Silly Kidz!!

Silly Boy

The other night it was around 8 & the kids were supposed to be sleeping(ha,ha).I was in my garage airing up my tires for my 4:30AM bike ride the next morning (ouch) and Bryant came in looking pretty stressed out. He started to tell me how he cant sleep and this and that..stalling basically! He then got really excited and asked if he could lay in bed and read a book. I told him sure that was a great idea-just GET IN BED! After kisses and hugs(AGAIN) he ran off to bed-so excited that I had agreed to his brilliant plan. A few minutes later he came back in so sad & with his head and shoulders slumped and really depressed. I asked him what was wrong and he looked up at me with his beautiful blue eyes and said "Mom, I cant read". It was so funny-Bry always cracks us up!!We love him SO much!!

NEVER A DULL MOMENT...

WHOAAA...is it REALLY April 1st??? Last I was aware it was March 20Th. Seriously
spring break, Easter,,,it's ALL a blur. Chloe was first..ear infection, shocking (not really) poor baby her right ear just WONT get better. We've been on & off antibiotics for months (I hate putting my kids on antibiotics..but I don't know what else to do for her)? Any how she all the sudden starts throwing up and diarrhea..I thought I could handle it UNTIL Kade starts as well. LONG story short 2 weeks of NO sleep for Me, a hospital stay in pediatrics at Banner Gateway, lots of needle pokes, IV's & TEARS,a xray & catscan, & did I mention the $1100.00 in "insurance co pays"???
Double Trouble is right..I think things are Finally back to "normal".
Who knows what bug they had? Only the twins got it. Thank GOODNESS!!
The other kids were troopers & so much help to me.
Thanks for all the phone calls,visits & ice cream (Kristy & Julie).THANKS to My sis Amy,Brandon's wife, & to My Ward for the dinners you brought in during all the chaos! And Thank You Grandma Stephanie. I am SO gratefull for you and all you do for us. WE Love You!!
I'll post more another day..I'm going to bed:-)

OUR SWEETIES!!

What a GREAT weekend!!

We had a BUSY day Sat. After my LONG crazy bike ride, we spent the rest of the day getting ready for our Family Pinewood derby ward party. Here are pics of the car the kids (IAN) made:-) Just a few arguments and cuss words later...WHA-LA. It didn't go very fast but it looks cute!!
Then Sunday Ian and I both woke up needing a Garrett fix-we love having him in Snowflake! The kids were really excited to take flowers and Easter stuff up! Ian
grabbed a quilt and we sat on the grass and decorated his garden!! I love the feeling of sitting there with ALL of my kidz!!
It was a fast but fun trip!! We got to see Grandpa's and Grandma and Uncle Tanner,Curtis and Aunt Melissa and cousins Deegan & Madison!! We are so blessed to have wonderful family! We love you all!!

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger...right?? Okay-So I know it doesn't really look that hard (the picture doesn't do it any justice). This is the first time I've tackled this hill called "king Kong". My girlfriend and I took off around 7:30 on Sat. morning and had a blast!! We went out through Red Mountain Ranch and down by the river where the bus drops off the tubers. All said and done it was about 44 1/2 miles!! The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful!! WOW-was I tired.
