The 3 Wisemen

We have been missing in action.
My computer was closed for renovations.
My brain was in desperate need of an upgrade.
My world is a little upside down,
Working all night has me all spun around.

Now that my computer has been restored to health
All pictures have been uploaded for my reminiscing wealth
Every picture of the boys is a joy to my heart
Many stories to tell, where shall I start?

So I'll begin with Brian who is soon turning 8
Please Come and help us Celebrate

I feel it is time to get you apprised...
December 26th, 4pm He'll be baptized

He has now received 3 awards in only 2 years
His Character Counts, he shines among his peers

Mr. Responsible
Mr. Trustworthy
Mr. Respectful too
If you say a bad word, he'll chastise you
He's thoughtful and kind, he knows just what to say
He could chase away any sort of bad day

You might be surprised to hear what we've been doing
Occasionally, there has been trouble a brewing

While visions of sugar plums should have been dancing in their heads
Two young boys were busy jumping off the top of bunk beds

4 year old boys are NOT to be trusted
When they encourage 2 year old jumping a head might get busted
Lincoln regularly reminds us of that day
"Fiffin told me jump. Bad dea," is just what he'll say

That is right Lincoln. That was a bad idea and the result wasn't nice.
Sadly, we have overcome stitches, not once, but twice!

Griffin learned the hard way, 1980's magnetic checkerboards that come in boxes
MUST remain in their boxes because the board edges are razor sharp foxes!
Griffin earned a bravery toy.
After getting the stitches, it was nothing but joy.


These boys enhance my life in more ways than I could possibly know
Isn't there a potion that would slow how quickly they grow!

Now our little baby is the star of the show
How did he get this old? Where did the time go?!

You are back with out a skipped beat. There is the Wendy know, love and love to read. Always ready with a jingle of sorts. Sad to remember the dark days of stiches, I'm glad those days are over for a few minutes at least.

Oh, I love this post!!! Wonderful wonderful!

Your boys are so wonderful, and each so very different and charismatic in their own ways. And all three FULL TO THE BRIM with love. What a priceless blessing in your life!

When are you planning to have brians birthday party since he is being baptized on his bday?

The boys are growing so fast and they are all so sweet and handsome (just like their parents!). Can't wait to see them all. Didn't know that Fiffin cut his hand--when did THAT happen? Kisses to all our brave little soldiers! See you soon. Love you!

Double stitches, that's brutal!! Your boys are adorable in the top photo. Love it tons. Merry Christmas

Cute boys! I have 5 kids and have never had to have any stitched up. Boys are definitely different than girls!

I wish we could be there on the 26th -- to meet you all and wish well on such a special day. Oh, and I also wish I was in AZ any day in December (or January, February, March...) but alas... it is not possible.

So, with that -- have a wonderful holiday from all of us in NY. And please, boys -- no stitches!

Those pics were so precious! From smiles to stiches... a family unit is so strong and these kids could endure anything as a result!

Three boys... and you and your famly have come out well ahead of the game of ups and downs we call life.

Congrat's to Brian. 8 and not stepping to an official role at the chuch. We wish we were there!

Grizz & co.

Cute post, I'v missed you updating. I'm just sad that I JUST now read it, 'cause we could have come to the baptism. Boo!

Hey, I couldn't find your e-mail address so I'm leaving you a comment on your blog. :) I went to Noreen's open house on Thursday, and I won the raffle for the hostess benefits! Yay me!! :) Anyway, the catalog expires at the end of January and lots of stuff is retiring. Also, the special this month is buy one things at full price and get TWO things half off. I'm just putting in a little plug since it goes towards my hostess benefits, I have completely selfish motivation in telling you about the cool sales :) I don't know when Noreen wants to close the show, I thought I overheard her telling someone the other night that it was Monday, but she hasn't called me with any details yet.

Ok, sorry to try and sell you jewelry through your blog, I'm kinda lame :)

I, um, didn't want to have to do this, but I felt inspired in Church yesterday to confess to you that Brian left his pillow over at my house.

Hot Diggity Daws said...

Pass the Chips... WHAT???? I appreciate your honesty, but it is only fair to warn you that You had better sleep with one eye open!

Stop playing the victim, every time I ask to come back over you say you don't have time for me.
