Feliz Nadida

We have had a very busy couple of weeks here in Cali. Things just don't seem to ever slow down. Where should I start.

Tyler the other day while eating a snack reported that his tooth hurt when he would bite. We proceeded to test for a loose tooth and sure enough he has a wiggly front bottom one. I keep telling him to wiggle it and it will come out, but I think he is a little concerned about it hurting. He is keeping way busy at school. They have been practicing songs for the "Holiday" program at school. No, it is not a Christmas program because that could be offensive to some people. Anyway, he has been telling us that he so nervous. This is the kid who loves to give talks in primary and say prayers and loves the primary program. He is nervous to sing some Christmas songs at school for a whole bunch of parents. Who knows what he is thinking. Anyway, yesterday in an attempt to help him out I tried to get him to teach me some of the songs they will perform. He was surprised to find out I knew some of them too. He was very resistant to teach me so I told him that in order to get lunch he would have to sing me one of the songs. He had a fit and didn't think it was funny at all. Brooklynn however thought it was a great idea and proceeded to sing me "Feliz Nadida" It was very cute. She loves to sing.

Brooklynn is busy with pre-school and totally loves it. She is so social and is insisting on friends coming over all the time. She cannot wait for Christmas and is looking forward to go shopping for a gift for her brothers. She has also been inventing funny words. We asked her the other day what the word was and she said "a talking one," then we asked where she learned that word and she replied, "my mouth." She is nutty, It is pretty cute.

Joshua is turning into a monster. Eating is his latest thing and if you have food and won't share he let's you know that is absolutely not gonna fly with him. He is into everything and walking around everything. He thinks he is so clever. His hair is showing signs of curls (I think I may be just wishing for it), but I don't think that I can wait it out and let it grow. We'll see. Steve suggested a mullet. He also, by the end of the day, will have his four front teeth. He has figured out he can bite with them and is always trying to chomp down on something. I'm sure at Christmas Jakey or Emmaus will get bit by him.

Steve and I are keeping super busy. He is trying to finish the year strong. I've hosted my cooking group and I'm in charge of a few combined mutual activities this month. Although hopefully we are cancelling one of them. I finished my Christmas cards and a Christmas project/gift and Got my shopping done, except for Steve. I am also hosting a Heritage Makers party next week. It should be fun!

That should get you up to date. Sorry no pictures.
