Saturday

This last weekend the kids were excited that one of there cousins were coming to town! We decided it would be fun for them to go fishing! It was lots of fun and I still can't believe my son was playing with worms and using tweezer's to seperate them..... typical boy I guess or more like his dad since daddy wouldn't just rip a worm in half. Anyhow each of the kids caught two fish some trout and some pokey ones. It was fun too see my daughter replacing my spot with my dad (seeing she is the only grand daughter so far).

The funny story about the fishing trip I guess was I was holding Dallyn and tried to cast out Bryson fishing pole for him. Well the hook decided to get hooked to the doc and since it was a side way cast the pole went out of my hands. Daddy saw the hook still in the wood so started pulling the string and after awhile up came the fishing pole. We were all excited. But then as DAddy opened it too see how to replace the line he DROPPED the the part that holds the string into the pond after all that hard work. So more or less yes we owe Bryson another fishing pole.

When the kids were done fishing they decided to play with a construction cone and see how was the stongest.... But then there was my little Lilly that was just a girl and would roll the cone! Then Bryson that would throw it also with his is cousin. It was lots of fun having him here for the weekend!

Bryson and Lilly

As we just finished up dinner Bryson wanted to do the dishes but the sink was getting clogged. It had been like this for almost 3 months but we just plug one side and turn on the garbage disposal. Anyhow Daddy went to go help and as he turned on the garbage disposal it BLEW UP! There was water everywhere. We both had asked the kids to go get big towels in the hallway. Well as the come running as we said "hurry" they have handfulls of toliet paper. We just both started to laugh and tell them how cute they were and then to go get the "big colored towels". Daddy had said "ok now I will use the snake" well there was concrete in the pee trap pipe. Don't know how but there was. Now it should be fixed. But the kids sure gave us a good laugh tonight.

LILLY did it!

So Lilly has been riding her bike now for along time now and she was so ready for those training wheels off. She was scared out of her mind. I am serious out in the circle for 30 minutes hanging on to her and her bawling! I had to keep pushing her to go and she would say "no i don't want too" but she finally did it right before Bryson came home then she got excited to show brother then dad. She still has a hard time starting off but man was she ever so stubburn. I can see why her teachers think she is delayed just like Bryson. She is too funny!

The new walmart out by us opened yesterday so we decided to go grocery shopping and check it out. It was alot of fun. The kids saw the Hot dog car and even went inside it! They thought that was the coolest thing. They also saw a blue dog, the cheeto's man (just a blow up costume with man in it) and an oreo man. Lilly was scared to death of the cheeto man but Bryson wanted to chase him through the store! Wish I took the camera in!

BRYSON!

So for some of you know that Bryson was going to maybe go to a Diagnostic Kindergarten. More or less that is a kindergarten that has 12 kids instead of 25. But it was so far from the house I said we will try Normal and hope we float. I know I will have to work Hard with him but he is so smart. Yesterday and last thursday was HUGE for him. He took some bugs to school on thursday and he told me he was going to count (his teacher said he only counts to 4 I said "umm no he counts to 11) anyhow when he got home he said "i didn't want to" So I told him to get in the car and we went and he counted. At first he said no to the teach but then I told him too and he did! So yesterday I thought what the heck, send his bugs and see if he will do it without me there! Well at 1:45 the teacher calls me and says " I just wanted to let you know Bryson did awesome. He counted his bugs IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS" I was thrilled you have no idea! That was huge and I wasn't there. He wanted a happy meal for counting so when he got home we got in the car and went. We even called Daddy and Grammy and He told both of them that he counted at school! Now that he got a car in his happy meal I ask him "How come you got that car" He says "I counted at school"! We are very proud of him!

Also, scared me to death but I was doing Lilly's hair and all of a sudden I hear this "you ok" and out comes Bryson and Dallyn from their room! Bryson some how got Dallyn out of his crib! Dallyn wasn't crying but it was a little scary but you can tell Bryson loves his brother and didn't want him whining!

Crazy Weekend

So my kids love to go to Lowes now every other saturday and Home Depot once a month to build things. Its a great thing to do and get out of the house and the best part of it all it FREE! The kids have built an Ant Farm, Memory Box, Sail Boat, and a Pencil holder! The love building. Everytime we say we have to go get something from either store they ask "is it time to build". Its great having each store right by us!

Saturday of course was a build day at Lowes so we left at 10:30, then went to our nephews baptizm, to the park right after and then hurried like crazy to the kids soccer game! After that we came home and weeded the back yard and planted the garden! We are attemping this year again! Hopefully it will turn out good LOL! ( Bryson 13 and Lilly 3)

Daddy's work is being a little funny right now. Seeing this his is last week there YEAH they keep saying "you aren't leaving" I guess he said that today his manager has said it like 7 times and he has been at work for 4 hours. It will defenitly be weird having him go back to a normal work week since he has been on 4 10's. This job will help daddy with his degree also. He has now decided to go towards his bacholors in business which won't take too long.

At church yesterday I had noticed Dallyn 2nd tooth had just BARELY popped up. I can't believe he has 2 TEETH! Bryson got his teeth right after each other but he was 7 months old. So our little guy is a month ahead of the schedule but that ok we still love him!

This Weekend

Daddy has graduated it was a Great day and we are very proud of him. Bryson, Lilly and Dallyn were VERY good for being in that gym for 4 hours. Dallyn I had to take out a couple of times to get to sleep but other than that I was very impressed. We have some very good kids! They thoought Daddy's hat was the best. While Daddy was putting his gown on lilly said the cutest thing "Daddy you have dress like ME" We just started laughing so hard. It was cute. Also, Daddy got a new job. He will be an underwriting clerk! It will be a good switch! He starts May 19 and his boss at sportsmans keeps telling him he isn't going to be quiting LOL! They asked him if he could get him more money but he said "no" cause he knew they couldn't pay him what he would be getting.

On another note, Dallyn is growing pretty well. He was 18 lbs 5 oz (75%tile) and he was 26 3/4 inches (75%tile) and I couldn't remember the numbers for his head but that was in the 25 %tile..

He has put him on some more medication to help with his reflux cause the old doctor never would and I only asked him twice so hopefully this will help him. The new peditrician was very nice and was very good! He also wants me to start feeding him solids more like the fruits and vegetable. LOL. We have to put on a CIRCUS for Dallyn to eat just his rice cereal at night. So this should be very interesting we might be wearing his food!

All the kids love Playing out back even Dallyn! I have loved this weather it has been perfect! We will be out most of the week this week if it doesn't get too cold! Bryson at soccer was the BOMB! He scored all of the teams goals. There was another little kid that was really good and they would somewhat pass the ball or at times they would fight over it. But the team won 4-3! Still can not believe Bryson. Lilly was even able to kick the ball a couple of times. We will see what happens next week at soccer!

One of my good friends that moved back to DC had sent the kids a butterfly kit. We watched the catapillars grow, turned into their cacun and then watched them hatch. We let the butterflys go this weekend since it was going to be warm. Here are some pictures of them before we let them go. The butteryfly wouldn't stay on Lilly. Daddy says it must be a smell. So thats why it was placed in her hair. He finally got one on her shirt but that was hard. it really liked Bryson. So my Mary you better get back here to Utah! The kids keep asking to come and see you!

Random stuff

Well a ton of stuff will be going on this week and it will be crazy!
Daddy will be helping out my family tonight, tomorrow he has to study for his final but as Daddy would say "what final me study haha", Thursday he has to go take the last final and then on Friday DADDY GRADUATES! Daddy will more or less have a Major in Civil Engeering and a minor in Business . he starts school again the first week of June so it should be interesting. He will be taking 3 classes from the BYU independant study and thats 9 hours and then the 2 he has at SLCC! HAHA so hopefully this summer we can get done 11 credit hours. For fall he has 11! This next year should be interesting since he decided to switch majors!

Lilly fell on saturday on both her knees but they weren't really bleeding it was more the road rash. She was up ALL night and I mean ALL night. She would fall asleep for 30 minutes and then wake up. Finally by 5 AM she slept till 8:30 YEAH! It was sad but funny on saturday night. She WOULD NOT walk for the life of her. We carried her everywhere even to the bathroom. But finally she would kinda hop like a frog so then I knew she was ok. Sunday morning she would scoot on her bum. Then Daddy went outside, well Lilly wanted to too so then she started walking. She ran into me with a big smile and said " MOMMY I CAN WALK" I just wanted to start laughing and said "that is great lil's I am so proud! So then the life of Lilly the frog was over. We had Family pictures taken later that night wtih my whole family and of course we got the pictures all done and we were walking out and what does Lilly do. Fall on one knee tries to get up and then biffs it on her other knee. That poor girl but she was ok with daddy holding her for a couple minutes and then was able to walk.

One big thing the kids STARTED SCHOOL Again. They were off track for 2 weeks but man you can sure tell when they are off cause they fight so much more and are whiney! I have no idea what we will be doing in August, but July is pretty much taken care of. I guess maybe set up the swimming pool and send them out to play! We will survive! 3 Kids is definetly harder then 2, we just imaged it to be a little easier but We sure do love them all and have so much fun with them!

Big Boy!

Dallyn has been a little onry lately. I decided I was going to make him a shopping car cover becasue he out grew his infant car seat! I took all the kids to Joanns to get material for it and Dallyn was just whinning. Nothing would help. I had laid him down in the cart with a blanket and he was still whimpering. I picked him up and DALLYN HAD A TOOTH! I felt horrible. I swear I didn't see it before. He now has his first bottom tooth! On that note He also is rolling over now. He is growing up so fast I can't believe it. What happened to my little shrimp and now he is my biggest kids! Funny how that works.

Bryson LOVES taking care of Dallyn and so does Lilly! In the morning I will get Dallyn and put him in bed with me till about 7:40 but Bryson also comes in too. But Dallyn get the biggest smile when Bryson comes in. Bryson hugs him and snuggles him. It is so cute to watch him. If I now lay Dallyn on the floor both kids love to come and pick him up and then tickle him. Hearing Dallyn laugh is just so precious. Boy where is the time going?

We keep asking our little princess if she wants her training wheels off and of course she says "No mom I will fall. We take them off when I am 5" LOL! Hoping this summer we will be able to take them off. We ended up taking off Brysons when he was a little over 3. So hopefully then she can go off the curb with her brother. She tries but with training wheels it isn't that great!

School

Here we go again. So Daddy decide after he get his Associate in Business in 1 week to switch majors! This time around he decided Civil Engineering! It does sound more like Daddy but its just another year just for the Associates. The thing is Business you had to have ALOT more generals and the Engineering has a total of 7 General classes. So go figure its like we are starting over completely! So for the next 3 semester we have to take 3 classes. He found this job but doesn't think they will call with the city of south jordan for an engineering tech he meets the school but doesn't know Auto Cad but HOPEFULLY they will call! This is what started it all! LOL! Daddy was like "this actually sounds fun there are so many different things" He is more the hands on guy and HATES sitting at a desk. I think this will be good for him but its just trying to get into the job field now! Thats the scary part that we always hate!

The DOG!

Our lovely dog has been having some weird accidents lately. I guess if the kids or I forget to let him out and then we all go outside to play he decide to go to the bathroom on the sidewalk, driveway, or the street. He hasn't ever done this. So we were all outside (Whally will not go unless told too either don't know why) working in the yard and whally decided to go pee all over the driveway. Daddy started to get after but not bad at all just a "WHALLY dumb dog", Whally ran to the backyard all the way around the house. It was so funny I was laughing so hard and so were the kids. SO the hatch was open on my car when Whally came back out front and decided to try to get into the car like 5 times. Then suddenly out of no where he made it! Daddy and Mommy just looked at each other like "OH NO hope he is ok" (Whally tore his ACL last sept and we are a little scared of him jumping). So the Dog won he got a car ride. Then Daddy likes to carry him down so he doesn't jump out of the car but Whally was being so stubborn. He finally got him and just carried him into the house. It was one weird night but very funny. We love the family dog.

The Kids started spring soccer. They love soccer. They are on the same team and are RED! I asked Bryson in the morning what color does he hope to be and he said "red" Since we didn't really have a coach we were the last to pick color and boy was Bryson excited! They also play with there friend acrossed our circle and the 3 of them love playing with each other. This summer is going to be so much fun!
