Wii Fit

I found out that I have great balance from the Wii fit. Last week I went to Cami's and played. I had a great time. I was being a Wii hog! Here is a pic of Cami doing the Hula Hoop. I know she is going to kill me for putting this on the blog but I thought it was so funny.

Then the boys played the Wii and as you can tell Broc got really into it.

Hair Loss; Hair Gain

I keep thinking, "Man it is taking forever for my hair to grow. " Then I look at pics and I am wrong.
Here are some pics for you to enjoy.

So much going on

I have been such slacker about keeping up on my blog. Things have been really crazy. Here is a re-cap of the past two weeks.












May 27th

Spencer and Cami came over to play with us. Spencer brought over a bug catcher and the boys had so much fun finding bugs. Of course they were all dead, but hey that is okay. They also rode bikes, played on the skate board and played in the sand.

For Broc'sB-Day he got a slip N slide, we set that up and they couldn't quite figure out how to slide on their tummy. It was pretty funny to watch them, they would get a running start and just run down the slide, then slip at the very end or sit on their bums at the end. All in all they had a great time.


June 2nd

Broc went to a new dentist today. They were wonderful with him and he was very good. He wasnt scared at all. He loved it when they took his X-Rays and then when he went to sit in the chair he started watching Monsters Inc. So he was in the zone the whole time. When it came time for her to put some water in his mouth and suck it out she would say, give it a kiss, and it was a long kiss if i do say so my self, but he got all the water out. The end results, GREAT TEETH AND NO CAVITIES!!!!!!!!!


June 4th


Lately I have been hearing about this new water park in South Ogden behind the Ogden Athletic Club. It was finally warm enough for us to go. Our freind Amy, her daughter Hadley and one of the other neighbor kids came and they had a great time. It was a small one, but it was free 99! BONUS. They also had two different play grounds next to it as well, so if they got bored with the water they could play on the playground.






June 5th

I found out in April that they have this bike race for raising awarness for Breast Cancer, it is called the Red Ridding Hood Bike Race. It is up in Wellsville (just before Logan, right out of the canyon). I had every intension of riding in it but guess I didnt finish filling out the entry form the whole way and didnt get in. However my sister in law Amber was able to get in and she loves to ride. She entered to ride the 100 mile race. We stayed the night up in Logan so she wouldnt have to get up too early to be up there. The next morning I took the kids to breakfast and then we hung out in town for a little then went to the park where the race finished at. At the park the kids played for about three hours and they were so good.

It rained all night and into the morning, so the rodes where slick and there was also a very strong head wind. But she totally kicked butt and finished in I believe 6 hours. Great job. The funny thing is is the kids and I were waiting right by the rode to watch her come in and somehow we missed her. So she calls us to ask where we are and we were like well where are you and she said I am done and at the finish line. We are such dorks, I really wanted to cheer her on, oh well maybe next year. Great job Amber!!


One more thing that has been going on around here is our mad rush to get the basement done, or somewhat done. My sister and her family moved back from Nebraska and needed a place to stay until their house sells so they are staying with us. The basement looks awesome! We just need to put the trim up, paint and carpet and it will be done. But that is going to have to wait as we need to save a little bit more money. So we now have a full house, I never thought I would say I have a full house, but we do there is 9 people here. I dont think we are cramped but then I am not sleeping down stairs, so hopefully they are comfortable. Broc sure loves having someone to play with everyday. As soon as her kids are up he gets up and wants to start playing. The other day when we were on our way home from running errands he says, "Mom is my family home for me to play with?" It is so cute! When he says his prayers at night he thanks Heavenly Father for "letting his cousins come to play everyday"

Well that is all that has been going on here. Hope everyone is enjoying the start of their summer and hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Muddy Mess

This is for those of you who think I never let Broc get dirty. I think this proves otherwise.
Actually I was in the basement painting and could see Broc and our neighbor kid playing, so I just let them play. I went out about an hour later because I wanted to know what was so interesting that would keep them in one spot for so long. This is what I came out and discovered him doing.

Thomas The Train Comes to Town AGAIN!

Time for Thomas! We took Broc to Thomas the Train again this year. I think he had more fun last year.

We took his cousin Gauge with us and they had a good time. They both ended up with water bottles, and of course the ride on the train, and I almost forgot, a tatoto. One mile backwards and one mile forwards. Really a waste of money, but worth every penny because he loved it.

Happy 4th Birthday Broc

Four years ago was one of the happiest days of our lives. Our long awaited little boy came weighing in at 7lbs. 15oz. and 21 inches long.

Now four years later he is 37lbs, and about 39inches tall, with a personalty that cant be matched and a heart of gold.
The day started with his swim lessons, followed by getting things ready to have our families come over for some cake and ice cream.

The day before Kris took Broc to get a big boy bike. His other one (which he loved because it was Thomas) kept getting flat tires and the spokes would pop the tires. So he up-graded and also got a helmet. Now all we have to do it get rid of the training wheels. Soon I hope!

Broc kept telling us and his Nanna he wanted a Kitty just like hers for his birthday, she of course knew we didn't like cats, so instead she bought him some Gold Fish. She had originally purchased 4, by the time she got to the house one had died. That night another one died. By the next morning the other two had died. He was pretty upset about them dying but at the same time enjoyed flushing them down the toilet!
He called her the next day to tell of the tragic event and so of course she went on bought him 5 more. We brought them home stuck them in the tank and the next morning 1 died, by the time we got home from church 2 had died, by the time we finished eating dinner the other two died. We are not good with FISH. I would like to say we are going to give up on fish, however I am going to go back to the pet store and find out all the in's and out's on how to keep Gold Fish alive.

For his birthday he got a pool and slip and slide, Hi Ho Cherry O, dinosaurs, books, Lego's ( a Lego Thomas Train too), clothes, Dinosaurs movie, and a BABY! Now this is a funny story...
About a month ago Broc kept saying he wanted to be a Big Brother. I told him that some day he will be and we were just waiting for Heavenly Father to bless us with a baby. That wasn't good enough. So he called his Grandma Chris and this is how the conversation went...

"Grandma I need a baby sister!"

"Your getting a baby sister??????????"

"No I need one, can you go get me one?"
"Where do I get you one, I don't know where to get you a baby sister, you have to wait till Heavenly Father brings you one."
"Well you can just get one at Wal-Mart, or try Shop-Ko!"

It was a really funny conversation! So for his birthday Grandma bought him a baby sister. A baby A-LIVE. I soon found out that it pees! I took the bottle away and told him not to take the diaper off!!!! But he loves it.

However he really did kind of get a real baby sister for his birthday. His Nanna's daughter Kristin had her baby the day before, and she is beautiful. We went to see her on Saturday night and he calls her his baby sister. He was so gentle with her, and sang her songs when she started to get a little fussy. We all hope to see more of her and as much of her as we can, because really she is so cute!!!

That was pretty much his birthday in a nut shell, he had a great day and we are so blessed to have him as a part of our lives, he is the sweetest little boy with the biggest heart.

Pre-School Graduation

I cant believe the school year is over. Last fall a group of ladies from the neighborhood put a Joy School together for our kids. We had 5 to begin with and about half way through added another kid to our group. Broc really enjoyed it and I am sure will be thrilled to be going to Pre-School next year with most of the same kids.

Friday was the last day of school so we had a little celebration. My friend (one of the mom's) found a cute way to make grad hats, so we made those, and she made yummy home made oreos for the kids. We also had these cupcakes with grad caps on the top. I was going to put them on sticks but got to lazy, so they went on top of cupcakes. The kids loved them, thanks Keri for the wonderful idea. I had each kid walk to the top of the stairs to receive their "Diploma" and then told a little bit about each kid as they walked down the stairs. After that they made little sun visors and then we played some water balloon games. Most of the kids liked it, except one didn't like to really get wet, but she was so cute about it.
We had a great year and I enjoyed getting to know the kids that will be going with Broc to school. I also enjoyed getting to know the wonderful mothers of these kids. They are smart and very creative women and I am grateful to have the chance to get to know them better.
