Monsters U

  Last night we took the two oldest kids to see Monsters University.  Landon was sad we couldn't see it in 3D since last week we saw Despicable Me 2 in 3D.  (I know, two movies in two weeks, but that normally never happens.)I heard him tell Michael, "I wish we could wear sunglasses for the movie."
  I thought it was really cute!  Disney impressed once again.  Something I did really enjoy had nothing to so with the movie but the fact that I got to sit between Landon and Kayleigh and watch all their facial expressions and see how they reacted to things in the movie.  Usually I'm wrestling with an almost 18 mo. old who is into everything and I can barely catch a glimpse of what the others are doing.  We left Wy Wy home with a babysitter and it was a great decision.

  Sometimes I think back to when we just had Kayleigh and all the attention she got.  How sad that the subsequent kiddos don't get that same attention. I just gotta find the time to be with and enjoy each of my kids.  They are growing like weeds right before my eyes!

        

Microwave

  Last night we put in our new microwave we bought.  It's an over-the-range one.  It is so nice to have the extra space in our kitchen now where the old one used to sit on its cart! Thanks to my mom and dad who took the old one off our hands.  

  I'm so glad Michael is willing to do all these projects.  I'm also glad he does them on our weird time schedule.  It seems that when we find the time to work on them it's 2 in the morning. Love him!

Today is the day

    For many months now I've been saying that I must get back to blogging and try to catch up.  I realize I'm pretty much 8 months behind except for a few phone posts here and there.  But tonight I am going to begin the quest to get back on top!  I'm sure I will have mixed posts of current things and also catch up things so I might mark the catch up ones with something, we'll see.  Thanks to all of you who still follow this. 
  I've printed one blog book and I'd like to continue that and print all of the posts I've got on here which is quite a few years now.  I know I know, a big project, but I seem to be kind of good at those so here's to that.  :) 
  And on a current note, today I took the kids to the library for the first time this summer.  Yeah, I know, lazy mom syndrome.  At least we made it though.  Landon and Kayleigh really liked it and they even got to get their own library cards.  Aren't they so lucky? 
  It was super hot today and that seems to be the trend for this past month.  I do not love the heat and so I've been staying inside as much as I can!  Even just getting kids in and out of the car to and from the library I was sweating everywhere!  No fun. 

Mohawk boy

  He just had a bath cause he pooped out and I am loving his little hair do!  What a stud!

FHE

   Tonight for Family Home Evening we played at Lagoon (got season passes this year) for a few hours and then went to Arctic Circle for a treat afterwards.

   We ordered Wyatt a baby cone and he latched right onto it and ate it right up.  It was so hilarious and cute!  Babies learn so quickly, it's just amazing!  He's never had his own cone before but he knew exactly what to do with it and how to hold it.  Pretty sweet!  We love him!

Summer!!!

  I am so excited that I don't have to get Kay up in the morning for school, hooray!  With my luck Wyatt will wake up early and I'll still have to get up but oh well.

  I can't believe that she's done with Kindergarten and moving on to 1st grade in a couple months.  To me it's so weird! I don't feel like I should have a child that old.  

  I know summer will just fly by but we've got some fun things planned and it should be good!!

All by herself

  Tonight Kayleigh read her two verses during scripture study all by herself!! When we first started our family study awhile ago I would just read a part of the verse and she would repeat it (this is what we do for Landon) but she is getting better at reading now. 
  I'm so proud of her and what she's learned this past school year.  I need to keep her reading this summer so she doesn't forget it all.

A remodeled Target

  I needed a couple things from the store so I decided to run to Target with the kids.  Upon arriving I quickly decided it had been a few months since I'd been to the store.  It had been remodeled!  With the remodel came some giant red balls out in front of the store. 

  What's kind of funny about these balls is that I remember seeing them at the Target in Maryland about 7 years ago when I was visiting John and Katerina.  I had thought they were neat then and had my picture taken on one.  

  Today I told the kids that and so they, of course, wanted their pictures taken on one.  Glad things like a big red cement ball get my kids excited!

Library Field Trip

  Today I got to accompany Kay's class on their field trip to the city library.  It was fun and I was glad that I could go.  We walked there and back.  I really love that Michael's job is pretty flexible and when I need/want him to stay home for an hour or two in the morning, he can. 
  The lady at the library explained the layout of the library and how you can check out a book.  She also explained to them things to not do to a borrowed book such as get water on it or let your dog chew it up.  (She had examples to back her up and they were funny!)  She read them a couple fun books and then told them they could get their own kids library card.  Kayleigh is very excited to do this now because Dad's card in her wallet isn't cool anymore now that she knows she can get her own.  That'll be going on the summer to do list I guess, get a library card for Kay.
  Kayleigh was very excited for me to come and I love that she was.  I hope as she grows up we can be great, close friends.  I love that I've been blessed with a daughter and I'm grateful for her.  Some days I am shocked at how much she acts like me and I get frustrated with myself because I know where she's learned those things.  I'm so glad that I can get up again the next day and try again.

1st haircut

  I've been wanting to cut Wyatt's hair for awhile now and today I finally said we are doing it!  Michael was gone at bishopric so we thought we'd do it and it'd be a surprise.  Plus the kids needed baths anyway so it worked out.  

  He did amazingly well when I cut it! I thought he would cry for sure but he just whimpered a little.  Kay was a great help as she gave him fruit snacks while I did it.  

  I was expecting him to hate the whole experience since Landon did and still doesn't like it much.  He surprised me though and I guess he's tougher than his big brother.  

  His hair is pretty thin. It was long though so it made it look like he had a lot of hair. I hope this will help to thicken it up a little.  He's such a stud though, so cute!
