Our Forever Family

By: Cameron Lee- dictated to the parent volunteers in his 1st grade class! Enjoy!! You get a turkey at home for Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey will cost one million dollars and it is about this big (hold out arms as large as he can.) My mom will cook the turkey. She puts turkey legs on it and I don't know what she puts in it. I think she cooks it in the oven. She cooks it for 33 minutes. When it comes out the turkey legs are on it and it doesn't look like it has the feathers on it. It doesn't have any gobblers, feet, or head, they melted in the oven. Then you eat the turkey and you eat the turkey's legs. When the turkey is all gone, you can actually see his bone legs.

Tonight I bumped Cameron's already lose tooth and so it was really ready to come out! David tried to pull it out a few times with his fingers, but nothing. When David jokingly suggested to tie a string to his tooth and close the door to get it out Cameron got pretty excited about it and was willing to try. So I went and got the floss and David tied one end to the tooth and one end to the door. We all were commenting on how well Cameron was doing. Seriously, I couldn't believe it myself when he wasn't resisting!! One slam of the door and then we knew it came out when the tooth hit the back of the door. No crying from Cameron. He said it didn't even hurt! This tooth pulling thing is SO FUN!! Maybe the door thing will be tradition when it comes to loose teeth!! I know what Cameron wants for Christmas this year!!

Today was a BUSY day!! Fun, but busy. My cousin, Lauren Floyd, got married today in the Bountiful temple to Sean Stewart. CONGRATULATIONS!! It was fun to see family on my mom's side that I haven't seen in a long while, some in years!! Afterwards we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Eldredge Manor in Bountiful. ( A quick fact I learned while at the luncheon- Lauren's new father in-law is an author and has been on the best seller's list! I'm practically related to a famous author!! Hee Hee!!) Then it was off to watch the BYU vs. Utah football game. We were invited to watch it at a friend's house in Pleasant Grove. They have theatre seating in their basement and a huge screen that took up the whole wall. LOVED IT!! Now that's the way to watch a movie in your house. The kids played and we had lots of good food, good company, but not so good entertainment. If you were rooting for Utah, you loved it. So there weren't to many happy people in the room, espe...

I took Jason up to Primary Children's Hospital this morning. He goes there every 6 months to see the cardiologist. And once a year he will have an Echo done. Jason has come to love the doctor because of the fun things you get. I'm glad my kids aren't scared. An Echo is an ultra sound of the heart. Jason has a small hole in his heart next to the main valve that takes the blood out of the heart and to the body. We go to make sure the valve isn't leaking. Things haven't changed from a year ago, so that's good. We will go again next year! (Jason is waiting for the ultra sound watching the movie) The last few years Jason has had to get sedated and that was terrible! I am glad he is older and can be still long enough. He watched Madagascar during the Echo. Yes, ALL of the movie. Can you imagine laying down and holding still for 1 1/2 hours!! Jason did awesome. I nodded off a few times during it! The lights are off and the movie is a repeat for me for the 1,000th time...

David is over the top excited about his next BIG project starting some time the beginning of next year! They found out this week they won the Laie Hawaii Temple remodel. They are totally gutting it from the inside and David's company is the one to do all the wood work inside. This is a dream come true for David. When he was on his mission in Chile, he decided then that he wanted to build temples for a living. He always thought he would be the general contractor to do it. Little did he know that he would be doing his ultimate passion, the beautiful woodwork inside the temple. He won't be the one that does the actual building, but the over seeing of the job and working closely with the church on it. Last night we went to our Stake Temple night. The temple president said that someday the world would have over 1,000 temples, as quoted by Pres. Kimball. David leaned over and whispered to me and said "maybe that's all we'll be doing soon, temples"!! If that's t...

Last night while reading a book in our front room I heard Jason make a funny sound up stairs and then nothing. I thought if he needs me he'll come tell me. Well a little later I was walking up the stairs and there was Jason, right in the middle asleep. It's been a while since he's taken an afternoon nap, and he was probably just so pooped out he thought the stairs would do! I took him up and let him go to the bathroom to finish the job he'd already started in his sleep. He then said "Mom...I told you...I missed you!" Every sentence he starts with is "I told you-" even when he didn't mention it at all before. I gave him a hug and told him I missed him to and laid him in his bed. I love this little boy to death!!
