Another week/month/two months/whatever of work, meetings, callings, sick kids, cleaning, cooking, and all the glamour that comes with it. We realize it's been awhile since we posted and are convinced you have been sitting on the edge of your seat dying to know what's going down in Idaho Falls. So here it is:

Kamron continues to love school, we're beginning to realize this is mostly for the social aspect. She's becoming quite the social butterfly. We are blessed to have tons of kids on our street, there is a constant stream of kids in and out of the house. Boys are no longer the enemy, she's realizing they can be fun fun to play with too. Secretly we were hoping this wouldn't change until she was 30, but what can you do? On the bus the other day a boy told her she was "hot". She looked at him in annoyance and said, "do I know you?" Later he told her she was hot again, this time she said thanks, to which he replied "you're welcome hot girl." I don't know who this kid thinks he is trying to hit on MY little kindergartener, but it has to stop, we are not prepared to deal with such things at his time. Luckily she seemed mostly annoyed by the conversation. Her latest and greatest news is that she lost her first tooth. She wanted to show Grandma & Grandpa, so here she is. She now has two more loose teeth, she can hardly stand the anticipation as it can be quite a lucrative business.

Here a few Jaxon quotes for your entertainment.

"I only like spaghetti with candy in it."



After using the toilet he peered inside and exclaimed,"Mom, there's two in there! This just keeps getting better and better!"

Here's a classic: We are on our way to Utah when Jaxon decides he has to pee NOW. He's squirming in his seat and starting to panic. Ryan begins yelling, "Get him a cup!" Luckily we were close to an exit. We pull off and into the gas station. Of coarse his shoes are off so Tiff grabs him out of the car, knocking out some papers. She quickly sets Jaxon down, picks up the papers and throws them back in the car. She turns around to find Jaxon with his pants around his ankles relieving himself on the sidewalk in front of the store. Mortified she climbs back in the car and waits for him to finish.

Jaxon woke up one morning after wetting the bed.
His dad asks, "Jaxon, why did you wet the bed?"
"I didn't Dad, I wet my pants."
"Yes, but feel the bed it's wet right here."
"Yeah, but feel my pants they're wet right here."

Calista is way too cute. She doesn't talk much - mama, daddy, shoes, and banana. Hey, what more do you need really? She is very animated, has the cutest facial expressions. We can usually tell what she wants by her grunts, pointing, and faces. She babbles constantly, but no actual real words, we think it's adorable and feel she's growing up too fast, so we don't really mind if she needs to be a baby a bit longer. She's been going to nursery for awhile now. I wouldn't say she loves it, but she tolerates it well. We just dump her off and go, several times when we've come to pick her up she's been asleep. Which is great for the nursery leaders, but means Mom's not getting a nap later.

Ryan and Tiff - we feel like we're constantly crazy busy, but don't really know what we do. Besides the 50 hours a week that are dedicated to Wal-Mart, Tiff's involvement in the Young Womens, Ryan's calling in the Elders Quorum Presidency, volunteering at Kamron's school, working our business, visiting family, and hanging out with our friends, we just don't know where our time goes. Tiff has decided the only way to keep the house from falling to pieces around us is to hire a maid. Since that's not happening anytime soon, there will be crumbs on the floor, dishes in the sink, and dirty clothes in the hamper. Just counting down the days until the kids are old enough to take on all household responsibilities.
