Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend has been fun-filled and busy. Friday we left to go to my Mom's house in Star Valley. It was good to go and see her. Saturday we went up to my Dad's grave and put flowers on his grave.



Then we left and went to Kamas to visit all of John's grandma's and grandpa's graves and had a BBQ with his parents. It was good to be there.

Sunday we had a great day and church and then the kids decided they wanted to sleep out on the trampoline. So they got everything ready to go and then John read to them until it was dark. Then Abigail decided she didn't want to sleep out. The boys lasted until about 2:30a.m. when they came in with their teeth chattering. They were freezing.

Today we accomplished a ton. John did a lot of work in the yard and I actually got to deep clean the bathrooms. I haven't done that in a looooong time. Then we had a BBQ with my sisters. It was good to talk with them.

This has been a great Memorial Weekend.

Abigail's Birthday

Yesterday was Abigail's birthday. The school had their carnival that night so we went to the carnival and the boys went to Fathers/and sons at the Stake center. Then Abigail and I came home and had some girl time. We played cards and made cupcakes. She had a lot of fun. Then Wyatt threw-up again! He has been throwing up now for a week. We had our hometeacher come over and he and John gave him a blessing. Thankfully today he has not thrown up. I hope he is finally over it.

Today we had Abigail's birthday party. Because Wyatt threw-up last night we decided to have it at the church so as not to expose everyone else to the germs. I think it was a lot of fun. We had a kitty birthday. I made little kitty ears out of headbands and then put whiskers on them.



They played a game of follow the Kitty. We played quite a few games like, Mother cat where are you? and Kitty Says, We lapped up milk out of dishes like a kitty. Then we went in the gym and played hide and go seek and tag. I think everyone had a great time.

For cake we made Betty Crockers Gluten Free Chocolate Cup Cakes and no one even knew they were gluten-free.




Abigail got a lot of good gifts. Thanks to everyone. She had a great day. We had Abigail's birthday dinner tonight. She chose chicken, and baked potatoes. It was a good day for her.

Potty Training, Soccer and Life

Well, we have been doing a bit of everything lately. I decided to try potty training Wyatt last week, so on Tuesday we put him in underwear. The first time he went pee he was very shocked at getting all wet. Then when he went again, he started catching on. Finally after four try's he got it and has been mostly dry the past week. I am so excited to have this on its way. I really do hate potty training, but I hate changing diapers worse.

Abigail is in soccer this year and likes it alot. She has fun running and trying to kick the ball. Here is some pics of her.




Then we had some friends over Saturday night for a tinfoil dinner and started a fire in the firepit and had tinfoil dinners and smores. It was a lot of fun. Abigail got really messy. I just had to take a pic of her.



Then last night we went to the mini-park for a little gathering to say hello to some ward members who had moved out of our ward about a year ago and they had come back to visit. It was good to catch up with them, but I wonder if Wyatt ate something off of the ground because last night at 4:00 a.m. he started throwing up and threw up every 15 minutes until about 7:30. Then he fell asleep and he is still asleep. Hence why I have time to sit at the computer and update my blog at 9:30 in the morning! Well, the dryer just beeped, so I guess now I need to go fold clothes.
