Ten On Tuesday!

OK I had some funny things that I needed to write down before I forget them. So I thought that I would do a Ten on Tuesday! Easiest way and they are so fun to go back and read.

1. On Sunday, Brianna had to say closing prayer in Primary. She knew it and told me about it Sunday morning. I told her that she says good prayers and that she can do it by herself. My girls get too shy and always want help with their prayers, even though they can say it by themselves. I told her to think about what she wants to say before then just go say it. Well, during Sacrament meeting she was busy writing things down on a paper. I didn't think anything of it, because we always let them write on paper. Richard said, that they called Brianna up to say the prayer. He said she walked up and stood at the pulpit and unfolded a piece of paper and read her prayer. Oh my, I about died of laughter. So cute! She did it all on her own. She is such a cutie!

2. I was driving bus in Raymond and DJ was a little grumpy and I told him we could go get a donut afterwards. Well he was so excited. He kept jumping up and down and yelling, "I love their muffets!" That's what he calls donuts! So funny! Well we went and they were in the middle of moving everything around in the store, so there were no donuts. He walked up to the bakery and put his forehead on the glass and just stood there. I had to bite my lip. It was kind of funny. The poor boy was heart broken. We got in the truck and he just sat there with his arms folded and his lip sticking out. Then two tears rolled down his cheeks. Aaawwww. I felt bad, but was so proud of him that he didn't throw a huge fit!

My cute little, "cool dude" with crazy hair!!

3. Abbi and Cadence told me yesterday that they wanted to do the FHE lesson. I told them OK. Richard was working late and I was getting supper ready and I was fine with them doing that. Well they went down and spent a while working on it. I helped them look up a scripture. Then we sat down at the table for the lesson. Richard had just gotten home, so he sat down too. They blew me away with their lesson. Wow!! It was on the creation and they did AWESOME! They had a piece of paper for each of us and told us what to draw for each day. They talked about it. Then they talked about what happened when Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit. Cadence loved giving us the lesson. So did Abbi. Richard asked me afterwards, how much I helped them. I told him I didn't do a thing. He was shocked too! My girls are growing up! So cute!

4. I had Brianna's Primary teacher, Sis. Jones, come up to me and tell me that Brianna was such a sweetheart. I guess Brianna wrote her teacher a note on her new stationary. It said, I love you, you are a good teacher. So stinking cute. Brianna loves to write everyone little messages. I get one often on my pillow. Love it! Anyways, Sis. Jones loved it so much that she put it in her journal!

5. Richard and I went to a primary teacher appreciation night last week. It was basically dinner and games. It was fun. We played Pictionary and we all had some good laughs. We were laughing really hard at Richard's picture. It was a Jaguar, but we all kept calling it a cow or deer. You probably had to be there, but it was super funny! I took a picture of his drawing!

There's his jaguar with flippers as feet!! Ha ha!

6. DJ has been going to speech once a week and loves it. He's doing really good with his speech. We are working on the "K" sound. He's doing awesome. He loves the activities that the speech teacher always has planned. He thinks it's so fun. I had to take a picture of the snowman he made!

After DJ said a work with the "k" sound properly then he got to put something on his snowman. He loved this game!

There's DJ cool looking snowman that he made!

7. We've had weird weather lately. It's been really nice out. So DJ and I went out one day to play in the snow. There wasn't very much snow and it was getting really warm out so I knew the snow wasn't going to last. So we worked hard to make a little snowman. Kai and Beck came out and helped us. It was fun.

There is Kai and Beck by our cool looking snowman!

DJ looks like a monster next to them!! Ha ha! Love his wolfie hat!

DJ diving off his big snowball! What a funny kid!

8. I watched Keira last Tuesday. It's always fun when she comes over. All my kids love it and so do I. She's such a happy girl. We took the kids to school and Keira and I came back home. We went back and got DJ and then came back and they both ran up and down the road. It was nice out and they had fun. Keira loved DJ's little craft table. She sat in there and colored and talked to herself. So cute! She's so cute when she naps here too. DJ would always go and check on her. Then he came and told me that he was laying down for a nap too! So cute!

DJ riding his scooter and Keira would run after him! A car came by us (I was holding her hand), then she started running after it yelling at the car!

Keira busy coloring and sucking on her sucker! Love her big blue eyes!

Keira sound asleep on Cadence's bed. She loved Cadence's new fluffy blanket. It was just like her bunny!

DJ laying down for a nap with all his stuffed animals. He stayed in there for about 20mins, he didn't sleep but it was a good quiet time!

9. I've had some crazy bus adventures lately. I've gotten stuck twice. The kids loved it! Me, not so much. I was able to get them to the school by 9am, so not too late. Another time I couldn't get the bus to go faster than 60km/hr. But it was super icy out and windy so I wasn't too worried, because I wasn't on the highway. But then I had to go to Spring Coulee later that morning and then it just conked out on me. So we had kids on the bus and we were pulled over on the highway. That was fun!! Then I drove a brand new bus and when I turned it off, in front of my house, it started beeping. I grabbed the back handle and opened and shut it. But then the horn started honking, louder and louder. I could not get it to turn off. I had to call Cardston and I guess I had to open the back door really wide. Sheesh, that was a little crazy! Oh the joys!

10. DJ had a bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night to eat something. So we have been having him eat a big bowl of cereal just before he goes to bed. It has been working really good. One night the girls decided they wanted a bowl of cereal too. It was cute seeing them all quietly eating their cereal! Funny kids!

All my kids ready for bed eating their cereal. This was Saturday night so they were all showered and clean!

Yum, yum!!

11. Cadence and Brianna came home from school last week with their own igloos that they made. They were so proud. It was super cute. So I took a picture of them holding their igloos. Then they happily ate their igloos!!

Cadence and Brianna so proud of their cute little igloos! Good job girls!

12. DJ and Abbi made a little castle out of a big box that their dad brought home. DJ insisted on having it brought upstairs. He will sit in it and watch his cartoons. So funny. He will ask for a snack and I will give it to him through the little hole. He loves his castle!

DJ's castle with the little peep hole!

DJ watching on the Ipad and drinking his hot chocolate milk. What a life!!

13. Ok I have to add one more. I have to say that my Brianna is like a little ghost sometimes. She, seriously, has scared me so many times, and not on purpose. It's always at night time when she's suppose to be in bed. Just tonight I was sitting on the couch with all the lights off. I had just logged onto my computer and heard a tiny sound. I looked to my left and there's Brianna standing right beside me. I screamed and about jumped out of my skin. Oh my!! So scary. I can't handle it! Ha ha! But she does this all the time. It's usually because she needs something, but she talks in a really tiny whisper at night and I can never hear her. She used to wake me up in the middle of the night by tapping me on the forehead. Over and over and over. I would be dreaming that someone was torturing me and wake up to Brianna tapping on my forehead. Oh I would usually wake up super annoyed!! Love her, but have told her not to wake me up like that if she wants me to be helpful instead of super grumpy! Ha ha! Talking about getting scared. The other morning I ran out to start the bus and was slowly walking back to the garage. I was thinking about my day and as I walked into the garage the lights went out. I stopped and thought to myself, "Oh man the light bulb burnt out." Then someone said, "Janae." And I screamed and almost fell back wards and was dancing around. It scared me so bad. Richard was just standing there. This is at 7:00am. When I left the house 5 mins earlier everyone was asleep. Man it about gave me a heart attack. Maybe I am a little bit jumpy! Ha ha!

So there, that gets us caught up on all the little things that have been happening.
