Down town fun in early spring

WE went to the children museum and liberty park,

Back on track

Both Logan and Brittin got Principal pride on the same day. I set up the chairs for this every other week. Brittin was so impressed that the Principal knows who they are when they have never had to go to the Principal. SHe said when he read out our names he looked at us, the other kids he didn't know where to look. I said that is why I got this job in the PTA so the principal would know me. That's right I'm that kind of mom, only do work when the guy in charge is around. Then Kolbryn had to make a seceret garden, he watched and read the book, So we called for help from our secert weapon, nana and got the project done in a snap. Brittin also had a book report due and had to make a puppet, her book was cinderella bigfoot , she choose that book because she has big feet too, I sewed a body and brittin dressed it in barbie clothes and made a head out of the part Kolbryn garden ideas and shoes again came from our seceret weapon nana who had made them earlier for the kids stuff animals. I think they turned out really cute. Good job kids. Then Brittin had a field trip and Kolbryn did too on the same day, I was babysitting that day but I ran to Brittin's lunch at the park. YOu can see how much brittin wanted me there. She went to the copper mine, park, dumb and Kolbryn went to BYU museum. If you have been around Brittin in the past months you know she is a big BYU fan and this really killed her to have him go there.

Off track

It has been a while since they have been off track but my mind is still crazy from it. It is really fun to be with them all day but it is really great to be with out them too. I tried keeping them busy and entertained. Notice those are two separate activities. Chores are considered busy, entertained is going to a park. SO I keep them busy more than entertained, but I would say entertained is easier than busy. Okay so we went to the Anne frank exhibit, swimming lessons, water wise plant place, church museum. And Dentist, doctors. And probably more places but I am writing them too late after going so I can't remember. During all of this I have cub scouts, soccer practices, piano lessons and PTA stuff. Sorry about all the play on words but that how my mind is played to the extreme.

G.J.

While the kids were off track we finally made it to my mom's house in G.J. The kids got to be splint up so they even had a better time. My mom came to see the kids last basketball games and then took Brittin and Brecken home with them. Then I came down on Tuesday after sports camp with Logan and Kolbryn and spent the night then had fun around the house and then went to a dinosaur museum, that day at the museum they had the smallest dinosaur exhibit open, in Fruita, Co. Then I took Brittin and Brecken home and Logan and Kolbryn got to stay. They learned black jack and went bowling. ON the way back to S.L. They had a big lunch in town and then got back on the road. Well Kolbryn thought he was still hungry and wanted to eat somemore in the car, my mom said that they just ate you can't be hungry. SO he started to cry and she thought that was weird and then she saw him holding his stomach and realized he was going to throw up. Well they had a take home container with food in it and there is where he lost his lunch. So they had to clean out the car, carseat and Kolbryn in a gas station. Sorry mom. Just the other day I was making dinner and Kolbryn came over and said yuck, that looks think my throw up, so that was very nice thought to have while eating. Yes I am one of those mothers that lines her kids up like ducks in a row. Also I like blinding them, I think we are vampires, good think vampires are in this season. The light just kills them. Another thing they got from their dad, he is the worst to get a picture of either he is making a face or the flash makes him make a face.

Before shots

Kolbryn had his birthday party just a couple weeks ago, he went to Hollywood connection and played laser tag with his friends and cousins, papa and nana, and uncles. It was a lot of fun. It was the first time any of our kids had done laser tag and they loved it. Since we had so many kids it didn't cost so much per game. So we can go back because everyone liked it. Here is also a look of what the kid's hair usually look like, I don't know what we are going to do with Kolbryn and his mohawk.

HOw many think Brittin's hair came home this way?

It's offical- I have crazy kids, at least their hair is

Today is crazy hair day. It has been crazy sock, crazy hat and now crazy hair. Tomorrow is crazy shoes. Logan didn't want to do any of it but the hair part, because he is in 5th grade and what 5th grader does that. But today was too much for him to pass up. Kolbryn begged James to give him a mohawk and while I was at scouts he did. Then Brittin's idea was to take a shower at night and go to bed with wet hair and then her hair would be crazy, but we didn't have time after scouts to shower her. But when she saw Kolbryn's hair she wanted a mohawk too, so I said I could do it. Brecken had to join in the craze too. He started swimming lessons and I didn't know if they would let him in the pool with it in his hair, but he wanted it. While doing their hair this morning I asked why do you guys put so much thought into crazy hair ideas and time sitting still and looking crazy but not that much time in doing book reports or finishing homework. Which their reply was a blank stare of mom why would you ask such a question. So now I know my children can get to school on time, be dressed and have breakfast eaten and out the door, backpacks, sock, shoes on with out me hurrying them along. What an eye opening day crazy hair day was.
