May

Lilly has had another dance recital. She has grown so much this year we are so proud of her. She did so good on her dances she took Tap and ballet. This coming year is Tap, ballet and jazz. She will have so much fun! Lilly is our little reader and is reading at almost a 2nd grade level. I wish I could slow her down cause she is about to pass bryson :o/ She is getting so excited that she is going to turn 6!
I have asked lilly is she wanted to do cheerleading this fall..... her response... " I want to play football like bryson! Oh she can wish I will let her play with big brother!

Bryson also played flag football for the 1st year. Mom finally gave in and let him play. But the rule is flag only! Daddy and Bryson hope sometime Mommy will cave and let him tackle. But he will play flag in the fall and he is so excited! He has done so good in school always now 15/10 and his bonus words I tell ya are not easy. This week on is apostrophe!

Bryson passing the pass!


Dally oh Dallyn is the terror that we so desperately love! He has now started saying 2 word sentences. I don't know what it is but why are our kids delayed on speech. He is coming along good though. I love when he says "Habba day" or "one minute" its just so cute! He is also now LOVES to cry for mommy. Mommy leavin him at daycare at the gym, nursery or anywhere is a COMPLETE melt down. He will now just go to relief society! I guess I can't wait now till he is in sun beams so he will know he is in primary wih the other two!

RUN DUCK RUN AWAY from dallyn!



All and all I have been bad about blogging which is bad. I wish I could do it weekly since this is basically like our scrapbook. Right now we are just working in the yard and a little relandscaping from what the previous owners did. We ripped out 10 rose bushes and there are still 5 in my yard. I am sorry for all you rose bush lovers but I hate getting poked! We are taking out the bark in the playground and putting in the rubber bark. I would never recommend plain bark ever in a swing set. Its gets nasty and bugs and ehh I honestly can't believe I let my children play in it. I can't wait till its all done!

I have asked lilly is she wanted to do cheerleading this fall..... her response... " I want to play football like bryson!

Just ready for school to be out! 3 weeks left. UGGGG!

Where have we been?

What Have we been up too......Bryson had his 1st grade program for grandparents day, of course I started crying some, he was just so cute and we have come SO FAR!



Also, sleddding in April, Mom ran the Jordan School District 5K and also the Salt Lake 5K. But for the most fun that we have done was A little trip to DISNEYLAND! The kids had a BLAST! They loved Thunder Mountain railroad and almost ever ride. Bryson even Loved California screamer! Yes my 7 year old went on that, there was no way that you could get me on that ride! More pictures to come! We were very lucky to have our niece join us! It was alot of fun and the kids are already asking to go back... We have only been home 2 days!!!!!!! I think mommy and Daddy are in for it till we go back! I hope that Lagoon will do for a year or two!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter spending it with our familys and watching general conference! I believe all my Easter pictures are on my other camera. If i remember I will post pictures!

Family Night

One of the stores around here had Twister on sale and then there was a coupon. I think ended up picking it up for $3. For family night we played it one night. The kids loved it!

Mischievous Dallyn

As I was running one day this is what where I found Dallyn after I was done! This is why I have joined a gym! It was all shampoo He was just washing himself... To bad it wasn't tear fear though!

Where is dallyn?

This is the number one question right now in our house "where is dallyn"

The answer is ALWAYS outside with his dog. He goes out and plays even if it is 24 degrees out.. He sneaks out the dog door and goes out with NO SHOES on too when its cold. But now thats it is getting warm its no big deal!

He loves is dog!

Stangers

I was walking Lilly to her Lilly to her friends house that is 5 houses away. I though oh she can run home by herself when it was time. I figured I would ask her a question about strangers to really see if I should let her run home...
"Lilly what would you do if someone came up to you in a car and said come here I have some candy" Mom

"SAY THANK YOU" was my 5 1/2 year olds response.

I just about died and and thought to myself, "alright I will walk over and get you"!

I told Daddy and Grammy what her response was and they just both laughed cause they could totally see her saying that cause she is so polite and sweet!

Now we are focusing on strangers in the neighborhood.

If you give a Mouse a cookie!

I saw that one of mommies high school friends was going to do a play called Jonas and the big fish. I though well the kids might like that but as I was just checking to see how much tickets were I saw that they were doing "If you Give a mouse a Cookie" and though that one would be better suited especially for Dallyn! They had a BLAST! I was so suprised that we were all laughing and Dallyn sat there watching the mouse! Lilly came out and asked" Mommy, when are we seeing that again!"
After the play you were able to get a picture with the mouse and the boy, well it was our turn and I though Daddy was holding dallyn.... Well, our first picture lets just say Dallyn BOLTED and wanted nothign to do. So, the first one was everyone MINUS Dallyn. I was so said that we waited in line again and Dallyn wasn't happy.... "NO car" was all that was coming out of his mouth. He wanted nothign to do with the mouse. He did get a picture though.


The Play is playing down in Orem for I think the rest of march on the weekend at the Scera theater and ticket were like $4 for kids 3 and older.

After on the way home I thought we should stop by the famous Krispy Kreme's since that is basically ALL Dallyn will eat! He is been our hardest eater and he still has his bottle of warm chocolate milk and maybe some cereal and a donut per day if that! Anyhow, Dallyn was in Heaven watching how the donut were being made.

Needless to say It was a Excellent family outing where we all had a blast.

Baby well not so much

I have been trying so hard to somehow just keep Dallyn little. Its just not working! He decided it was time to CLIMB out of the crib. Bryson and Lilly never climb out so I just never expected him too but then again Dallyn is Dallyn :) he Always does the opposite of what you want him to do.

So daddy today converted the crib into the toddler bed! He was so excited and so is OAKLEY. Those two are best buds.

Here is his first night. I hope he doesn't fall out. I might just hear a thud later!

I wish he would jsut stay little. He has been so much fun and so different from teh other two. But then again they were all fun!

Off track

I got this big box of stuff for like $10 bucks and it makes 16 things and we've only made 4! It is a bit over whelming though if you ask me with all the pieces. Everyone had a little anxiety coming out.... LOL... needless we will still make more stuff and it was fun making the cool puppets with the kids.
While we were off track we Also had Bryson's birthday party with his friends and family. He decided he wanted to ake 7 of his friends bowling. It was alot of fun. here is his group!
We went out to dinner with Daddy's parents the day before his birthday and complained of his mouth hurting sayig it was his teeth. He made us call his uncle our dentist and we went down and he said as he bit down he broke the 2 front teeth from his jaw. Needless to say Bryson wanted his teeth pulled... AGAIN! What 7 year old ASKS for the dentist to PULL his teeth..... I think only mine. The next day he was diagnosted with strep. It was a birthday that Iw as hoping would be lost of fun but not. He did love playing super mario brothers and laying on the couch though.

This was his cake for the family party, he wanted a robot cake and luckily I found a cute one. He loved it and had lots of fun.
I had so much that I wanted to do while they were off track but since he got sick, then Dallyn got sick, and of course the last week I got sick! We played alot of the Mario and did crafts. I hope in April we won't be sick and we can go have fun. I have to admit I would rather have them sick while they are off track then missing lots of school. But then its there break and they should be able to have fun. I guess you jus make the best of it.
