Halloween 2008

So here they are Riley a cat. Brody a monkey but if you asked him it was boots the monkey..
And Hyde was a mouse so the cat would have something to chase..
We had alot of fun tonight. We hung out and ate yummy food at our friends house then trick-or- treated until our bags where over flowing.

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

The broken Buddy Bone......

So after dinner we all were in the family room playing and Riley said ok dad its time for your check up. And during his check up we all found out that he had a very VERY serious BROKEN BUDDY BONE!! And that we NEEDED to call his boss and tell him he couldn't move for 10 whole days. Then all three kids got into the dress up and got out there bandages or there scarfs and blankets to wrap daddy up to make him better. Hyde mostly suppervised as you can see. After all the watching and wraping and kisses and when bed time rolled around a miracle happened Riley said Daddy your buddy bone is all better. I told you I was a good Doctor. And Brody echoed yeah dad I a good doctor.

Memorial Day Fun!

Ok sorry no pictures I totally forgot my camera.....But wanted to remember what happened today..

So our day started out at 5:30 for Robert as he had to get up and be at Texas Old Town by 6am. So he was off. I got up at 6:15 and got showered and ready and the got the kids up and awake and dressed and then we waited for Roberts mom to come so she could follow us to the annual scouts pancake breakfast Yummy. So we got to the breakfast which was oh so yummy and I didn't have to make it even better. And we the place is beautiful. They had just built this new hall and the grounds around it were wonderful. So we ate and then the scouts did a flag ceremony and then we went tagpoleing yes I know that isn't a word but were in Texas and we were catching tadpoles. So we kicked off our shoes and waded into the water Riley, Brody and I Robert and Hyde where chicken I think Hyde would have come in if I would have let him. hehehe But we did catch two. Two I tell you they were so cute. I put them into two cups and Brody took one home and Riley took one home and then we walked them next store to our lovely neighbor Rhonda thank you thank you so we knocked on her door and asked if we could please put them into her pond in her backyard and she was so excited and just such a great sport. She told the kids that they could come back in a week to check on them and that when they get bigger they will hear the frogs and they even got to feed her fish. AND she had gotten them bubbles at the store earlier this week. She is so nice. Thank you Rhonda. So that is what we have done with our day so far and we are so grateful that we have this country to live in where men and women fight for us so we can go out and eat pancakes and catch tadpoles. What are you doing on this wonderful day?

Family Home Evening

My kids love to dance to bad this was taken with my phone I wish I would have gotten the baby it was so cute he was sitting just out of the frame and he was wiggling his legs to cute...

I hope you guys had a great family night.

NO EASTER

OK SO we had no Easter here at our house... :( very sad I know but this is how the story goes.......... It all begins on Friday..





It all started out great we were going on our ward camp out.. Everyone was finally feeling better Yippee!!!!!!! So we all got up that morning and Robert had to go into the office just for a few things he was going to be home around 11 am.. So I am getting things ready and everything is great. We gave Hyde his last dose of antibiotic (this is very important remember this later) And we hit the road. Camp is only about 1hr away from our home..







We get there and we are having a great time.... We make a yummy dinner of pizza on the grill if you haven't done this you have got to try it yummy.... and go to the river and play in the water and then got to a wonderful fireside given by the Bishop..... Then Night falls and this is where the Fun begins...... We get the two older kids into bed around 9pm and then stay up playing Mafia.. fun... Then around 10:30 we head for bed.. it is now getting really cold and we are so unprepared.... And the never ending night begins..... Hyde never never Never slept.. he was awake for most of the night. Screaming and crying and just cold and never happy. I felt terrible for the tents full of families next to us... Sorry... So when it was 5am yes you saw that right 5 am he finally crashed.... We were so happy so we got about 45Min's of sleep before the high priests where up and making breakfast... And as I sat up with the sleeping Hyde next to be I look down and he is covered,Covered.




Head to toe with spots. At the time we didn't know they were hives but that was scary... So we got a blessing by now he was not breathing right. And some how all of our stuff was taken down and put into our car before we all could make it to the bathroom... And we were off to the Dr's thanks goodness for pediatricians that have Saturday Hours! We get there and find out that he is Allergic to the Rx he had been taking.... So now you can see why we had no Easter I was holding baby and we were all sleeping and I wasn't organised to get stuff before Saturday so didn't have anything but the clothes but then not everyone went to church so I promise next Sunday when we all get dolled up we will take pictures and I'll post them here.










Update on Hyde he was twice his size on Sunday and Monday (sorry no Monday update will do that next) but is slowly getting unswollen and returning back to normal... Thank you Benadryl

Robert and Riley in the kitchen carving pumkins.

They turned out really cute. Riley's was in the shape of a spooky cat and Brody had his in the shape of a ghost..

So we ended up with a ton of candy at our house and now who is eatting it I am really good at only letting the kids have 2 a day but me if my fall back. Oh don't have time for a real breakfast but I am starving so grab some candy on your way out or to feed Hyde. I know I am really bad I need to stop hopefully Robert will take it far way or I can get brave and just put it away for later a little at a time.

Ok so halloween is done now its Thanksgiving and then way to fast before I know it it will be Christmas wow where does the time go???????

Saturday

Wow why does it seem like everything happens on Saturday whatever happened to the Saturdays when I was little where then NEVER seemed to end. Now they are gone in a blink of an eye.

So here is just alittle of what we did..................

First I got up and swept and was going to mop but little ones got up so went on to making breakfast for everyone.
Then showers and getting ready as that is always SO MUCH FUN:)
Then Robert had I dont know how many different places he could or should or had to be at all at one time what do they think he is some super human from Heroes hehehhee.
Even though he thinks he really is one.
I got a friends Husband aka Joe to stand in for Robert. He got to watch Riley and Brody for me so that Annie (his wife) and I could go to our SUPER SATURDAY!!! (wow this is really starting to sound like an episode of Heroes hehehe) So we went there and didnt get all the things we wanted out of that so headed to Hobbie Lobby to get more Crafty goodness and bring it home so we could pretend to act like we know what we are doing. And to relieve Joe and now Robert back from his many destinations, from the kiddos. Then we worked on our crafts. Then Joe and Annie left to go to dinner at there families home. And we decided to go to Gattitown so we loaded everyone up and took off....
Wow why are there School buses out on a saturday so we decided to just go to TGIFriday's Oh yummy. And we didnt have any food thrown on the floor double thumbs up...
Then we went to the NEW Super Target (hehe back to the super hero thing eheheh ok its all in my head I know anyway) And its so great to have one finally close we really missed having a real target here in Texas. Then we got home and got the kids ready for bed and wow where did the day go??
So now we are off to bed so that we can get up for church in the morning (wish us luck)...
