The pictures never end!

Last week after I spent what felt like forever catching up on pictures I told Keith I was never taking a picture again.  I think I went a whole day, but I can't be sure!  Hallee loves riding around on her horse lately.  She says, "wee."  Today I let her sit in the back of the shopping cart and she yelled, "wee" the whole time it was so cute.

Hallee helps herself to everything around the house.  Here she is trying to curl her eyelashes.

Jonah is so cute!  Here he is playing on the ground with Hallee.  He loves to make her laugh.   The other day he told me that if I died he would be really sad.  I don't know why, but he has been really sentimental lately. 

Caitlyn has a heart of gold.  We were getting her tithing ready and she had over double what Jonah had.  I knew she hadn't earned that much money.  She told me that she has been putting extra in.  I told her she could take some out because she didn't need to pay that much.  She said, "people are more important than money mom, I want to help."  Seriously, this girl would do anything for anyone.  She donated a couple of dollars to fast offering and a couple of dollars to the missionary fund.  That is a lot of money to her.

Caitlyn and Jonah both have signs on their door.  I have been meaning to take pictures of them for a while.  They fit their personalities so well.  The bottom one says, "I am the ruler and queen of this room.  You have to be nice to me and every one else to enter this room."  Caitlyn is very sensitive to other peoples feelings, so when other people are rude to her it is really hard for her.  One of her best friends has been rude to her lately because Caitlyn wanted to play something different at recess with some other kids.  Caitlyn has talked to me about it, but I thought it was getting better.  Caitlyn spent the night at grandma's with all of her girl cousins on Friday.  My mom said Caitlyn started crying at bedtime and told them that she was sad because her friend was being mean to her and calling her names.  My mom said it was so sweet because they all were comforting Caitlyn and telling her how sweet and nice she is.  I love that she has wonderful family to make her feel good. 

Jonah's signs fit him well.  My favorite is the one that says, "This is my hand, if you do not follow the rules this hand will grab you and punch you in the face."  There is quite a difference between their signs!  Jonah and Wyatt are sharing a room, but Wyatt doesn't sleep which means Jonah wasn't sleeping.  I don't know what Wyatt's problem is, but he wakes up almost every night.  Once in a while we will have a week or so where he sleeps every night, but that isn't normal.  It is killing me.  I am a wimp when it comes to sleep.  I need my sleep!  I can usually get him back to bed pretty quick, but then I can't fall asleep.  Jonah has been sleeping in Caitlyn's room so he isn't woken up every night. 

If Wyatt wasn't so cute, I might be mad at him every morning when I can barely get out of bed.  Wyatt gets pretty grouchy when he is tired.  He gets really upset over little things, like the other day when I told him to get in the car and he was screaming and saying, "it's not a car, it's a van!" 

Hallee's teeth are finally breaking through.  Poor girl is getting a ton of teeth right now.  The top two are finally in and one more on the bottom for a grand total of five teeth!  She is working on all of her molars and three other teeth right now. 

This is how I found Hallee this morning.  I need to start putting her in onsies every night so she can't get to her diaper.

Hallee's hair is getting so long.  I always pull it up or else it is in her face. 

We had a nice week last week.  Keith took Thursday off of work because he had to work on Saturday.  We dropped the older two off at school and then dropped the younger two off at Tiff's and went to breakfast.  It was so nice.  Keith has been really stressed at work so I tried to make it a nice, relaxing day for him.  It was so nice to get out that we decided to go out again on Saturday night.  We took all the kids to Keith's parents and went to dinner.  Two dates in a week is unheard off for us!

The scouts put a flag in our yard today for Veterans day.  Wyatt loves when we get flags.  I really am so grateful for our wonderful military.  It makes me sick that the government would stop paying them when they shut down.  All of the crazy things going on in the world sure makes me nervous.  I'm still baffled as to why anyone would support Obama.  It is scary how much damage he can cause our country.  We never watch the news because I really don't want to hear about it, it just stresses me out!  I am grateful to live in a free country and hope that it will continue to stay free!
