Star Light, Star Bright...

I wish I may, i wish I might, have this wish, I wish tonight.

Is what Reid said tonight with the first (and only due to clouds) star he saw tonight...

Me: What's your wish?
Reid: what?
Me: What do you wish for? What do you want to happen or have?
He thinks about it...
Reid: What is that thing that squirts blood out of it's eyes?
Me: A Horned Lizard?
Reid: YEAH! I wish I was a Horned Lizard.
Me: Why do you want to be a Horned lizard?
Reid: So that I can squirt blood out of my eyes and make more horned lizards.
Me: OK!

Today I...

Felt the cool breeze

Listened to the wind blow

Admired at the beautiful nature all around me

Saw pure excitement on Lliam's face as he reeled in his first fish!

Watching enjoyment all over Reid's face as he cast, hooked and reeled in all of his fish.

Enjoyed a morning out on Mantua (pronounced Maneay) lake with the family and Alta.

Took a nap

Played race, Duck Duck Goose, Obstacle Course, Watermelon Watermelon (remember that game my family?), tag, wrestling and on the playground with my boys (they definitely have short attention spans but never at a loss for energy!)

Listened to my boys laugh

Watched my boys play well together

Promise to have more days soaking in the joys of my boys!

Children Are My Business

Some of you may know that I have always wanted to start up my own preschool...and hopefully soon I'll be able to do that. However, there are a few things I need to do in order to achieve my goal. The first thing is to get my Bachelor Degree, this I will be doing starting September 8th. It's a Dual Concentration Program in Infant/Toddler and Preschool Development/Education!
I am so excited to get this going!

Also, I feel like I need to show my future parents (of the children I will be teaching) what kind of a teacher I am and how much I love what I am doing. So I have designed a blog to better do this.
It is...

This way, wherever we move to, anyone will be able to know my reputation. So check it out! I'll be posting some weekly lessons, good reads for kids and other fun and developmental information!

Where Babies Come From

We ask the boys all the time where we got them from because they are just too funny and crazy! Jed asked lliam where we got him from and he said, "From Chuckie Cheeses!"
Reid knows the answer (he always says from my mommy's tummy).

Enchanted

Recently we watched the movie Enchanted and today when we got home from church Reid went into the little 'cabin' that's in the back yard, opened the window and sang, "Ah-a-a-a. Ah-a-a-a, calling all the animals!

Amazed

I am always amazed when I hear Reid or Lliam answer questions directed to them. I always wonder, 'When did he learn that? or "That's been so long ago since we talked about that." The minds these boys have are amazing and are still growing. Now is the time to be teaching them, they are so eager to learn (not to mention their brain is growing again at this age). Plus the many cute things they come up with on their own, some not even making any sense.
For example, today Reid said that we needed more girls in the family (i'm training him well!) and Jed asked why, Reid's reply was so that everyone would have their own toothbrush! Doesn't make much sense to us but I'm sure he has a logical reason that only he would understand!
I want to start writing down more of what they say. I forget too easily and am definitely not up for Mother of the Year, so I'd like to remember those good times more and more. So hopefully you'll get to enjoy some fun insight from my boys and learn more of what they see the world as! It's a completly different place!
