Jared Lost It

Jared finally lost his first tooth yesterday. It happened right before sacrament. We were sitting there waiting, and Jared says my tooth came out. Then he proceeded to show everyone around us. He wanted to go show his primary teachers, but by that time, it was time to start. So he had to run and catch them afterward. He was so excited. It was quite the event to have happen right before sacrament. There has not been a visit from the tooth fairy yet. He spent Sunday night at Grandma Fran's because there is no school today.

Four Generations

Kevin's grandparents came down from Montana for a few days, so we took the opportunity to take a four generation picture. Grandma and Grandpa Paskett are the last of the living grandparents/great grandparents. Too bad they live so far away. We only get to see them about once a year.


Grandma Diane does not like her picture taken so this is the best picture we could get of her. Hopefully next time we see them we can get a better picture. We love you guys and look forward to when we can see you again.

Naked Bum

Jared got out of the shower this morning. He came and stood at the top of the stairs in his towel, because the rest of us were downstairs. Kiana saw him there and told him: "get dressed, I no want to see you naked bum." It was so cute, we were all laughing. We love that cute girl (and Jared and Andrew too).

Sticker Fun

The other day, Kiana found some stickers. She was taking them off the backing and playing with them, so I decided I would put them to good use. This is the end result. She actually left most of them on all day. I hope she had as much fun as I did.

Kiana's Latest Mess

So today, Kiana is in the bathroom. She is potty trained so I didn't think too much about it until my nephew Scott who will be 2 in April come out of the bathroom soaked. I go up to assess the damages. I found 2 inches of water on the floor and a whole roll of toilet paper unrolled into the toilet. Then, I discover that she has gotten into all of the elastic bands for her hair. At first I thought that she a put them in the toilet as well, but after calming down a bit, I found most of them on the stairs and in the hallway. I do think however that the purple ones did drown, because I could only find four of those. All this after she dumped popcorn all over the floor earlier this morning and drew on herself with markers yesterday. I don't rememeber the terrible 2's being so bad with my boys. They had the horrible 3's. I hope she is getting it out of her system now, or I don't even want to know what she will do when she turns 3. Gotta love those little ones.

Ready For Spring and Wellness

I am so ready for spring. I have taken my kids to the doctor more times in the past month then I did all of last year. It all started with Fifth's disease. They all broke out with this. Then Andrew had strep throat, and today Jared complained of an ear ache. I took him to the doctor for that and on a whim had him look in Kiana's ears as well. Her ears he said were worse than Jared's. So now we get to deal with two ear infectons. Most of us have had runny noses and coughs. Kevin was spared this (knock on wood). I hope we can all get over this soon, I don't know how much more I can take.
