Happy Valentine's Day!

Robert closes tonight so we had no romantic plans. I decided to host a fun boys night instead. We invited over a few friends and had heart shaped pizza and heart sugar cookies. They are playing video games and having a great night.

Actually said at my house this morning...

Today was Scout Sunday. So that means Trevor, Jacob and I wore our Scout uniforms to church. It is an even busier Sunday morning than usual because neckerchiefs and slides have to be straightened and I didn't have all of Jake's awards on his uniform so I was trying to fix that before church. With 9AM church Luke has taken to not getting up on Sundays so then we are in a mad dash out the door. Last Sunday I actually dressed him still asleep and took his breakfast with us so he could eat it after sacrament. (Rob worked so it was just me and 3 boys).
Anyways now we are to this morning. Trevor and Jake were finally ready, awards on uniforms, shirts tucked in and neckerchiefs straight. I was finally starting to get ready. Luke was awake but not dressed. Rob was trying to help him, but Luke wanted me. So here is the conversation...
Me (as I am putting on makeup) " Let Dad help you get ready. I can't help you, because I am busy making myself beautiful."
Rob "Yeah let me get you dressed, Mom needs all the time she can get."
To his credit he says he didn't mean it the way it came out, he was trying to get Luke ready for church and he has been very good about doing laundry today after church but he did say that I "need all the time I can get" to make myself beautiful so I think he is still in the dog house.

Life with boys!

I am not sure if this is everyone's life with boys or just mine. This is what I discovered today...

Luke stripped(his clothes were inside in the bathroom) and then decided he wanted to jump on the trampoline. Jake thought nothing of this and didn't think he should let me know. Then after I found him I decided I needed blackmail pictures and so I got the camera and started taking pictures. After a few pictures Luke saw me and said "Mom I naked" gave me two thumbs up and went right on jumping! I grabbed his clothes cause I didn't want anyone calling CPS on me. Some days I don't know if I will survive that youngest one!

Jake is student of the month!

Luke and I got to go see Jake get the student of the month award for determination. He is a good student and his teacher raves about him!

I am seeing stars!

I have been seeing a lot of stars lately (and no its not because of my black eye, that already went away). I am getting ready for the Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet and we wanted stars for decorations. So we got a little paper and I put my cricut and CM star punches to good use. I have cut out 1574 stars so far! The stars range in size from 1" to 5 1/2". Hopefully I won't have to do too many more.

Truth is SOOO much funnier than fiction

OK I could make up a story that Luke threw a toy at me, I fell down or Rob hit me but none of those would be as funny as the truth. My Dad decided I should learn to shoot. We started with the BB gun and Pellet gun. Short of "your gonna shoot your eye out" What could go wrong???
I am generally not a klutz, but we all have our moments. Well I am right handed, but left eye dominant. So shooting the Pellet gun(with a scope) was hard to do. To be able to see through the scope I was in a weird position. Anyways one time I shot and my eye was to close to the scope and I actually gave myself a black eye. It's ok you can laugh it is pretty funny!

My dad didn't want me going home with a bad experience so he took me to the shooting range. I shot a lot of different guns and did good. My dad was smart though, he left all the scopes at home!

Merry Christmas!

The blog is unfortunately as close as the Edwards Family got to Christmas cards this year so we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We had fun at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The boys were excited to see their cousins and teach Grandpa how to play the Wii he got for Christmas.
