Boy oh boy... time goes by. I remember Mom's journal and how every entry started out by saying how she was going to write more in her journal.... but, she never really got into the groove of journal writing. I, however, am going to post more often on my blog. How else will the world know how cute my kids are? Seeing as how, when we are in public, they don't seem to shine quite like I'd hope. The crying and the fits sometimes give people the wrong idea. You know.

We had the most beautiful snow storm yesterday. The flakes were as big as quarters floating down out of the sky. I decided to just sit and watch it snow while the babies were napping and ponder on the beauty of our planet.

The storm through Brigham off a little though. He decided that yesterday was Christmas and he couldn't wait till he heard Santa's "Ho, ho, ho" again. You see, this last Christmas Santa's "Ho, ho, ho" and the sound of jingle bells woke him up on Christmas morning. I explained that it wasn't Christmas... "Well, is it tomorrow?" Nope.... "Then when is Christmas? I know that it is close." We talked too much about the months of the year and how long till Christmas. The topic was revisited repeatedly. This morning Brigham asked if I thought he would like what he was going to get for Christmas. Grrrr....

I planted flower seeds. I am afraid they are not going to make it. Good thing I have more seeds, eh. I can't wait to plant my tomatoes, peppers, garlic... Yumma!

Leah said "Rachel" for the first time yesterday. She refuses to repeat it though. We are getting closer to little Rachie having her own identity.

Kindergarten Round- up was yesterday. Weird, being a parent and listening to them explain how they can't give medicine to our kids. Well, duh. He is going to wear a school uniform. So cute! His teacher is Mr. Garcia, from Spain. Sweet. When do kids learn to read? (Ticee, no need to answer 3 years old... too late) Should we be working on that during Kindergarten?

We were reading a Dora book and R saw a picture of Tico ( friend of Dora's). She surprised me by saying "Tico" excitedly. Then she started tickling me saying, "tickle, tickle, tickle." But it sounded like the exact same word (tickle = Tico). It was so fun watching her make that connection. Who cares that it really shouldn't be a connection. It was adorable.

S's birthday is coming up. I am still gung-ho on going to the rez that weekend, so I think we will have a party here the next weekend. I am thinking of a princess theme, hmmm?

I have the perfect theme for R & L's birthday. "Two by two." We can have animals of all kinds like Noah's ark. They love animals... they are turning two... there are two of them...huh? Good idea... I know.

I just finished reading the series "The Dark is Rising" by Susan Cooper. They were good books. Interesting, fun ideas. I wish I could find an object of the High Magic or be an Old One. Either would work for me. And the stories have King Arthur in them and Wales. I have been searching for some Welsh ancestory... Randy has a lot, of Welsh ancestory that is. Lucky.

Now I am reading "Physik" by Angie Sage. So great! We must make her famous, I am telling you.

E is trying to pass the CDL test. A license he needs for work. He is having the hardest time with it! He is taking it again tomorrow. A few prayers on his behalf wouldn't be unappreciated. I sure would hate to take a test in Spanish.

How many of you out there know what a polyglot (polyglaught?) is? You should hang out with Ana. Now, there is a smart girl.

Well, I just tried to run a spell check, without any luck. So, all of the errors will just have to stay. Sorry...

Love to all!
