You're so sassy

Gordon has been really sassy lately. Most of the time it is not funny but sometimes it really is. Like the other night. We had to go pick up daddy's car at work so he could drive to Twin Falls tomorrow. We left it there over the weekend because he came home with us. It was getting close to bed time so Gordon was trying to stall. He wanted to go for a drive and he was telling us where to go. We obliged for about 5 minutes but then I started telling him we needed to get home. Here is our conversation:

G: I am in charge and I make decisions

M: No, I am the boss.

G: No, we are going this way

M: Okay, how about we go over the big hill and then we will go home.

G: Okay, but I am not going to bed

M: You don't have to go to sleep but you do have to get in your bed

G: I will just get out of my bed

M: Then I will put you back in bed with no books

G: I will just get out of bed again

M: Then I will give you vinegar

G: Then I will throw up on you.

M: Then I will give you a spanking

G: Then I will give you a spanking

I couldn't help but laugh. Then I told him that I was in charge and he better do as I say or else...

All About Eddie

I have realized that Edison does not get much face time on this blog and it is really not fair. So, this is going to be a mega-Eddie post, with lots of pictures.

Edison is talking more and more but still not where I would like him to be. We are working with a speech therapist twice a month and we did a hearing test on his ears last week and the right ear could not get an accurate reading so we are going to try again next time. She thinks there may just be too much wax in his ear. And I could believe that! Edison leaks everywhere. His nose is always runny, you don't want to be near him when he sneezes, we are always cleaning wax out of his ears, and I don't know if you recall him as an infant--drool galore! I had a friend in Logan tell me that she knew an adult man that still had drooling problems. I pray that is not the fate for my little Eddie. Anywho...

Edison loves to snuggle which makes me so happy. Gordon was done with snuggling when he was like 12 months, but has now grown into liking it again! But Eddie has always loved to snuggle. I love putting him down for naps because he will let me hold like he is my little baby. Edison loves to give kisses. One on each cheek, so powerful they almost knock you over. And one on the lips.

We made a video the other day to send to Katie on her mission

Long time no see

I know it has been a ridiculously long time and I hate when I let it get like this because then I don't know where to pick up. There have been so many times I have sat down to write a post and I just wasn't feeling it. Ya, know? There was even a plethora of times when my kids did something cute and I thought, "I've got to blog about this." But I didn't. And now I don't remember. But let me tell you. My kids are cute! Currently they are outside standing on the fence watching our neighbor mow his lawn. Do you think he minds that two little boys love to watch as he "lawn the mow" as Gordon says it.

I will tell you one funny story that happened just this last Saturday night. I have been looking for a printer for awhile now. I want a laser printer because I heard that they will give you the most ink for our cartridge (more pages printed per cartridge). Anyway, I have lived this whole married life of mine without a printer (can you believe that!) and I finally said "NO MORE!" So I really started looking seriously online for a printer. (This is becoming a really long, boring story isn't it?) Okay, I will get to the funny part. I found an all-in-one printer at Office Max that was 50% off. It had really great reviews and we decided this was the one for us. Well, we called the Office Max in the big city (you know, Twin Falls) and made sure they had one in stock, they had 5, but the sale was ending that day. So we threw the kids in the car and headed to the big city. We arrived at 7:02 pm. They close on Saturday at 7:00 pm. I was not about to go home empty handed, so I started banging on the window. Oh yes I did! I pleaded my case in front of two employees while the rest watched on and they let me in. Praise the heavens! And on that note my dear friends I will leave you.
