Weirdos!

Yes we are a bunch of weirdos, the pictures are the proof. There are stories behind them. Kolbryn had Johnny Appleseed day, so he went to school like that, he had apple bobbing, apple racing, baked apples, dried apples, and apple tarts. Brecken was getting ready for church and we found these pants in his closet, none of my other kids wore them so I don't know where we got them but I had to put them on and once that happen the laughing began, just with the pants. THen I remembered I had found a bow tie in the parking lot at school and was going to turn it in but hadn't yet and then the kids said get the nerdy glasses. So it was a team effort. Then we took off the tie and glasses and he went to church like that, his belly is so big that the pants went on top of his belly everytime he walked so it was really bad. I have no idea what his nursery leaders think, oh yea, we are trying to potty train him and is pull up ripped and came apart in class ( because of his big belly) so that was another thing, he was walking around with no underwear on as we walked home from church and the pants kept going up his bum. Then we were play a game after church that made logan go and get something you could turn wrong side out and he chose underwear. So james made him put it on his head and take a picture

the day grammy and pauly pockets came

So grammy and paul haven't come to visit in 5 weeks, so keelee talked them into coming over. All the grandkids had games and all at different times, except logan. So it was a good time to come. The kids had a good time and this time Brecken got really sad when Grammy left. This was his first time feeling this way, so it was really sad, James was suppost to go to GJ and get some vending machines in 7 days so Grammy asked if Brecken could go home with her, Brecken heard this and it never left his head. So she took him to a park so she could leave without a problem but he caught her leaving and he was sad. Come to find out James never made it to GJ so Brecken would have been there for a long while.

River rats!

Yes I am talking about my kids and husband, so my kids. They can not get enough of being in the water, sleeping on hard ground, eating dirty, listening to mother nature and now they have found an actual play ground in the wilderness. I guess the moms finally got tired of entertaining the children while the men put the boats away so they made someone put in a play ground for them. Any case they had fun with their dad on a trip, while I stayed home with brecken. I wanted to go but the thought of staying around camp and watching brecken do everything I didn't want him to do with dirt, bugs, fire, and sticks kept me home. We had fun and went to Jenny's shower and played with cousins.

ward campout

This was our 2nd year at the ward campout at Washburn, this is located between Heber and Prove. I think we spent most of the time eating, unpacking, packing, and sleeping. It was fun to be out as a family. We decided to stop at bridal falls on the way home, my family abandon me, I got to watch the shoes and they got to climb the waterfall. They went all the way to the top. Why I made sure their shoes had an enjoyable time.

before and after

I think the pictures will explain it all, oh this was his first !

Am I dreaming?

I just had to post this, last night I was going to wake Kolbryn up to do his nightly duty and I looked at him and had to run and go get the camera, He was wearing Brecken's pants and he had them on backwards. I had to take a picture of him, then when he stood up I had to take another, well I took him to the bathroom and notice he had no underwear on. When I had put him to bed he was wearing underwear, that is his P.J's of choice. So some how he had taken his underwear off and put on Brecken's pants, but the thing is that Brecken's clothes are in a totally different room than his. So I redressed him and put him to bed. IN the morning I asked him, why were you wearing Brecken's pants. He said he wasn't. I said yes you were and I even got a picture of it, because everyone knows that 6 year olds are smarter than parents, they are always right, so I wanted proof. He said show me, I showed him the picture and he said I know what happen you had a dream of it and then you took a picture of your dream, see what did I tell you 6 year olds are always right.

First day of school

Logan is starting 5th grade, Brittin 3rd and Kolby 1st, how could that be? BUt it is true I saw it with my own eyes, tear filled, but I saw it. Should I say tears of joy. James ask what am I going to do now, with just one kid at home, I say I am not going to be home, I will be helping out at the school. I mean I will have some down time but a lot of help and driving kids from here to there is what my life will consist of. Kolby is in flag football and wants to sign up for soccer at the same time, Logan wants to sign up for soccer and Brittin is already on a comp. soccer team, so I will be busy every night, that I need the day to recoop. I really miss my kids but I am glad they are learning and having a good time. Logan stayed up till midnight the night before school started, he said he was excited, I hope that is what it was, I had to go and sleep with him to help settle him down, it was worse than Christmas. Every one love the first day, but Kolby had to stay home the first day, for first graders they only got to meet their teacher on that day and then come back the next for the first day of school. He is really excited and so is Brittin. THis year they have teachers that our family has already had before. Kolbryn has Brittin's old teacher and Brittin has Logan's old teacher. I can't wait to hear what the teachers have to say about the kind of students they are. I am still going to be teaching classes after school for sports with my sister, it should be really fun. So I say let the fun begin, not meaning spelling list, book reports, showers, finding shoes, looking in back packs, homework being finished, lunch packed, feelings getting hurt. But the learning kind of fun.
