We are entering our final round of the terrible two's (I don't think the two's are so bad-three's are much worse in my 0pinion). Gideon had his second birthday this last week. Two years ago on February 10th, I missed Corban's 4th grade program because I delivered a baby that day. This year on February 10th, I made it to Kjerstin's 4th grade program. She did a great job! She sang a song with 2 other girls. She is in the above picture with her bonnet and glasses. They are studying Idaho History this year in school and the play was called "Go West!" While watching her perform on Gideon's birthday, I had many memories drift back through my mind. I remember the superbowl coming and passing. I remember thinking I would be pregnant forever! Fast forward two years and Gideon has brought so much joy into our lives. He has done things none of our other kids have done. Kids are so unique, and although I know this it is a surprise each time. He is full of smiles. I had a lady ask me this morning if he always smiles. He is a sweet boy. We celebrated the 12th because Bridger was out of town. He had a baseball cake because he really likes cars, balls, and Baby Einstein. I was glad he recognized his cake was a ball. The red frosting and I were not friends. He is saying new words everyday and growing by leaps and bounds. My heart already feels full just thinking of what a special little boy he is. This is ready to springboard me forward to Valentines Day to show all 5 little monkeys living in this house (and their Dad) that I love them very much! Kjerstin is making a purse for her Valentines box for school. We will post photos when it is done.
Just a bit about me. I set a goal to read all of the standard works cover to cover this year. I am so struggling with the Old Testament. While I know the Old Testament is important, it makes me so grateful for the Book of Mormon. I am stuggling to keep my schedule on track. It is just too hard to force myself to read Law of Moses some days. I had whined to Bridger and those in a close enough perimeter. I have also used many biblical metephors to those in a close enough perimeter. So you may want to keep your distance.
I decided I needed a new look. I cut my hair short again. Bridger is a peach. When he met me, I had short hair. It isn't his favorite but he never says anything. I just needed a change. I need to post a picture of that, too!
