Picture it

You will have to "picture it" because I have lost my camera. Along with losing my camera I have lost my mind.
Tyson got a second degree burn on his left hand last Tuesday. He got up on the rocking chair in my room next to where I had my ironing board and hot iron. To make matters worse I was in the room and I had failed my own advice/"nagging" of making sure it was safe from kids. The Pediatrician said it was healing well but I don't like it.
Brady threw up at school on Monday.
Ben woke up this am at 4 with a respiratory panic/coughing attack.
Eden keeps complaining of stomach aches. We are trying soy (this stomach thing is new).
I am losing my mind. Did I mention Nathan stayed home sick on Monday too?
Well after another trip to the pediatrician, it looks like there is no way out for Ben. He will have his tonsils and adenoids taken out. I really am not looking forward to Ben undergoing anesthesia, but I hope he will finally have a good nights rest. Hopefullay he will also heal more quickly after common colds. One would think that because of my profession I wouldn't mind the doctor's office. Well I do. Especially when it comes to my kids. I am grateful however for insurance, Father's Blessings, and a medical knowledge. I am comforted that things will be better. For now I will let the tears fall and I will give up on looking for my camera.

Heritage Park

This last weekend we went to Heritage Park "This is the Place". I loved seeing all the old houses and the pioneer atmosphere. The kids favorite part was panning for gold. (Kids can pan for "gold" and then take it to the "bank" for good ole candy). I wish I would have panned for gold because they were handing out taffy. Tyson of course loved the animals and riding the horse. Everywhere we go he has to point out the "horsey".

First Day of School

O.k. so...So I'm not good at this blogging thing and I am even worse at taking pictures. But, I am determined to start. On the first day of school I gear up with my camera. Brady noticed the camera and commented on how he is too old to have his picture taken on the first day of school. He then tells me I am welcome to come back on Saturday and stage the first day of school. He would gladly pose for me then.

I took pictures anyway. Not my best decision. I should have taken him up on the offer to come back Saturday.

Olympic Pool Fun

Here we are at the Kearns Recreation Center. Does anyone recognize the builing in the picture? Its where Salt Lake City held their speed skating. We are so excited that our Rec Center has ice skating.

A Day at the Zoo.

One of our summber adventures, besides moving, is visiting the zoo.

Spring Break Came and Went

This last week was Spring Break. With Ben and Tyson down with the stomach flu, there wasn't much planning to do. But here are a few of this weeks highlights.

10. Get the carpet cleaned. Ben couldn't seem to find his way to the bathroom and shared his lunch in five different spots upstairs including the top of the stairs. Not Fun.
9. Going swimming at the rec center.
8. Rain
7. Brady started baseball practice.
6. Rain
5. Ben started baseball practice.
4. Jeannette, Doug, Aiden and Jeny moved to Vegas (now only 2 hours away)
3. Rain
2. Grandpa Harry's surgery is over with no complications
1. Spend the morning at Jumpin Jacks

Then more rain and hail.

I have to admit it. I do love rain. I love the clouds. I love the moisture. I love the smell. And, I love the sound. However, after all the rain we have had I am excited for some much needed sunshine.

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas. I never ended up sending Christmas cards. I figured, since Tyson is a toddler, I'm still exempt. We had a peaceful wonderful Christmas.
