Text of the page (random words):
yan s footsteps and she wants to be a part of the american fork high marching band so she works hard and is getting great sound out of that three generation instrument she attended yw camp for the first time this summer at heber valley camp she came home with a deeper appreciation for the gospel her yw leaders and her testimony i missed her like crazy but i am so glad she was able to go heber valley camp is indeed a holy place coleman will turn 10 next month he continues to love science video games legos star wars and learning he has a funny sense of humor and cracks clever jokes that cause me to think he calls me on it when i give a laugh that isn t quite what he was hoping for he loves to sing and whistle i often say that he is performing his own soundtrack to his life some days i don t find it quite as charming as he does but i was reminded in a conference talk that it is something joyous is to hear children sing he has decided that he wants to attend mit which he thought stood for michigan institution of technology he is fascinated with bugs and weather and how things work he thinks deeply and theorizes about so many things love that boy sophia cracks us up she is determined and oh so strong willed she says and does the funniest things she loves to burp and she s a rock star burper loud long and frequent they are cute for a three year old unless it s while you are walking into church in any public place or in front of anyone outside the family too bad she has no qualms about letting them loose whenever and wherever if we want that habit to stop we ll probably have to stop busting a gut when she lets it rip she loves to pray she does not love to vary the wording in her prayers she loves to say dear heavenly father thank you for the day and the food in the name of jesus christ amen she did go through a bodies phase where she asked him to bless our bodies but her prayer is pretty much standard we are working on that one for a short time she insisted on saying every prayer recently when she asks to pray and someone else gets asked to do it she rushes to that person and says good job mom i m so proud of you she decided several months ago that she didn t like kisses anymore she wouldn t give or receive kisses unless it was a kiss on the top of the head in the pattern of rapunzel from the disney movie tangled where she d say i love you and i d say i love you more and she d say i love you most and plant a kiss on the top of my head she loved hugs and would remind us as we went to give hugs and kisses of her preferences sometimes signaling with a hand to stop in our advances to kiss her last night she granted permission to give kisses again glory be she is very very picky with the things she wears she wore two pairs of boots until she could not get her feet in them anymore never mind that it was 100 degrees outside she does not love sandals she does not love tennis shoes save for the awesome light up shoes from grandma terri that have velcro straps and allowed her to put them on herself but she outgrew those months ago she now has a ratty pair of slip on ballet flats with soles falling to pieces over the course of the last few months she has decided that she hates clothes with sleeves long sleeves short sleeves cap sleeves she does not like sleeves she doesn t like things that cover my shoulders or my armpits and refuses to wear anything with sleeves i know i m the parent right i shouldn t let a three year old run the house and make the rules but have you ever tried to put a shirt or dress with sleeves on a kid who does not want to wear it it isn t a pretty sight and has resulted in many tantrums it s been a hot summer and she looks pretty cute in her tank tops and sundresses so i ve let it go for the most part but last week it reached an all new level of ridiculousness when we were out of town limited number of acceptable to her options no possibility of washing dirty clothes to get said acceptable to her clothes back into the rotation and i put on an almost sleeveless dress she was busy having a fit so in an attempt to preserve the peace i very stupidly suggested that we tuck in her sleeves so her shoulders weren t covered she loved that idea and it placated her until it came untucked and she became unglued we spent a good part of that day tucking it was very humorous when she came up to me as i was getting ready for the day with a cami on over my underclothes i was getting ready to put on another shirt or dress on top of it she stroked my shoulders and said oh mommy your shoulders aren t covered and it s beautiful pretty soon here we ll have to start phasing out her sleeveless clothes so that she will allow her arms to be covered in the winter months how do you think a puffy down coat will tuck on august 14th we gathered with tim and laura and their family at mikayla s grave it has been three years since she left us laura asked us all to share a memory or something we had learned from mikkie i was pretty teary eyed as i said how i was trying to learn to be more prepared always have bubble gum and lipgloss in hand mikkie loved those but more importantly to always let the people that i love know how i feel about them mikkie left so quickly and i don t ever want to regret not sharing my love my tears were flowing freely but sweet sophia put her arms around my neck squeezed tight pulled my face to hers and said don t worry i ll always be there for you i don t know where she comes up with this stuff sometimes when she says or does something funny i ask her where did you learn that for a long time her answer has been from miss piggy and occasionally and the frog she kills me my potty training philosophy is to wait until my kids are so ready to do it that they take only a few days i don t have the patience to potty train for months on end the result is that they have all been well over three when we ve attempted but it hasn t gone on forever and ever sophia was no different while she was likely capable many months ago i kept putting it off until i was sure she would be successful with preschool just around the corner we knew it had to happen this summer because of some long road trips we had only one three week period that we would be home she did really really well for the most part we chose hi chews as our method of bribery she d get one each time she went she got in the habit of going wiping washing hands and saying i went to the bathroom and i had pee pee and i want a grape she likes hi chew flavors in this order grape strawberry apple mango she picks grape until they are all gone then she eats all of the strawberry ones until they are all gone then apple and finally the ones left are mango she only had a couple of accidents but she was very clear in the fact that she did not want to poop on the potty she in fact said to me on more than one occasion i will never poop on the potty she would go into a corner or under a table or behind the curtains or furniture when it was time to do her business she would tell us she needed her privacy and she would quickly inform us that we needed to change her but she was so resistant to even trying to go after a couple of very unsuccessful attempts on my part we will buy you anything you want we ll have ice cream i ll buy you a pony puh lease i finally decided to let it go be happy with the fact that she was staying dry during the day and would even wake up dry in the morning and resign myself to the fact that she would be in pull ups until college tonight she decided all on her own that she wanted to poop on the potty and she did like a boss without any forewarning we are eating ice cream tonight so glad she opted for that reward instead of the pony we have decided that sophia will go where she wants and how she wants in life it is our job to make sure she is pointed in the right direction and to help her think that that direction is her idea oh the challenge we are loving life and are busy busy while busyness is not a badge of honor there are days that it feels like it should be i feel tired but oh so happy most of the time as for catching up on the rest of 2013 we mustache you to be patient it will come posted by lisa r d at 11 45 pm 2 comments labels coleman oliva parenting sophia sunday december 30 2012 reflections magic of a moment this

december 28 2012 cookie party 2012 one of my favorite holiday traditions is the cookie party that my friend marilynn hosts this year i made some yummy macaroon kisses they are delicious and i usually don t like coconut macaroon kisses 1 3 cup butter softened 3 oz cream cheese softened ¾ cup granulated sugar 1 egg yolk 2 teaspoons almond extract 1 ½ cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 5 cups coconut divided 48 kisses dark chocolate cream butter cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy beat in egg yolk and extract combine flour baking powder and salt add gradually

festival of trees 2012 megan pulled off another great tree this year in memory of her boy chance the theme was the great outdoors all of her decorations were of moose bears squirrels and owls she did such a great job on it i got to go and help put it together on decorating day my mom tied a quilt with megan and her sisters and many other people contributed me and megan with my mom and some friends and our aunt becky on decorating day sisters meg and mom our sister lauren wrote a paragraph to help festival visitors get to know chance it read chance was an inquisitive boy he loved exploring getting into everything and playing in the dirt he would have been an outdoor enthusiast for sure if he hadn t gotten sick at the tender age of 2 years and 11 months just weeks before he died he was able to go on his first camping trip what an adventure we hoped there would be many more opportunities for him to sleep under the stars be close to nature and try to spot the wildlife but god had a different plan and called chance home we still feel close to him when we are outside he is in the wind the sunshine the raindrops the hoot of an owl and especially in the dirt later in the week we went with my grandma cole to see the tree the kids love being with her and i love it too she is so good with them and they love that she usually manages to bring them a little treat sophia was in a bit of a funk that day she finally pulled out of it when we saw the gingerbread houses and there was one from tangled one of her favorite movies the festival is such a great event and i love that megan has made it a priority in her life to give back to the medical center that tried so hard to save her boy on decorating day i was again amazed as i looked around and thought about how much love goes into each tree there is a story behind each tree and a person to go with the story it breaks my heart that there are so many in the club of people who have lost a loved one often a young child but it is heartwarming that so many people work so hard to contribute to such a good cause and bring so much joy to others in the process posted by lisa r d at 11 13 pm 0 comments labels chance
