But I had a sliver of fear that some day she would find this blog and read it {she'd probably be too off in the clouds to realize we were talking about her -meanwhile she would be pointing her finger and laughing at this poor MW we are talking about...} anyway, I didn't want her to blog stalk me and realize it was HER we were all making fun of. It seemed that if it were anonymous it would be as rude to make fun of some one. But I guess that is just the passive agressive in me talking.rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504536111883771993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-79927988009223062962008-06-10T23:53:00.000-06:002008-06-10T23:53:00.000-06:00So actually Ansen didn't see MW in SL (I was WAY o...So actually Ansen didn't see MW in SL (I was WAY off with my last comment), she won Miss Utah 2007 or something like that. We watched her on TV one random night at Jen's house. Jen knew MW too and we were dying laughing (plus practicing the walk for Jen's husband's benfit-he didn't know her). You can google Heather Anderson and she's actually in Wikapedia and Ansen also knew 2 of her brothers. So I guess all that "pratice" day after day got her somewhere in the end. Still a good laugh.Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654638195617408351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30626958.post-60558190424579272462008-06-10T23:32:00.000-06:002008-06-10T23:32:00.000-06:00MODEL WALK!!!!

Ansen actually saw her in SLC somewhere in the last year or so and had to call me on the spot. She was incredible and never forgetable. <BR/> <BR/>I have recently been wondering if I need to have a better job system. Right now it's the garabges once a week and the silverware out of the dishwasher (with lots of help). I'm sure my last child will be scrubbing the bathroom floor at 5, but not my first baby.

THis can be a real problem for some families, as the parents do not have the extra energy to teach the kids how to do a job right. So pass on what you learned.

I love the pictures, she looks so cute and so grown up. Did you take them? If so, your photography is really getting good.<BR/><BR/>Children doing chores is awesome. Do you remember when mom told us the story of how she said when she was little that when she grew up she would never make her children do chores? I remember hearing that story and thinking that mom had it all wrong. When I was doing chores I was dreaming of the days when I would have kids to do chores. I have to admit it is not quite as magical as I had hoped, but maybe someday.<BR/><BR/>The girls first chore was helping with the trash. They would hold the bag while emptied and then they moved up to unloading the dishwasher. It still takes Avery over an hour to unload sometimes, but at least she is learning. Hallie is now doing bathrooms, and I can't wait until she gets a little better at doing them because I HATE cleaning the bathrooms. I still have to do touch-ups after she is done. Hayden is pretty much good for nothing still. I am lucky if I can get her to pick up her own dirty clothes.

Especially since you can talk her into them because they are "cool". Hopefully she doesn't catch on early and realize that chores really aren't that neat.<BR/><BR/>I wish that I had a little rascal that was reaching the fine age of chores.
