Now that I'm 5

Today is Kambri's birthday. Five is a big one! She thinks now that she is five something magical will happen. She sits at the piano and says, "now that I'm five I can play the piano.". She tinkers a bit and realizes that wasn't the five year old magic that is to happen so she thinks out loud, "now that I'm five I won't ever want to suck my thumb again, and I won't have any more accidents..." (although most of the thumb sucking is under control nights are still quite hard for her and she occasionally has accidents at night). Let's hope that is the magic of being five.

Valentines

I loved making valentines with sweet Kambri this year! We bought rollo's and wrapped paper around it saying I like the way you "roll". She talked about her crush and had to pick out the perfect sticker for him, it said true love, the other boys got stickers w cupcake or candy pictured on them...just so they didn't get the wrong idea.

I love lip gloss

I got a new color of bright pink lip stick the other day and decided to try it out this morning so I put some on just before heading in to wake the kids. I go into their room, turn on the light and sit on Cohens bed. He looks up at me and smiles and says, " can I kiss you?" of course I said yes so he grabbed my face and gave me a big kiss on the lips and says, "I love lip gloss!"

Cohen can count to two!!!

We were on our way home from Utah just before Christmas and Kambri opened the door while driving 75 mph. It scared Brian and so he yelled at Kambri and everyone got very quiet. After five minutes of silence Cohen shouts "I farted!" thirty seconds after that he shouted, "I farted two times!". The first thing that came to my mind was Cohen can count to two!!

Farf-ed

Cohen was jumping on the bed tonight and he passed a bunch if gas, stopped for a quick moment and looked at me and said, "I farf-ed"

Looking so mature

Kambri was showing off her newly pierced ears at preschool this week and one of the girls in her class looked at them and told Kambri they made her look at least five or six years old.
