If you haven't seen it, this is a link to Tairen's kiddieokee video of him singing Blink 182's All the Small Things.

He's in a contest to win a backyard playset. If you think he deserves a vote, go to this link

and vote for #41.

Say what you want about shameless plugs from unscrupulous parents, but we do love him. And he would be really happy if he won the playset.

I want my bed back! :)

Lance has been out of town on business this whole week. And so it has been that every morning, I end up with 3 little monkeys in my bed with me. Don't get me wrong, I love to snuggle with all of them, but I am such a deep sleeper I have no when idea when they all make it into my bed until I wake up in pain and discomfort. :)


You know the routine-one leg in your kidney, one over your chest, arms around your neck, you are on the edge of YOUR OWN bed and all children are horizontal. You think one of them might actually be glued to you. I have actually been kicked in the chest.. Hard! Lance once got it somewhere else just as nice!


Well this morning, I awoke to Makenzie dumping/squirting her bottle all over my face!! I know it was all out of Love by the way she was laughing! : )




(Third little Monkey not pictured! )
Good thing Lance will be home tonight. They can all sleep on his side. hahaha

Smoking is stupid

My conversation with Tai on the way to school went something like this.

Tai: Mom Remember when I was 3 and there was that guy smoking at Pizza Hut all around those other people.

Me: I cant remember that. Why?

Tai: I was just thinking about it?

Me: What do you think about smoking Tai?

Tai: I think its stupid and Gross!

Me: Well what would you do if one of your friends asked you to smoke with them? What if it was your very best friend and he said your dumb and you can't be my friend unless you smoke this?

Tai: I would say I really want to be your friend, but I am not going to smoke. Its bad for you and will turn all your insides black.

Me: That makes me very happy to hear that.

Tai: Mom, what is Champagne? Is that Alcohol?

Me: Yes it is? Where did you learn about Champagne?

Tai: I don't remember.(they offered it to us when we got on the boat) If you drink Alcohol does it make you not be able to read?

Me: I don't know, maybe for some people. What do you mean?

Tai: Like if you drink and try to read the word THE, would it come out sounding like THEE?

Me: Well Alcohol, makes your brain really cloudy and you cant think clearly so maybe that's what it would do. : )

Tai: Hmmm

We talked a little longer about the examples and good people that are in our life, and what to do if it ever came up and we don't need that stuff. Tai just gets things.

That was our 7 minute drive to school this morning. I was just thinking and worrying last night about the future and having to deal with this. I had no idea when this was going to come up today. But I am so grateful for these little moments, to get into a glimpse of my children's eyes and to share how I feel about it. I think children are so amazing and are faced with so much in this sick world. I also think we may not give them or ourselves enough credit
I am just so happy to have such a smart kid on my hands.

Forever a Bulldog!

My dad Loves Provo high. He went to school there many years ago. He was born a bulldog and will die a bulldog. : ) So for his birthday today, we celebrated it one of his favorite ways, by going to the Provo High Championship Basketball Game.
Although they didn't win this year : ( We had a lot of fun!

Everyone is just really sad that they lost!

But its OK, it was still fun. They can lose every once in awhile I guess! : )
Grandpa and one of his favorite Girls!

We went to a yummy Mexican Restaurant and had a guy singing to us. We were all singing and dancing lalalala bamba.

Kenzie jammin in her high chair. She's got some moves!!!

I love my Dad! We always have the most fun hanging out with this guy. He loves to party and have anyone along for the ride. Hope your Birthday was a good one Daddykins!! We love you!

Tagged...

By a Fairhurst. But that's okay. Because we have two computers, my work laptop and the home desktop, this is my fourth picture in the fourth folder in my pictures folder.

It's fitting, because these are the two women I love the most. Well, one is still the cutest little girl I have ever met, but one day she'll make me cry when she becomes a woman and marries a guy who isn't half as cool or talented or smart as her dad.

So now I am tagging Kristi do post the picture from the desktop computer. And she can choose who to tag after that.

Happy Birthday Trina Bean

Happy Birthday to Trina Bean! This beautiful talented girl turns 20 today!!

Trina has so many talents. She sings VERY WELL, and has been on several cd's.
She plays the piano, golf, and pretty much any sport she tries.
She can hang with any of the guys at anything they are attempting.
She is the first one to start games and parties.
She has tons of friends, half of which are kids that ADORE her!
She's the first one to cry when anyone gets married. : )
She loves her Chili and Chips!!
And her Crunch Bars!
She is always trying and learning new things. If she wants to learn something, she does it over and over till she masters it. Lance beat her at Tetris and Dr. Mario years ago, so she played and played till she was good enough to beat him.
She is the easiest to buy for. Everyone always wants her name for Christmas. : )
She never talks bad about anyone and hates Confrontation.
She is VERY Oraganized. She has lists for everything.
She is very dilegent and True to her word.
She has the sweetest spirit. So much fun to be around!
And she is just so beautiful!! We love her!!
