Liam finally took his first steps. Travis was sure it was not going to happen until Christmas, but Liam proved him wrong. Now he is walking everywhere. I'm not to sure how excited I am about this, the other day I could not find him anywhere, so I went upstairs and found him sitting in the toilet. So typical of him. I was worried for I minute that I would not be able to get him out. As soon as I did he tried to climb back in.
The boys have been off track now for a few weeks so I have been busy trying to keep them busy, A few of the activity's we have done are the Clark Planetarium, the Sweets candy factory, (Grandma Salmon went with us there is no way I would have stayed sane without her, Thanks mom.) and the Solomon center where they golfed and bowled with my friend Julie's kids. It has been long but fun.

A Mother of Boys
I don't like dirt and constant loud noise,
So how could I become a Mother of all boys?
Our laundry is colorful, blue green and red,
But this time I was hoping for pink or purple instead.
I always imangined I'd have one or two girls,
in her special "spin dress" dark hair full of curls.
I bought little outfits, hairclips and bows,
Fabric for quilts that for her I would sew.
Then the day came, and we saw on the screen,
There would be no pink, just more red, blue and green.
"How could this be?" I thought in my mind,
That is definatly not what I thought they would find.
I cried many tears, and for days it was rough,
I packed away dreams with the pink girly stuff.
Then one day I realized the fun and the joys,
That would come to a Mother of 4 handsome boys.
I was already blessed as a mother with three,
How much more fun would one more boy be?
We won't break the bank buying everything new,
I've saved the boys clothes and all their church shoes.
I'll still be the Queen of the castle here,
And the first girl they loved till their teenage years.
The three I have are the best I could wish for,
And I know that will be with sweet boy number four.
I can now look back, and often I think,
"Why was I so set on purple and pink?
I would not trade money for the constant loud noise,
That comes with the blessing of being a mother of boys!

Shari, I know it's probably not that funny for you, but I LOVE that Liam was in the toilet!! This last boy of mine heads straight for the toilet, too. We can't leave any doors open inside our house when he is loose. It sounds like you and your boys are doing well otherwise. I love your pictures.
Okay, I have to say none of my boys have climbed into the toilet...yet. And I'm afraid to let them see that picture, for fear they will try!! :) Oh, can I thank you AGAIN for the watch for Breck. That was so, so, so nice of you!
Luv ya
yeahh Liam!! What a climber! Cant wait to see you guys are you going to Annie? I need tickets..
