Hi. How are ya?
Our van has been giving us some problems lately. One of the problems has been this weird scraping noise on the drivers side in the wheel area. We drove it around for a couple of weeks with it making that noise, and we just figured it was some piece of plastic scraping the wheel. It was very obnoxious. With this week being spring break, I took it to a mechanic in Orem so the kids could go to my mom's house while I was there. The Orem mechanic told me the wheel bearing was bad, and that I would probably be okay to drive it home, but not much more. We drove it to our regular mechanic in American Fork. He called me today and said, "Hi Katrina. Do you believe in God watching out for people?" I said indeed I do, and he told me that the wheel bearing was completely gone and the wheel was barely hanging on an axle. Apparently the technician was able to just pull the wheel off without doing anything at all. He said, "Heavenly Father has been watching over you." (Yes, a true "only in Utah County" moment.) I'm thankful.
I've seen/heard "The Princess and the Frog" 1.4 million times this week.
While in time out today, Aani was sobbing, "Grandma! Grandma! Help me!"
Aani and Addie really like watching the show "Caillou". Caillou's parents make me feel like a terrible mother. "Oh, Caillou, you wrote all over the wall! How about instead of writing on the wall we go to the library?" Yes, how about that? Totally how I react, too.
We're thinking about changing Ava's name to Chunka. She's the chunkiest baby we've ever had. Man alive, those thighs are a thing of beauty. She's learning to sleep on her own. Chunka needs to learn so Mommy can get some quality shuteye.
Anders lost his top front tooth, at last. The tooth fairy is SO. NICE. Not only did she leave him a dollar (in dimes and nickels), but she let him keep his tooth! Our tooth fairy rocks. The neighbor kid's tooth fairy leaves her $10 (probably leaves a bill- but who wants a stupid bill when you could have dimes and nickles?), but takes the tooth. Ours is way better.
Okey doke. Have a nice day!

Your mother has been on her knees, praying for your family I’m sure! Thank goodness for the blessings of safety we receive on a regular basis!
I want to see pictures of this chunky baby because I am not sure that your chunky is my chunky! lol
Thank heaven for little girls to pay us back for all that we put our own mothers through! lol
Dear Katrina,
It is so nice to hear from you. Even if it is only once a month! Your posts make me giggle inside, and sometimes chuckle out loud. I am glad that Heavenly Father was looking out for you. And, I love your Utah Valley moment. I called our accountant once (who is in SLC) and he told me to check out the web site lds.org, chuckled, and then corrected himself. "Only in Utah". Keep checking in periodically. I hear that a good time to blog is at 3:00 in the morning when your baby is keeping you up :c)
Thanks,
Teresa
I remember driving to church with my mom when I was younger and as we rounded the corner into the parking lot, the back driver wheel came completely off the car. Someone forgot to tighten the lugnuts. At least we made it into the parking lot and it didn't happen in the intersection.
Your posts always make me smile. Thanks.
