She loves it but I must admit that I'm ready for summer vacation; I think she is too:) She has had a couple of performances over the last few weeks which I wanted to post. She is so cute and does a pretty good job participating. <br />

Thursday was a nice day. We had lunch at Pa and Paula's house, Reggie took a nap while Paula and I took Addie to see Mirror, Mirror, and we got some ice cream at Macey's. I was really bummed to have to take the kiddies home because I loved having them for four days straight. We had an awesome spring break!<br />

Many nights were spent watching movies and eating popcorn. I would have to say that that is probably their favorite thing to do when they come over.<br />

We met Genny and Jordan at the park one day and it couldn't have been nicer. We had a picnic, played on the slides, and best of all... fed the ducks.<br />

We always save the train until last because I have a sneaking suspicion that it is the only reason they want to go to the zoo:)<br />

Addie was our little tour guide. She pointed the way to the animals she wanted to see and to the play area, of course.<br />

Monday was a park and picnic day and then Tuesday we went to Hogle Zoo! It was so much fun and not terribly crowded. We hit the carousel first because it's almost more fun than seeing the animals:)<br /><br />

Spring break! I was lucky enough to have my favorite people with me for four days straight last week. I took a couple of days off work and the kids and I had an amazing staycation. Sunday night we had an Easter BBQ at my mom and Davis's house.Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-13842224933451649212012-03-04T21:34:00.001-07:002012-03-04T21:36:35.442-07:00Accident ProneThis kid is going to be the death of me. He isn't quite two and he has already checked broken leg and 5 stitches off of the list. He slipped in the bath and met the soap dish on the way down yesterday and it was a big enough gash that Davey had to take him to the ER. He also acquires at least one good bump on the head daily. I'm hoping that this is the worst of it and he'll get less accident prone as he gets older. He's a boy so I doubt it, but still... I suppose this is what comes with this adorable little package so I guess I'll keep it:)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-P0n6bU97nj4/T1RCYwzpBuI/AAAAAAAACl8/fglKdEr5tfo/s640/blogger-image--1043193247.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-P0n6bU97nj4/T1RCYwzpBuI/AAAAAAAACl8/fglKdEr5tfo/s640/blogger-image--1043193247.jpg" /></a></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-72910276636399855132012-02-06T11:51:00.001-07:002012-02-06T11:51:32.877-07:00CrackersThis kid is going to become a Wheat Thin. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JfPLTes8c64/TzAhMt5zXII/AAAAAAAAClE/S2iyi4NJ7Ig/s640/blogger-image--1965975324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JfPLTes8c64/TzAhMt5zXII/AAAAAAAAClE/S2iyi4NJ7Ig/s640/blogger-image--1965975324.jpg" /></a></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-29114904058618617962012-02-04T22:37:00.001-07:002012-02-04T22:37:43.007-07:00To Be Continued...I hope that everyone knows from reading my other blog, but if not I must let you know that Davey and I are no longer together. This means that life has been crazy and that posting here has been neglected. I don't have as much time to take pictures as I like and unfortunately we haven't been able to do as many awesome things because we are so busy. I now work and mother full-time so this keeps me pretty busy. However, I am going to continue posting about the kids and such on this blog so everyone can stay up to date, it just might be a while in between posts:)Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-53552093731991573322011-12-27T18:40:00.000-07:002011-12-27T18:40:12.068-07:00Christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This almost seems wrong to post, but it was too funny not to.<br />
Look closely, do you notice something out of place? 2 somethings?<br />
Adelaide came running into the kitchen in her dance clothes with this silly look on her face. I didn't notice at first but then she announced, "look mom, I have boobs!".Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-66414375388069072462011-12-18T12:14:00.000-07:002011-12-18T12:23:11.647-07:00Closer to Christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Addie
and her kindergarten class sang Christmas songs to us on Friday. It is
fun to see her participating in school activities. She seems so grown
up.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My dad took Addie to St. George with him Friday night so we took Reggie to the Provo Towne Center mall to ride the train. He loved it.<br />
<br />

We
went to the old tabernacle to warm up and found that they were
broadcasting a Christmas concert from the new tabernacle. I snapped this
picture from where we were sitting, I think it looks awesome.<br />
<br />
I
can't believe there are only six days until Christmas. This year has
gone by so quickly. Adelaide is out of school for two weeks which should
be fun. Do you know what I'm excited about? The winter solstice. The
shortest day of the year is almost here. This means on to more daylight!<br />

Adelaide is really excited this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So excited that she dressed up as Santa at Ma and Pa Idaho's house over Thanksgiving.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We finally got our tree up today. This was the first year Adelaide really wanted to help.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She did an awesome job hanging all of her ornaments from great-grandma Liechty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Reggie is such a good little helper. He loves to help me do things around the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then there are Christmas ornaments. He likes to destroy them instead.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are finally feeling a little festive around here:)</div>

<br />
Of all things, I was worried that my kids would end up with a horrendous food allergy like to peanuts or shellfish or something like that. You hear stories about kids who can't even go to school because their allergy is so bad. Well... just his luck, Reggie found out he was allergic to peanuts today. He has eaten peanut butter before and he seemed to do fine with it in his belly, but wherever it touched him on his skin he broke out in hives. <br />
<br />
I craved peanut butter like no other when I was pregnant with him; I think I ate it almost every day for lunch. Of course I can't help but think that had something to do with it. Oh, I hope not. His doctor said that there is a correlation of other nut allergies with that of peanuts, so he has to stay away from them all. We even have to carry an epi-pen now, just in case.<br />
<br />
It's going to be rough because we love peanut butter around here. Poor little nugget. It looks like we're going to have to switch to Biscoff Spread. That stuff is tasty.<br />

I saw a mouse in the garage the other day so Davey went to get mousetraps and he took Adelaide with him. She has been fascinated with it ever since. She hasn't seen it but she inspects the traps each day to see if it's been caught. She put this note on the door to the garage today to make sure her friends don't go in... she doesn't want it to get them. The drawing on the left is of one of her friends (a boy), and the one on the right is the mouse. If the mouse really looked like that I wouldn't want it to get me either!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283390880294685238.post-26763126361903856932011-11-03T08:21:00.000-07:002011-11-03T08:22:13.606-07:00Halloween<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The older three girls had fun trick or treating. These two mostly had fun playing tug-of-war with a sucker and sitting in the wagon.

We're glad Addison could show up at the end (priorities Ethan?) and it turned out to be a wonderful party. It was a beautiful, warm fall day and the kids had a good time. That's all that counts, right?<br />
<br />
Happy birthday to my grown-up, beautiful six year old!<br />
We love you Adelaide!<br />

We try to make it a tradition to go to The Red Barn in Santaquin every year, though some years it hasn't quite worked out. The good news is... we made it this year!<br />

It's such a simple fun thing to do as a family, I love it. This year they had a tractor, a maze, and a hill of hay for the kids to play on while we waited for the wagon to pick us up.<br />

I think I'm still in denial, it just doesn't feel real. It seems like it was just yesterday that she was toddling around naked with her big belly and cowgirl hat on. Time goes by in a flash, yet sometimes it seems like forever.<br />

I made an early donut run to Daylight Donuts up the road in PG to surprise her for her big day. She had a special place at the table with balloons and her new favorite donut, a chocolate glazed bar.<br />
<br />
She was beyond excited to wear her new Pumas (they make her run fast like a cheetah) and we walked to and from school. Davey was able to go into work late and Ma Idaho and aunt Susan were in town and joined us for the walk. Reggie didn't know what to think when we left the school without her.<br />
<br />
I'm beyond excited for her, but scared at the same time. It's been almost six years of almost strict parental influence, and now she will be surrounded by so many other kids and teachers who will have a huge impact on her life ( I pray for the best influence possible). I know this is an exciting time and she is going to love it, this reason alone trumps my fears, but what I think I'm getting at is that it's hard to let go. And here's to the beginning of a lot of letting go...<br />

We finally made it through our 7 weeks of hell. I can't sugarcoat it or pretend like it wasn't awful...it was. My anatomy class is finally over. It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The expectations are unreasonable, the credit you get for the time you are required to put in is not near enough, lab instructors are rude (most but not all), and last but not least, never ever take anatomy at UVU.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, we celebrated at Provo Beach Resort with some arcade games and a treat. The stress is finally starting to leave out home and it's time to recuperate. I'm anxious to finally get to know the people in our neighborhood a little better, anxious to see friends, and anxious to spend time with my family that I have so dearly missed.<br />
<br />
Oh yes, and now I have finally officially graduated from college:)<br />

I think most of the neighborhood heard. This is the only part we got on film.

<br />And we were bestest friends,

Our dear Captain America has gone to live somewhere else. <br />
No... he is not dead, but some people came to get him today who will hopefully love and care for him and give him more attention than we could give.<br />
He was ours for seven and a half years and he was Addie's best friend.<br />
I'm trying to figure out how you can love and hate a dog so much. He drove me absolutely crazy and I constantly thought about how nice it would be to not have to deal with him wrecking my garden and eating my tomatoes or slobbering all over my clothes and getting hair all over the place. <br />
But then I thought about how sweet he is, how fun it was to take him to the river, how secure I felt having him around, and how Addie loved the crap out of him.<br />
<br />

I really just want them to take care of him and I hope that they will treat him well and that he will be happy.

We had a slip and slide, ice cream sandwiches, Davey probably got a concussion by doing a belly flop into the kiddie pool, and ended it all with trophies for the kids.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GR6YonBAeUQ/TiuTXDNO-cI/AAAAAAAACY8/JXKN8Yo3sLU/s1600/IMG_2881.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GR6YonBAeUQ/TiuTXDNO-cI/AAAAAAAACY8/JXKN8Yo3sLU/s400/IMG_2881.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> We had a BBQ at my mom's last Sunday that was quite divine. We had grilled mahi mahi, ribs, chicken, and corn on the cob. The kids played in a kiddie pool out back while the rest of us chit-chatted and relaxed in the air conditioning. <br />

Then... Kip and Britney were married on Wednesday. We took the kids and wandered around temple square in Salt Lake; it was a gorgeous day. I never think to go there in the summer but now I want to do it more often.<br />

They came over this afternoon for some slip and slide fun. The cousins have so much fun together, even when they don't see each other more than once or twice a year. <br />

Life gets back to normal (whatever that means) in 3 weeks. In the meantime, It's been crazy trying to squeeze fun things in here and there.

They get huge in about a weeks time and then they form their pupae, which they remain in for not quite a week. Then one by one they suddenly appear as butterflies! We kept them in the house for five days or so before letting them go. Yesterday we took them outside and one by one they flew away. <br />
<br />
It was really fun to see the different stages up close and personal. Adelaide loved it and is already asking for more caterpillars to come in the mail:)Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03718756937746747529noreply@blogger.com4
