Reality check, thanks to Jacob

As we were tucking the kids in for bed on Saturday night they were so cute. They are always cute when you are tucking them in and knowing you will have some quiet time. We had just bathed them and done all rituals and I said to Anna how unfair it was that she was so much prettier than me. And Bart said, "Yeah, I just told Anna that she is as pretty as you are, but she is a little bit cuter because she has some of my cuteness too." I thought what a loving, wonderful family we have.
REALITY CHECK from JACOB:
"Yeah Mom, you don't have any of Dad in you, so you got the BAD SKIN. You know since you can't get tan and you have the skin that just turns red. I mean, look at my arm and how tan it is. I have the Fuhriman blood and you don't."
Thanks pal. I had almost forgotten.

This morning we were getting ready to go to the pool. I found an old suit I had forgotten about and asked Bart what he thought. He said to wait a little longer and it would be better. A very nice, married to me for 11.5 years type of response. I thought, what a loving and smart man I married. I'll just put on my other suit. In comes Anna, with Mom, you are pretty in any suit you wear. Love her. Seriously. I think she already gets how much we need to hear that.

REALITY CHECK from JACOB:
"I don't know which one you should wear. I mean, it looks like you have a baby anyway. You don't have one do you?"
Um no pal. Don't have another baby in the oven. Note to self: step up those runs. Thanks Jake.

Nice. Nothing like a kid telling the truth. But from your pictures you do look tan and HOT! Pearl told me the other day that "mommy is soft." So sad.

Bless those honest boys hearts. I guess that's what keeps us running right?

Oh man! So funny. Lane does this occasionally but it is usually something like: why do your eyes have red lines in them all the time? or MOm, you have bags under your eyes. Lovely. I agree with Jenny; I think you look tan and hot also! I think you look super great! Aw, Jacob. give that boy a hug for me!

Thanks to all of you for letting me know how HOT I am. I do appreciate Jacob's honesty and someday, some woman will appreciate it or he will learn to tell her in a more subtle way. Thank goodness for cute boys that keep us in line, for sure!

There's nothing like the honesty of a child. About 8 months ago, Colson asked me if there was another baby in my tummy because it was looking round. That's when I decided to hit the gym again. Gotta love em'!

Olivia's been asking to have a playdate with Anna. We'd love to have her over. When would work for you?

Why we joined this bloggy-blog world!

We hope that we can keep in better contact with our friends and family, both near and far. Besides, it is easier to see pictures this way instead of emailing them! And did we mention we think our family is pretty cute, especially those kids of ours! Check back often and keep in touch!

About Me

I am a proud 32 year old woman (you know they say 30 is the new 20!) I am married to Bart, the love of my life, and we have three amazing kids, Jacob, 6 1/2, Anna,3 1/2, and Rachel 9 mos. We met in college in Utah and lived there for the first 6 years of our marriage. Then we followed Bart's career and moved out to the East Coast. We decided to follow it back to the west about a year ago and are adjusting to life in a new place. We are sure thankful for all that we have and hope to stay in better touch with friends and family alike with our blog!
