"What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Out of the mouth of babes.
Well the other night we had hot dogs for dinner and Shaunee asked if hot dogs were the hangy down part on cows that the milk comes out. LOL
Justin has been talking about good guys and bad guys and heaven for some reason. Last night he had gone with his aunt Karla to her school where she teaches and on the way home he was asking about bad guys. Well he gets home and sits down on my lap and asks if we are going to heaven tomorrow. I said, "No we weren't going to heaven for a long time." He then asked me " Does everyone go to heaven?" I said, "Yeah." Well his comment to that was "Good guys go heaven" and in a very serious voice said, "Bad guys go to hell." Where he learned that I have no idea.

City Of Rocks--Almo, Idaho
At the beginning of the month we went the City of Rocks in Almo, Idaho. Grandma Lainey came and spent the weekend with us and we took her there, as she had never been. Grandpa Rick was supposed to come, but he had to work. We had a lot of fun climbing on the rocks and exploring. We climbed up on "bathtub rock" and we saw the Twin Sisters, Elephant rock, and a lot more. It was fun to see cactuses.

If I die before you wake.
This is absolutely awesome! This soldier video is new and different. It is moving and heart warming. Enjoy and pass it on! Three soldiers wrote the song and put this together in their 'free time' over there. The Singer needs a Recording Contract when he comes home!
Kids say the darnst things continued.........
The other day we were driving through a small town and we were on the outskirts of it and a dog ran out in front of me and I had no time to react......Well I said, "Dang it" and Shaunee asked me what was wrong and I told her that I just hit a dog. She asked. me if I hit it on purpose and I said, "Of course not", and she said, "Nice speed bump huh."
Last night we went to Albertsons to get the awesome deal on cereal they had and Shaunee wanted me to carry her and I told her that I couldn't carry her as my back hurt and she said, "I think that your back hurts cuz you have one big zit. LOL
Last night on the way home from the store I was talking to Karla, Joe sister and asked her if Joe was hard on shoes when he was little ( Just bought Justin a pair of new shoes and already need to buy him new ones). She said that she doesn't know about Joe, but Jana was and still is hard on shoes. Shaunee in a very loud voice says, "Jana steeled shoes."

Happy Birthday to Justin!
It is hard to believe how fast time flys. Justin turns 4 today. When I was pregnant with Justin, we were living in Joe's parents house in Elba, Idaho while they were on their mission. Joe was working for Simplot in Caldwell, ID and would come home on the weekends. My pregnancy with Justin was pretty easy, except as usual I was a nervous wreck. Towards the end of the pregnancy I was getting nervous because I wasn't feeling him move like I thought I should. They ended up doing an amneio. to see if his lungs were developed enough. They were and he was born May 6, 2004 and 7:32 AM and weighed 9lbs. He was three weeks early and weighed 9 lbs. He is a fun boy! He is into Cowboys, transformers, "Cars", Spider man, and whatever it is he is thinking about that day. Happy Birthday Justin!
