Cleanse

I am trying to do a 3 day juice cleanse. I have a day and a half left to go. I am not hungry which is a good thing but it is hard making meals for my family and having them eat it and not me. I like cooking but it is hard not to sample what I am cooking for the family while I am on this cleanse. I know this is good for me but it is requiring a lot so will power. I think it would be harded if I was Hungry so I do see the blessing. I know I can do this but it is difficult.


Alexander and Benjamin are keeping me busy. Benjamin is starting to talk in sentences and it is really funny hearing repeat whatever Stephen and I are saying. Alexander is learning to talk as well and he loves to chatter to whomever will listen to him.

I was able to have a night out the other night and Stephen called me on the phone because Benjamin wanted to talk to me. So he put Benjamin on the phone and Benjamin started talking. It was funny because when he started talking he sounded exantly like my niece Alanna used to on the phone. So for a minute there I was not sure who I was talking to.

The Boys are not really good at sharing me. Alex likes to sit on my lap and cuddle with me and this of course makes Benjamin want to be on my lap. then of course having Benjamin there makes Alex mad and so they start pushing each other and I am in the middle.

These Pictures are of the Boys Getting along. The Last Picture is of Benjamin being a Lumber Jack because he often see his daddy outside chopping wood.

My Husband the Sweetheart.

My husband is the best. He really came up with a way to surprise me this time and it made me feel really good. I get this Catalog called the J. Peterman Catalog and it has some really neat clothes in it. They tend to be on the pricey side through. There was this one dress in it that I really fell in love with and I really wanted it. But I looked at the price and knew I had to be content just looking at it in the catalog. My husband surprised me by ordering it for me. So now I get to have a really cool Easter Dress. I haven't had an easter dress since I was a little girl. Let me tell you this made me feel very special and made me love my husband all over again. I am so excited for it to come it the mail. I cannot wait to wear it. I know that whenever I wear it I will think of my husband surprising me. I have not felt this happy or giddy in a long time. I will post a picture of me in the dress when I get it.

Music

I am the Primary pianist for my ward and as such I need to practice the songs during the week so that I do not sound like an idiot while playing for the children on sunday. So as I am practicing benjamin comes up to me and requests a song for me to play so that he can sing. I play the song for him and he goes "again mommy again". It is kind of fun having my three year old come up to me and request primary songs for me to play to him. IT is som much fun listening to him sing. I really need to get it on video but it is kind of hard to video tape and play the piano so that Benjamin can sing.

Alexander has started being picky about the things that he eats. If the item is broken or jagged in any way shape or form he refuses to eat it. it has to be perfectly whole. I have not got a clue where he gets it from. But having my 19 month old refuse to eat something just becase it is not perfectly whole is rather frustrating.

Smart Kid

Benjamin was jumping off the Coffee Table and saying he was flying. I told him to stop it or he would get in trouble. So He stoped jumping off the table and started falling off the table. He said to me "I'm not jumping mommy." I had a very hard time not laughing.
