Baby Nate picture over load!

Nathan 3 Weeks old

The other night I went to kiss Danny good night and he wanted to also kiss Nate good night. As I put Nate down by Danny, it was fun to see just how small Nate looked next to Danny.

One morning I was trying to get Andrew off to school. I could hear Nate crying up in my room, but had to get Andrew on the bus, so I couldn't go take care of him. Soon the crying stopped. I figured that Nate had gone to sleep. When I finally went up to my room there was Jacob taking care of baby Nate. He is such a good big brother!

The smell of cimmamon gum

The other day I was in the checkout line at Target and this cinnamon Trident gum was calling my name, so I bought a package.

Last night as I got a piece out to chew, the smell of the gum all the sudden took me back to when I was around 8 years old. I was in my frontroom at home in Richfield and my Grandpa Stott was there.  When I was younger, he was a very big man, so he would wear blue suspenders and always had Trident gum in his pocket shirt. I was taken back to a time when Grandpa and Grandma had come to visit my family. I remembered how Grandpa would give us each a piece of gum. It is funny to me how a smell can remind you of a memory. Froot Loops also has the same effect. My Grandma Stott always had froot loops for us when we would go and visit them in Green River. I can't eat fruit loops without thinking about all the wonderful memories of visiting my grandparents. 

My Grandparents have both passed on, but I'm so grateful for the good people they were and the love that I felt from them every time I got to see them.

Crossed eyes

Jacob discovered the other day that he can make us all laugh when he goes crossed eyed. After he got lots of laughs, Danny had to also try and go cross eyed. We told him to look at his finger to make his eyes do what Jacob was doing. I have laughed and laughed watching these two with their new tricks!
