MOM, Birthdays are like Boogers...Remember???

You sent me this card a few years ago and I've been saving it to send back to you. So here it is.

On the inside it reads:

The more you have, the harder it is to breath.

So, I was wondering is it, huh, is it harder to breath?

I do want you to know that I think you are amazing and I am so glad that you get to be my mom. Who else would put up with all my shenanigans? I do have to say that one of my favorite things you ever did for me was to buy me thick white tights when I was going through the awkward non-shaving period in my life. It so grossed you out but you still loved me and my hairy legs.

I admire you for the wife that you are, the sister that you are, the grandma that you are, the taxi driver that you still are, the vessel that you've been to all eight of us Stott kids, the friend that you are, the way you serve in your callings, the supportive Bishop's wife you've been-all 3 times, the reader that you are, the silly girl that you become when you are either with your sister or you daughters-late at night, the soccer, basketball, and volleyball mom that you have been and you're still at it, the seminary teacher, the barber that you've been, the cook that you are, the traditionalist that you are, and mostly for the ever supportive, very cool mother that you are! So many times in my teen-age years I would get upset with you and go into my room and rant about how I was never going t0 be like you. I was dumb then and I was stupid enough to think that you didn't know what was best for me. I was wrong and now I find myself doing those things that I swore I'd NEVER do and you know what, I love it! You have instilled many great lessons in me and my siblings and we are very lucky to have a mother who sacrificed so much for us. I hope that you know how much I still need you to be my mom and you are a Super Star to me. And for the record I have never shoved my finger up my nose and posed for a picture just to freak you out(hee hee).

I Love You Mom-Happy Birthday!!!

No three turkeys are alike

When you ask a 3yr old boy, and two, 2 1/2 year old girls to make turkeys, you might be surprised by their creations. Boy(Logan) picks pink paper for his turkey for forgoes the turkey's head and just glues the eyes and beak to the feathers. Girl #1(Cyrena) picks white paper and makes the turkey with great attention to detail. Girl #2 (El) picks pink paper and at least gets the eyes on the turkey's head.

When Ki got home from school she asked where the turkey's feet are-oh man, I forgot that detail.

I love how different each of the children are. They are great kids!

Haircuts

If I remember correctly, Ki was almost three and her Grandma Kay gave her her first haircut. El, almost three, got her first ever cut last week by Grandma Lora. I didn't realize that until today. I am not good at the frills and cutie stuff when it comes to hair. Why do I have two girls??? Maybe one day, and I'm sure it will be to late, I will get into cute hair and all the frills- Or not.

Emmie Shemmie-it's your birthday! I hope that you have a fabulos day! Your card is in the mail-tomorrow. I can't always get everything done in a timely manner ;0)

A mini me... Not so much

El really wanted to wear my glasses today. She was thinking that glasses made her look like me-only she looks just like her dad!!! She has my blond hair and blue eyes and she's a girl, that is were the similarities stop for her and I.

The "Real Halloween"

Ki got her way, two Halloweens. I told Steve that he got to take them out and about b/c I have done trunk or treat by myself the past 3 years. He was a good sport and went out with them. I stayed home to pass out candy. We are in a new neighborhood so I wasn't sure how much candy we would need. Well I over did it and now have 5 extra pounds stuck on my butt to prove that I bought to much candy. El was very shy about asking for candy and by the last few houses she could say "Thank you". They had a good time and Ki keeps asking if she can have candy for breakfast-NO WAY!!!

Shout out to LindiAnn

It's your Birthday today! I hope it had been a great day and that you are being spoiled by your family today! Love Ya !

Our Ward Halloween Party

Ki and El had a weekend full of cousins and then on Saturday night we went to our ward's Halloween party. With some encouragement from a friend, I made El her candy corn costume and then Ki pushed my creative limits with a request for a peacock costume. They are pretty cute girls I think! The only bummer about a party before Halloween is that Ki asked my today if she still gets the "real Halloween," I guess the days of ignorance are over for her...and me.
