What to do when you are driving for 10 hours.

He looks so sweet and innocent. But a little bored. So what can a 4 year old do to stay entertained? See next picture! Yup, those would be his socks that he tied up his own feet with. It kept him busy for a little while.

What happened to "A House of Order"?

On Sunday morning Shawn left for a meeting and I found out that Kambree had a pee accident in her bed. So I had to pull the sheets off and get them in the washer. I got Kambree and myself ready for church. I was trying to get Kambree to eat breakfast when she decided to throw up everything she had eaten all over my dress and on my face (yes I said face, one of the benefits of being the mother). I hurried her into the bathroom where she threw up on the bathroom rugs (both of them) and the toilet seat cover. We both got in the shower, I put her in PJ's, and I got ready for church again. Shawn had to stay home from Church with her because I was getting a new calling in the ward. Now I am in charge of the Primary and not the chorister any more, fun for me! When I came home the sickness had progressed to the other end of the body. For a 2 year old that is potty training this can be difficult to get to the toilet in time. Needless to say we went through 4 pairs of underwear. She is the only one to get sick and seems to be feeling better. Then this morning Austin decided to pee the bed. So in 24 hours I got to wash 2 sets of sheets, 5 pair of underwear, the bathroom rugs, and 2 complete church outfits. It could have been worse, right? I will say how lucky I am to be a stay at home mom and be with my kids. I hate when they are sick, but love the feeling that I get when I know that I am the one hugging them and making it alright. Nothing is better then getting those hugs and kisses from your child, rocking them to sleep, or holding their hand when they are throwing up!

Cousins are fun.

Well look who it is, Austin and Kylan. Good thing he has some fun boy cousins to play with after being surrounded by girls all day.

Easter

We went to the Easter egg hunt at Shawns work.
After the egg hunt we snagged a picture with the Easter Bunny.

But I am so tired.


Potty training can be so tiring, especially if you are doing it just before nap time. Good thing Kambree is flexible.

what was that you said?

We were talking about who our scripture heroes were, when Austin said " I want to be like, Samuel the Lamanite, because he STOOD ON YE ALL AND REACHED FOR THE GOSPEL". It should have gone " ....because he stood ON THE WALL and PREACHED the gospel". A missionary in the making!  Austin showing off his pirate stuff that mom and dad brought back from St. Lucia.

Family Home Evening

Last night we took the kids downtown to Temple Square. (Austin =4 years, Shawntell =6 years, Paige= 8 years, Kambree=2 years) Paige and Shawntell are 2 years apart in age but look like they could be twins. Too funny.
