Last night I told Karaia and Beckham that they could get up this morning any time after 5 am. I was TOTALLY kidding! These are the two children of mine that will actually sleep in late. Apparently, however, Karaia set her internal clock and at 5:15am Karaia and Beckham were at the foot of our bed wide awake. And by wide awake, I mean Christmas morning wake. There was NO way they would go back to bed.
So we called my mom and Dave who wanted to be her to watch the magic and when they got here we woke the two little boys up. That's right. You read correctly. I willing woke Tennyson and Sanders up in the early morning hours.
Here's the short list of the gift run down:
Sanders: Mega Blocks Thomas train sets. He LOVES them!
Tennyson: an insanely MASSIVE amount of Legos. He could barley be bothered to eat.
Beckham: The big Harry Potter Castle Lego set. He loves that it is taking so long and it's so complicated ;)
Karaia: Furniture for her America Girl Doll. She is in Heaven.
Emilie: The next two books in The Mysterious Benedict Society series. YAY!!!
Kevin: A three tier cooling rack. I know it sounds lame, but I promise he likes it AND I got him LOTS of Resses Peanut Butter Christmas tress. AND Kevin and I don't need a ton or expensive things to be happy.
The rest of the day was mostly wonderful. Mid afternoon was a little rough because the lack of sleep totally took over a few personalities, but other than that it was nice.
We went to Grandma Candace and Grandpa Jim's house, then to the Francom's church, then back home for much needed naps, and rounded out the day with a very nice time at my Dad's.
All in all I'd call everything a success!
No time for relaxing though. Tomorrow is Kevin's birthday and I am bound and determined to make him feel as wonderful as he makes me feel!

Lights
We did it. We finally made it.
We plan every year to take our kids to see the lights on Temple Square. And for the past...oh, I can't even tell you how many....few years something or another comes up and we don't make it.
Well, tonight we did!
The weather was fantastic. The crowds? Well, let's call them "cozy". The kids really enjoyed all the lights. We had a family council after seeing the HUGE line to see the Christus and decided we will have a special family night in January and go back when there aren't so many people.
Beckham said, " I liked the nativity scene, seeing the Christus from outside, and being with my family!"
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Why, my sweet little tot...
"There's a light on this tree that won't light on one side. "
And that would be our tree.
But it's more like, there's whole rows on this tree that won't light on all sides.
I swear we checked them all before they were strung. Ask Sanders, he'll tell you. He was supper excited about the whole process.
On the silver lining side of things, I guess this mean new lights for the tree this year! Yay!
My kids were SO happy to be getting the tree up. Dance moves would break out spontaneously all afternoon.
My favorite was Sanders' dance WITH words, "Jump, jump, kick!"
Darling.
My favorite quote today came from Karaia. I've really been focusing on teaching the kids that I don't care if they get something perfect but I DO care if they try their best and they are their very best selves they can be. Karaia said, "Mom, was I my very best self today?"
Sweet little girl.

Thankful
With so many reasons to be thankful it is a challenge to begin writing anything.
Along with the usual family, home, etc. that I am thankful for, I am also thankful for this unique opportunity I have had of documenting my life this past year in such a public way. There have been some days that I have had to force myself to write. And others that writing has left my heart with peace. Also, the encouragement and support I have felt from YOU is incredible. It's odd to think that the year mark for this goal is coming up and I may not blog every day after that. We'll see if I can talk myself out of the guilt I just know I'll feel ;)
I hope you were able to recognize all you have in your lives and feel a deep sense of gratitude and contentment.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The fourth with pictures
We hosted a Fourth of July party at our house on Monday.
I love my yard for parties. Enough room for everyone to do what they want.
This year was especially fun because my sister, Annie, and her family was able to join us.

Greatness
Through out all of the ups and downs within a marriage, I have never once thought Kev was less than a wonderful dad.
He excels in this area.
The kids adore his company. There is just something about a Dad that is so much more fun than a Mom.
My kids are better people because of who their father is.
Which in turn makes me one very lucky girl.
Happy Father's Day, Kev.

Mother's Day
Kevin and the kids did an amazing job making me feel loved, understood, and appreciated.
It started with sleeping in, breakfast in bed enough to feed 10 people, and some sock slippers and cards from the kids. The cards were my favorite because Karaia and Beckham are at ages when they can think of there own script and not just copy words. Karaia told me she loves me, "as bad as a volcano irupts." Awesome.
Kevin has decided I need a new computer so I can actually see him again because the one I use now to design is SO slow! Hooray!
Church was wonderful. I love our ward.
Then we were able to touch base with all three of our Mothers today to tell them we love them and are grateful they are in our lives.
I was able to show my designs to the Daly side of the family today. They were well received which does this little soul so much good. Art is very subjective and you just never know what people will think.
Kevin's aunt, well my aunt too...I'm going to claim you, ok Denise?...., was there. She is a quilter and a good one at that. She has a great deal of experience and an amazing talent for it. She loved the designs! It was nice to hear it from the exact market I would hope would like them. She also gave me a good suggestion and I think it is just the cherry on top for this fabric line.
I cannot believe Market is this week. It seems surreal. I have been thinking about this for over a year and now it's finally here! It's happening. It's real. And I get to be a part of it.
Not only that, I am loving the lessons my kids are learning watching me go through all of this. I hope they learn that ANY dream is possible no matter how big. But it will take work and faith and it won't be on your time line, it will be on the Lord's, but it's possible.
What better Mother's day gift could you ask for than that?

Easter ramblings
The Easter bunny did not hide the baskets well enough this year. Karaia and Beckham found theirs practically just because they opened their eyes....next year though.
Karaia gave a great talk in primary today. I was proud of her confidence and the thought she put into it before hand. It was a nice start to this holiday to have so much of our morning focused on the Savior. I was grateful to see Karaia's testimony grow today.
I forgot to mention that I was released as Relief Society secretary a few weeks ago. I was set apart today as a Ward Missionary. That is a calling that is well beyond my comfort level. During the setting apart Sanders and Tennyson were mock boxing each other...and spinning around...and growling like bears. (Kev was helping with the setting apart so there was no one to corral anyone) Fantastic. Mother of the year right here people.
There were two parts of the setting apart that I actually heard, in between me trying to mother the clearly raised-by-wolves younger two with my foot while trying NOT to move my head or appear in the least bit mortified by my children's behavior,
The two parts were:
1) The I would be continued to be blessed and successful in my personal and professional life ( The counselor setting me apart has no idea about my dream. As far as he knows I have no plans for anything professional--other than perhaps going professionally crazy because my children act as if they were raised by wolves)
2) That I would be able to preform my calling in a manner pleasing to me and the Lord. ( That was important for me to hear because I am very apprehensive about offending or making someone feel badly that they don't believe as I do. If they want to hear/know more awesome, but I'm not going to push it on them. It was nice to be reminded that Heavenly Father understands me.)
We had a quiet afternoon of WAY too much candy and a quick nap for mom (HOORAY!). Then we went to my mom's for a yummy dinner and a great Easter egg hunt. All of that equals happy kiddos to tuck into bed.

St. Patty's
Some people are really cute and creative on this green, shamrock laden, leprechaun catching, holiday. Really creative. And they make the best memories for their kids.
I am just lucky to remember to dress everyone in green and snap a picture.
We did however experience a St. Patty's Day miracle of all four children looking AND smiling at the camera!

Fathers
Today is Father's Day.
I have been thinking a lot about father's, mine---Earthly and Heavenly, Kevin's, my children's, and the relationship they bring in my life.
Of course my first memories of fathers involve my dad. Poor guy was surrounded by girls his entire life. He only had two sisters and then went on to have three daughters. We always joked that even our pets were girls.
You would think that, perhaps, all the femininity would make him extreme on one end or the other. Either a super, super macho guy or one who was slightly effeminate. But Dad is a perfect blend of the best of both worlds. He played football in high school, always had sports on T.V. while we were growing up, and taught me how to make a football spiral. He is also the man who taught me to love musicals and the finer arts.
He never yelled but could command control of his hormonal daughters with a kind word or a stern look.
He was a great example of a wonderful father.
Close behind my thoughts of my dad come thoughts of my husband. The kids adore him. There is something about dads that make them WAY more fun than a mom. Even little Sanders has already discovered this unwritten rule and makes a bee line for the door as soon as he hears the garage door opener. Then the wrestling begins. All four kids atop one lone man.
You know what?
Kev loves every minute of it.
He has a way of teaching kids a new chore that makes it seem like a privilege to do it.
He also takes, all four of them, on errands. I just think that's amazing. I try and avoid that scenario at all costs. But it doesn't even phase him.
I know my children are loved and well cared for if ever I need a night off.
Kevin is very special in our lives and we are grateful every day for him.
That brings me to my Heavenly Father.
Being a parent provides an opportunity to understand Heavenly Father with new eyes. When I am frustrated by current poor behaviors my children are favoring, I am reminded how many "second chances" my Father in Heaven affords me.
I really try to parent as I think He would.
Am I perfect. Heavens no. Not even close.
In fact, it seems a large part of my daily prayers consist of begging for forgiveness for the lack of parenting as I know I should. It's a hard job but it makes me more grateful for the times I can recognize the compassion and the tough love I have been given by Heavenly Father.
I am grateful for the Fathers in my life and hope they know just how much they better my life.
Happy Fathers Day!!!

December 6, 13, 17, 20, 21, 24, Christmas Morning
Might be a boring post, but it's more for documentation than for entertainment.........
On December 6, my mom and Dave had their Christmas party. They always go all out and everyone has a great time.
They have breakfast foods, like bacon, biscuits and gravy, eggs, fruit, french toast, yummmmmmmm.
My mom likes to do Christmas Bingo for the kids. It's something my grandma did for us as well and you can bet my grandkids will get the same treatment. I think it's something the kids really look forward to.
We got spoiled, of course, with a membership to Discovery Gateway and have already put it to good use. Thank you!!
It was a really nice way to kick of the holiday.
On December 13 my dad and Emma had their Christmas party. They too always go all out and have way more food than can be looked at let alone consumed. Which is what Christmas is about right?
My favorite dish is the tourtière. It's a meat pie they serve in Canada. I really have to make sure I have the recipe. I can't remember ever having a Christmas without eating it.
We were spoiled there as well. The kids got a fantastic kitchen that they just can't get enough of. Thank you!!
On December 17 Beckham had his pre-school party. A special someone came and I was pretty sure we could have canceled Christmas and all those pre-schoolers would have just been fine with that.
Tennyson only went up there because he knew there was candy. The second the candy touched his hand he ran away....quick
On December 20, Kevin's parents had their Christmas party. We had aebleskivers, which I love, and they tried to tell us Christmas was going to be slimmed down this year, but the presents nearly reached the top of the tree!!! I got fabric and gift cards to go buy more fabric, which I have spent all but $8 already!!! Thank you!
Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled.
But where are the pictures? This season, my pregnant brain took over and I forgot the camera most of the time. HOWEVER, we lucked out with the third Christmas party because I had kicked myself for forgetting the camera at the earlier two.
December 24, we spent the day with Kevin's Grandma Janice and all his cousins. There are so many of us now, which makes it super fun, that we will probably have to switch locations next year.
That evening we came home and the kids opened one present, PAJAMAS! Aren't they so cute! Beckham kept grilling Kevin and I on making sure we knew to jump into bed and pretend we were asleep if we heard Santa on the roof.
Christmas morning turned out just as I had hoped. The kids were bouncing off the walls and they didn't get up too, too early
Beckham got a smart cycle. Super good exercise for the winter
Tennyson got an Easel. We are still working on him ONLY coloring on the easel. Luckily Santa only brought him chalk.
Karaia got a pink Leapster 2, that she has been asking for for 365 since she saw Beckham's Leapster last Christmas.
And to add a cherry on top of the perfect morning, we had the grandparents there to watch all the excitement. Thank you for coming!!! It meant a lot to us and we know the kids loved having you there.

So here is a picture of Grandma Candace and Tennyson
Don't you just love this picture!
December 21 we had Kevin's Grandma and Grandpa Daly's Christmas party. The kids always find something fun to do there and Bob and Julie spoiled them like no other this year. Grandma and Grandpa gave us a beautiful hand-crafted statue of Christ that Grandma made and I just adore it. It reminds me of the work my grandma used to do.December 24, we spent the day with Kevin's Grandma Janice and all his cousins.

Father's Day
I'm a day late, but I'm sure you'll understand. Yesterday was Father's Day and Tennyson's very first birthday.
Happy Father's Day to all the Father's in my life.
Dad, thanks for teaching me to think for myself and that it's OK to have a different opinion from the crowd. Thanks for disciplining me without any anger. Thanks for loving my children and always making time for them! I hope my children love me they way I love you.
Dave, I am grateful for the role you play in my life. My children adore you and that says a lot about someone! Thank you for all that you do for us and your endless service, time and energy!
Jim, Thank you for teaching Kevin to be a fun dad. The kids can feel you love for them and they just light up inside because of it. Thank you and Happy Birthday yesterday. I LOVE that you and Tennyson get to share your special day!
Kevin, you are a wonderful father. You are always willing to let the kids 'help' you even though it makes the job take that much longer. I have been told repeatedly that you are the "fun" one and although I'm pretty sure I've provided our children with some fun I am delighted they hold you in such high esteem. Thank you for traveling this journey with me and helping raise amazing children!

Magic
Holidays were always magical around my house growing up. Even Valentine's Day. I strive to recreate similar memories for my little ones.
This morning I had their valentines, cereal straws....they saw them on T.V. and really wanted them, and their cards laid by their breakfast seats. I had strung construction hearts on a string and wrapped them around each seat and around the banister to surprise them when they woke up. Nothing fancy. Just a hint of magic.
We had friends drop by all afternoon to give Karaia and Beckham wishes of a good day, cards of friendship, and to ensure a pretty good sugar buzz by the evening.
A nice night out was not in the picture for us this year as we are still awaiting a job. But the inside of this card stopped my heart as no romantic date could.
He loves me and he thinks I'm perfect....despite the obvious fault in that thought.
Sigh.
I think I'm in love.

For dinner I made these.
Simple yet exciting. It's not every day you get pancakes made into shapes combined with a festive shade of food color pink.
