Friday Night Baseball

I got a phone call from my Dad while at an appointment yesterday asking me if we wanted to go to an Owls Baseball game.  For free?  Of course!

"Take me out to the ball game!"  (Side note: Winni does not know this song.  I have failed as a sister.)

 I really wanted to get one with all the kids and the Owl but Katy of course wanted nothing to do with it and Tucker wasn't willing to pose for me.

 Our seats were right on the first base line, right over the dugout for the other team.  Cool!

 At this point I wish I had Photoshop.  I had to put them all up so you could see why.

Nice smile Thad and why are you winking Norma?

A little better.

Finally a good smile from Thad.  Katy... was done smiling.

 Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us and making our weekend so wonderful!

 Katy still was not happy about being there.

 The kids all got free nachos thanks to Papa's boss who sat in front of us.

And Nana and Papa got us all snow cones.  Can you tell what flavors we all had. ;0)

What a great night!  The boys loved watching the game and the score board.  Norma loved having Winni all to her self and Katy just wanted me to hold her and whinned all night.  I enjoyed the family time. :0)

Provo River

Nate took the kids to the park while I went for a contact check-up. It was so hot he let them get in the water. 

Katy had no desire to go any farther than this. 

She did love the grass. 

And a little girl her size. 

Late Night Pull

I might be up late playing cards. I might be letting my kids watch a movie this late. I might be sick to my stomach because Norma came upstairs with a mouth full of blood and says, "This is a good night to lose a tooth."

Not sure if the Tooth Fairy will find us at Nana and Papa's. 

How is she suppose to eat now?

Laundry?

I'm not even sure what to say about this.  Just a little creeped out right now.

I was cleaning out the toy box, finding the second spider in there,when I asked Thad to do his laundry.  He came back telling me that there was a bug in his laundry.  I rolled my eyes and told him to kill it.  He was a boy, just smash it.  Whining he went back.  Tucker then come to inform me how lucky Thad is to have a scorpion in his laundry basket.  WHAT!  Climbing out of the middle of the toy explosion I ran to see this.

At first glance it looks like it might be plastic.  Until we moved the basket and it moved.  How it got in the house, in his laundry is beyond me but I hope that it's the last one.  Now I have the willy's. 

GRASS!!!

 You know, we have been making our own fun in Wendover, spending a lot of time at the pool, playing a lot of electronics, watching all the Harry Potter movies as Thad finishes the book, be I don't think we realized how much we missed a yard.

Mom pulled out the pool and slip-n-slide for the kids and they spent the whole week out there.  Rain and shine. (I may have forgotten to bring sunscreen. :0/ Oops. )

 I am so proud of my kids though.  The pool has been wonderful for them and learning to hold their breath under water.   The boys would see who could hold it the longest and then Nate had to be included. ;0)

 Got to love this girl!

 The boys would go right after the other and have to roll out of the way.

 Norma was so funny!  I got the best video of this!  She would jump in and swim under water to the other side of the pool.  This little, tiny, not very deep pool.  I tried to tell her it wasn't like the pool in Wendover but she loved jumping in anyways. 

 For the down time, Katy got a ride on Thad's back all night long.  He sure loves his sister.  Now if only he could show the other sister this much love... 

5 am Wake Up Call

While being at Mom's she was able to talk me into walking with her before she had to go to work.  At 5 in the morning...

I love the stormy sky in the morning.  I miss the air and seeing the mountains this close.  Plus having it be cooler was amazing!

Love the pink sunrise!  Thanks for getting me and Winni up and going for the day Mom.  I never knew how much I liked walking in Wendover more, no hills. :0)

Traveling with Eva

We learned some new rules to traveling with dogs.

1) Make sure she can get her nose into the cab of the truck.

2) Don't put the frisbee where you don't want her climb.

Nate ended up getting a ladder to see if she would climb it.  She did.  Blogger won't let me post the video of that though.
