Tiff...aka Mom

I am a stay at home mom! It is crazy busy, which most of the time I Love! :) There are some days......anyway. Jentrie told me when she was 3 that she couldn't wait to be a mom so she could: peel potatoes, pay bills and drink diet pepsi....so I guess that is what I do. Fun huh! ;) I love scrapbooking (alone or with the girls!), being with my family and friend, I like cooking, bottling and sewing. I am trying to be more dilegent and read my scriptures this year! What I don't like is arguing, messy houses...but that is a given with my crew! Lol I also dont' like to clean the messy houses! I love to read, watch a good movie and popcorn...oh and don't forget that diet pepsi!

mommy moments....

sunday August 30th,

In your mind picture us as a family sitting in Sacrament while it is being passed and hear this conversation between daddy and 4 year old Peyton:

"Daddy, what are you doing?"
"Thinking of Jesus (like you should be doing.)"
"Do you miss Jesus daddy?"
"Yes, daddy misses Jesus."
"Why, is he dead or somethin'!"

Okay, this just made me laugh...after church Rhett looked at me and said "is he dead or somethin'...where do they get it from!" It reminded me of when Dallin was close around this age and he had asked his dad the same question
"daddy, what are you thinking about?"
"I am thinking about Jesus"
"I'm not, I'm thinkin' about guns...!"

oh my boys! lol!

Mommy Moment.......August 2009

2nd day of school.....

I had a conversation with Mr. Larsen at the High School (he is Rhett's boss and his wife is Dallin's 4h grade teacher) anyway he told me about Dallin's day at school.....

During Math Dallin had fallen behind due to a mistake, a mistake to Dallin means to stop the world to make the mistake right instead of moving forward and going back when everything else is done. Therefore he fell behind, so then he starts to freak out! (seriously, freaks out!!) He became all frustrated and upset and Mrs. Larsen went over to Dallin to ask him what was wrong and his reply was "Mrs. Larsen, I am on BRAIN OVERLOAD!" lol...

only my Dallin! gotta love it! I am sooo proud of him and his determination to make this year work!

Mommy Moment.... July 31, 2009

this is my valerie's bad day: she woke up to go potty only to find her barbie's plate of cookies in the toilet...(the first tears of the morning)...then she went to go get her bubble gum out of the car and peyton chewed every piece...(second tears of the day) and her comment "I am just having a bad day....nothing is going right"....poor sweetie...(wish we could go back to having bad days like that!) :)

and she went to bed after tears about a sore throat...only me thinks it is just the results of a very tired little girl from the time she woke up! :) mama loves ya sweetie!

Mommy moment...

June 17th:
Okay..we have chickens...and 2 have been really consistent at laying. One has NOT been doing her job! And that ONE just so happens to be "Tiffanie Jr" (thanks to my SON for naming that dang bird after me!)...anyway! On this day Peyton came screaming in with an egg and a big 'ole smile on his face saying:

"Look mom.....Tiffanie Jr. is finally doing her job!"

Lol...funny...whatever! Rude naming a chicken after me! All in the name of love...yes, that is what my son (yes..Dallin) told me!

Mommies Moments:

Hey! It has been a while since I have posted some mommy moment...which is bad because then I really do forget!

This morning (5-21-09), Dallin was showing his dad his new Day's of '47 Activity Book. This book has some Utah History in it along with color pages and other activities. Rhett being a History teacher, Dallin knew dad would like this book. Dallin came to this page and read, "A monument now stands in honor of Utah's founding pioneers at one of Utah's own State Parks. "This Is The Place Heritage Park" (which Dallin has been too) Rhett said, "And to think your very own great great grandpa was the first man to arrive at this spot 2 days earlier." I said, "Really, who was that?" Rhett said, "Great Great Grandpa Orson Pratt." and Dallin's reply was this (classic!), " Hum, and after all that he dosen't even get a singe page in this book." LOL....kinda like "I arrived in Utah first and all I got was this dumb T-Shirt!" lol! Oh my Dallin!
****************************************************
A few days ago, I had something in the Microwave and when it dinged Valerie said, "Mom, can I answer it!" lol!
****************************************************
Peyton: "Mom, when I grow up to be dad's age I am gonna be a super hero huh!"

Mommies Moment:

April 1st, 2009

When I went into wake up Dallin, Peyton was in bed with him...which I thought was really cute as long as Peyton wasn't in bed with me, he is really hard to sleep with and can take up a WHOLE king sized bed!!!! Well Dallin came in to visit me while putting on his socks, this is the conversation:
"Mom, I got up with Peyton last night and helped him go potty.'
"Thanks Buddy, that was really nice of you to do that...he doesn't like to have to get up to go to the bathroom."
"That's okay mom, but then Peyton asked if he could get in bed with me...and I said sure."
"You are a good big brother bud!"
"Whatever...when I said mom, that was like opening the door to haytes....you, know mom, the nice word for the H E $$ (spelled)! Man he is hard to sleep with and I am really tired!"
laughing I said "Now you know why I like him to sleep in his own bed...next time just get in his bed..."
"Oh, I will! For sure!"

This made me LAUGH!!! Dallin and his WORDS!!

Mommy Moment 3-12-2009

Because Bubba was SOOO bad at the Dentist he didn't get a treat at Walmart! (so proud of me for NOT caving! Dallin didn't get one either for a different reason...he was good at the dentist...but not at getting homework done!) The girls had been very good...got their teeth cleaned...did their homework in the car on the way...ect....and didn't rub it in the faces of their brothers...which was so not normal! lol!

So at the store I let the girls buy something for $1.00...yay they had Hanna Montana T's on clearance for $1.00! AWESOME! Well, Peyton decided that he wanted a treat and
I said "NOPE...you were way naughty at the dentist!...NO TREAT!"
Peyton (with his arms folded in a huff) "Well Mom, that is just not very fair....I not be YOUR mom NO MORE!" LOL!

He has been saying that little phrase alot lately when he doesn't get his own way...gotta love 4!

Mommy's Moment....2-19-09

Tonight I was helping Dallin with his spelling words. When I give him a word I put it with a sentence. This particular word was 'lunches'. The sentence I said was:
"Dallin prefers school lunches over home lunches."
Dallin said, "No offense mom, but...."
Mom said, "Wait a minute! How many lunch ladies put chocolates in your lunch bag that say...'I'm wild about you!'." (valentine treat)
Dallin said, "Actually, not many! But they do make a mean upside down cake!"

I guess I can't win....home lunch monday....sloppy joe and apple spice cake with butter cream caramel frosting...we shall see what he has to say about that!!! lol!

Mommy's Moments..... 2-11-2009

This is an email I recieved this am from Dallin's teacher Mrs. Hatch...so cute! :

As I came to school this morning, I got just behind your kids. They were at the back door and I heard Dallin say "Mama Mia". Of course I replied and asked them if they thought they would have to wait here for an hour. Dallin said no but not to worry, his coat is VERY warm. Your little Valerie piped up and said, "And my coat matches my outfit". I loved it. Have a good day

My reply was... "She is so girl!!!" basically it is okay if they freeze waiting for the door to open as long as the coat matches the outfit!! lol!

Mommy Moments.....2-10-2009

Okay...today I had a very immature conversation with my 3 almost 4 year old today over BALLOONS!! He had popped his balloon (thanks uncle brady for the balloons!!!) and wanted Valerie's and I said no...and he didn't like that and threw a big ole fit! So I got rid of the other balloon to dispense of all arguments.... and said "there, now NO ONE gets a balloon!" then out of my mouth so fast came "So bite me!!" (which I should not of said I know...) but this is what Peyton said...
"I will bite you mom, hard and you will cry!"

lol, I thought that was funny!

Mommy Moment.....1-9-09

Jentrie approached me tonight with a piece of paper and some numbers written on it...

"Do you know what this number is, Mom?"
"Well, it's a 1-800 #....."
"Do you know for who?" "Nope. Who?"
"Kidz bop 14....and you have to be 18 or older to order with a Credit card (as she puts her arm around my shoulders and lays her cute little head next to mine) and I was just thinking you could do this for little thing for me and call this # and order it..."

All said with a big ole grin and a gleam in her eye! Dang...her Birthday isn't until Oct! :) Oh the joys of motherhood when your babies learn to spell and write...lol!

Mommy's Moment ... 9-19-08

Sept 19, 2008

Valerie is our sleepy child, she does NOT like mornings!!!! As she sat on the couch while I was putting on her shoes..she was complaining in her sad and whiny voice about how much she DID not want to go to school...
"But you like school, Abby (her dear little friend) is there and you like Mrs. Mason (A.Kayla's mom)..school is fun." I said to her. Her reply was:
"Can't Abby and me and Mrs. Mason come to our house and have home school?" Too funny...seriously home school...where do they get this stuff. LOL!

Mommy moment...9-12-08

9/12/2008
YAY!!! Dallin received 100% on his spelling test...this is a first for us and I am very proud of him. He sometimes is very uninterested in work (well most of the time!) Homework is my headache!! He has many reasons why he shouldn't have to do it and he is only 8! But we are getting there. This 100% was huge for him and he was so excited!!! Of course the little "you're a star" treat I snuck into his bag helped. Which I also informed him wasn't going to happen everytime because the reward for doing a good job is knowing that you DID it!! and you succeeded! Good Job Dallin! I love you and I am very proud of you! Keep working hard. Love, Mom

Mommies Moment...9-9-08

9/9/2008

Visiting with Dallin's teacher....again....this is the funny, kinda, thing that he pulled today.. Dallin is huge into paper airplanes. I recieve lots of little notes writen on paper and turned into airplanes :} Yes, today..he apparently, so badley wanted to throw an airplane and have it be legal to throw in class. In the time it took to come up with the whole 'air mail' plan, he could of delivered the message to the teacher's aide (who works in his class) in person...but noooo just had to throw the airplane. The funny thing was the message was just to inform her that he was finished with his reading. Even though Mrs. Hatch (who watched the whole thing) had a visit with Dallin about why we don't throw papar planes in class...she got a kick out of his thought process. (of course he dosen't know about that!) Will I survive his school years?

Mommies Moments....9-8-08

9-8-08
I just write new ones so I don't forget the old ones, so please bare with me and my millions of mommie moments! This one is about Jentrie...our sweet little girl who is now the cuss word Nazi!!! :) It is all good! Her and Dallin came up with a word list of all that bad words we shouldn't say in our home...and hung it on the fridge...yes there is a list of naughty words (use your imagination - a few may shock you!) that we don't use in our house and if you do use one of the words you get a big ole X by your inital....well last night right after Family Home Evening, someone pulled up to the house (we found out later is was Uncle Brady) anyway daddy was in his underclothing and said a little 'D' word as he ran to the bedroom for coverage....Jentrie came up to me and said;
"Mommy, daddy said one of the naughty words on the list, we need to put an X by his inital" (Big ole grin on her face for bustin' dad!) To cute!

Teacher Comments...8-28-08

Back To School Night - 8/28/08
Dallin's teacher Mrs. Hatch caught me in the hall just before this shindig started...
"Oh, Mrs. Jackson! Your Dallin is the funniest little boy.....the story he told us today...just out of the blue has made my week!"

I am thinking to myself..."Oh no...do I want to hear this?"

"What did he tell you?" I replied

"He told us about the Christian Cat burial that he gave the dead cat found on your lawn..." heheheeee

"The Christian Cat burial? I was not aware of the one for the cat, but I was aware of the one he gave the garden gofer..after he shot it!"

More laughter!

I informed Mrs. Hatch to keep a Dallin journal...someday his stories will be famous! The Christian Cat burial story is known by all at GVES! She is very excited to have Dallin in her class, he will keep her WELL entertained

Daily Scripture: Prayer

3 Nephi 18:19-21
"Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name; And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall recieve, behold it shall be given unto you. Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed.

D&C 10:5
"Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servents of Satan that so uphold his work.."

D&C 4:1-7
"Now behold a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work; For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul; And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work. Remember faith, virture,knowledge, temperance, patience, browtherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen"
