THE picture

I still have pictures to add from the July 5th cookout not to mention the beach trip this weekend but I NEED to go to bed. I had to put this one picture up though.

What do you get when you put a bored little girl in a car seat and a box of doughnuts in the same car? The picture of the year, that's what! I should send this to Krispy Kreme.

Photos

I don't have many photos of Ashley and to top it off I forgot my camera on Saturday! This is a picture of her during Tyler's birthday party.

Here is Tyler.

Sleep Walking . . .

talking in your sleep . . . singing in the rain . . . ok, I've heard of this stuff but this morning????

I got home around 3am and was putting away a few groceries. I heard a voice in the kids' room. I got closer to check on them and realized I was hearing what was a first for me - singing in your sleep. Chloe was asleep yet she was singing Book of Mormon Stories and was emphasizing and repeating the word right - eous - LY. How cute is that??

EASTER

Today I was thinking about Easter traditions in my family. The family reunions used to be at Easter and a big part of that reunion was heading over to Duke Gardens to stroll, smell flowers, take pictures, show off our Easter finery and so forth. Today I went with Lisa's family (and Willow) to take family pictures before Ken leaves for Iraq. Half the world was there too, but that's another story.

Anyway - when I logged in to read my email I saw this video link and thought it was pretty good so I'm sharing. Let me know what you think. Please.

Words to Live By

A wonderful friend sent this link to me and I decided to share it with anyone who reads my blog. As she told me, relax and enjoy . . . http://www.lshs64.com/enjoytheride.html

EMERGENCY!!!

NOT.

This is a story of a little girl who cried wolf. While Mommy was on her cell phone in the hallway at church, this little girl and her brother started playing with the hall phone. Mommy got their attention and got them away from the phone. Immediately the phone rang. Mommy answered the phone and a nice lady identified herself as being with 911. OOOOPPPPS. Mommy told the lady about the children playing with the phone and everything was OK. Mommy told someone with the church group about the ooopppsss just in case the police showed up.

This little girl knew right away that she had done something wrong and was clinging to Mommy. She was sooooooo worried. She asked Mommy if the police was going to come and take her to jail! (AAAWWWWWWWWW)

Mommy had planned to have this conversation at home but decided that it had better happen right away. They talked about when to call 911 and why we shouldn't call them when we don't need help. Nice conversation and everything is cool, right? Nope.

As soon as the girl got home she went straight to bed! Mommy went in and asked her if she was still worried. Poor baby. She was sure the police were going to show up and take her to jail! More talking happened and Mommy even told this little girl a story about another little boy that did the same thing and the police came to the house before they found out he had called 911. The police just talked to him saying the same things that Mommy had already gone over. The little girl was STILL worried. Mommy told her that she had a friend that was a policeman and would it help if she called him so he could talk to her? YIKES!!!! NO! Hopefully a lesson has been learned and this little girl won't be afraid of the police.

The End
