January 29th -Yeah, I dragged my three kids to a surplus sale that B.Y.U. was having... it was an hour and 1/2 wait outside with all three...they actually did really good and I bundled them up like crazy...but, I will never do it again, not to mention they didn't have any good deals on laptops which is what I was looking for! It was an experience!
I just had to post this picture! Yesterday Landon dressed up as a cowboy. Isn't he cute!!!!

My family went to the Draper temple open house with my in-laws. I wanted to go, but the doctor told me to keep Lincoln home as much as possible during this RSV season. So, I didn't want to risk him getting sick, so I went over to my in-laws and stayed there while my husband took Logan and Landon to the temple... my mother-in-law told me she wished she could have brought a camera inside the temple because... Logan and Landon were holding hands together while they walked through. Isn't that cute!!! Logan is an excellent big brother to Landon, he always takes good care of him. I have been truly blessed to have the family, I have.
On January 28th I decided to go shopping at The Children's Place they happen to be having a huge sale!!! Everything in the older kid section was $5.99 ...yes, everything! and the little kids section was $4.99. It was wonderful! It felt like Christmas as I grabbed JEAN PANTS for $5.99 a piece and a 3 in 1 jacket for Lincoln for $4.99! I got my sister-in-law, Liz some clothes as well which I hope is o.k. for the prices I got them! I also got my sister, Kenna some really cool clothes for good prices... (we're starting to share sale knowledge...like tell each other when the sales come) It's really awesome!!! But earlier that day I went to a grocery store (Buy Low Market) that I thought had opened the day before, but it didn't and they were giving away a free bag of groceries that day for the first 1,000 customers! So I got some free food and stuff! It was a good day!!!! Almost euphoric!!!
January 22,2009 ... Lincoln smiled at me for the first time!!!! Well, I actually think he smiled before that, but my husband kept saying it was 'gas' (cute uh?)... But, today I know for sure that it's not just him letting himself go...it was me that caused so much happiness in his little life! I started talking to him and he smiled right at me and started making those cute cooing sounds babies start to make. I love it when they hit this point in life, it makes my whole heart swell with joy and happiness. He looks at me with loving eye's and directly at me...smiles!!!! Oh...it's wonderful! On a side note it's taken him till today, the 31st for him to smile at his Dad!!! Mom is special!!!!!!!!!!And another extra side note the dates on the pictures are wrong...my camera is psycho.
Well, for Martin Luther King Jr. day we decided to have a family fun night for family night...Kirt had school off so we played together all morning...but, Kirt said he had to get some school work done later, but he thought we could all go see a movie. So, we thought we'd go see 'Bedtime stories'. So we drive to the South town Cinemas at the local mall and the showing we wanted to see was 3:15 pm well when we got there they were all sold out...they had another showing for 5:15 pm, but Kirt thought that would be to late. So we drove to a cheapo theater (Movies 8) that had older movies (just to take them to see any movie because we told the kids we were going to see one) and they were also sold out for that showing... so we then drove to the new theatre at the University Mall in the next city... and just as we got there the "new" theater wasn't sold out but the entire theater had just experienced a power failure and wouldn't be showing any more movies that day!! Kirt and I looked at each other at that point and figured maybe "Karma" was against us. So...we went back to the original theater that we didn't want to wait for and we got the tickets for the next showing at 5:15 pm we then went back home and grabbed ourselves some dinner before going to the movie. Boy, are our kids spoiled or what!?! And then after all that hassle, after the movie... Logan says "It was o.k., I wish we had done something else". And there you have it! I guess it doesn't really matter if things don't work out quite like you plan...kids will do anything!
Well...I like to mention the cute things Logan says every once and a while...Kirt went to a career fair last week and for some reason they always hand out little toys and Kirt gave Logan an airplane that he got there; and it's one of those cheapy light wood, that's like paper kind. Well, Logan looks at what Kirt gives him and says "Dad, your so wonderful, thank you", then after about 5 minutes of play time Landon gets a hold of it and rips it into two and three and many more pieces. Logan looked at the airplane and says very happily..."Oh, that's o.k. I'll just go and get some 'hopscotch' to fix it!"(meaning scotch tape)...it was cute!!! I was very proud of my Logan, that he didn't get angry at his brother for ruining something that he really liked..I have a good boy!
