Missions and Snorkels

Matt's parents received their mission call yesterday! They are going to BERLIN, GERMANY!! I am so excited for them. I am glad that we will be gone while they are gone. I don't think I could handle thinking about them eating Morrissa's pot roast without us!

Funny story, Ruby and Cooper were taking a bath the other night. Coop was lying on his back and a certain part of his anatomy was poking up. Ruby looked over and said, "Is that a SNORKEL? Can he breathe out of that?" I was crying because I was laughing so hard!

Craziness

This picture is sooo Cooper! It is hard to catch that kid!

I was getting out the next size of clothes and putting the things that were too little in a pile and Coop put his spiderman "uniform" in the pile all by himself! Even though that outfit is totally up his bum I almost cried. He is growing up so fast!

Newsflash! Ruby asked me to do her hair! She has let me do it twice now!
It was a dream come true!

This is our new favorite activity. Water in a pan with a squirt of dish soap and a straw will keep my dudes busy for hours!

We are still on the waiting list for North Carolina. My guess is that we will end up in Indiana. We are thinking about selling our house. It kills me, but it would be nice to be able to pay for school. I just wish I knew what would happen for sure!

Happiness

My cousin, whose daughter is in the hospital, has the greatest quote on her blog. If you can't see the bright side of life, than polish the dull side! I love that. Life is often rough, but happiness is a CHOICE! My favorite scripture is 2Nephi 5:27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness! I love that. We have made it our family scripture. I have asked Ruby to remind me of that when I am not as pleasant as I should be (which is too often)!
