This last week

Thomas did not want to miss my birthday, so he got a little excited and sent it a couple of weeks earlier.... Which is great! I will really enjoy reading Maxwell's book on my road trip to Utah this weekend, and I will of course by practicing some delicious baked-goods from the Lion House recipe book, and be ready to make it for Thomas when he gets here in a few weeks. It really is great, it even came with a DVD, so if I am Totally lost, I can just find it on the DVD! The Calendar is full of beautiful pictures from Joesph Smith's life. Great present, I am so Excited!! This actually happened a few weeks ago, but this was the first of many "accidents" Hyrum has had at Grandma Anna's house. He just laid down behind the coach, none of us aware of it, and started kicking the lamp until it fell and broke.... Oh Hyrum, what a talent you have.
We had to make a weekend trip to Thatcher to take care of a terrible tooth that was really bothering Kirtlyn. This is actually the after picture, if you look closely, you can see a silver crown on her back left muller. She is so proud of her "silver tooth!"
She was So excited to sit in the the "moving chair," she was really like no one you have ever seen at a dentist office before. She just loved it. During her whole procedure she just wanted to know what was going on, she would tap the dentist on the arm every few minutes asking him what he was doing, and why. She just had to know how it all worked, it was so sweet to know that the biggest problem we had in the dentist office was that she was curious, I'll take it! That was a blessing, and everything went so well!
Her cusion gave her a pair of sun-glasses to guard from the "bright" dentist light.
Grandpa Biggs got a new toy, and the boys could Not leave it alone all weekend in Thatcher. It is all they wanted to do the entire time!
I got to see busy Allison during our short Thatcher visit, she is just a great girl!
Hyrum, Thomas, Carson, and Lindsey just enjoying some time together over the weekend!
Carson and Thomas have come to a new level of friendship and playing. They have both really grown up and learned to do a lot of sharing so they could enjoy playing together more. And somehow they managed to wear the exact same blue hooded tops, and looked just a like all weekend.
It was freezing cold, and I was begging them to stay inside, but they would not leave the gator!!
Back in Mesa, Aunt Patricia really knows how to play a game of cards, and the kids loved learning go fish with her. Now they play very well, even on their own.
Hyrum is just great at leaving his mark, and poor grandma's blanket and floor did not see the "make-over" coming. He is blessed with a forgiving grandma Knudsen, that is no lie.


Hyrum is probably the best at talking on the phone with dad in Mexico, he just never stops talking! We love it!
We had a great time meeting with my sister Dawn, and an old friend of ours, Jamie Guthrie. Thomas had so much fun, he took his lunch up on the toy, he didn't want to miss a second of play time.
