joke of the day

Dakota just got off the bus grinning and told me a joke.
Dakota: "knock knock"
Me: "who's there"
Dakota: "who"
Me: "who who?"
Dakota: "Are you an owl?" giggling as he runs in the house.

Happy 4th Birthday Ashton!

spaghetti mystery

We are having dinner and I notice a small pile of noodles on the table in between me and Dakota...I know I didn't put them there...

me: Dakota...why is there spaghetti on the table?

dakota: um, well, I can't really tell you right now Mom, Its a verrrry long story.

He makes me laugh.

gulp

Dakota: Momma, Why do you only have boy kids?
Me: Well that's just how it happened ...I don't get to choose if I get a boy or girl. Its just a surprise each time.
Dakota: Did you want 4 boys?
Me: Yes that's exactly how many I wanted. Aren't you so glad you have 3 brothers?
Dakota: Yeah, but I really wanted a sister....

Sun Devils for 2 more years!!!

We have had a good week. Ken was accepted to grad school at ASU next fall. He will graduate this spring with an architectural design degree. In 2 more years he will have a masters in architecture. I am so proud of him. Just 3 years ago he wasnt sure what he wanted to do. We had just built our house in Dayton, NV and we both really enjoyed it. Construction wasn't really what he wanted to do for a living but Architecture sounded pretty cool. So he made a decision and 3 years later we feel like the plan is working. That wasn't the only good news we got this week. Ken was invited to have an internship at a firm that is doing the new Phoenix Temple. He is so excited to start working. The firm is a really big name here and they do really great architecture. There are 5 or 6 other LDS guys who work at the firm but they don't know the computer program that the project requires. Ken happened to take a class on said computer program about a year ago and was asked to help on the temple project specifically because he knows the program. We have been so blessed these past 3 years. Ken works really hard and doesnt get near enough sleep but we've never had a doubt that we were doing the right thing.
