John Bryant

I have to write this before I forget...
The way Bryant sings the ABC's:
(To the correct tune of ABC's)
ABCD, KEY, FGHI, KK, LMNOP, QURTUVWXY, KEY Z

How he sing Baa Baa Black Sheep:
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Have you any way?
Yes sir yes sir
Three bags full
One for my master
one for my daisy
one for the little boy that lives down the wane.

As a Child of God:

I went to earff wizz power to choose
Good choices in my family too!!
As a child of God I beceive special wite
The holy Ghost helps me to know what is white.

My Design Style

I took a Design Style test on HomeGoods website and guess what... it was exactly right. This is what it said about me...



Kari
, You Are A
COUNTRY CLASSIC

You have a naturally refined sensibility with an appreciation for tradition and history. You value beauty, craftsmanship, and family heirlooms, but you like to open things up with pretty, easy-going pieces like painted wood or distressed furniture, lovely florals and other patterns, and bunches of fresh flowers that give your home a breezy, relaxed feeling. You love unique finds, have a thrifty, creative side, and can make these things work together.

You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.

Loving my Kiddos!!


Dallin Man
Dallin:
He loves to talk with his hands. Really I think if we tied his hands to his side he wouldn't be able to talk at all.
He is awesome at helping keep Charlie happy when I need to get something done really quick. He will talk to him, dance for him or sing to him. He loves his brothers and is learning how to be more helpful.
Something funny he has said lately: While at the dinner table we were going over opposites and Corey was asking what is the opposite of up... opposite of big...etc. Then all of a sudden Dallin says,
"Dad, what is the opposite of across?"
We had no idea, he reponds "UNacross."
Of course!! We had a good laugh!!!
John Bryant
John Bryant:
My little Bryant loves to sing. He will come up to me and ask me to sing a new church song he has learned or the alphabet or "I'm sexy when I know it" as he call it. He is a lover of music!!

He is also a huge helper with Charlie. When I ask him to help me he does it with almost no complaints. He will sing to Charlie and after a few minutes will say to me, "Mom I can't sing anymore." He also will help Charlie without being asked if he sees that Charlie needs a friend he is sure to go give him a friendly hi and smile.

I love that he is more independent too these days, like doing his own hair brushing his own teeth (in the morning, we help him at night) and he helps to get Asher dressed.

He reminds me of a mini Corey and it cracks me up how much I can see my husband as a little boy in him. Sometimes when he talks to me I feel like I am talking to Corey 26 years ago.

Something funny Bryant has said: Bryant walks up to me while I was doing dishes and says "Mom is my hair getting longer?" I look and say "Yeah a little bit." Bryant- "Good, cause I want it to be long like yours because I want rock and roll hair!" (He loves 80's music and always wants me to whip my hair around like the 80's singers)
Asher Bo Dasher
Asher:
Oh how I love my Asher!! He is a sweetheart. He is very concerned about others. He's a good listener and although he doesn't talk very well yet he can understand a whole lot!
He is working on talking though and if you were me you would almost always be able to understand him.

I love his silly like waddle walk. Poor boy is pigeon toed or something and it causes him to walk a little funny. But he is so stink'n cute. He can't really run because of it but oh boy he sure does try and I love it.

This boy does not like to be naked. We have tried to start potty training him but he refuses to be naked. Even with just underware on he hates it. Every morning he brings me his clothes that he has picked out to wear all by himself and his shoes and socks and we get him dressed. He loves to be ready for the day first thing. Not sure where he gets it, most of my mommyhood life I have spent in my pj's.

I love his precious moment baby eyes, Big and brown and oh so adorable!!
Charlie McFarlie
Charlie:
I love this boys smile!! It is contagious!! And his little giggle laugh too!

He is a wiggle worm of major proportions!!He doesn't stop kicking his legs and loves to bounce and shake his arms and hands.

He definitely recognizes other's around him now and will follow his brother's, dad or I around the room while he sits in his bumbo. He loves to be around people and loves to have them talk to him. I have a feeling he will be a little social bug like his big brother Dallin!! They are a lot a like in so many ways!!

He is a pretty happy kids although he is not a very good sleeper. He loves to cuddle (another thing his brother Dallin loved to do when he was a baby) So most nights, who am I kidding, every night he sleeps cuddled up next to me, so that he and everyone else in the house can sleep, but not me.

I love my kids so very much. Sometimes they drive me crazy, and I wonder if I'm really doing anything to teach them how to be good people but I know that there is no other place I'd rather be, or doing anything else then spending my whole day everyday with these, my 4 best friends in the whole wide world!!

My Big Helper

Bryant loves doing his hair all the time now, he says, "See mom, I do know how to do my hair, so now you can let me do it for church ok!?" So cute!!
He even helps get Asher dressed and does his hair for him too.

Our Bee Hive

We've had a beehive in our tree for a little over a year now. We didn't really mind having it. Dallin loved the bees. They were pretty nice actually. They kinda became our pets. Dallin would catch them in jars and then release them, they never stung us and just kept to their busy bee stuff. My flowers looked awesome. But then last week they were moving on to our neighbors trees where her kids play and since our hive was so big and needing to expand I started to feel guilty about other homes being invaded by them. So we had it removed. Here are a few before and after pictures.
Before:
see the dark triangle, that is the huge hive. Way high up in our tree.
This is it after it was cut down.
Dallin saying goodbye, we will miss our hive but we're happy it won't be bothering others anymore.
