  3. I'm A Proud Mom

    in Family

    Posted

    Siouxz, hearing you talk like that about your precious ones makes me so look forward to the many things to come for me :D

    Hehe, and here I am getting so excited about toothies & first words (makes me soo happy I got that book to record all his words :lol: )

    Bryan didn't decide to start talking until he was around 2 1/2. I think that was because Ivy did all the talking for him! :blink: But once he did start to talk!! ha ha ha! My favorite word to make him say was Dilophosaurus! He was hillarious with his little gravely voice! I've got it all on video...it's the greatest movie ever made! tee hee :lol:

    I too, am a proud mom! I can't believe we get a specific place to fully brag about our kids! This is so great! I'll just go in order from oldest to youngest!

    Ivy- She's very much the little mom of the house. Typical oldest child. Loves to have things in order and organization is a must for her! Could be why she excels (sp?) as a manager for the football team. (did you know that she can get a scholarship for that?! TCU coaches have been talking to her about it!) She has a hard time with her mommy's scatterbrained ways but does really well all things considered! The best compliment I ever got about her was this... Her Sunday School teacher related this to me one day after church. When she was 13 or 14 she had a boy in her Sunday School class that was a little touched. People pretty much shyed away from him because he was just so odd. Well, one day they were all talking about their nicknames - eveyone was telling a story about it. This boy usually just sat next to Ivy not really participating in any of the discussions...well he pipes up with "What about Ivyprofen?!" Everyone was like what? what is he talking about.. then he explained... "Ivy! I call her Ivyprofen cuz she makes me feel better! Just like the medicine" How cute is that?! (everyone laughed at his nickname for her so he just said it over and over and over cuz he loved to see them all laughing!!) :)

    Bryan- He's my little artist. Well...he's not that little anymore! 14 yo and taller than his mama! He's also my little smarty pants. He skipped third grade and was told he could go all the way up to 5th if we wanted. That would have put him in the same grade as Ivy, though so we decided against it. I guess the little story I wanted to tell about him is that he's an artist. He's also very shy (he will barely even answer the phone). At the end of the last school year he had to put together a portfolio of his work and go "interview" with the Advanced Placement art teacher. She was so impressed with his work that she sent a letter home to let us know that she personally wanted him in her class. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for him to go and talk to a stranger and show her his work. I'm so proud of him that he pushes his comfort level like that. He's very much enjoying the class so far this year!

    Katie- My little Katie-Baby! I can't stand her because she's so much like me! j/k! I really do love her tons! This year she's joined her school choir and is playing on the volleyball team. She's little miss social and really school is just a back drop for her so she can see her friends! Like Ivy, she too has a gift with people They love to be around her, especially babies! She can get an upset baby to turn that frown around in nothing flat! Being almost 12, all the ladies in the ward have started to call her for babysitting jobs and she is just on cloud nine! I love the fact that she's so outgoing and can talk to anyone about anything. (that's the part where she's just like me)

    All in all....I'm a really lucky mommy! Thanks for letting me brag!! :)

    I do understand your pain. I never had that toy oven that bakes brownies. :D

    tee hee! I had one...and for some reason my mom thought it was just hilarious to get me all the "susie homemaker" toys...could it be the fact that I was much more in to climbing trees that baking things with a light bulb?!

    sorry for the thread-jack! i promise to post a recipe when i get home!!

  23. Hello Hello!

    WELCOME siouxz72! It's great to see you made it. There are a few more refugees from the 'other' forum :P

    There is one who has registerd but just hasn't posted and that is Brother Dorsey. Sure hope he plans on staying and posting, he will be a welcomed contributor to this forum.

    Guess we will have to request a sparkly grin won't we? At least we can be thankful that there are no clapping hands! At least I am glad - I was getting pretty tired of seeing it used instead of posting a sensible worded post.

    Anyways, it is so good to see you here. Look forward to visiting with you.

    Iggy

    Thanks Iggy!! I look forward to visiting with you, too! This is looking like a great forum site already and I've just barely been able to cruise it. I'm so glad I happened across it. As a matter of fact....let me go for a drive-by right now!

    That does sound delicious, MorningStar! And anything to make the process easier is good for me! Now I want to go home and get some of my favorite recipes out to share!

    One thing I did do that I can post here real quick is this... a couple of years ago my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told her that I would like a little book of all the recipes for my favorite foods growing up. You know, the usual Mormon greats....shepards pie. funeral potatoes. etc. The cool thing was that she called all my brothers and sister and got what they wanted to and made us a family cook book. She included all sorts of great scriptural references to food (hee hee) and quotes from various church people as well as all of our favorite foods! I think this is probably the best gift I have ever gotten from her...especially since she denied me the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine when I was a child! (not that I'm bitter about it or anything :blink:
