PAPPI!
This is the face Penn has when he sees his PAPPI! He just turned 14 months and he can say
HI
Bye bye
PAPPI
Boppi
deedle doo
He babbles quite a bit and loves to look at his own sweet little face in the mirror- I dont blame him, I LOVE TO LOOK AT HIS SWEET DIMPLED CHEEKS TOO!
Dont let Penn in the office
Penn keeps ripping off the keys to the computer- he is so fast we call him our little linebacker. He runs really fast and he is always sidling someone. I can hardly put the dishes away from the dishwasher before he is right in the dishwasher rifling through the cutlery!
Last night, he pulled a huge glass bowl off the counter and glass got everywhere. Then I went into the bathroom and he had squeezed all the lotion out of the baby lotion bottle eveywhere in the bathroom. I went to find him and he was on top of the table pulling out the jade plant out of its planter.
I was so glad when Bryan got home! I dont know about this 2 babies under 1 thing. I am not sure ill ever get used to it. And yes, our apostrophe key wont work because of the SIDLER! We Heart you Penn, but sometimes I wish you couldnt walk yet:)

5 more- no 10 more!
Sister Laura Terry watched our kids on Monday so I could go have my Procedure to get my IUD. When I got back Isaac asked me why I went to the doctor. I told him I had to go to make sure we didnt have any more babies too soon.
That made him burst into tears- and he said NOOOO! I wanted at least 5 more babies- no TEN MORE! I explained to him that we would probably have more but right now. And to that he said- no I want more RIGHT NOW.
Well, I am glad that he is not in charge of when babies come to our family. For my mental health of course!

Thanks Bryan-
Its no secret that Bryan IS THE PEACEMAKER in our FAMILY- and thank goodness for him. Why you ask? Well for one, I am a bit of a micro MANAGER- and I'm sure Bryan gets enough of that at work. But I love him and I'm glad he puts up with me and has patience- because I can get a little UPTIGHT at times- to say the least:)
So today for Family HOME MEeting as we call it at our house, Bryan prints off two talks about Marriage- they were actually REALLY GREAT. and I RESOLVE TO BE A BETTER Wife, and RESIST THE URGE TO BE.... Irritated & OverWHELMED AT THE SAME TIME. I don't know what it is about Sunday MORNING that gets me in a COMPLETE FUNK.
I'm OVER IT- I'm making an honest effort to letting the little things go- mainly the house and kids perfectly matched clothes, and guest bathroom:)
The talks were Acheiving Oneness in Marriage by the Family home eveing resource book 1997 page 239
and The Call of the Mild by Martha Macfalane Wiser
The last talk had 6 points that were directed to the question HOw Can I improve the Relationship with my Spouse?
1. Avoid Negative Thoughts
2. Avoid Sniping- - don't make derogatory remarks
3. Do something Positive for your spouse each day
4. Don't set limits to the work your willing to invest in your marriage- avoid mesuring the amount your contributing to your marriage.
5. Avoid making demands or ulitmatums.
6. Practive Meekness- by being teachable
I really enjoyed reading the talks with Bryan to help me realize that even though we have a lot of demands on us right now, that our marriage and treating each other kindly should be our main priority. I'm grateful for Bryan and for his sacrifices for our family. He supports us and works very hard to keep our life very comefortable and for that I'm extremely grateful for. Also, I have to remind myself, if it were up to me to make the living- as a mathlete, we would be living in my parents basement:) (no offense if anyone is living in their parents basement:)) Until then, I will be content just MAKING Everyones Beds and making our Home A PLEASANT PLACE where my family wants to BE.

Church day? AHH MAN!
Its no secret that I LOVE CHURCH. I LOVE IT MORE WHEN EVERYONE in my family is SICK- and I can relish in the fact that Bryan is home overwhelmed and up to his ears in babies- and I can enjoy the Meeting in PEACE! ONLY KIDDING! Unfortunatley for me, everyone was on the up and up at my house so we all went and were even ON TIME. What a miracle. Isaac however is in a complete COMA on Sunday and is like I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. Fine, fine with me, the J dubs came by on Saturday- you should just hang out with them, forget your birthday, forget Christmas- NOW HOW DO YOU LIKE CHURCH, HUH ISAAC?
So finally when the two younger boys were crying and Isaac was pouting in the coner telling me he wanted to SKIP CHURCH for the umTEENTH time in a row- I finally told him a little story. I said Isaac- you know what? I want you to think about this. I want you to think if you were having a birthday party and you invited all your friends to the park, and you had decorations, and a yummy birthday cake and you were all excited about your birthday party- and no one came to your party. How would that make you feel? He said, well, it would make me really sad- I said exactly, it would make you feel like everyone FORGOT ABOUT YOU- ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY? Yes, he said- well that is how our HEavenly Father and Jesus feel when we don't go to church. Church is where we show heavenly Father and Jesus that we love them and we REMEMBER them and they are still SPecial to US.
He then got on his socks and shoes- and we all went to church. With Half a Hair cut:)

Half a Haircut
So i'm related to someone who has high anxiety when it comes to haircuts. His name is Isaac- you may have heard of him. Finally, I need to chop those precious locks- they were out of control-pretty bad. So I tell Isaac, listen, we are flying out to see all your cousins and aunts and uncles- and UNCLE RICK TODD is gonna be there so here is the deal- if you wanna be cool like uncle Todd- you gotta get rid of your half your hair.
He had a complete meltdown, flip out and was pretty close to hyperventilating when he could take no more. Finally I just stopped, I mean I can't hold him down for cryin in a bucket! So, I just stopped- he had a warm shower and then ran outside and rode his bikes with the neighborhood bunch. WITH HALF A HAIRCUT. Half of it is at an 8 and half of it is- well you know- just where we started. It is now Sunday, he still has half a haircut, and Bryan and I didn't have time to cut the rest today- so he may just have to have aunt Julie cut it- in her front yard- with UNCLE RICK TODD- showing him what a real hair cut looks like.
Until then- they boy with unmatched looks- yeah, he's ours:)
