JANE HEAVEN

This is how she wanted to pose for me

Notice the sucker that they get after each dance lesson...at 10am!

I think she has inherited her posing finesse from me!

I CAN'T FIND MY CAMERA!

Irony

Had a patient today Looked Like this

She was afraid of this

It made me go like this

Maybe she shoulda tried more of this

And this

Taking over!

As the post states, I'm taking over the blog. If Kristine is too busy at her summer job to update, then I guess I will. We have managed to fit in a few fun things around her work schedule, so I thought I show you a few. We were able to go to the aquarium with Tyler and Afsonai and Jane loved being a fish and playing in the coral. Heath loved when we accidentally dropped him in the stingray tank! (okay so that part really didn't happen, but there's not much to say because he just sits around and doesn't do anything)

We also went to the zoo for Fisher's birthday and as you can tell it was a rainy day, but fun none the less.
Heath loved all the animals, at least the ones he could see from being covered up from the rain, so I guess he really didn't love the animals at all.
Jane kept wanting to ride the elephant's trunk, and wouldn't get off. Luckily it makes some elephant sounds and most of the other kids that wanted to sit on it got scared easily, so we pretty much had it to ourselves.
Funnest part of the zoo, is drinking from the lions mouth!
Richard, Sara, and Jocelyn stopped by on their way home to Kansas City for a couple of hours and we had a wonderful time eating ice cream and apple dumplings.

We also managed to go for a bike ride with Randy, Kassi, Oliver, and Ian out at the bird refuge. It was a great day and we got to see a lot of fun birds. Ian's favorite part was finally getting out of the trailer. I think Randy and Kassi strategically placed him in the one I was pulling so that I would have to hear him say "out" everytime we stopped to look at something. By the end, he had somehow managed to pull the cover off and was doing his best to pull himself out while we were still riding.

Heath didn't get to go for a ride but did get pushed around while Kristine read her book. I told her I would just get him a C collar to keep his head up, but she didn't go for that.

Oliver got to ride behind Randy on his new afterburner, and it was similar to a sled rider and his team of dogs. He just kept telling Randy where to go and what he "had to do!" We went to a park after and had lunch and played for a while. All in all it was a fun day.

We have also had time to plant our wonderful garden which consists of about four rows of peas. That's the kind of garden that I like, the other part of our garden which isn't shown here consists of the farmers market where we just go and pay for what we want and don't have to do any work, ahh the american dream!

It IS What Fun Is

In my life I've had some kick A summer jobs. I thought that was way in the past. I thought nothing could beat Camp Hunt, Eagle Mountain Golf Course or Pier 49 pizza. And then along came the summer job of all summer jobs. That's right folks...Lagoon. I work in the Bakery along with my Father-in-Law Dave for eleven days in order to get discount passes to give to my family. We are called School Days Moms. Let me just tell you dreams do come true in your thirties...you just gotta keep dreamin. keep on dreamin.

And What A Blessing

On Saturday this last week we got to go to some festivities for Carl's graduation in Logan. We love visiting that place, it brings back good memories. Congrats Carl.

Then Reed, Randy and I got to play together in an outdoor soccer game. I haven't played outdoor forever, but it was really fun to play with Randy and Reed and the weather was perfect. Sunday we blessed Cactus. Wes even called him the right name throughout the blessing. It was fun to have everyone over and to feel all of the love and support our little family has-

thanks everyone!

Cactus trying to wind down after a busy dayAnd thanks to mom and dad for the adorable outfit he got blessed in, he looks like a little man instead of a baby.

My favorite thing to do these days is play with the kids in bed as long as they will let me.

I just like his expression on this one.

It's Spring Hooray!

On A Happier Note

Thanks to everyone for the love and tears, I was actually shocked by how many people cried over Forrest, yes, he is the best dog ever, but if that many people are sorry when I die I will be happy, still dead, but happy.

We are blessing Cactus on Sunday so I have been trying to get everything ready to have fun guests. I love family parties so much!

Here are some photos. We got to go to St. George for a quick get-a-way with Ashlee and Max. Ashlee and I discovered it's not really a get-a-way when you take your kids and leave your husbands ha ha! It was still nice to have some sun on my face and I had a really really good time. Cactus was an angel until the drive home and even then he really wasn't too bad. He just has one volume when he cries and that is LOUD! He is looking handsome soaking up the rays at the park.

I realized the last pictures I posted of him he had baby acne so bad. That has been long gone and I will soon post a video of his dad making him giggle...it is kinda funny.

This is Jane preying on the sweetness of little Max at the splash park. She is throwing a fit and of course I am used to it and am ignoring her. But poor Max thinks she is so sad...can you see it in her eyes? She is totally loving this. Fake waaaaa.

Fun Eats at Wingers with Ashlee and Max

The only millisecond in their carseats when they were getting along
