Big Guys Little Guys with Mom

March 24, 2009

I got Kirt and Logan some tickets at the library for a Daddy and Sons day....well it turned out that Kirt wasn't able to make it...he had to work. Sooooo, I got to go with Logan and be a Dad for the day. We had a Mom and Son day instead. The library was hosting "Big Guy's Little Guy's" medievil knight themed activity. First we went to the fishing game which Logan went back and did a couple more times (he loved the prizes), we watched jugglers juggle real knives, we pet the "beasts" (tarantula, turtle and lizard), then they had a build your own castle ( with legos) area and we did that for a little bit. We dug for gold and Logan noticed an area to get a balloon crown and so we went and got that and then they had a face painting area (he wanted a skeleton face). They had a jousting area where the kids got fake swords and "battled" with their dad's or mom's in this case. They also had a basketball hoop to thrown balls in...I'm not quite sure what that had to do with the whole knight and shining armor theme, but it was "guyish". We had a great time! Afterwards they give you a Mc D's 'happy meal', although we missed that and I went by Wendy's and picked him up a lunch. Then we went by a fabric store so he could pick out some fabric to make himself an 'Easter pillowcase'. We were really lucky that Grandma was willing to watch the other kids so we could do this. It was a great Mom and Son day!

Lincoln's Baby Blessing

November 22, 2009

Today, we finally blessed Lincoln! I know, he can practically talk and bless himself...but today we did it! My whole family came...Kenna and Brad Mills family, Kari and Michael Brown family, Kim and Tyson, Gee Gee, Mom and Dad, Mom and Pa, Keith and Liz family, Koster and Caitlin. They all made it to our ward or church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) at 9:00 am! Yes...it's early. Then we went to my parents house for brunch, to celebrate the blessing. It was a really nice day and it was an awesome blessing. A lot of precious things were said. I'm very grateful for my family and especially for a husband who holds the preisthood and blesses my children.

Your a Winner!!!

I got this post from my sister in law...I've decided to have a little fun as well.

The first three people to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me.

However there are some limitations.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it is going to be, poetry, clothes, paper goods, or a little invention of my own. I may bake something and mail it to you .
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here's the catch, if you choose to do this. You must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for three people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.

Are YOU in?????

Lincoln is 4 months!

Today, my little one is 4 months old! I can't believe it...time goes fast.

Science Fair

March 7, 2009

I noticed on a building near our house a sign that said free science fair for kids...so I decided to take Logan. We had a mom and son day! Kirt watched Landon and Lincoln so I could take Logan. It was really fun!!! Logan loved going and collecting a stamp for each section of the fair. At the end of the fair if you've completed the "passport to science" then you get a prize...in our case a water bottle or sunscreen. He has always wanted his very own water bottle...so it worked out. We made Kleidoscopes and our very own ice cream. We got to do a balloon race, dig for fools gold, balance nails, karate, played with gloop, (Logan was dry heaving during this section which made a lot of people wonder if he was sick) it's really just cornstarch and water but he thought it was gross, suspect a killer by testing different pens and seeing which pen had the right combination of colors in the ink, tested our taste buds, made bubbles with dry ice and dish soap, and made soda explode with mentos candy. It was great. Logan was chosen to assist with the exploding soda, he didn't quite expect the soda to go all over him... it was classic, I wish I had a picture for that moment, my camera wouldn't take the picture fast enough.

Silly Landon

Landon likes putting things on his face. He know's he's cute.

Tackling Papa Kim!

Here's Logan and Landon and Papa Kim (Kirt's dad) rough housing! They love their Papa!
