We put money in the eggs!!! Just kidding this was all for candy!! So funny!!
The lack of posts is due to having a few more children at my house for a few days! Mike & Jen went to Mexico so we returned the favor of watching their kids (they watched ours when we went to Florida). So for Wed, Thurs, & Friday we had their kids! Then on Friday-Saturday we had my brother's dog & both of my parent's dogs! Then on Sunday-Monday Boston, Aubrie & Tyson came to stay until their mom & dad got home. WOW!!
The kids did great, Tyson got sick & so did Jaxsyn so they were on the grouchy side. I did not get any pictures which I am sad over!
I took a short video of Ashlynn's Dance performance. This is her 2nd competition and she team got 2nd place on both of their dances! She loves dance so much, which makes it fun to take her & watch!
It makes 10 gal. so fill jug half full of soap and half of water and shake. Mixed with water ready to use! Shake before each use.
Sam is trying to make her eye look more swollen then it was because she thinks it is cool.
This morning I was curling sam's hair for church and she said I am hungry. I said what did you eat for breakfast? Nothing. I say, Well dad is cooking lunch right now let's finish your hair and then you can eat. ( It was only 10:30m)
Mom, I think I'm going to throw up...(she leans forward into the sink to throw-up). I am not worried she has a very sensitive stomach and any amount of stress or lack of food make's her throw-up. She all of the sudden she passes out!! I catch her and scream for Ryan (her hair is in the curling iron still!) I get out the curling iron and get her to the floor where she wakes up only a few seconds later (okay I was mildly freaking out!). We get her a drink and sit her up and notice her eye swollen & black. She hit it on the facet when she passed out!!! She recovered after throwing-up and drinking some soda and getting a little food.
She is very proud of her black eye none the less.
Yea, Coleman finally lost his top tooth!!! We thought we would have to get it pulled. He pulled it out during church!!!!
Ashlynn's first dance competition was on Saturday it was a long day that started at 6:30am with hair & make-up to drive to Timpview for her performance. The two pictures are of her right before (stressing) going on to perform. The trophy in the middle is the Company trophy which is engraved with all the catergories they won. Ashlynn got a little trophy as well.
This why my neighborhood is awesome!! On Friday night it was warm (so exciting!) at 8:30 tons of kids and some parents were still outside enjoying the weather & chattting. The kids were playing night games (bears in the bushes) I don't know the rules, but here there are counting on the tramp! My kids think they invented night games which is so cute because night games have been around forever!!
Here's the translation... On the side, break the pickle, up high, down low, your too slow! Jaxsyn loves this game!!!
We were all really worn out tonight so we decided that we would play the wii as family home evening tonight and eat chocolate waffle brownies. Sounds like fun huh! WRONG! Ashlynn accidentally hit Jaxsyn with a remote. Sam threw a fit about not being able to make her person jump. Coleman actually did pretty well, he even let someone else be 1st remote!!!! Jaxsyn ran into a chair at the dinner table and then threw a fit because she didn't get to carry the brownies. Then fighting over which games to play within 30 minutes we were done!!! Had them shower get in jamas and read, lights out by 8:00pm! Yea!!! I think they were so tired from playing outside in the nice weather all afternoon they all fell asleep really quick!
Nothing has be decorated yet so everything looks a little plain!
The movie room!! This kids love to perform on the "stage" !
We still have to order the movie chairs and TV & surround sound! This will be a little while!
The Bathroom! Tiled by my mom & sister-in-law & me!
This is the link to the news story for the fire:
The basement is coming along! My mom & I tiled the basement kitchen area last night it took 5 1/2 hours!!! We are hoping to get the basement finished in the next week or two! I'll post photos when it is all done.
Sam, Ashlynn, Coleman, & Jaxsyn with Brittany!
The Draper Temple open house. We had such a great experience, the kids were amazing and seemed to feel the Spirit that was there. Our Favorites:
Ryan-The Baptism Font, it was really open and you just stood in awe of the beauty of it.
Chelsi- The Brides Room was absolutely gorgeous, there is a mirror with 3 parts and without planning each of my girls was standing in a section (Jaxsyn in her dad's arms) looking in the mirror it definitely brought me to tears.
Samantha- The chandeliers which were amazing. And the Brides Room.
Ashlynn- The chandeliers.
Coleman- The Baptismal Font & the mirrors in the sealing room (he says that was cool).
Jaxsyn- The swimming pool, "I go swimming there!" AKA the Baptismal Font
Ryan's, Aunt Anne was here visiting for Brittany's last game cheer leading. We invited her to join us to the open house. It was fun to see her and Megan her daughter joined us as well. Ashlynn has always really loved Auntie Anne!
