Time flies when you are having fun!

On Saturday the kids played kickball at the park with some of the neighborhood kids and dads. The boys had fun. It brought back fond memories for me, we used to play kickball a lot at my grandma Grimshaw's with all my cousins.






This is Kyle pulling Meadow's hair. Really she just started crying, but he did grab on to her hair.



















Tyler graduated from preschool on Friday. They had a graduation program where they sang songs and recited some poems. Tyler is quite the little singer. He knew all the songs and his voice could be heard over all the other kids. I was a little surprised, I didn't know he liked to sing so much, I guess he takes after his dad. I guess I was surprised because he really doesn't sing at home much. He did a great job! These are his buddies from the neighborhood, Ryan and Ethan.









Ray celebrated his 34th Birthday. It was a lot of candles for him to blow out!

Last weekend we went with the Grimshaw's to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.

We drove down to Kanab Friday afternoon and stayed in a hotel. We went to dinner that night and went swimming at the hotel. On Saturday we drove over to the dunes. The kids had a blast! Tyler and Trent loved riding the four-wheeler and going for rides in the dune buggy. We had a great day, we went over to the "corral" area and there were some large pine trees that kept it shady all day long. I loved that because if you know me I can not stand being in the beating sun for very long. When I was little we used to go to the coral pink sand dunes for Easter with my grandma, grandpa, aunts,uncles and cousins - good times. We would camp, which was fun, but it was nice to stay in a hotel, especially with 4 month old Kyle. We had a fun day and drove back home Saturday night.




This picture was taken on Mother's day. Apparently it was to sunny for the kids. They take after their mother and can't open their eyes if the sun is out. Kara is holding her mother's day present that she made in nursery ( a noodle necklace) she told me it was hers, so I let her open it and wear it. She is funny. She did the same thing at Christmas time. They made a wreath out of puzzle pieces painted green that had her hand print in the middle, she called it "her hand" she loved that thing, and of course it wasn't a present for me, it was hers.

Welcome to May

Over the weekend we went down to my parents house. Well, just Saturday morning we went down and came back Saturday night. Mitch graduated from SUU so we went down for the graduation. Go Mitch! Mike, Ashlee and Jensen were there too. After the graduation we had dinner then we headed for home. I wish we could of stayed longer, but it was a fun trip.

I haven’t been up to much. I have been kind of trying to work in the yard. I got some onions and peas planted and hope to plant more this week. I planted my tomatoes from seed again this year (inside) I did it a little bit later than last year (next year will do earlier) but they should be ready to plant in a week or two. I am excited, I love getting veggies from the garden, especially tomatoes, yum! I had some potatoes that I didn’t dig up last year and they spouted and were plants. The potatoes were where we were going to till so I moved them to a new location and they seem to have survived. I need to get my other potatoes planted too.

Kyle is just getting big big! I can’t believe that he is almost 4 months old. He is the best baby ever. He has been sleeping through the night which I LOVE! Just this last week he has discovered his thumb. I am against thumb sucking, only because I was a thumb sucker for way to long. I remember coming home from kindergarten and sucking my thumb on the couch. I also remember that it messed up the way I swallow (or that is what I blame it on) I would push against my teeth when I swallowed and the dentist said that I couldn’t get braces until I corrected it or it would mess up my teeth once I got the braces off. As far as Kyle goes, I think it is cute and it does sooth him. I still try to just give him the pacifier, but it seems to fall out and then when I check on him he has is thumb in his mouth. At least with the pacifier I can take it away when he is one. I guess if he is still sucking his thumb I might have to put a sock over his hand and pin it to his pj’s, that is what my mom had to do to Tennille when she was little. It got her to stop though.

Kara is still my little helper. She is a funny little girl. She always tells me when she is big like me then she can touch the ceiling, random.

Tyler is mister social butterfly. He has several friends in the neighborhood that he always wants to be playing with. He also likes to go everywhere barefoot, including riding his scooter.

We got out the bikes and Trent’s was to small, so we got him a new one and he has been riding it a lot. He is very thoughtful young man. A boy in his primary class had a birthday and so he came home and made him a birthday card and took it to him.

Well that’s our update!
