Kids Say the cutest things!!!!

Yesterday at church the Primary Secratary was trying to ask Sarah to say the Opening Prayer she could not get her to answer Sarah did however ask her if she could get her a more interesting class because the one she is in is Boring.

She frequently tells me she wants to be 3 again so that she can have snack and play with toys after the Lesson.


Heidi thank you for sharing this with me and for thinking my kids are adorable.

Pictures out of order

So the pictures on Sarah's birthday post are out of order, and I do not have the time or energy to deal with editing them.

Tears of Joy

I just got an email from Dale he made it there safely. and he can IM when he is not working, what a Blessing that will be. as it is so hard not being able to see him and talk to him everyday!!!!!

Aidan

Aidan has really started to put sentences together really well.

On Sunday while we were getting ready for church Dale was in the Bathroom getting ready and Aidan was trying to talk to him so Dale started copying everything he said through the door. Aidan came running into the kitchen and said

"Mommy Daddy is Funny"


I just thought it was cute I had to share.

Waiting

As most of you know Dale left for his Deployment on Monday, he was stuck at his first stop before leaving the Country on wednesday evening. I have not heard from his since then, this is one of the things I hate most about Deployments the waiting until I hear from again, the waiting and not knowing whether he is ok. once he gets to the Base it takes him a day or 2 to in process and get his email contact address. I just hope to hear from him soon so that I know he is ok. the kids and I miss him so much already. it seems like the first week he is gone all I want to do is eat things that are bad for me but taste so good, and spend Money. I have done pretty good about not spending any extra money, but not so good about not eating things that are not good for me, which is not good because I am trying to lose all the weight I gained while I was pregnant with Connor. I am going to try and keep myself busy this weekend trying to get everything Ready for Sarah's 5th birthday on Monday.
