The story begging to be told and other stuff

Well, everyone who was at the Family Conference knows this story is long overdue!! Trust me, as this event was happening the post was being written.

See that sweet little guy up there? It's all about him!

It was Tuesday night of the meeting and the Knoufs were up singing. Well, not all the Knoufs. Levi, Logan and Mia were not up there. I was sitting in the second row behind my husband, my in laws and my kids. Pam's kids had been sitting with me so my row was empty. Levi was sitting on the end of the 1st row by himself. The music was playing and the family was preparing and my husband leaned his head back and said Levi just threw up. Calmly. Just like that. I looked up at Pam and she did that chin point thing in the direction of her son. I looked to my left and saw that there was no one between me and my nephew. I got up and went to him. He wasn't crying. He wasn't coughing. He was just sitting there. With puke IN HIS LAP! I know it had to have been like 10 seconds but in what felt like a minute the thought ran through my head that I could run to the back and get some paper towels and run back up to wipe him off and then Pam could clean him but...that would be ridiculous. So...I scooped him up and RAN to the back of the auditorium out the doors and into the bathroom. Did you read that? Me! I did that!! I gag while cleaning my own kids throw up! When Ciarra was throwing up this time I had Kaylyn run to get her dad. I threw a towel over it and started gagging! When Kaylyn was throwing up I was standing at the bathroom door. When Cuppie was...you get the idea. But I really took Levi to the bathroom and proceeded to clean him up. When he had to throw up more in the toilet I stood in the stall with him! And when he was done I cleaned him up including the stuff that was stuck in the zipper. In the mean while I can hear Pam and the family singing over the speakers! Still singing. While I'm thanking the Lord he obviously wasn't throwing up dairy! As I was nearing the finish line and started realizing that there could be a reward for this I actually was thinking how sweet it would be to cuddle him after the fact you know. I cleaned I get the cuddle? HA! I cleaned him. No joke just wiped off the last little bit and Pam walked in the door. Do you know what I thought? No not that! I thought I hope he's old enough to remember what I did for him today when he gets older! *HAHAHAHAHA* When I was reviewing for Pam all that I went through she said, "I was thinking you would get my mom or something." Y'know what? Why didn't I think of that?! No,I didn't even see her! A N D sometime in the middle of the night and all the review it occured to me that "I don't think we flushed that toilet." Glad to be able to be used for my "little Matt". Love you buddy!

My beautiful niece Mackenzie. Since we are usually the paparazzi this was our self foto. Yes, this was like the 7th try or something like that! Back off guys. Her Uncle is VERY protective! *grin*Grandpa's annual after Turkey hiking party. As long as he can help it there will be a hike after eating turkey on Thanksgiving day.She's gone from not smiling at all to totally "cheesing" it up! Just wanted you to see that I did get a couple hours away with some friends. By the way I was telling Ciarra about all my friends in WA and she was asking me why I live in CA if all my friends are in WA. Hmmm, good question.
