Cutest Kid EVER

 I honestly think it is going to be the greatest day of his life when he gets to play T-ball.

Memorial Day weekend

 I was finishing up my work-out on Thursday right before I had to go and pick up the kids. I heard this crashing on the back fence. I jumped up and was at the screen door, the same time Leah (our ex black lab) came crashing into our screen. I let her come in and run around with Lucy. My kids were not home so I decided instead of returning Leah right away I would surprise the kids and let them all play at the park with Leah. So I only kidnapped her for a little bit, then we took her home. Everyone was SO HAPPY to see her. On Friday we spent the entire day at the pool, swimming in the sun and having the best time. On Saturday we worked, that night we went over to the Graham's. Aaron and I had a joint birthday party. Gretchen is the best, my birthday would have SUCKED if it hadn't been for her. I had so much fun that night, thanks GG. Aaron pulled out his big new gun for everyone to see. All the girls wanted to get a picture with it, but none of us could keep a tough face long enough with out laughing. 

 Sunday morning we went to church, then hopped in the car and head out to meet friends camping. It was so windy and cold on Sunday but we stuck it out. Monday we rode quads and rhinos all day. Monday was my actual birthday and I am not going to pretend like it was a great one. Steve was camping with us but had to leave in the morning because he had to work. He didn't even wish me a happy birthday until mid afternoon, my kids didn't even wish me happy birthday, until i told them it was my birthday, around 3. Even then it was a, "oh, it's your birthday, happy birthday. Gretchen remembered half way through the day, thank goodness because I was starting to feel very unloved. The only thing that kept me happy was my family (the Fred's) and some close friend's from UT and MEM, texts me the sweetest birthday wishes. Also Spencer made me smile all day. He was made for this. He loved everything about camping. Here he is wearing motorcross gear, that he never took off.

 This is about 1/4 of the kids that were camping. I think there was about 9 families up there, it was so much fun.

 Eliza and Tabby waiting to go on a ride.

 Spencer really wants to go too.

 He spent a lot of time sitting on quads and dirt bike pretending to ride.

 Spencer's first 4 wheeler ride. He didn't stay back there for long, Scott moved it to the front almost immediately.

 Motorcross gear and an arrow, life couldn't not be an better.

 Garrett and Dallin riding around. I took Dallin out and taught him how to drive one. He really loved the dirt bike. He and Garrett spent most of their time shooting guns and carving things.

 We got home from camping around 3:30, I spent about 2 hours hosing everything down, I have the biggest pile of laundry and my car is so gross. When Steve got home, he went right back out because if we were going to celebrate my birthday he needed a cake and stuff. Eliza tried her best to make it a magical birthday party for and it was so thanks Eliza, I love my card and my pin. Thanks Steve for taking her.

Weekend maddnes continues

Tron Dance 

Dallin and Eliza each had 3 dances and the finale. They both were in the glow stick dance. Dallin was in, Atomic Dog and Tron. Eliza was in, Some Day my Prince will Come, and Never had a Friend Like Me. Atomic Dog

This is how we kept Spencer entertained between dances. He would climb in the lockers and shut himself in.

 Aladdin, dance. Eliza in her Genie costume

 Some Day my Prince will Come, Dance. Hopefully Eliza waits for a long time.

After the recital, it was over for a while. We went home and took naps. I NEVER nap, but I did that day. That night I had 3 softball games. So between the 4 of us we had 10 games this week. Crazy, but fun. I was surprised when the kids wanted to stay at the ball field for my last 2 games. Steve took them home anyways and got the to bed. I hit my first home run, this weekend. A 3 run, home run. Steve got up and hit a home run right after me. Codner back to backs. It's so much fun playing with Steve again.

I forgot to add Steve and Eliza went shooting, I stayed home and took a nap with Spencer. Maybe I'm

getting old!?!?!

 

Weekend MADNESS

 Friday was the jog-a-thon, I was at the school from, 8:30-11:45, helping out with that. Then at 11:30, we went up to the school for the volunteer luncheon. It's the school's way of saying thanks to the parents for all there help through out the school year. Eliza and a couple of friends are giving Tabitha birthday spankings.

 Dallin with all his buddies.

 Spencer rarely leaves the house without his mitt and ball.

 He started running with the kids, Jack picked him out of the pile of kids and ran with him. Spencer is the most popular 1 1/2 year old I know. I guess he was thirsty after all that running.

 I have been trying to get Eliza invites out for her baptism, I finished those up on Thursday night. I can't believe she's already getting ready for her baptism. Thank goodness she is such a good girl and doesn't need a lot of parenting.

 After the crazy morning we had, dance rehearsal from, 4-7. But we also had, A baseball game for Eliza at 5, and a game for Dallin at 7. Steve also had a double header at 6 and 7. Everyone made it to games. Steve got home at 8:30 and met me at the ball park to cheer Dallin on, they won. After the game they headed up to the Father's and Son's camp out. Steve talked Dallin into sleeping in the back of the car. They were home by 9:45 in the morning and met me over at the ballpark to cheer Eliza on at her game.

 I wish I had better pics of Dallin at his game, but the ump wouldn't let me use my flash. Dallin in the back of the car at the camp out. Honestly, he has the best Dad to drive him up there at 10:00 at night.

 

Eliza's game Saturday morning, I'm out on the field, telling them where to move when the ball is hit.

Eliza got to stay for the whole game, but as soon as it was over I pulled her off the field and ran to the car. We had to get her to her dance recital with in 30 minutes. That meant costume, hair and make-up. We just made it

MAGIC KINGDOM

 On our way over to the most magical place on earth!!! Everyone was very excited to finally get there. When you first walk in to the right you can go and meet, Mickey and Minnie. Spencer is obsessed those two mice. Spencer seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse for the first time.

 Rachel bought everyone a hat. My kids are so lucky to have her.

 We went home half way through the day, took a little break and then went back around 7:30. We took the ferry again.

 Everyone split up and went on rides I took Spencer to the carousal, of course he loved it.

 All of us on, "It's a Small World."

 You would have had to been on our boat to understand this picture below.

 The last ride of the night, The haunted house. It was Eliza's pick. Shes a nut, she loves spooky things. I am acting like a statue, at least I wasn't kissing this one. I think it might be an obsession of mine. I might have to put together a book of all my statue pictures.

 Leaving the park at midnight. We stayed for the firework show, and shut the park down.
