I took it as a compliment or rather as a matter of fact when my son told me this morning that I had "mormon breath". I rarely write down the funny/naughty/sweet things that he says for I can't keep up, but I did love this one. You'd think there was a teenager in the house to learn from for all the huffing, protesting and "oh mom!'s" that I get. I'm learning a lot of patience, or possibly my lack of, from my 3 year old in combo with my 11 monther! But for all the grief I get, I can say that I get at least 3 helpings of wonderful, loving, adorable moments. Right when your on the brink, those brown eyes will sparkle or those red curls will be sticking out just at the right angle and you have to smile. Naturally, I write this after a particularly whiny, stressful afternoon. So while they are content for the moment, one with a cookie and milk and the other walking around with his favorite toy- our phone, I can gather up my brain and be grateful for my "blessings". Addendum: that cup of milk was just spilled all over the rug and the phone has been traded for a fun little game of grab at the laptop. 2 1/2 hours till bed and a night of "The Office" and "Lost". Awesome.

You have such beautiful boys !!!!! I looked at that picture of them on the couch and my heart just melted. Love, Dad
Mormon breath is the best! And way to hang in there through the whiney/tough days. Your boys are so handsome--I can see why the brown eyes and red curls bring a big smile to your face. They bring one to mine too! And no, I didn't ever get to play with the My Little Pony. My mother anticipated my move and used the opportunity to teach me a little about true giving. She told me it was so special to her that she was going to keep it up high on her bookshelf where she could always see it. Darn it! Outsmarted!!
Jennah- what is Mormon breath? Do we all have it at church on Sunday? Can you tell if someone is Mormon just by their breath? This is very interesting!
Glad you wrote this down...especially the addendum. It always happens.
Mormon breath, that's good!:)
