President Day Weekend

This year we stayed home for President's day weekend since Tyler had a basketball on Sat. It turned out to be a very fun weekend. I need to start taking more pictures but I did take my camera on two of our activities to document for the kids, just remember children you had fun and mom and dad must love you a lot!


Friday I let Tyler get out of some school so he could go snowboarding with his cousins Easton and Jacob and Uncle Steve. The had a blast and there is even a story about a run away snowboard! Treven and Halle weren't so lucky and got to stay home with mom, but they got to play with Dylan until 10pm so it made up for it and they got to have a movie night.

Saturday was Tyler's last basketball game until their playoff game for 3rd place. They had a great year and a great coach, Ryan. Even though he claims he knows nothing about basketball he did a really good job with the boys. Tyler had a great year and keeps getting better and better.

After Tyler's game the kids got to chose either to go shooting or swimming and the kids wanted to g o swimming. So off to the Springville Pool we went along with Carter and had a fun time watching the kids play tag with Ryan, making gaint cannonballs off the diving board, um Ryan, and making sure that Emery didn't drowned since she has no fear of the water and loves to jumped into the pool! After the pool Ryan and I got to go to the temple with our friends the Roylance's while Tyler babysat. We are in a whole new world now with having Tyler being able to babysit for a couple of hours and we love it and he does a great job. AFter the temple we came back to our house to have a pizza and play games with the Roylance's and the Jackson's. We never got to the game playing but the kids took care of that while the adults gabbed the night away. Thanks guys for a fun night!

Sunday was church and a day of relaxing since Emery has had the hardest time sleeping the last two weeks. I don't know what it is but it feels like we have a newborn baby again. She has been getting up aleast three times a night! So we took Sunday as a rest day and took naps and watched a movie all together. Treven and Halle wanted a little art project and so we found the butcher paper and made some people for them to color. Dinner was at Janette's and then the kids got a sleep over with Luke and Dylan while Tyler went down to the Lancaster's house and slept there.



Monday was spent out in Orem since Treven had an assessment at the Sylvan learning center. So while Treven was at his assessment, Tyler was up at Sundance with Nathan, the girls and I spent a couple hours at the mall killing time at the treehouse and getting a little shopping done. After Treven's assessment the kids got to choose either Classic Skating or getting a toy. Well Treven can't pass up an oppurnitity to get more legos. So Treven choose a trip to walmart for a lego set while the girls wanted to go and do Build-a-Bear.
















For FHE we were having a nice little lesson when Ryan told the kids he needed some help with a work project and so the next thing I have four kids in their swimming suits ready to help dad no questions asked. The project was finding out what would work better if you had to pop a balloon full of shaving cream or whip cream, you have to love games you have to come up with for a construction business meeting! Well we found out if you needed to have a game of popping balloons full of cream the whip cream explodes the best! Either way the kids had a blast, my shower got really clean, and the kids all smelled nice like shaving cream.

I am loving all the blogging you are doing! I so need to be better! The Family home evening with the cream, balloons and shower = some serious fun! We will have to try that one! You look like you are on the run all the time with your kids and I can now see why! You are such a good mom!
