Day by Day: So Sad

So Sad

This world is a scary, sick place. Little girls, stolen and killed. The little girl from South Salt Lake was found in her own apartment complex. This is terrifying to me. So close to home. I don't ever want to let Addy out of my site again! I can't imagine what these poor parents feel. My prayers are with them. How are we supposed to keep put kids safe?

The Groom

The Bride

Lis was born and raised in NY. Her grandparents are converts to the LDS church and her family was sealed for eternity in 2003. She moved to Utah in the hopes of dating some nice guys and she ended up marrying the first stud that caught her eye. She now has been successfully tamed. She enjoys motherhood to the fullest and the self proclaimed "Salesperson of the universe" is working on selling the idea of good behavior to her 3 year old and wiping the toilet seat to her husband. She is really close to her family and though 3000 miles away is lucky enough to see them a few times a year. She is so grateful for her husband and the amazing man he is. They are excited to grow and learn together until they turn into raisins. Then it'll be on to the last phase of eternity together.

Confessions of a 4-year-old

The scene- Addy sitting at the computer, mouse in hand. She beings to yell at it, "Go faster, go faster!!"

Lis says JOKINGLY "Ima spank you" Addy responds "I want spankings! Smack That!" and slaps her butt.

The scene- Addy chasing Saber around because he has the toy in his mouth and she's yelling "Drop it! Drop it!"

Addy is feeding her lunch to the dog. Grandma tells her to stop and takes the appropriate action. Addy tries to detour by singing, the "I love Mother" song but changes the name to "I love Grandma".

Mom tells Addy to do something and when she doesn't listen Mom gives her a little nudge. Addy turns around with a very stern look on her face and says "Don't push me!"

Daddy let the word "Stupid" slip out so Addy turns to him and says "Don't say that Daddy! You go to time out for 2 minutes!" After sitter there for a few second Adelynn turns to Daddy and says "Ok, you went to time out because" and mumbles something, then goes to him and says "say sorry". It's the cutest thing ever!

I again scold Addy for something. She calls from the other room "what are you saying to me old lady?"

The Girl in a Whirl by 'Dr. Sue'
( a.k.a.. Vickie Gunther)

Look at me, look at me, look at me now!
You could do what I do if you only knew how.
I study the scriptures one hour each day;
I bake, I upholster, I scrub, and I pray.
I always keep all the commandments completely;
I speak to my little ones gently and sweetly.
I help in their classrooms! I sew all they wear!
I drive them to practice! I cut all their hair!
I memorize names of the General Authorities;
I focus on things to be done by priorities.
I play the piano! I bless with my talents!
My toilets all sparkle! My checkbooks all balance!
Each week every child gets a one-on-one date;
I attend all my meetings (on time! Never late!)
I'm taking a class on the teachings of Paul,
But that is not all! Oh, no. That is not all .
I track my bad habits 'til each is abolished;
Our t-shirts are ironed! My toenails are polished!
Our family home evenings are always delightful;
The lessons I give are both fun and insightful.
I do genealogy faithfully, too.
It's easy to do all the things that I do!
I rise each day early, refreshed and awake;
I know all the names of each youth in my stake!
I read to my children! I help all my neighbors!
I bless the community, too, with my labors.
I exercise and I cook menus gourmet;
My visiting teaching is done the first day!
(I also go do it for someone who missed hers.
It's the least I can do for my cherished ward sisters.)
I chart resolutions and check off each goal;
I seek each "lost lamb" on my Primary roll.
I can home-grown produce each summer and fall.
But that is not all! Oh, no. That is not all
I write in my journal! I sing in the choir!
Each day, I write "thank you's" to those I admire.
My sons were all Eagles when they were fourteen!
My kids get straight A's! And their bedrooms are clean!
I have a home business to help make some money;
I always look beautifully groomed for my honey.
I go to the temple at least once a week;
I change the car's tires! I fix the sink's leak!
I grind my own wheat and I bake all our bread;
I have all our meals planned out six months ahead.
I make sure I rotate our two-years' supply;
My shopping for Christmas is done by July!
These things are not hard; 'tis good if you do them;
You can if you try! Just set goals and pursue them!
It's easy to do all the things that I do!
If you plan and work smart, you can do them all, too!
It's easy!" she said
and then she dropped dead.
