Smokin' Hot

Austin is doing great this week.  After a solid 24 days of the horrible respiratory issues, he's no longer coughing.  We're still working to get a specific date for his surgery in April.  I will keep you posted.

This week has been filled with funny little sayings by the kiddos.  The things kids say!

Austin: (While playing an eye spy game at a restaurant) looks around and sees the tortillas smoking.  He says, "Eye spy with my little eye something smokin' hot."  I say, hmmm, the tortillas!  He said, "No, my mommy is smokin hot!"  Is it sad that it gave me the biggest ego boost?  Anything you want for Christmas dear.  It was just so funny to hear those words come out of my sons mouth.

Austin: During the testing before a parent teacher conference at his preschool, the teacher asked Austin to read a sentence.  He said, "Mrs. Burch, what are you thinking?  You know I can't read!"  Luckily I found out that Austin was in the top third of his preschool for reading.  Phew!

Ashley: We have a new picture of Jesus on our wall and whenever we walk out, Ashley looks up and says Jesus!  It's really sweet.  Well, sometimes if I get upset I'll say "Oh Gees."  But Ash thinks I say something else.  So when she gets upset she'll yell out "Jesus!"  All the time!  

Ashley:  She loves to do anything Austin does.  Color out of the same book. Use the same crayon.  Pee in the same toilet he just used.  Eat the same snack, same color, etc.  Austin is patient 90% of the time, the other 10% he's had it.

We feel very fortunate to have a week free of illness.  Also, that Austin bore his testimony today in chuch.  

We're saddened at the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley this past week but know he's in a better place with his wife and our Savior.  

We hope Jodi and Brigg have a wonderful stay in warm San Diego the next few weeks!  

Love,

Angie
