Being watched over




Yesterday afternoon, Logan was out back riding his bike.  Rob and I were sitting at the dining room table, when all of a sudden we heard one of the kids crying.  I thought that it was Hailey (as it so often is when she plays with her big brother), and I was waiting for her to come running into the house to tell on him... but the crying stayed in one place and we found out that Hailey was still in the house.  So Rob ran outside to find Logan in one of our window wells, with his bike on top of him.  Our window wells are about 5 feet deep, so we know it was quite a fall for him.   He has a few scrapes, bumps and bruises, but overall, is just fine.  I am so very thankful for Heavenly Father watching over him.  I mean, the WINDOW didn't even break!  He said he was riding in the gravel and hit a rock and fell down into the window well, and then his bike fell on top of his head.   It was so sad when he came inside and was spitting out sand and blood from his bloody lip.  


Then, tonight when Rob was putting Logan to bed, he was getting his blankets all situated, when he found a sewing 'pin' in the blanket that my Grandma just made for Logan.  Normally, if he was just using this blanket on top of all his other covers, it wouldn't be that big a deal, but he has been putting it on top of his pillow and sleeping ON it for the last week!  I just can't believe that he didn't get poked in the eye with it or his face somewhere! It makes me cringe to think what could have happened.   So, once again, Logan was definitely being watched over.    And I am soooo very thankful!  Isn't it amazing to think about how much our children are being watched over without us even knowing!

The Racewalker

Last week I was working out on the treadmill, and an old man got onto the machine next to me and he started talking to me. I had my earbuds in, so I couldn't hear him. So, I took them out and He goes, "Are you a race walker?" My reply was of course, "No, I'm not."
"You have the best race-walking form of anyone I've ever seen! I have been coming to the gym for years and I have never seen anyone have as good a form as you do!" (Honestly, I was like, is this guy for real?!) He went on to tell me that he is 72 years old and he used to be a race walking coach and he's never seen anyone have such a natural ability to race walk. LOL As you can imagine, I was dying laughing inside! He ended with telling me that he would really encourage me to pursue learning the technique more fully and to start racing. Sadly, he told me that the only races that are in the state of Washington are held in Seattle... DARN! After he left, the man on the machine to my left goes, "Remember your friends when you make your first million!" And it was President MacFarlane!  (For my friends living outside of Spokane, he used to be my Stake President! LOL)

Future UFC Contender?


Hudson got 'kicked out' of the gym's Kid Zone today (for the day)... not necessarily blog worthy, but what he said about it IS!


We got in the car and I go "Who was a stinker at the gym today?"  He wouldn't make eye contact with me when I turned around to look at him.  So, I turned around and he goes, "Not me!" and then smiled.  LOL  He is such a little stink!  I am REALLY hoping this is just a brief 'phase' he is going through.  Maybe it has something to do with being the 3rd child???

(This is Hudson's "I got caught doing something wrong" face.)  LOL

Night Skiing





My dad and I took Logan and Hailey night skiing last Friday.  It was a blast!  The kids are so fun to ski with!   Hailey can ski without the harness now, so it's very exciting!  In the video, she kept stopping because she was wondering what I was doing.  Logan can go alot faster than he did when I took the video, but he was being a little camera shy.  LOL
