Dr. Bailey Finch

I am so impressed with how my son learns. He loves to learn about the body, he wants to know how everything works. I am taking human anatomy right now and he loves to look through my book and ask me what everything is. It really helps me learn but I can't help but wonder where this might lead him. It is kinda funny that this week I was driving some of the neighbor kids to school with bailey when the subject of the body came up. The other kids were so disgusted about the whole topic, while Bailey was still asking questions. I guess it is just how our family works but we are very open with how we answer his questions. We learned a few years ago from personality books that Bailey learns a lot like Lindsey and that the more information he gets on a subject the better he is with it. I guess you could say he is a realist, requiring the blunt truth insead of a quick and simple answer. We love our little future Doctor and hope we can provide everything he needs to succeed in life.

With mixed feelings I watch the inauguration last night. To give a little background on my feelings, I am a republican, meaning I like small government. I had some concerns with having a democratic president and worried what would happen. After watching the address last night and spending some time reading scriptures I must move forward and have some faith in the man. I agreed with his speech and will hope for a better future... I am so glad that the statement "so help me God" was kept in the Oath of Office. I had heard that some were attempting to remove it. I will work for a better future for our country and hope that others will stay united. I will say one thing, it was monumental.

Getting out in the cold

Yesterday we had a great adventure. Lindsey was in St. George working in the ER, so we didn't have a car at our disposal. The kids were really getting wild from being inside all day so I told them we would take a bike ride in the afternoon when it got a little warmer. We waited till 1 and it was still 33 deg, they really wanted to go for a ride so we bundled up and got out by 2. By now it was pushing 40 deg. and was turning into a really nice ride. we made it down town to "burger alley" and stopped to pick up a movie for the kids. Bailey had really wanted to see Space Monkeys, so we turned around to come home. Bailey asked if we could go down to Wal-mart to look at the toys, but I had to insist on getting home. It was a good thing we did, by the time we were a mile away Bailey had slowed down to an excruciating pace. I asked him what was up, and he mumbled out how cold he had gotten. I felt bad for the kid he had done well but it really was getting colder. we finally made it home to lay on the couches and defrost.
By the way the movie was really fun. :)

So I gave in after a month or so of relentless teasing. Lindsey had gone with her mom to see the movie Twilight. Ever scene she got back it has been Edward this Edward that... I had to see what I was dealing with. Plus to add to the excitement she has started reading the books(she finished the first book in four days). So last night I agreed to watch the movie. I had some preconceived notions about the film... I had heard so much from the media. Well to tell the truth I had fun with it. It had a great love story(that the women love), yet it also has action(the whole climbing trees is pretty dumb though). I think it is a great movie to go and see.

Waiting for Prince Charming

Wow, Kennedy loves her princesses. Last night she came downstairs around 10:00 with her sleeping beauty dress wanting to sleep in it... We started to tell her no and that she wears her pj's to bed not her dresses. She insisted that she wanted to wear it so her prince charming would come and kiss her. We had to let her have a little fun so she got dressed and I took her up to bed. When she was laying down I told her she had to lye on her back and pucker her lips. She didn't quite get that part....Oh well.

Now the sad part of the story is in the morning when she came in to our room so sad. We asked her what was wrong? Through tears she said "He didn't come!" I had to tell her it was alright and that I didn't want her to leave yet anyway. So until then Mr. Prince Charming this is my little girl and I am so in love with her.
