Koby

Koby has a calling in our ward as one of the Ward Organists.

We have a neighbor who Kyson did yard work for all summer that had this organ.

It was his wife's, and she died suddenly a couple of months ago.

He didn't need it anymore and gave it to us.

She was a member of the church, but he isn't,

so I don't think he knew Koby is learning the organ.

Koby LOVES his new tux with the tails. He wants to wear it to church.

Heck, I think he even wants to wear it to bed!

Koby has avascular necrosis of the elbow.

It means lack of blood supply and death.

.

So,basically,

he has a dead bone in his elbow.

It hurts very, very much.

He hasn't been able to use his arms at swim practice for 2 months.

He just kicks for two hours every morning.

So, he shouldn't be getting faster at his 50 free and 100 free, but he is.

He took .6 seconds off his 50 free at the last meet.

.

.

Here is Koby's relay team at Region last Fri.

Koby's hat is the most gold.

They took 3rd in our Region for the 200 freestyle relay.

They even got medals!!!

PS

There are only 3 teams in our Region that are 4A. The rest are 3A

His swimming is over for the season. Too bad we didn't get to find out how fast he really is.

Hopefully, the elbow thing will get better, so he can get on with his life in sports

It hurt so badly for a few weeks that he couldn't even practice the piano.

Kashton

This is the wall before. It's pretty ugly.

Stained with sand and alkali.

After.

Kash is keeping track of Kamarie while I finish painting his name

to give him credit for the project.

Somehow came up with maroon from bright blue and red.

He is very happy to have this part of scouting over with.

It looks so much better, now.

We had to paint between all those panther toes.

Snoooooh well,

Waiting for me to take his picture...lol

LIDUHLIDUH

Pronounced:
lidth - uh- lidth - uh - lidth - uh - lidth - uh - lidth - uh - lidth - uh
as fast as possible

.

.
until I acknowledge her or appease her.

Every time Kamarie says this, it melts my heart and makes me giggle with JOY!!!!
It is usually accompanied with her snuggling up on my lap and lifting up my shirt to nurse.

.

.

She learned how to say it a few weeks ago
when I taught her that what she wanted was called "mommies milk"

.

.

I have been enjoying her saying it ever since,

and it is distinguishable from anything else that she wants.
.
.

.

.

I just now figured out what she's saying.

.

I was putting milk on her cereal and asked her if she wanted milk.
Then she repeated milk to me and this is how it sounded:

.

"LIDTHUHLIDTHUHLIDTHUHL"
.

.

.

.

It's the "il" in "milk", but just mixed up.

And the "dth" is the 'm' sound she is trying to make. LOL LOL LOL

I lOVE IT!!!

.

Kauri is 7

She measured herself up to the line on the wall
where Kort measured when he was 7
and she is as tall as that line,
so she excitedly informed me today that she is 7!
and that her birthday should be on
July 1 since that is the day that
Kort was measured when he was 7.

WHAT THE ?!

I just posted this entire blog post from my Nintendo DSi XL!!!
.
Is that insane, or WHAT?!

What do you think, Jana?

Movie review

Beezus and Ramona

.

I wasn't sure about getting this one since it is about girls that I read about when I was 10.

I wasn't sure my boys would sit through it.

.

.

Several parts of this show left one person giggling throughout.

One part of this show left one person sobbing out loud.

One part of this show left one of mine comparing himself to the oldest character.

while laughing in his sleeve at the one who was sobbing out loud.

.

.

Should I let you guess which person did which?

I think I will.

Let's hear your guesses.

Who am I describing above?

1.

2.

3. .

I thought the movie was pretty decent, and I would probably watch it again, (which I don't usually do.)
