We are getting ready to go on vacation this week and I wanted to get all caught up before we left! There will be A LOT to post when we get back, plus we'll be right in the middle of Mustang Days!! I'll be a busy blogger! :)
Saturday started out as an unlucky day for us! We wanted to play outside, but it was too rainy and cold. Then we wanted to go swimming, but the pool was closed. We decided to go get ice cream instead, which wasn't too bad of a trade off! :) Then I was going to take Taysum to the bowling alley, but it was closed as well! That evening, we went to Celeste's birthday party. She's a whole year old now!! Happy Birthday, little girl! We love you!! It was VERY cold and WET, but we still had a good time at a new park! This picture didn't turn out exactly how I had planned. Originally, Bailey had a hold of Ken's carpenter loop on his pants and was pulling him some where. It was a perfect example of their relationship! ;)
Sunday was sunnier, but still a little chilly. Ken was Super Dad this day! He made pinwheels for the kids and they went outside an played for a while. Then they made peanut butter cookies and they were awesome!
Then he and Hayden took a well-desereved nap!
Monday, we just enjoyed the day together as a family. We all had a bit of a bug (Ken had the worst of it) so we just took it easy. We went for a walk and it was really nice (other than I ended up with a blister). In the evening, we went to Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's house for a bar-b-q. We had some yummy food and great yard games:
Baseball
Tractor RidesChillin'
Trampoline Jumping
and Badminton
We had a very nice weekend as a family. We're so thankful for the freedoms we have to enjoy family and excercise our beliefs. We enjoy so much in this country and I'm SO thankful for ALL those who have sacrificed so much that we may continue to have these blessings for our children. We're so thankful for our favorite veterans: Grandpa Cutler, Grandpa Anderson and Grandpa Garrick. They have served in the military and gone to war to make this world a better one for us and our children. We are so proud of them and their wonderful example of patriotism. We are also thankful for all those who are currently serving to continue that assurance! May God continue to bless America, our home sweet home!!
In the middle of church, Bailey shouts out: I hope Jesus coming!! 1/2/11
Taysum got a card from his Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Floy, with a picture of her on it in the mail yesterday. Today he was tacking it to his bulletin board in his room and I heard him say, "I hope my teacher love me!" It was SO sweet! 8/13/10
At the pool, I asked Baiely if she wanted to wear her flip flops in the pool and she said, "No, I wear my feet." 7/10
Ken watched as Bailey tried to put up two fingers. He said, "Are you two?" and she said, "No...Peace!! Grandpa say Peace!" 7/10
We have some silk sunflowers in a basket as a centerpiece on our table. Along with the sunflowers there are some cat tails. The other night, Taysum informed us they are not cat tails, they are hot dog flowers! 6/10
I love the way Taysum's mind works...when I can figure it out! Tonight I made him a grilled cheese sandwhich for dinner; I told him it was hot and to wait for it to cool. He got up from the table and went to a fan we had going. He stood in front of it and opened his mouth wide and breathed in. He came back to the table, sat down and "blew the air" on to his sandwich!! He repeated this several times! I guess he thought the air from the fan would be cooler! Good thinking, T!! 6/9/10
I turned on some music and Bailey said, "Let's rock it, Mommy!! Rock and Roll!" 5/10
After a toot, which he politely excused himself for, Taysum said, "I have a Stinky Pete." (Toy Story II) 4/23/10
"This is the BEST dinner ever!!" Dinner was: chicken nuggets, french fries and pineapple. 9/09
We hung a picture of the Billings Temple in our living room. The next morning when T woke up and saw it he said, "It's the temple! I can't believe my eyes!" 9/09
Mom: Taysum, is Daddy silly? Taysum: No...Daddy's crazy!! 9/09
Some of Bailey's latest fun phrases: "Come on, Daddy (Mommy, Taysum)! Follow me!" "Help! Ayudame!" "Where's Taysum? Hmmm...you see him?" At stop lights and stop signs, "Ready, set....GO!"
"Stubby cake" How Taysum says stomachache. 7/13/09
This little conversation happened the other day while I was doing nothing in particular. Taysum, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Me, "I hope not!" 5/4/09
