Hunka, Hunka, Burning WHAT

This morning I was reminded why I LOVE BEING a Mom!!!

So, the kids didn't have school today, and I very nicely ask that all three of the kids TRY to sleep in, thus giving Mom the opportunity to sleep in as well.

Porter's idea of "sleeping in" is any hour past 6:45 ( this is when I wake him up for school.)So it did not come as a surprise to me , that at 7:00 a.m. I was awakened by my dear little man. What did surprise me is how he woke me up.

Light on in the bathroom, sound of stand up peeing, sounds of him clapping and singing Elvis Presley " Hunka, Hunka, Burning Love.

No this is not how we potty trained him, and heck if I know how my son knows the words to the song, but he does, and he was singing loud and proud this morning. You just gotta love it. Seriously, how many people can say, that they woke up to the sounds of peeing, and Elvis Presley.

Anyway, the kids and I spent the day playing together, and then we hit the movies with Grandma Loveland ( we saw" Hotel for Dogs".) Everyone knows that a movie must be fallowed by ice cream, so a trip was made to D.Q. and all were happy and full.

This weekend Derrick and I had the opportunity to go to 3rd and 13th wards ward conferences. It was wonderful to sit with the good people of the wards and learn from them. I am so thankful that we have the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience though the people of our stake. We both came home felling enriched and blessed, but also knowing that we have so much to do, and so much more to learn. ( thanks Judy, for letting the kids sit with you , as we were in our meetings.)

Audra has not been feeling will. We have been keeping a close eye on her. We both feel that she will be fine, but a trip to her heart doctor may be sooner than later.

Brooklyn, is in full swing planning for her birthday. I can't believe she will be 9. She has some great ideas, it will be hard to pick what to do.

Porter, HUNKA,HUNKA,BURNING LOVE. Need I say more?

Hope you all have a great week. Remember that you are loved, and that I am thankful for all you do.

P.S: Pictures of my new dew to come next week.
