School Daze!

So what if I am a little slow at posting the first day of school! We now have a 3rd grader wow how crazy is that. Ky was so excited to go to school this year. On the first day she scared me when I went to wake her up, she was already awake jsut laying in bed waiting for my alarm to go off. She has happily woke up each day since. It has been fun having Landon home but he misses his sister..

Take That!

I laugh so hard when I see this picture. My mom was trying to show Landon where the spray cheese came out, when she pushed down on it an air bubble came out and shot Landon straight in the eye. It shocked him at first, now he just tells everyone grandma sprayed cheese in his eye.

Easter Weekend

We had the funnest Easter weekend. We went to Utah first and took the kids to Thanksgiving Point. They have the coolest dinosaur museum ever. My kids loved it and actually the adults had a good time also. There were so many cool exhibits and so many hands on activities. We went shopping, to lunch and more shopping. We went swimming and had a blast! The kids woke up to Easter Sunday in the hotel, they thought it was cool that the Easter Bunny followed them to Utah. We swam that morning after breakfast and then we packed up. On our way home we stopped at Temple Square and walked around the Visitors Center, the flowers were beautiful this time of year. We also walked up the Conference Center waterfall and the kids really enjoyed it. My kids have not stopped talking about our little getaway it was so much fun.. When we got back to Pocatello we had dinner with Joel's family, the kids also had an egg hunt. My mom has our pictures of Utah on her camera I'll upload it later.

Just One of those days!

So lately I have had an issue with the blogging world and everybody's claim to have the perfect life and kids and well you get the point. Well I will be the first to admit today totally sucked. I woke up grumpy and the mood lingered the rest of the day. My kids were not little angels today in fact they were the exact opposite. I accomplished a lot today but only minutes later it was destroyed by the above said anti angels. I was not the person anybody wanted to be around today and am hoping I will sleep if off tonight! Stay Tuned!!

Holy Batman!

So this was Landon yesterday. All day he wore his mask through every meal . He is definitely all boy!

One Crazy Uncle

The other day my brother was visiting. The kids were riding bikes so he joined in. He rode Landons bike down the driveway at mach speed,it was so funny to watch him be a kid himself. Oh and did I mention he crashed into the lawnmower!! My kids adore their Uncle Brandon. Each of them have a secret handshake that they do each time he leaves.. They sure love him hmmmmm. I can't see why!?!?!

Silly Girls ;)

Girls Night! Kylie had her two cousins Hannah and Emma over today. They are such goofballs they decided it would be fun to put all of Ky's bows in their hair and then take pictures. We love having the girls over. They seriously didn't stop laughing the entire time.

REALLY!?!?!?!

So it's seems like Landon is always getting hurt. I really need to invest in a bubble , it really is that bad. On Sunday before church my kids went outside and got on the tramp,two seconds later Landon was screaming. He had bitten his tongue and oh boy was there alot of blood Joel and Landon were covered by the time they reached the kitchen sink. I was totally grossed out, when we looked at it after we cleaned him up we noticed he had bitten all the way through. I learned that day that they won't stitch your mouth because it heals very fast. So poor Landon has a hole in his tongue. Landon seemed to do pretty good with his mouth for the next few days, but last night he was up quite a bit saying his tongue hurt. We finally called the doc this morning and he wanted to see him just to make sure he didn't have an infection. So I loaded Landon up and took him in. They did all the routine things and when the doc came in he checked him out he said he was running a temp and his glands were swollen. He left for a few and when he came back he said well It's STREP!! I about died I brought him in thinking his tongue was infected and left with a script for STREP>!?!?! I give up. Life is never dull around here! Cross your fingers that we make it through this week.

Kylie had her piano festival yesterday. She did so awesome she received a Superior! Earlier that day her Aunt Melanie wished her good luck and Ky said, "I don't need it", then later at the festival she said, "See mom I didn't need Melanie's luck. I have no clue where she got her confidence but I am glad she has it! GOOD JOB KYLIE!!

Tumbling!

The kids have started tumbling and they both LOVE it. They are in different classes but get to warm up together. Kylie is the best big sister she is always making sure Landon is doing good. Landon the kid who has no fear was afraid of the foam pit go figure, so Ky got him to the end of the tumble track and shoved him in, it was so funny but he is not afraid anymore! My camera has been acting up lately so sorry about the quality of these photos..

What it's your Birthday !?!

The other day we surprised Kylie with a pretend birthday party. She has this coupon book that when she does her chores she can choose something out of it. She chose the pretend b day party awhile ago but I kept putting her off. So we decided to surprise her and we put up some streamers and we all made cards. We even had store bought cupcakes with a candle in it. She was so excited when she got home. It was so fun to see her face when she walked in the door. Kylie has been such a great big sister we absolutely adore her.

More Painting

It seems like we have painting forever but , It has been 10 years that we have lived here so it is very much needed. We just started the basement we took the carpet out so it has been alot easier to paint without the worry of carpet. Kylie really wanted to help and I usually don't like her to because I'm afraid of the mess but this time we didn't need to worry. She decided to paint all of our names and our pets names on the wall and it kept her busy.. She is the biggest help around the house and we sure love her!!

Poor Kid......

What can I say about this kid he is always getting hurt. We never had to take Ky to the Er or urgent care for an injury,but Landon is on a first name basis at these places. Last night I was making dinner and I heard Landon fall,which is a common sound in our house. I told him to come here and he didn't so Joel went to get him and found him covered in blood by Ky's door, he had once again jumped off Ky's dresser, but this time he hit the corner of his eye on her trophy,which explains the blood.. After we cleaned him up we decided to take him to the Urgent Care so they could check it out. The doc said she didn't feel comfortable stitching it because it was so close to his eye. They bandaged him up and we were on our way. I swear this kid isn't gonna make it to 5.

We love our Grandma :)

My mom dropped by the other day and Ky was playing guitar hero and my mom wanted to give it a try. Well she's not so good and Ky kept reminding her of it. She vows to keep practicing so we'll see.

Smile Landon!!

I love this picture. Landon had just been to the dentist and he was numb on the left side. When we got home I kept asking him to smile and then when he did we would laugh our heads off. He is the funnest little boy always making us laugh..

Gratitude......

This week has been full of moments that make you stop and think,wow I am truly blessed to have what I have. Whether it be health, a job,or friends and family. Well we are pretty lucky to have all of it and there are many that don't. I took a meal into a family this week and the husband has terminal cancer, all I could think about was how bad I felt for them, and the only thing they could do was tell me how grateful they were for all the blessings they have received during their time of need. I hope that I can teach my kids that they should be grateful for all that they have.
