Funny story......

So I did a huge no no. I let a door to door sales WOMAN in my home. And exactly 48 hours later I realized my GIGANTIC mistake. She stole my house keys. And there was a tag attached to the keys that said 608 N 1275 W. Don't worry about remembering where you picked up these keys! The address is right here. Come back when we're not home and steal anything you'd like! What makes me feel even worse was DJ was out of town for one of the nights. I slept alone in my house with my babies and someone who was up to no good had keys to my house!!!!! So anyway, the sales lady came to my house Tuesday afternoon. I only use these keys (that hang just inside my door) when I run out to take Braden to school. On Wednesday my friend drove them to school. On Thursday as we rushed out the door to walk to school and I went to grab my keys I instantly knew what happened. This very nice sales lady asked if I was a Mormon and wanted to know if I had a Book of Mormon. I said maybe and invited her in, she was just so dang nice! I left the room and came back 3 times. I thought, this is odd, what could she steal while I'm gone? Nothing but my keys. Surely she wouldn't do that?! She kept sidetracking me and asking questions to get me to leave the room. Then after she left, the kids kept me busy and I forgot for nearly 48 hours the premonition that my house keys were gone until I needed them. Luckily my friend Jessica had bought the product. We had the names and phone numbers of the company. I spoke with them many times and they "just couldn't believe something like this would happen!" But, first I called the Police and asked them to stop by so I could file a report. The officer was really nice and I begged him not to laugh at me when I told him the story. I had a locksmith there in an hour and changed all my locks. It still makes me a little nervous that someone out there could be stopping by and attempting to break in. But I'm confident through all my leg work with the actual company that she knows I know, the police were looking for her (that day) and I had the locks changed. Ugh! Long story short, never, NEVER let a stranger in your house. Even if she plays the mormon card and even if she is super sweet and nice!

Dominic's First Day of Preschool

Dominic was thrilled this morning to go to school. We took Braden to school 1st and Dom came absolutely unglued because he thought he was going to school with Braden. We got to his new school and I sat with him for 15 minutes while he sobbed. DJ and I encourage our kids to "use their words" and so Dom kept saying he was scared. Ohhhhh I felt so bad! I gave him to Kathy and left a screaming child. Ugh! I called DJ and he took of work early so he could be there when Dom came out. Kathy said once he settled down she let him have his space and then he was just fine. So it all worked out in the end. This picture is before we left when he thought he was going to school with Braden. This picture is after school got out. Aren't they cute! Pictured with Dominic is Peyton and Sage. Holly, Jessica and I are excited to have our kids go to school together and we're excited to carpool. Yea!!

Corn on the Cob

My friend Jessica shared some corn from her family's farm. It was delicious! Sam was pulling the cutest faces as he enjoyed his corn.

Sam walks!

It's hard to catch Sam in the act of walking. He's so busy! On Aug 15th he took his first steps at the doctor's office while we waited for Dom's well child visit. I sat there amazed and wanted to say to the other mom's Look! Oh my gosh he's walking! But I didn't because I would have sounded silly. Sam spent a week or two just taking a step here and there but mostly crawling. This last week he split his time between crawling and walking and today I only saw him crawl once, this morning. I think he is officially a walker now.

Dominic smiles!!!!

Check out these adorable pic's of Dom! My camera shy boy kept wanting his picture taken!

Typical Morning

The boys like to eat cereal in the morning. Sam thinks he's sooooo big and gets up on the table to eat his.

Dom and Braden wanted to pose for the camera.
