Yeah For Preschool!  

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

These pictures are a little misleading. I guess everyone gets to graduate from preschool, every year. Bronsen still has another year before kindergarten, but he finished Lana's preschool. He loved going throughout the year and will miss it this summer. I'm not sure what we're going to do to keep him busy now.

A Day In The Sun  

We finally made it down to "the lake" (Lake Powell) with some of my family a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. Everyone worked on their sun tans. Bailey got fried while being the "decoration" on the boat. She was there to`lay out, so when Steve asked her is she was there mearly to be a decoration on the boat, she didn't disagree. We were glad the water was warm enough to do some wake boarding. We fished. I caught the first fish, the biggest fish, the smallest fish, the last fish, okay, the only fish. And I didn't even get a picture. All in all it was a super fun day. One we hope to repeat often.




Part of the crowd. This is my youngest brother Cole, and my youngest Sister Bailey.

The lake always wears them out. Thank heavens for the lure of the boats motor to put them to sleep.


Nate (my other brother) did such a great job getting up on the wake board. I guess he's a natural athlete. He popped up after 2-3 tries and then went after it. He was trying so hard to jump the wake. He kept saying "On the Disney channel they just jump clear across it." Finally Bronsen had heard enough and said, "Nate, this is not the Disney channel!" Trust Bronsen to put you in your place.

T - Ball  

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Bronsen has started T-ball. Despite being clueless about what is going on, he's having a good time. He's on his uncle Stephen's team and it's a good thing. He needs a little extra help and direction. It's a riot to watch. It's great that kids can enjoy whatever they're doing out there.

First baseman. This is his 2 time at this position. Luckily this time he wasn't leaving the base to run with the opposing teams players.


Bronsen and his cousin Heather.



Batter up!


Parker of course has to be in on the action.

What a Crazy Week!  

Monday, May 12, 2008



Steve was unusually super excited for his birthday this year. He was totallly stressing me out that I needed to do something a little extra for his big day. Being as how it was a Monday, he went to work as usual. At lunch I kidnapped him from work and we went on a hike to the spirit cave and took a picnic. Later that evening some friends and family got together at the park for cake and ice cream and a little friendly competition of volleyball. I think I passed the test, and he had a great birthday.



We are absolutely loving living so close to the outdoors. It's Blanding's number one selling point for us. Just 5 minutes from town my boys can discover and explore so many fun things. It's going to be a great summer!!

So notice Parker in the green sweats and striped yellow shirt!! I'm an awesome mom when it comes to dressing my kids. Actually this was the start of the other exciting part of the week for us. Parker had thrown up in the van on the way, and this is what was available for an emergency. Luckily we just carried him for the hike and he had a great time too.
On Thursday Parker was admitted to the hospital for dehydration resulting from Roto Virus. (I guess that's how it's spelled.) Anyway, we got to come home on Saturday morning and spend the weekend at home. Luckily he is doing much better and we're crossing our fingers that we haven't contaminated any siblings or cousins. It's no fun seeing your precious little rowdy boy so listless and miserable in a hospital bed. But he was such a trooper! Just glad he's feeling better. I don't know how families with chronic illnesses do it. My heart goes out to them.
