Meeting.

So for the first time in to long I made it out to a meeting.  It took a lot to get there and we only staid for the C.O.'s public talk, but I was there. Hurray.

He had so many wonderful points but there was a scripture he shared about falling over and over again (7 times I believe) and Jehovah helping us back up.  Of course this was in a spiritual sense but to me I couldn't help apply it to what I have been going through. How many times have I felt like I couldn't get back up mental or physically let alone spiritually?  How many times have I felt like everyone including myself would be better off if I didn't?  So this scripiture meant alot to me even if it wasn't how he was applying it.

We left right after the public talk, I came home crawled into bed and slept until nine o'clock at night. I only woke up because Sydney was in my room and had turned off the music I was listening to so she could play a game.  I ended up with all of the kids in my room putting both the boys to sleep. And then I was out again and didn't wake up until 1:45 pm today. It's is amazing to me that getting ready and leaving the house for about an hour put me out that hard, made me want to sleep and sleep like I had climbed a mountain, and maybe for my health level I did, but it was worth it.

Jan 7th at the kingdom Hall = PROUD PARENTS

Two stories to report from our morning at the meeting. Well not mine, Carla stayed at home with me as I was not doing well at all, but Travis and the kids were there.  Travis said the boys were being absolutely golden.  So he leaned down and started to tell Taylor how proud he was of him and Taylor turned and with a stern look said "SHUSH DADDY"!  How adorable is that. 

Then after meeting Sydney got sighed up for the ministry school. 

We are so proud of are spiritual little ones.

A trip to the store

After giving a long lecture to the kids on the way home from the store about how their behavior wasn't acceptable Travis was happy to hear Aric speak up thinking he was going to apologize, really he shouldn't have been surprised knowing our children when this is what the conversation was.

Daddy: Long lecture
Aric: Never eat a booger!
Taylor: I won't ever eat a booger AGAIN!
Daddy: That was random.
Taylor: I won't eat random either.

boys and bathrooms

My mother took my two nephews on a small road trip on the way to one of our religious assemblies. They stopped for gas and of course the boys had to use a rest room while they were there. Grandma gives them this long list of things that they are not allowed to do in the bathroom, most of which involves just not getting them selves or there suits dirty wet or messed up in any way. She lets them go into the mens room and she can hear them talking and then all of a sudden an insane amount of giggling bursts forth from the bathroom. Mom demands they get themselves together as they are running late and they finally come out. Grandma asks them what was so funny and Jabin says,
"Grandma you know how the toilets flush themselves now? Well we were standing there peeing and the toliet flushed and Ezra looked at it and said "HEY I wasn't done yet!"

I'm Taylor and I am TWO!

I was laying here this morning not having a super morning so I was just laying in bed listening to my boys having breakfast with Grandma. I think sometimes we forget that our kids actually do here the words coming out of our mouths even if they don't listen at that moment it may be they remember it at a crucial moment in their lives. This morning wasn't anything dramatic or life changing but it still made me smile. Taylor does listen he just prefers to be the boss. He just very clearly told Aric:

"Sit you butt down!"
