want a good laugh?

If anyone would like a nice, hard laugh, you are welcome to come sit in our Sacrament Meeting next week and watch me try to keep a sleeping baby asleep and a 2-year-old from screaming when he wants no one but his mom and dad.  Oh yeah, and the other 3 are there, too.  All while my wonderful husband sits helplessly looking on from the stand and actually gets to hear more than two words that are being said.  I promise - you'll get a good laugh.

Today was my first week sitting in Sacrament Meeting with the kids since Asia was born.  I had to hand Asia off  to Sara and leave with Miles because he is two and was throwing a fit.  Then I had to take Asia out to change her diaper and try to get her to sleep.  Miles didn't like that so he ran out after me and Sara had to chase after him and make sure he got to me.  And then when we got back into the chapel I had to make sure no one did anything Miles didn't like so he wouldn't start yelling.  And keep Miles from wiggling under the benches to the one behind us and keep him from running away when he made out into the aisle. And, I actually wanted to bear my testimony today but didn't get to because of it all.  Let's be honest, I left in tears.

Thank goodness for Sara.  And for Sis. Young who sits with us each week and totally understands (she had 10 kids and her husband was never able to sit with them during church).  She keeps Kamri entertained and the older two are pretty good at just sitting there and listening.  Sara turned to me during Sacrament Meeting today and said, "What would you do without me?"  I honestly don't know.

I know I'll figure this all out.  But today was hard.  Maybe I'll be sick next week ;)



Well, that was kind of a bummer.  I'll leave you on a high note:
She sure did look cute today.  This was the first time she wore anything other than a sleep 'n' play (basically pajamas). There's just something so cute about  a little baby in a dress.

Mmmmm, popcorn and a movie.

 Beautiful baby
