I shared a cute story about Smarty yesterday, so here's one about Sweety to even things up. We were recouping together in the Lazy-boy after an intense round of "Oh yes you will take this medicine- there's no way I'm taking this medicine" when Sweety popped up and landed his wet little clamp of a mouth squarely on my nose. Not unheard of I know, but the suddenness of it startled me and I laughed, not a "tee hee hee, that's so cute!" but an honest to goodness belly-laugh. Then it was Sweety's turn to be surprised. Who knew that shock and pleasure could age an 11 month old. He actually had a verbal reply, "Bliah-blah?" My name never sounded better! I repeated the word back, and his eyes said, "Finally! I thought you'd never figure out your name!" More laughter, and then his wide little grin siezed my nose again. The cycle repeated for some time. It was great!
And yes, I know I need to learn how to spell my children's fake names correctly. Hang in there; I'll get it right eventually.
What I know about life so far.
“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

From my mother:
Love starts when another's needs become more important than your own
All of Us
"It seems to me that the best relationships, the ones that last, are frequently the ones rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than the night before, like a switch has been flicked somewhere, and the person who was just a friend is suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with."

- Ben and I met in Sophomore English class. We were good friends throughout high school, but didn't really start dating until Senior Prom, one week before graduation. After a magic weekend I was still on the fence about him, but Ben did some hard and fast talking, and I caved. We spent every minute of a beautiful, whirl-wind summer together, then I went to Idaho to school, and he went to Brazil on a mission. A few months after his arrival home, it was my turn to talk hard and fast, and I eventually wore him down. We hung on through some ups and downs, and in May '02 we were married in the Logan temple. In Nov. '04 we had our first beautiful boy, and in June '07 we had our second beautiful boy. It's amazing how motherhood has changed my perspective, but I am happy to report that these are the best days of my life.
My Personal Philosophy
Happiness is a choice, not an event
Success is a goal, not a gift or a right.
Victims have no power, those who act have plenty.
