Hoppin' on the PRIVATE bandwagon!

So everyone has got me freaked out to the point of nightmares, so I am going to be making our blog private here pretty soon. If you want to be invited, just leave your email in the comments section, or email me at winnfamily4@juno.com.

So Much to be Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving. At this time of year, I always like to reflect on the things I am thankful for. I of course am so thankful for my husband and his love for me. I am thankful that Heavenly Father entrusts me with three of his beautiful children...I am thankful for their craziness and thankful that every night I go to bed completely exhausted from chasing them all day. And of course I am thankful for when John is home to take the kids up to bed....This year especially I am thankful to be able to LAUGH and hear the sound of sweet LAUGHTER.

I asked my kids what they are thankful for:

Hailey..with a sweet smile...my family and Jesus

Coleton...sleep..movies...and I don't know (tells you a whole lot about him)

Easton..(I took the liberty of helping him) Throwing food on the floor... screaming at strangers when they look at me in the store (who cares if I am cute and people are looking at me....I don't want them to.)

John...another one of the kids I guess...is thankful for his Family and BYU (my goodness....seriously John)

Way To Go Hailey!

Hailey choreographed and performed a dance for the REFLECTIONS contest at her school, and she won 1st place! Way to go Hailey....We are so proud of you!

Bye Bye BINKY

I think that it is TRUE...the more kids you have, the more laid back you become....I didn't let Hailey or Coleton stay attached to BABY stuff this long, but because Easton is my baby, he got to be one for longer.
I FINALLY took Easton's binky away yesterday. He is 15 months old, and honestly, if he would use words instead of scream when he wants something, he could have kept his binky FOREVER, but I am so ready for him to talk. Luckily, he has only asked for it twice...not with words, just the "b" sound and pointing to his mouth...followed of course by a very loud scream! But hip hip hooray it is gone and we made it through the first night....only 3 minutes of crying and then he slept until 6 am this morning!

The mind of a 3 year old

Coleton: "Mom, when is Jesus going to be home?"
Me: "Home????"
Coleton: "Yeah, when is he going to be at the church so I can see him?"
