Counting My Blessings

We had a great Thanksgiving and got to spend 4 days at home with my family. We haven't done that in a long time and it was great to have so much time with them. Thursday we had a great dinner and watched a movie together. Friday morning, Steph, Mom and I got up EARLY to go shopping and I almost finished my Christmas shopping (which was quite the accomplishment as I hadn't really started til that day either!!) We had a fun morning together but decided it wasn't worth it to get up that early with all the lines and crazy rude shoppers! We did get some good deals though~ We Celebrated BYU's victory over UTAH (GO COUGARS) It was a great game and we are sad the season is ending! We took some family pictures, played with dogs(3 labs=trouble ), watched movies, played games and ate- ALOT! We have so much to be thankful for!

Word of Mouth

LPK 1.1.13 I changed into my comfy clothes and sat down to eat. Londyn looks at me, 9 months pregnant, wearing one of Cody's shirts and says "Mommy you no wear Daddy's clothes!!"

LPK 12.27.12 Londyn got a bike for Christmas. It is a little hard for her to pedal. She walked into the room where Cody was and says "Daddy my bike needs batteries."

LPK 12.26.12 In an effort to reduce the amount of time spend using the ipad, computer or TV we have cut Londyn off some days to remind her of all the fun things there are to do other than watching TV. Cody was upstairs working and Londyn came in and took him by the hand. She showed him the computer chair and said "You like this chair Daddy?" "Do you want to sit in it and watch a video on the puter?" I was at work but I am sure he gave in!

LPK 11.21.201 Londyn was pushing her stroller out of my room today and said "Bye Mommy- going to work!" I stopped her and said "You going to work at Costco?" "No- Target!" "Bye"

LPK 11.05.12 We were watching Garfield's Thanksgiving and I was telling Londyn that she could be a vet when she grows up. Then I added to the list and said she could be a teacher, a doctor or a Pharmacist like Mommy. And you can be a Mommy. She looked at me and said "I wanna be a Daddy!"

LPK 9.2.12 Driving by Hawaiian Time tonight, one of our fav take out places Londyn points and says "There's Dinner" Right There. There's Dinner Mommy!"

LPK 8.31.12 During the ultrasound for baby #2 we show Londyn the baby's pic, pointing out the head/face. Baby g was opening and closing her mouth, Londyn looks over and says "Baby Screaming!"

LPK 7.24.12 Londyn is obsessed with the iPad. She loves her shows and games. She is usually pretty impatient when it loads but it finally sunk in and as she was waiting for PBS kids she turned and smiled and said all serious, "It's woading."

LPK 6.15.12 Leaving Londyn at daycare, I was sad to leave her, I had to go though. I said bye and turned to leave. I was called back with a sudden"Mommy!" Londyn says, "give me kiss!" I bent down and she laid one on me. Then she says "give me hug!" I got the best hug ever.Then she waved and said "bye Mama"

LPK 5.5.12 Saying prayers L is funny. Last night I said "We are thankful we could go to work and school" and Londyn said "Work" "Target" (I work at Costco now, she is still in disbelief).

LPK 4/15/12- Londyn brought us the Wii remotes and said "Dance with Me" Turns out she loves Just Dance and the "Monster Mash"

LPK 4/15/12- Cody and Londyn just finished a puzzle together. Londyn said "Five" Cody was confused at first but then figured out she wanted a high five. He gave her one, to which she replied "Knuckles!" Cody was so proud!

LPK 3/16/12- Londyn was wearing big girl undies today and had an accident on the carpet. Nothing major but her first one. I had her help me clean it up and explained that we need to go potty in the potty and not the carpet. Tonight when we put her to bed she was playing with her baby alive that pees in the potty and siad "baby" "poop" "carpet" "Oooo" over and over. Cody says she's scarred.

LPK 3/14/12- I sneezed and Londyn said "wess wu."

LPK 3/7/12- Londyn jumped from the couch onto Cody tonight, knocked him over and growled "Tackle."

LPK 3/3/12- Today at the park an unfriendly dog approached Londyn!" and Cody. Londyn went back to playing but turned to repeatedly tell the dog to "SIT!" He obediently sat and she turned to Cody happily and said "I made him sit!"

LPK 3/2/12- today I put Londyn in a shirt with an Effiel Tower on the front of it. She excitedly pointed at the top of the tower and said "temple!"

LPK 3/1/12- while watching Sesame Street she said "Elmo Singing."

LPK 1/12- Londyn learned the word "toot" and loves to blame everyone in the room for tooting. She thinks it is so funny to blame Mom and Dad, but when we deny tooting she points to herself and says "Londyn toot."
