Road Rash Anyone?

We went for a Sunday family bike ride and came home like this. There are these roads all paved and waiting for houses to be built on, which isn't going to happen for a few years. SO we go riding there because the hills are so fun with no traffic. Well on the first loop we did well, then the second time time Kolbryn was going down the fast hill but still that wasn't fast enough for him so he was pedaling when going down. I was still up on the top with the bike stroller with Brecken. When I came a round the corner I saw him off his bike crying, Brittin screaming and Logan running. I knew something had happen. I didn't want to pedal to fast because my bike brakes aren't the greatest. When I arrived Kolbryn was bleeding from everywhere and wanting to jump in the stroller and go home, well brittin was trying to figure out how to ride 2 bikes at the same time and Logan was trying not to throw up from Kolbryn's face. We got home with Kolbryn and Brecken in the stroller, Kolbryn's bike on top of the stroller and a screaming parade. Kolbryn was screaming because he was hurt, Brecken was scream because he had to sit next to bloody man and Brittin Laughing because Brecken was screaming at Kolbryn. THen Kolbryn got mad because Brecken shouldn't be screaming because he was the hurt one. I got into the house and James is laying on the couch sleeping and brecken wont come in the house because he still wants to ride bikes with out the bloody man and I need to clean up Kolbryn's wounds. I take Kolbryn up to the tub and leave him there and get brecken in the house. I clean kolbryn up with water with ever touch a scream and I want to go to bed. Finally I give up and take him to bed. I read him a story and then he wants to read his own story but can't hold the book so he wants me to lay in the bed and hold the book and turn the page when he is done. I have the other kids to deal with, James still Laying on the couch. I say I can't I have to take care of the others. I finally give him some medicine and say this will make everything better if you go to sleep. THen he cries and says he doesn't want to go to school because everyone will laugh. So I promise no school or chores tomorrow. Finally he goes to sleep. What a fun Sunday bike ride!

Going back on Track

I made it and so did the kids. They are back on Track and I am loving it. The days fly by when they are in school. I don't know what I am going to do when Kolbryn goes full time. We are loving the weather and playing out side. Today was crazy sock day at school, Logan, Brittin, and Kolbryn all got ready and when they got in the car I asked did any one win the award they all told me no and Logan said no one voted for him so everyone hates him. What drama. Brittin told me how no one likes her because she was on the swing for 2 min. and they said 5 min and so she had to get off. Now no one is her friend. Kolbryn was just happy to go to school. We are getting Brittin ready for her Science report which we should have done off track but are rushing to do now. She is seeing if a HOt candle burns faster than a frozen one. IT looked like the easiest one to get done. THe kids are getting ready for their field trips. Logan is going to the Zoo, brittin the Planetarium and Kolbryn Wheeler farm. Logan invited Nana to go with him because I went with him in Kindergarten and Nana has never had a turn. We are hoping for good weather this Sat. for the soccer and football games. James is going to go roofing so I will have to see how to be in 2 places at the same time, hopefully I will have some loving helpers come and help. THe Joys of mother hood.

Easter

We had Easter at the Kearls a week before. Lets say we had fun. It was fun, really. Cousins and candy what else can you ask for. Just kids that can be grateful I guess. So when Easter came we decorated real easter eggs. We did 24 of them, still not enough to satisfy their craz for coloring them. But can I tell you the week that followed they got satisfied with egg salad sandwiches. What else can you do with cooked eggs? My kids get great joy in this picture of Brecken and the Easter bunny. Last year we went to the mall so excited to show Brecken the Easter bunny. When we got there he was on a carrot run so we looked in some shops and we saw him coming back. Well the 3 big kids went running to give him a hug, so of course Brecken followed. Well when the big guys moved out of the way, Brecken saw what they were running too and stopped dead in his tracks screamed bloody murder and ran back to me. Oh was that the greatest easter gift my kids got. Well it has been a whole year and the only thing the kids remember about easter last year, not what the true meaning of easter is for or what they got, but that Brecken ran screaming from the Easter bunny. Well this year we didn't make it to the mall by Sat. I didn't want to go to the mall on Sat, the line would be too long, So I was trying to think where we could go, so I could get a picture with an Easter bunny. We went to an egg hunt in the morning at Kearns High School, no bunny. We went to soccer game and then to lunch, no bunny anywhere. Then I thought of Macey's they always have something. They did, cotton candy, bounce house, free popcorn and an easter bunny. Well the Kids saw the bunny and were dragging Brecken to see him at first Brecken was jumping up and down in the middle of the isles to get to see him, then with one look at him, screamed and ran the other way. Brittin and Kolbryn laughed so loud everyone in came to see what was so funny. Logan was waiting in the car and I went out to get him so he could get a picture, but Brittin and Kolbryn wanted to show him how bad Brecken scream. So we got Logan to come in and then we had to go on a bunny hunt, with a store full of shoppers. We found him and Brecken would have nothing to do with him, so I made a deal that I would stand in the picture with him. Now that is the story of Easter 2009.

Kolbryn's birthday party

Kolby went to Nicklecade for his party. He had all of his uncles and girl cousins. And if you didn't think that was enough girls he invited one of his neighbor friends (a girl). His invitations were army theme but he wanted Alien cup cakes, so he could have an out of this world time. We were running late because we were trying to decide if Brittin should come because she had be feeling sick. We had waited for her to come home from DIsney world to go to the cade so she came but was really sick and had a bad attitude. We played games and then came out side of cookie and cupcakes. THere was no out side food allowed in so we had to eat in the parking lot. He had lots of fun and was happy to see all of his family

Kolbryn's b-day presents

Kobryn woke up early to open presents. I had put streamers on his door so when he open his door he could walk through them. Well he got scared and thought they were spider webs and didn't know why I would put them there. He got some star wars legos, heeleys, spiderman flipflops, books and a learning game. HE had broken one of Logan's Christmas presents before Logan even opened it so we made a deall that Logan could have one of Kolbryn's b-day presents. With hard thought and consideration Logan choose the star wars legos. All these guys do is play with the guys and then we have a bunch of extra pieces all over. I need just to order the men and then I don't have to spend as much.

Kolbryn's b-day

Today is Kolbryn's B-day. It was snowing pretty hard so we decided to go out and sled. Kobryn wanted to ski, so I got Logan's old ski and boots down and had him try them on. They fit and we headed outside. Well after a half h0ur of putting snow clothes on. Logan can't even do it by himself. I thought for sure Kolbryn would fall and that would be the end. One minute of skiing for the Half hour of putting on clothes. We got out there he put his skis on and away he went. NO falls or anything. I forgot to put the camera on so I thought this time he will fall for sure and it will be great to caught it on film. But again he went down with no falls. He even took his skis off with no help from me and carried them up the hill. This time he wanted to go down backwards. I said I think that would be too scary and prayed he would listen. He choose to listen and didn't go down backwards. Then we decided to build snowmen. Brecken was helping me, so every time I tried to make a ball he would come and crush it. Logan and Kolbryn made their own balls, far way and had a great time. They even decided to work together and make one snowman. they made it pretty tall. Then Brecken started to head over that way. They started pelting him with snowballs so he came back to help me. I had decided to make a snow fort. A little easier no to be destoried by Brecken. The boys finished their snow man and I finished my fort and then we had a snow ball fight. I had to be in the open and they hid behind the fort. I had to surrender and then we came in for lunch. Kolbryn, Logan, Tryce and James are going to the Jazz game for his b-day tonight.
