Words of a 15 year old. I'm mean 5 year old.

So we were on the way to the DMV today and Becky and I were talking about somebody knowing everything. Elizabeth pipes in and says she knows everything. "I am in Kindergarten, and I know everything." Oh heaven help me. I am raising a teenager already. I thought they weren't suppose to know it all till they were teenagers. What happened to the last 10 years of her life. I knew I was forgetting things but 10 years really? Add her already teenage rebellion with her red headed attitude and that's a dangerous combination. I might not survive her teenage years if she's like this already.

Elizabeth Lesson.

Last Monday when I did Elizabeth's hair for school I notice pieces shorter then the rest on one side and I thought oh no she has had a lot of breakage, that was until I went into the bathroom and found her hair in the trash. Sunday night when she was suppose to be brushing her teeth she decide to cut her hair. Now it was so noticeable that it couldn't have just blended in and been fine, but I decide that she needed to know what happens when she takes cut her hair into her own hands. She didn't want me to cut it, she said I don't want to look like a boy. I told her well then you shouldn't have cut it, because now I have to fix it. And you won't look like a boy, it will look like Annalynn's hair cut. Well I think it looks really cute, and she likes it I think too. It is much easier to do. We don't have a melt down now every time I say its time to do your hair.

To quite.

So I was working on a book last week and Steven was playing. He had climbed in the toy box and pulled toys out. I realized its was really quite I got up to check on him and I found him fast asleep face down in the blankets and pillows he had pushed off the couch. It was so funny.

Pay it forward...

Why I Believe

Heritage Makers Trip

This past weekend I had the privilege of going with 3 other girls to Costa Mesa to a Heritage Makers Regional s. I got to learn about new product being released, updated coming to the website and just get inspired by our CEO of the company Doug Cloward, his son head of sales and marketing Brytt Cloward, and many other fabulous leaders.
We went down on Thursday night. Friday morning early afternoon we went to Newport Beach. It was a perfect day. Overcast, not to cold, not to hot. Friday night we had the opening of the conference, and Saturday we spent all day listening to wonderful speakers teach us how they are successful in their business. Saturday night we were very tired so we had a quite dinner at a wonderful little place called Pat and Oscars. Very good food. Sunday morning we drove Cherie to her friends house in Chino Hills to drop her off for a baby shower, then she was going to fly home. The rest of us grabbed a bite to eat then drove home. Heather and I didn't make it very far before we fell asleep. Poor Krishelle was bored without us to talk to. When we stopped in Baker to go to the bathroom so said we weren't allowed to go back to sleep. We had a great time.
Jerry was so wonderful to take care of the kids. Grandma and Grandpa helped a little. Jerry even managed to pull Elizabeth's hair back in a ponytail for school on Friday. Saturday night he took her to the UNLV/BYU basketball game while grandma watch Steven. She had a great time with daddy. She really got into the game. Jerry even managed to have them ready for church on time. Although I am told Elizabeth's hair wasn't pulled up just combed out. Oh well. The kids missed me and so did Daddy. I think he has a new appreciation for me now. He told me he understands now what I mean when I say "I need a break". He really did do a great job and I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who supports me.

Elizabeth and Steven

The other day I took some video of Steven dancing to his piano. Of course miss Elizabeth had to get in front and show off as well. I just thought it was so cute though of him dancing to his piano.
