Spring 2019

We are headed into spring time and are anxious for flowers and sunshine here at the Leaper house. We are enjoying Tommy being home even more for breakup. We are planning a trip to Mall of America next week that we are really looking forward to and we are planning some camping trips with friends this summer. Life is good. We are so thankful for Gods intervention in our life and for answered prayers. He answered our prayers for a change in Tommy's career and we feel so blessed with the career that God provided. Tommy had me out driving the buncher today to pull him out because he got the skidder stuck.... I have a feeling i'm in for many adventures being a loggers wife :).... I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I haven't wrote for awhile so we have lots to catch up on.

-Vera was walking at 14 months.

- Vera at 20 months:
-Says dada, mama, elmo, more
-She loves elmo!
-She throws things when she's mad..
- She always wants to pray before dinner. She says "hands" because we hold hands during prayer at the dinner table :)


Everett at 4:
- Everett said to me "you have little elbows" while staring at my boobs.... he meant boobs!!
- I was laying with Everett in the night because he was all stuffed up and needed me. I was freezing cold and couldn't get warm and as Everett was struggling to talk in his "nasaly" voice he says "I'll put my hand on you so you can be warm." I didn't even say that I was cold but he recognized it and wanted to warm me!

Everett at 4 1/2:
- Everett rarely shares much about school. We figured out the trick to getting some info out of him: cookies! He opened up more than ever before and told us about every detail of his day at school instead of the usual "it was good!"
-I overheard Everett say "Holy sh*t!" and I said "where did you hear that from?" He said "from my great great grandma!" (I'm pretty sure he heard it from "Harry and the Hendersons"... one of his favorite movies)
- Calls "walkie talkies" Walkie Tonies!"
- Calls the movie theater the "bird feeder"



Random thought that I wanted to share for my kids in the future: I read the book "free of me" by Sharon Miller and I really recommend it!


My children if you're reading this: Always remember how much your loved. By me, your dad and your heavenly father!

XOXO,
