Facebook Updates

I'm just too far behind to keep up so I just copied and pasted a few of the highlights from Facebook.  Hopefully I'll have time to add to the better ones.

I'm grateful that when I checked on my sweet sick baby after he went to bed that he has a Book of Mormon, hymn book and a story book about Nephi in bed with him. How blessed I am to have him as a daily reminder of what's important.

 

The high school was in lock down today. I handled it fairly well. I am grateful for the assortment of official cell phone numbers I have and that Zach heeded my advice "not to do anything stupid" and that Bailey was off campus. 

There was a report of a couple of men with guns in the apartment complex by the school so it was put in lock down. The school sent out messages just stating it was a lock down. My friend whom I was with had a text from her daughter saying, "there is a man with a gun we are hiding in the closet" so of course we freaked out and took off for the school. I knew we couldn't get in but I wanted to be closer if my kids needed me. Fortunately I have lots of cell phone numbers of people who know things and was told it was nothing. Nothing makes your heart stop like that kind of a phone call!

Bailey told Jacob he was being annoying and he just smiled and said, "my specialty"

Jacobs ears are red (he does that when he's hot) and he said, "oh mom...its a bacteria..a special kind of bacteria that only I can see...its treated with candy"

 

Kaitlyn must not weigh enough to make the automatic doors at Smiths open...Too bad she wasn't looking to notice HA HA HA HA

While practicing for his spelling test Jacob said, "I know how to spell it I just don't which letters to use " :)

A Bailey quote ," I can't sing the high notes so I just make them up"...that explains it.

In an attempt to make it on time to Jacobs last soccer game Zach rode his bike to the rec center, ran over glass and had both tires explode on him. He ditched the bike on the side of the road and ran the rest of the way. That is dedication!

Things you DON'T want to hear from Zach when you come home..."I taught Jacob how to put out a fire".

‎"If you see a paper with a bunch of scribbling lines all over that I need it...its my homework"....Jacob.

Dear neighbors, I'm sorry I forgot to close my blinds before playing Just Dance...it wont happen again

Zach was "reassigned" from his TA position at school for reenacting the final scene from King Kong with paper airplanes....sigh

The principal nicknamed Kaitlyn "Miller the Killer". Every time he calls her that she stands at least two inches taller.

Jacob just suggested I need "Life Alert"....grrr

Today is the last day of summer but don't worry...I plan on hanging around.

It has come to my attention that people don't know my husband. It was a topic of conversation tonight....so...if you have had a conversation with him let me know..I'm beginning to wonder if I just imagine he is here :)

Getting ready to go play some church ball. Hopefully someone brings a first aid kit and a defibrilator

Somebody just had a little melt down because all the "good" cereal was gone....I then realized I'm the only one home.

Perhaps making homemade helicopters using rope, carabiners, hockey sticks and blankets ISN'T the best idea.

Kaitlyn just brought me my bar cookie and said, "small and delicate like my mommy"...I think she was trying to get more for herself! :)

 

Now that Jacob can clip his own toe nails I am afraid I"m useless.

Zach to big tattooed dude on trax......(head nod)....so youve been in prison too.? The guy had been fyi but gave zach all the reasonx to stay clean :)

Pretty sure its the last place I'd expect to find Zach but he's at the Willie Nelson Concert.

Toothpaste and neosporin are not interchangeable

Learned the hard way why people put their pants on one leg at a time...that's going to leave a mark.

Nylons after an all You can eat lunch? Not a good idea...I think My left eyeball Just popped out

Jacob: Hey mom, for some reason the bathroom smells like rotten eggs...maybe I shouldn't eat eggs in the morning and maybe I should brush my teeth downstairs....later in the morning I said, "what do you need to remember today" (meaning lunch box) and he said, "never trust a fart"..sigh.

Favorite Jacob quote from the first day, "kids aren't happy they're serving 1% milk, they like 2% but they all make me throw up 100%

As I dropped Jacob off he said, "Mom, you only have a 12 pack of Dr Pepper left...are you going to be ok?" :)

The server at olive garden just asked if its ok for Kaitlyn to have a big cup...ha ha

Zach about a former school, "The kept saying 'be a leader' and the minute I get a group of followers they called it a gang" Ha HA

Jacob discovered the doorbell ringtone on a phone and keeps do

Took Jacob to Herriman Beach tonight and he was so excited to see they had installed "boobies" to help keep him safe :)

orbell ditching Kaitlyns room. He's so proud

Bailey hasn't stopped talking in 12 hours. I turned on the radio in the car only to have her turn it off and say, "I enjoy the silence" ;)

Teaching Bailey to sew is somewhat like living in an I Love Lucy episode. Funny if you're watching on tv....not so funny in real life.

 

You should check yourself before you blame other people" Jacob Miller..so true.

When is the community garden NOT pretty..... when your keys are somewhere in the weeds!!!!

Watched Soul Surfer with the kids and right at the dramatic moment that the girl loses her arm Jacob says, "oh no...how will she text?!" :)

Playing a game with Jacob and he says "ah ha I see a flea in your plan" he he pesky fleas :)

I never tire of watching my husband fall in a lake.I guess the answer to the question on whether or not I can fix the broken cord would be a big fat NO! The fire shot a good 2 feet but the shock was by far worse.

 

Good thing I bought Jacob new scissors...apparently his "first grade scissors" are too "old fashioned" for second grade.

Reason NOT to recycle containers....I just put quinoa on my ice cream instead of peanuts :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am His Daughter

Bailey and Kaitlyn just had their Young Women in Excellence Program and I was so proud of both of them.  Kaitlyn was asked to speak on Good Works and she received her first value award for Knowledge.  She met with one of my friends who is a photographer who gave her some great tips. Bailey won her Honor Bee.  She completed her Personal Progress as a Beehive so she had to do 40 hours of service and read the Book of Mormon again in order to complete it. This is one of their favorite songs so I put it together with some of their pictures for the year.
