July so far!

Well July has been a busy one for us. I guess like most of you! We had some fun adventures. We went to Eaglewood Golf course to see fireworks. We Sat just by the 1st hole t-off spot(whatever that is called) There was a little tree for shade that my parents got to sit under so the rest of us got the hot sun! It was fun. My Mom, Dad, Malene, Heath, Angie, Madison, Morgan and our neighbors the Woodruff's and our friends the catenzaro's joined us. It was fun. We played cars. Went down in the crowd and saw a few old friends and watched the Fireworks. Parker even watched them with awe. I had to cover his eyes with the real strob like looking ones and the finally I covered his ears just in case. Colby said he was scared of them and asked for his Mommy(which I doubt he did because he never does. I think Tim was trying to make me feel better). We even didn't get into a traffic jam down the mountain. On the 4th of July We went with Grandma and Grandpa to the centerville parade it seems to be a tradition for us now we always sit by our dentist office. It was fun. I think Colby liked getting the candy. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out. I made enchiladas for dinner and had Grandma and Grandpa over. They were actually pretty good. Just hope I can remember how I made them for next time.

I started a Cake decorating class with Malene last week. It's going to be fun. Of course Malene turns to me in the middle of it and says what have I gotten myself into! Can't wait to see her first cake.

Last night we had our first little sickness with Parker. He has slept through the night since 2 weeks old and last night he kept waking up so finally after an hour of laying with him I unbundled him(which is the reason he sleeps through the night) and he was all sweaty. I felt is head and he was on fire. He had a temperature and he was coughing and snorting when breathing. I fed him thinking he would want to eat because he was awake but I don't think he cared because he is use to not eating at night. Well right when I got done he threw up all over me. Not just spit up but throw up. I didn't know a little think to get rid of so much I felt so bad. Needless to say I was short about 6 hours of sleep. Luckly it was saturday to sunday night so It wasn't a work day of waking up at 4:30 in the morning. He seems better now but I hope he can make it through the night tonight sleeping.

We took Colby to Lagoon for the first time. We took him on easy stuff first like the boats and cars and puff the magic dragon. We finally met up with our friends the catenzaro's and he was more eager to go on rides with their two little boys and Weston was so cute helping him get on the rides. But at the end of the night we took him on the two scarier kids rides. He didn't like us after that. They have a kid type Rocket ride. Yeah he didn't like that. and the swings that go over the lake well they kind of have a kid one and he didn't like that. Oh well we had fun and I had fun watching him.

We went to Kangaroo zoo yesterday with Colby's Cousins will my sister tended them. It's a place that has blow up slides and bouncy stuff. Colby was leary at first but then started to like it. He didn't like the slides at all though. Tim made him go down one and he was so mad. But of course when we went to leave. He threw a fit! Madison was a little dare devil she went down every slide even the one that went up to the ceiling. Nobody tell her parents. But she loved it!!! It was cute to see her go!

Well next weekend starts our camping vacations. I will update you then. Hopefully our camera will be functioning a little better so I can get pictures. Sorry it's been broken!

Babysitter funnies

So I have a funny!!! I thought one night I would help get the diaper bags packed for the next morning. We had put both Boys down for bed and so I went and got Parker 2 outfits. I didn't know if the 0-3 months size would fit anymore because he's getting long and it snapped between the legs so I grabbed a 3-6 month out fit of jean shorts and button up shirt. I couldn't grab Colby an outfit because we had already put him to bed and didn't want to wake him up. So I told Tim I got Parker's outfit. Well the next morning Tim didn't realize I didn't grab Colby an outfit. Well I got a phone call from My mom at 7:30 that morning saying "Did you know you brought Colby a 3-6 month outfit?"I told her it was intended for Parker if the other one didn't fit. She said Tim didn't bring Colby one then. She then said "well the outfit kind of fits Colby" So what would make her even try it on him? Did she think it was his and didn't notice the size and put it on or saw the size and thought I'll try it anyways. Needless to say Colby got to wear that outfit all day. It fit pretty good for the size. I mean he's almost 3 years old wearing 3-6 month clothes. We even took him to Costco in it. Below are proof of it fitting ok and some more pictures

New work schedule

For those of you who live in Utah you may have heard the Governor has mandated that all state employees work 4 ten hour shift. Well I already worked that schedule and since Tim also works for the state he now gets to work that schedule with me. So starting August 4th we will both work Mon-Friday 7:00 am -5:30 am (time might change but Tim's whole office has to work those times, I have a little more flexibility) The bonuses are that me and Tim can both get the kids ready in the morning and off to the babysitters and we can ride into work together and only use one car and save tons on gas. The only downside is that the Kids have to get up earlier and Grandma and Grandpa will have a longer day tending them. They are awesome grandparents and parents we wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I thank my lucky stars everyday we have them in our lives and they do spoil us!!! I try to spoil them as much as possible but I am not as good at they are to us!!! Thanks mom and dad you are a true blessing in our life and boy are your blessings going to be big in heaven.

busy as a bee

It's been a busy summer so far for us! For those of you know me well I spend a lot of time at my parents and that's my only place to blog because we are to cheep to get the internet or a computer. Long story short. You see how long it's been since I could just come hang out at my parents house. I haven't been here in so long I haven't gotten to blog a lot. So here's an update. What have we been up to. We have had a couple of fun BBQ's at our house. We first had a BBQ with all the "kids" from my old WX neighborhood. Who aren't so much kids anymore as adults with kids themselves...well there's still one kid....Chris...who will always be that way! No relation I swear! It was good to see all those who still live around here and see all their spouses, children and friends. We had a BBQ with our neighborhood. We invited all those who built a home with our builder. It gives us a cut off point. Otherwise we would end up inviting the whole ward. Not as many came this year as last because of their busy summer schedules but it was fun! It's nice to socialize with those you live by. I am a flake at taking pictures so sorry no pictures. We have spent the rest of our time playing with our kids and keeping up on the yard's and working. That's a low down on summer!
