Cankle Scar

So Eddie's favorite movie is Lion King this week and when he talks about it he says Cankle Scar instead of Uncle Scar.  It's just the greatest. I'm not sure why I think it so cute when kids say stuff wrong but I love it.  

Sick baby

Got up early for us on a Sunday and rushed to go to stake conference.  Dad wasn't feeling well so Mom came to pick me and Eddie up because Chad was out dove hunting with Brian.  We got most of the way there and BARF, Eddie threw up in the back seat.  We had to turn around because it was all over him and he was upset about his "yucky burp".  Eddie wanted medicine and to take a bath and now he's all cuddled up with George on the couch watching "The Lion King".  It's his new favorite movie.

No more Burger Beaver

Eddie can finally say Boogie Fever and it makes me a little sad.

FHE-S'mores

Tonight was Family Home Evening.  We had a lesson about being thankful for food how we get food from plants, animals, trees, fish, etc.  Not sure how much Eddie understood but then we got to roast marshmallows and make s'mores.  Eddie didn't really love them, especially the melty marshmallow.  He liked cooking them.  After that Eddie wanted to dance to "Burger Beaver" which is commonly known as "Boogie Fever".  I love Disco dancing so any excuse is good for me.

Happy Birthday Eddie!

This morning when I got Eddie out of his crib I wished Eddie a Happy Birthday and told him he wasn't going to be 2 anymore but he was now 3.  He started crying and told me no he was still 2.  All day long if we tried to sing him "Happy Birthday" he would tell us to stop and that he didn't like that sone or we had to wait until Sunday when Alex comes.  (Alex is the Nanny Jolee's boyfriend that we will meet at the birthday party on Sunday)  He finally allowed us to sing it tonight when we went to dinner with Marsha at Mexican and we ordered him an order of Sopapilla and sang to him.  On sunday we will have a fun birthday party with a Lego theme.  He loves Duplo blocks and toys so I think he will love the Logos.

Ahhhh My Eyes!

Saltwater is not always my friend.  I went and swam some laps tonight at the neighborhood pool (which they converted last year to salt water) and now my eyes are killing me.  Luckily I've got an eye doc in the house.  I also can't keep my eyes focused.  I don't know that I have any glasses here.  I'm all blurry.  Ugh.

Swimming

I love swimming so much.  That is pretty much the whole reason I moved to a new house and subdivision.  I love helping Eddie learn to swim.  I think he loves to swim almost as much as we.  I love spending time with him.

Eddie-isms

Chad and I have been discussing that we have to try to remember Eddie-isms.  The way he says or used to say things is so cute that it needs to be recorded.  I guess I'll make a post just for that.

Hear me roar or snore

I love being a mommy so much. I am dead dog tired (only 3 hours of sleep if that) but I can't help loving the wide eyed bright smile of my son. Even when it's at 5:30 and all I want to do is sleep. I know that smile means we are both going to be awake for a bit, it's just too cute. I am mommy hear me roar (or it might be a snore if I managed to nod off for a minute).

You're Fake

Today after going to church and while we were eating lunch Eddie turned to me and said, "You're fake."  I have no idea what he was talking about so I asked him if I was fake and he says, "Yep."  Soooo anyway who knows what he means.  I think of being not true to oneself, a posturer, a poser.  I don't think Eddie knows what any of that means.  He is not even 3 yet.

Today was really great at church it was fast Sunday and I really feel like I got some of the answers to my prayers and guidance on what I should be doing to find the answers to the rest.  It really is all about the read, pray, attend concept.  If we are studying our scriptures, praying regularly, and faithfully attending our meetings the Lord blesses us so much.  There are other things too but I think these are so important.  I really need to attend the temple.  I think I will find answers there.  I also need to take time to ponder the guidance of Henry B Eyring and try to find the hand of God in my life daily.  He was truly guiding me today.

I am teaching the 12&13 year old Sunday School classes.  I love teaching sunday school.  We talked about the importance of journal/record keeping and I realized I am horrible at it but it is a commandment so I am going to try to be better about keeping a record.  I really like this blog because it is so easy to find it.  It can't be packed away and lost in our boxes in storage like the rest of my old journals.  Not that I was ever great about keeping a journal before.
