Our Family: Oh what a three year old say's.....

"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Oh what a three year old say's.....

So last night we were getting in bed and kaylin was in our bed (of course)and i layed down talking about my feakin swollen feet, and my belly buddy was kicking around so i pulled my shirt over my belly and right away kaylin started laughing historically and i looked at him and said "whats so funny", he said "your belly is so fat now", my mouth just dropped and i couldn't believe my three year old said that to me....man that makes you feel soooo good!!!

*just so i have it on record for my own memory*
Saturday (oct 10th) Kaylin said his first swear word...yes i did say swear word. Nick and i were watching one of our favorite comedy shows " Til' Death " and is was kinda quite in the room, kaylin was in the room playing with a some cars and the girl on the show says..."wait whats that smell...oh i know its not your a**" referring to her own side of the room with a very nice smell instead of her husbands behind, like we all know about from our husbands smelling up the room before bed. well kaylin sits up on the chair and says " its not your a**, its not your a**", i tried to stop him from saying it before he did but i didnt get through to him in time. seriously he wasn't even paying attention to any of the show and then he decides to at that one moment in the show...*sigh*

Kaylin's Funnies!

set up: nick and kaylin are playing video games.

"your not very good dad, you should let me show you how to do it"

"Iam really snart, i know stuff " (snart: meaning smart)

set up: kaylin wants to sleep in our bed.

"kaylin you need to sleep in your own big boy bed"

"but that is my 3 year old bed and I'm 4 so now I can sleep in this bed with you. its a 4 year old bed"

set up: kiptin pulled the filter off the vacume and I couldn't figure out how to put it back on.

"oh mom why did you take this off, let me fix it"

"no kaylin leave it alone, let daddy fix it"

"I can do it...see mom, fixed"

(a very stupid mom moment for sure...its sad when your 4yr old is smarter then you)

“One’s life….cannot be both faith-filled and stress-free….Therefore, how can you and I really expect to guide naively through life, as if to say, ‘Lord, give me experience, but not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me, Lord, all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art! Then let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!’ Real faith….is required to endure this necessary but painful developmental process.” Neal A. Maxwell
