Shrimp and "Can I please have another app?"

Michelangelo's three favorite foods are hand down shrimp, mushrooms, and olives. The other night we went to Tucanos and he had over 15 full size shrimps. Between he and Wesley, they can almost finish an entire can of olives at one sitting. (although I don't usually let them do that)  If only those foods were cheap enough and nutritious enough that we could feed them to him everyday.

He is one funny kid. One of his favorite things to do lately is play game apps on my iPhone. He loves Copter, Shapes, Puzzle lite, and Real Racing, oh and Touch Dogs(it's like a little gia pet).

Lately here are come common phrases that come out of his mouth:
"Can I please have another app?"
"I did not go to the app store." (lying)
"I am being good, can I play your iPhone?"
"I just want to play on your iPhone!" (while throwing a fit)

His fourth birthday is coming up in March. Birthdays are sad and happy things. Sad because you sometimes don't want them to grow up, and good because sometimes they don't grow up fast enough.
I am also starting another co-op/joy preschool for Michael next week. It's going to be kind of like the one i did in Orem. I know focusing his energy on something educational will be very good for him, so that will be nice. Not to mention the time I am going to have with just Wesley and Francy. I won't know what to do with myself. Just kidding I have a ton of things I want to do, especially giving wESLEY more one-on-one time. We are looking forward to the snow melting and the weather warming up so we can actually play outside, work on the yard, get some sunshine, and put away the iPhone.

She's Having a Baby

My sister-in-law is having a baby girl! And she is going to be half Korean. Lucky! Here are some pictures of her baby shower:

Best wishes Kami with the delivery and a newborn!

Wishing for Zinnias

I am really looking forward to spring. I look forward to having to wear sunglasses like these FENY ones: 

and for some iris's, zinnias, and miniature roses to bloom in my front yard.

So, Justin is now 29. Wow! We had a week of partying to celebrate. He got a transformer because he is still a child at heart.  ;) Michael just loves it. He also got some tools to put in his newly decorated and painted workshop in the backyard. (Sorry no pics of that) I think his favorite present was his Bachelors Degree. Woohoo!

Couponing Disaster

So, I heard about this whole couponing thing where you get five sunday papers, use all the coupons and save thousands of dollars. I am trying it and failing. Any tips from all you super moms out there?

Budding Fashionista

You'll never guess who made Francesca's skirt.

Yep, it was me! I got a new sewing machine for Christmas from my parents and I am so excited to create a whole bunch of pretty little things.

Francesca Betty is sooooo lucky to have her own personal designer, me, Jennifer Trend to design her clothing. Couture for an eight month old? Yep.

 

CTR 7

Brother & Sister Furr are now the proud teachers of our wards CTR 7 Class.

We are actually pretty excited about it. It will be fun being together for all three hours again. (We taught the five year old when we were newlyweds) Seven year olds are so darling and smart! We will need lots of help from the Lord in this calling but I know we will learn a lot and hopefully the kids will, too.

By the way, Michael has also been welcomed into the primary as a Sunbeam. We sit just a few rows back and I wave at him, " Hi Michael!" He just smirks and pretends like he didn't see us. Three years old and already too cool for his parents! What is that about!?
