The Rootbeer Song

This is what I sang for our family night talent time!!

The Root Beer Song
(Sing to the tune of: “Do-re-mi”)
Do (Dough) – I use to buy my root beer,
Re (Ray) – The guy who pours my root beer,
Mi (Me) – The guy who drinks my root beer,
Fa – A long way to the john,
So – Let’s have another root beer,
La – Lot' s and lots of root beer,
Ti (Tea) – No thanks, I’m having root beer,
That’s why I have no
dough, dough, dough, dough.
(repeat)

2011 Highlights

Hogi went to the Dr. Yesterday. He got 4 shots. He even figured out how to pull them off by himself last night at bathtime! He only weighs 20 lbs.! We love this little man!We got a new pediatrician! She is AMAZING! Check her out! I would recommend her to EVERYONE that needs a better one or a new one!

car show & Snuggles

A couple weekends ago we went to the car expo show and they had fun jeeps for the kids to ride. I think the kids went like 4 or 5 times. This is one of their all time favorite things to do! The funniest part was watching and listening to some boy standing next to us that were jr. high aged. They kept laughing at Hunter and saying "Look at that Cool kid! He's so awesome he keeps running into all the other kids with his jeep!" We got a kick out of that. They had super fun jumping in all the cars too! We got to go to in and out burger afterwards!

A Cold January morning snuggling on the couch!

Love this quote!

"I testify to you this day that the time will come when every man, woman, and child will look into the Savior's loving eyes. On that day, we will know with a surety the worth of our decision to straightway follow Him."

--Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Follow Me", Ensign, May 2002

I found this quote on a lady's blog that is LDS. So awesome :) It put a smile on my face!
