Thanks Mom for all the help you have give me!! I could not have done it without you. I love you!!

Ribs, I never know that they could cause so much pain. You do not even notice that they are there until you cough hard enough to break one and then you notice them. I broke a rib when I was pregnant with Sage but I was 8 months along, coughed and hard a pop that time. Five years later there was not a pop but a horrible Flu and well I was lucky to have my family near to help me out. Moms, there is no one word to describe my mom. She extended her vacation here in Utah to come and help me stay afloat at my home. I felt bad that she would come and do all the dirty cleaning and I would just watch her do it. THANKS MOM!! I could not of done it without you, I love you!! She even had my kids help her make some dinner and dessert. As you can see I have a fabulous family that took care of me!! We even got to have our violin lesson over at our house. Thanks Wephie for taking Jake to school and coming to sit with me!!

Sadi is 2 years old and love to compliment you on everything. She told aunt Jessica the other day that she had beautiful eyebrows. She does not just tell you this in a normal way, she has to touch your face with both hands and tell you like she means it. Well the other day I was getting out of the shower and she was in there yelling for me to get out of the shower, and when I did she paused and then told me that I have a beautiful chest. What can I say!!

What do you say to you 2 year old who is forced to watch a show on TV that is for young kids but it is not a cartoon and she picks up on the one thing you thought that she would never pick up on. Yes I am taking about Sadi calling her brother and sister Boobs. There is a funny TV program on Nick called Josh and Drake. Scot and I have sat down and watch it with the kids and think that it is a funny show, except that the young sister calls her two brother boobs when she greets them. So as soon as Sage and Jake get in the car after school, Sadi greets them with hey boobs. Funny yes, should we stop this, yes, but to watch it go on for a while is funny too!! This is our Sadi is her dress ups!!! We love you Sadi Ann!!!

Congratulations Wade and Kellie the Wedding was great! On Feb 16 2008 our nephew Wade was married in the Salt Lake Temple. We were excited to go since we have been stuck in our home sick for several weeks and to get out of the house on such a special occation was fun. It was also fun to try out my new camera that I recieved on Christmas.

Violin

We are so excited that our Aunt Wephie is teaching us violin lessons. Sage asked for a violin from Santa but he did not pull through with the gift, but thank heavens we have such great grandparents that purchase a violin for her instead. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Carn!! When we opened the gift aunt Wephie tuned it for us and asked Sage if she could be her violin teacher is which she reply "No I think that we will get another teacher" Sorry Aunt Wephie I think that she had no idea that you were so good at violin. We started our first violin lesson Monday Jan 28 2008. We have faithfully been practicing ever since Christmas and now that we have had our first lesson we are pros. Sadi did not get a violin for Christmas because she is to young to start but has been asking for one since we got Sage's and it is not anyone it needs to be a purple one. Holy Cow do they even make purple ones??? So in it place we have a fisher price violin. Sage started to practice hers and put Rosin on the bow and Sadi had to put Rosin on her bow also. Sage is amazed how well Sadi violin can play and told me that she hope that she can play as good as Sadi violin one day. You can Sage just give it time.

The peacock have a family goal this year, we are going to memorize the 13 articles of faith. We already have the first one down, and are going to start every family home evening by repeating them all. To make sure that our kids have it down I decided to have them each repeat the first one on their own. Jake wanted to go first and did it great, then we had Daddy say it and then Sage and then myself. We started on the second article of faith and out came a loud cry from Sadi. I made every stop reciting it so that I could get control of Sadi's crying. When I asked her what was wrong she stated " I want to say we believe." I have to remember that even though she is only 2 years old she gets to have a turn too. I am so sorry, I thought that she was just sitting there not listening to the words, when if fact she to almost has it memorized. She is smart for her age!!
