Saturday Fun

Today, the boys and John were outside for nearly 3 hours trying to start a fire in the new fire pit John got for Christmas. They were using flint and steel and a bow jack. It was lots of fun for Jacob and Joshua to try and start a fire this way. Once they succeeded we cooked hotdogs over the fire. Abigail was too sick to try. She has a fever.





Also, a few days ago, Jacob came home with this 1st place ribbon. His science fair project had taken first place in his class. Way to go Jacob. His project was testing which plants would grow better, those with electricity running through the soil or those with out it. His conclusion was that fast growing plants grow better with the electricity and slow growing plants do not.

Kaden's 1st Birthday

Today, we went to my nephew's 1st birthday party. Kaden is one years old. Yah! He and Wyatt were so funny to watch interact with each other. When Kaden was opening the presents, he just wanted to play with the 1st present and they kept taking them away to make him open more. It was fun. Thanks for inviting us.

Wyatt is walking

Wyatt did it!! He walked across the living room tonight. He is walking!! Watch out because here comes trouble!! Here is a video of his first steps.

The Scariest Day of My Life

So if any of you neighbors are wondering what all the police cars, fire truck and ambulance were doing at our house today, it was our dear Wyatt. He was crawling up the stairs and I walked over to get him and he stood up on the second step and fell before I got there. He landed on his head and I rushed and picked him up and he was limp and turning purple. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, so I quickly called 911. He very quickly regained concesiousness and the paramedics thought he would be fine. They said we could follow up with our pediatrician. Our peditrician wanted us to take him to Primary Children's so, hours later and $100 bucks later he is fine and dandy. Scariest time. I have never had a child pass out on me before. Itis definatley scary!

Blue and Gold Banquet

Tonight was the Blue and Gold Banquet for Jacob's cub scouts. It was and "All American" theme. It was a great night. Good job, Janalee. Jacob enjoyed himself They had a pinatta which Jacob thought was great. Here is a picture.

St. George Trip

This weekend we went to St. George to visit Grandma and Grandpa Atkinson. They are in St. George for the winter working at the temple. We had a great time. Friday afternoon when we got there we went swimming in the hotel pool. It was just a little to cold for Wyatt and I to get into the pool, but everybody else enjoyed it.




Then we went to the St. George temple and visitor center. We watched the Pinoeer Miracle there. It was a powerful movie. My chidre enjoyed seeing the St. George temple.





The next day, Kim, Zack and Aleese joined us as Paul went to Las Vegas for the Nascaar races. We went up to Dixie rock and hiked around. My kids really like this. We didn't take a backpack for Wyatt so we were lifting him up and down all the rocks in the stroller. He had a blast.











Then we went back to the hotel for more swimming and dinner. We all retired that night early because we were pooped. Today we went to church with Grandma and Grandpa and came home.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting us invade you with our ruckus group. We love you and had a great weekend!
