A Zhu-Zhu Miracle!


After a trip to the dentist a few months ago it was reported that Amelia's sucking thumb days must come to an end. I have tried to scare her with pictures of kids with messed up teeth on the internet (she laughs), pictures of kids who have anti-thumb sucking devices (she is intrigued), and even threatened her with the purchase of "THE CLAW" (she wants it). I figured baby steps were in order. If she could go 20 days without bringing her yowie downstairs I would take her to the toy store. We made a chart and she was a champ! We welcome Nugget to the family whole heartedly while I consider how to cure her of Yowie completely.

I was told bad stuff about my little thumb suckers too. They all quit sucking their thumbs around age six, and have nice looking smiles even without braces.

I think you're on the right track with the bribes, honestly. love, Val

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
