, It's a smoothie that wants to be Ice Cream.
Caleb: Oh, can I have some?
So I put some in a cup for him.
Caleb: Mmmmmm! This is good, mom.

Now we have a container of Watermelon Mango Sorbet in the freezer. Yum!

1st Grade!

Joshua started First Grade today! He was so excited to get up and walk to school with his dad this morning. Travis is also starting first grade (that is, a First Grade Bilingual Teacher!) So, we're settled into our own place, and staring the Career we've been working on for the last seven years.

First Tooth!

Breaking News: Joshua lost his first tooth this week. He has been wiggling it for about three weeks now and it was hanging by a thread, so Travis decided it was time to pull it out.


He was so proud and is already saying his other teeth are loose!
