Mackay is having a fit in this picture. A good one! Mackay, I'm so sorry but Dad and I just laughed. Mackay, you're gonna have to do better than that. You have three older siblings, and a dramatic sister on top of that! We've weathered a lot of tantrums and come through relatively unscathed. So sorry you are experiencing the terrible twos, but really-get over it! Soon.
I think the terrible two's are just a rehearsal for the rest of our experiences about what we want, what we will give in to and what each of us are entitled to. Each family and pocket book has to determine for themselves what their children get but there is one absolute guideline that has been given to us, through modern prophets.
"Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity."
So, Mackay, and Jack, Grant and Hailey- we love you and we're committed to giving you everything you are entitled to. Just remember everything else is a bonus, No tantrums please!

Sorry, Hailey I've read through it three times and it doesn't say anywhere about being entitled to a sister.
Awesome post! I sometimes just look at J (during a tantrum, which doesn't happen very often *yet*) and laugh. I am thinking "really? how can you be so upset about this??"
For Hailey: Sisters present themselves beautifully through cousins and friends! :)
Love it!!!! So true. I needed that today.
Dana-it's great to hear from you! I skied the Sandia's a year ago and wondered how your family was!
