Good Web site for Kids


One of the recent web sites I have heard about for kids. Maybe you already know about it.

Alivia has used it for about 2 weeks and has almost all of the sounds memorized.

Life in General

So life in great in Utah. The sun is shining it is only 80 degrees. The kids are in bed and I am listening to all my favorite music.
So Ben's boss's, boss pulled him in yesterday and asked him "how I (andrea) was doing" Ben replied that I was fine, and then he asked what I thought about his job? Ben said, that I said. "He wasn't moving up fast enough"........well lets just get things settled. When you have one person doing most of the work and pulling 60-70 hour weeks. And finally when he does come home he just wants to sleep. What wife would not want her husband to be compensated for all the hard work and the lack of time with the family???
So I don't expect Ben to be CEO this year..... maybe next year........ :)
Anyway, Bauer is well on his way to marathons and Livi is on her way to having lots of friends and not wanting ot be with her mom and dad so much. Cooper he is doing well, he has been potty trained for some time, and still puts his underwear on backwards and so when he walks away his little butt cheeks hang out of his "superhero" underwear. It is hysterical.

Cooper's latest stunt, we were at the grocery store and he said that he had to use the restroom, so I pulled the milk out of the case and put it in the cart and turned around and his pants were off and standing there, just there. We hurry and put his pants on and rushed to the bathroom.

So some of the cute saying the kids have had lately........
Alivia calls the airport-airpork
Cooper went to the movie spider man and everytime he came on the screen he would yell "spiderman" as if no one in the audience could see him.
Bauer says stop and holds his hand up.
Alivia has the General authorities faces and names memorized and when she gets to Dieter F. Uchtdorf she says Dieter F. "Dookdork."
The kids refer to cereal of what character is on the box, I am sure you can all relate.

An update on my family, my mom has lost 70lbs and looks amazing. She feels even better. Has been doing recent tests to see if she can get rid of her c-pap machine.
My sisters Jen still has Kyleigh-4, Duncan 2 and going to adopt baby "Geen-o" 6 monthish soon.
Steph has adopted Grace it is official. She also has Little Deloy he is about 18 months.
Kyle and my Dad not much too say, not much I want to say.
