Father and Sons

On Friday May 13, 2011 Christopher and Trevor went to Father and sons for the first time ever. They went to little Moab and camped out overnight. I figure They had a good time. Chris sent me this picture of Trevor.

While they were camping out the girls and I went up to salt Lake to see my brother in the hospital after he got out of surgery. We are very happy that he is home and doing good. We love you Riley.

Bumps and Bruises

 On Wednesday May 11, 2011 Chris was getting the kids ready to go to the babysitter and Allie had a potty accident in the night and Chris had sent her downstairs to get clean underpants so that she could get in the tub. Instead of doing what she was told, Allie and Trevor decided to play on the treadmill. I guess they pressed a button to make it go faster then they could handle and Trevor fell and landed between the treadmill and the wall and Allie (without clothes on cause she was supposed to get in the tub) fell and had nowhere to go but on the treadmill. Unfortunately for her she got thrown around and scrapped up arms, shoulders, legs, elbows, and hands. We took her to the Dr and they say that she will heal with no scarring. We had gone into the dr Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday to get the bandages changed. Then they dropped the bomb on me and told me I will now have to change the bandages mysef. There is a reason I never went into nursing. I have no patience for kids screaming in my ear while I try my hardest not to hurt them while taking their badages off. Oh I am looking forward to the day that we are done with this trial!!! I do have to say that Allie is a very strong little girl to have to go through all this. I love her tons and hope she will never have to hurt like this again.

Easter Bunny

The kids were really excited for the Easter Bunny to come this year. We dyed the eggs for FHE and Saturday night the kids decorated a plate so that we could put the bunnies treat on it. Of course they can't share a plate and decorate together so they each got their own plate to decorate. We left the Easter Bunny some carrots and lettuce to snack on while he/SHE hid the eggs and left the baskets. We woke up Sunday morning and found the eggs and ate some candy then we attended church. Later that evening we went to grandma and grandpa Keele's house for dinner and the kids dressed up like bunnies and went looking for eggs and baskets at their house. Don't you agree that I have 3 of the cutest bunnies ever?

Mischievious

I am about ready to give away a two year old. I love him to death but he has been pushing my buttons. You know how parents always say I hope you get a child just like you? Well.... looks like that has happened. My mom tells me I was a curious kid dumping ranch out on the floor to see what it looks like, I remember cutting the phone cord while my mom was on the phone just to see if it would cut, and breaking a jar of mustard on the floor just to name a few. I was a handful, Now I have my hands full with Trevor. The other day I walked into the kitchen to find that he had gotten into the fridge and cracked six eggs on my floor. I told him that it is not nice and I stuck his hands in the eggs so he would learn not to do it again (he hates getting his hands messy). The next morning while I was still sleeping the bandit struck again.. this time there were 18 eggs cracked on my kitchen floor, my white lace table cloth, the bathroom floor and the entry way. so once again I had to clean up the eggs. My fridge and freezer now have locks on them. I should have invested in the locks long ago. Well that hasn't stopped him from being curious. I found that he had dumped water inside my cupboard, in the kitchenaide mixer, my crock pot, and the base to my hot chocolate machine. I dried them out and hoped that the hot chocolate machine wasn't ruined it is one of my favorite small appliances. the day after that I had made pancakes for breakfast and Allie I and I had gone down to her bedroom to get her dressed for church. When I returned to the kitchen I saw a brown puddle on the floor and my cupboard with my small appliances was open. I walked to the brown puddle and tuched it thinking that Christopher had left an open can of rootbeer somewhere and Trevor had found it. OH NO! I am not that lucky. It was a puddle of syrup. Trevor had gotten the syrup bottle off the counter and poured it on my kitchen floor, in the cupboard, in my kitchenaide bowl, in the crockpot, and once again in the base of my hot chocolate machine (keep in mind this base isn't supposed to get wet). Obviously there was no way for me to clean out the base and the machine had to go in the trash. I went looking for my little angel and he was hiding out in his room with the syrup  bottle. I snatched the bottle away from his grasp but I was too late. I turned to walk out with the syrup and I saw that he had dumped it all over the cream carpeting. All I have to say is that some day I hope he gets a kid JUST LIKE HIM! ;)
