Draper Temple Open House

Friday, we were able to go to the Draper Temple Open House. It was beautiful as you can tell from the pictures. The kids really enjoyed themselves and they were really good. We love you Grandma and Grandpa!

Sunday Dress

OK mom here is Mya in her new Easter Dress and Zek. You have to remember when we were kids and would not pose for you at all. As you can tell from the pictures they didn't really want to take them. Zeks hair is way too long by the way and he is in need for a haircut. Mya loves her new dress and her boomers (bloomers that cover her underware). She had a great day in nursery today. And Scott and I are glad to be done talking.

Cheesey Kids

Ok. So we went to the Draper Temple open house today and the kids thought it was really neat. They had us sit down in the sealing room and Zek asked me, " Mom who do we get to watch get married?" But of course I forgot my camera so no pics yet. Lisa was kind enough to take a few but I don't have them yet. The day was long starting at 5 am to get ready and be to the temple by 10am. We then went to lunch with Scotts dad for his 54th Birthday!! Happy Birthday Grandpa. Since Grandma Patty wants pictures the kids agreed with very chessy smiles. We hope you like the pics. Love and Miss You! PS This week we had two beautiful days in the upper 50s we were getting excited for spring. But when we awoke on Thursday morning we had to be reminded that its still winter with yucky spring snow!!

For Mom

I was talking with my mom this week and she asked if I had updated my blog. I said, "no we haven't had a very interesting week." She reminded me that when your grandkids are faraway its always interesting. This week I had parent teacher conferences with Zeks teacher and she said she doesn't know what else to teach him. His dibbles scores are all off the charts (i.e. a regular score is 18 he scored a 52 in one of the sections). No wonder he gets bored at home he isn't really getting challenged. Oh and just for everyones info. Zek has decided that he will start collecting bannana peels. LOL! not going to happen. Funny story he thinks he needs to start collecting something because grandma naylor collects spoons, Lisa collects globes, Julie collects shot glasses his cousins collect rocks (which he did not want to do) and grandma patty used to collect tins. So he was so excited when he came up with the idea to collect bannana peels-then I had to break his heart and tell him he couldn't collect bannana peels.

I had a doctors appt. this week and everything looks great only 8 more weeks to go!! Although I am hoping less :) Mya has been sick all week and really isn't getting better eventhough she has been on antibiotics for 3 days, so I guess we will see the doctor again this week. On Friday we get to go to the Draper Temple open house so I will update then.

PS Sorry Mom Zek did not want his picture taken this week, He still loves and misses you.

This week has gone by so fast. At the first of the week we had snow and now it is warm and melting. I am hoping for spring, but Scott said we are suppose to get snow next week. Zek had presidents day off and loved having his cousins come to play. Wednesday we went grocery shopping after Scott was done working and we hadn't had dinner so the kids asked for every thing imaginable (since they were hungry). Note to self: Do not go grocery shopping when kids are hungry. Thursday I took the kids with me to my 3D ultrasound and the baby stuck her tongue out at them. Mya loved seeing the baby, Zek said "thats all we came for" I think they were expecting to actually see her, but oh well. It was cute to watch them as they looked at their new sister that will be coming.

Cute Things Mya said this week.

12:00 p.m. after taking Zek to school and going to the post office
"Mom its been a long day."

Tuesday afternoon Mya comes into the sewing room to find my, she wants to put pjs on.
"Mom can I put on PJs" (naked as a J Bird)
"Mya where are your underware?"
"In my pants mom"
"Where are your pants?"
"Downstairs I took them, I want PJs"
"Ok but you have to wear underware"
"Why?"
"Because"

It goes on and on.

For Tracy!/ Happy Valentines

Happy Valentines Day! This post is mainly for Tracysbenefit. She told my mom that I don't fix Myas hair so here it is proof that I do fix her hair everyday. There has only been 2 times that we've lived here that I have not fixed her hair. 1. I was sick all day. 2. I was in the emergency room, but Scotts mom still fixed Myas hair. P.S. Its not my fault that Mya decided she needed bangs-I don't even know where she got scissors and I have yet to find any hair.

Today is Valentines Day and the kids are really excited. We are having a Valentines Dinner at Drew and Brittanis and the kids can't wait. Things here are going well. Scott is working on a dresser for the girls to share and has been busy with work. I am just ready to be done with this pregnancy, but since its not time I guess I will have to hang in there. Zek loves school, especially P.E. Mya has learned to play really well by herself. Her favorite thing to play with is her princess figurines and of course her baby.

Summer time?/My spoiled children

I guess my kids are ready for summer. Well who isn't. Today they received a box from Grandmas house filled with all the goodies for summer including swimsuits, flops, v-day dress, jacket and more. Thanks to Tonya, Tracy, Nani and Grandma for the goodies. While Mya wanted to model hers, Zek was not as interested so no picture for him. As you can see from the pictures Mya wore her swimsuit all day and is still wearing it (to eat, nap and play). P.S. There is still snow outside and the high was 28 today. Mya asks us to go swimming everyday. I guess we'll have to take them to the rec center so they can swim in February.

Things here are good. Zek is reading his unit 19 book in the readwell program and loves it once we get him to sit down and read. Apparently he had a school bus incident this week. On Monday he came home with a scratch on his neck and I asked what happened. He ignored me and gave the dirtiest look a kid can give. Finally after asking and asking he said a boy on the bus was going to beat him up. After following up with Grandma and the Bus driver, apparently Zek and this boy are friends one day and enimies the next. They both bug eachother just to the others reaction. Boys will be boys I guess.

Today I learned that I am now mean and rude but after all that he still loves me. Sometimes I think being a mother isn't very rewarding but then at night when its time to lay down and go to bed I get to hear the sweetness of it.
