OK so Joey saw me writing the blog and just had to Write something! He is getting excited about writting things! So the note above is from Joey.. The PS at the end means I love you, He learned about writting a PS but he doesn't understand that not how it is used..I figured I wouldn't correct it until he was older..right now it is really cute!!

Kids say the Darnest things!!

So most of you know that my son Joey, is very honest a little guy. Well his school teacher received a promotion and has moved on, he now has a permanent sub for the remaining days of the school year. Well the kids in the class deiced that they needed to get new folders with the sub (Mrs. Tuck's) name on them, since (Mrs. Ogden) wasn't there any longer. So Joeys asks Mrs. Tuck if she would buy blue folders. Blue is Joey's favorite color (at least for now)! Mrs. Turk said, We will have to see what the store has. Joey then says to Mrs. Tuck that if she gets a blue folder that he will never whine again! Mrs. Tuck, says WOW that sounds pretty good to me, No whining! Then Joey goes on to say that he will never whine again, Well actually he won't whine until he gets married. Mrs. Tuck then ask Joey's why til he is married. With out missing a beat Joey says, "well I might whine at my wife, you know I am gonna whine at her every once in a while". I got the biggest kick out of this!! Mrs. Tuck said that this was one of the things that was going to go down in the record books as most memorable moments! The store didn't have the blue folders, they only had orange folders, but at least we got a good laugh out of it!

What goes through a 8 year old mind?

So the other evening Joey came in our room and says that he has a sore in his mouth and it really hurt. He tells me that he needs a drink to make it better. So i told him to go into the kitchen and get a warm drink of water (I told him to put the faucet on hot so that it would be warm). So a few minutes go by and walked into the hallway to get something and Joey comes by me quickly and he has the guilty look on his face. Then I notice the chocolate mustache on his face, I asked him if he got the warm water like he was told? He says yes, then I asked him about the milk mustache? He says that he thought it would be OK to get a glass of chocolate milk and then put Hot water in it to make it a warm drink. He then tells me "it doesn't taste very good, don't try it mom"! Being the great mom that I am, I just started to laugh my head off, what was he thinking??? Well he did attempt to listen with the warm water but he added his own flare to it!! Boys, this life is only going to be a better journey with him!! I love my bubba!!

Joey's New Tent

Joey's friend Josh gave him this tent that goes over his bed and then you can zip it up and down so that you really feel like you camping out! Joey has totally loved this! He goes to sleep every night under the tent and loves his new "bed"!!








Big or Small boys love to play in a tent.. Joe had to show Joey that he was not to big to be in the tent!! So they both jump in the tent and play for a few moments! Good old time playing and the best part was that it didn't cost me a DIME!! Thanks Johns family Joey loves his new TENT!!

Joey's Pack Meeting

Joey got two belt loops and another bead!! He has been so excited to do Cub Scouts and he is so ready to get his belt loop!! I tried to get him to look at me but he wouldn't do it! Oh well what are you going to do!!

There is Peace on Earth

I went to the Oakland Temple last Friday and it was such a peaceful experience. I love to go and just walk on the grounds and enjoy what the Lord has blessed us with. I did get to go and do intitatories for a little while but I just had to take a moment and enjoy the grounds. That day was very cold and dark but the Temple still had beautiful flowers and was so just "PEACEFUL"! I enjoyed every minute of it!!

Boys and their Toys!!

Joe got to take Joey to the gun range! At eight years of age the kids are able to go to the gun range and shoot!! Joey has waited for SOOOO long according to him!! He was so excited and just PROUD that he finally gets to go with his DAD to the gun range!! Boys never get tired of their toys!!
