This week

What a busy week we have had. We spent the 18Th-23Rd in Salt lake. Six had a convention to go to for work. They provided a rental car for us and they paid the gas. We had fun visiting family. The convention was not what we thought it would be but it was nice to visit everyone. My thoughts are scattered at the moment mostly because I am sick and I am very tired from the trip. No luck with the camera yet so no new pictures. Maybe next month.

Yeah we are back!

We finally got all of our stuff moved into the townhouse. Moving is good for getting rid of junk. But I think I have had enough of moving. Hopefully this will be our last until we get into our home. The maintenance guy's know me by name now. I think they are like oh great it's HER. They have replaced the hose and faucet for the washer, the sprayer on the kitchen sink, a base board heater up stairs, and this week they are replacing the stove and the fridge. This is just a few thing's on their to do list for here. But we have phone and Internet now so I am happy. It was nice to watch conference this weekend on the Internet. I loved Elder Ballard's talk. I was also excited to be a part of the solemn assembly. Six says the best part of the priesthood session was seeing President Monson wiggle his ears. If your husbands missed that it was part of his talk and he,(six)said it was really funny.

We also enjoyed our trip to Washington. It was good to see old friends and to spend time with family. Unfortunately the battery to my camera was left at the park in Pullman so I can not take pictures or post any until I replace it. We had a great Easter. The Easter bunny visited our hotel room and the kids had a fun time doing an Easter egg hunt at the park with all their cousins. Munster got two new dresses. I will have to post the pictures of these. One I made and it turned out great. Web got a new outfit for church. Not a suit like I wanted it to be but that was my fault for not getting to the store on time. There are so many boys in a size 2T here that they can not keep anything that size in stock. They can not keep even a 3T in stock because those mothers like me that couldn't find the 2T went for the next size up. It is a bother. We will get the battery soon so we can post our fun pictures.

Moving

We will be in Pullman the end of next week. Then we come back and we are moving into a townhouse that will save us a lot of money. So we may not have Internet for a while after the 28Th of this month so that we can get thing's set up in our new place. So I will post after we get set up to let you know when we are back.
Thank you for all the comments on our blog spot. It is good to know someone sees it.

Stitches again?

Okay after getting home at 9:30 last night and not getting to bed until 12:00. I am tired. But then we had a very busy day today. Starting with Web being up at 5:30. This is when we realized that after calling yesterday to get the hot water heater's pilot light turned on that it had gone out again. We were all needing a bath after our night last night but it was not to happen. So I called maintenance and they came and lit it again. After an hour and a half there was no hot water still. So I called them again. this time maintenance decided to look further than the pilot light and he discovered they had a leak and this was putting out the pilot light. He called the plumber and they were to come at 2:00. Then we went to the hospital to pick up Web's prescription. The kids ate lunch on the way. We get back and the kids are playing and there is a scream from Web again. The kids had run into each other and they had split the inside of his mouth open even farther. So, We got in the car and headed back to the hospital. But not before I ran into the plumber in the parking lot. I told him maintenance was on the way ( I had called the office on my way out the door to let them know I would not be there). We get to the hospital and the nurse looks at it and says there is nothing they can do because it is on the inside of his mouth and it was not too bad. So here are the pictures of the inside mess.


After all of this Munster was so tired from worrying about her brother that she crashed on the rocking chair. Poor thing. Me, I think I need a bubble bath now that we have hot water again.

Stitches

What a night we had last night. Web decided to see how it felt to kiss a chair, can you say OUCH!!!

I think there are 7 stitches in all. It it hard to tell. He was a good sport about it. We started with 3 nurses and the doctor and Dad holding him. But he wanted mom. I put my hand on his chest and rubbed his head. He relaxed and then they could stitch him up. He still cried the rest of the time though.

Here you can see his bruised cheek and chin. He did a good job on it.

After all of that he is still his happy self. Now with another scar to add to the chin scar.

One of the nurses called him a super hero. When we were done he looked at his lip in the mirror and with a big grin he said, "I am a Super hero". We all laughed.

Getting dressed

I asked the kids to get dressed and this was what I got.
Web chose the shorts and cowboy hat look.
Munster got a little confused.
Well at least they are dressed.

Snacks

This is an idea I got out of a fun activity book for kids.
Supplies: Crackers of your choice, Marshmellows, Cereal of your choice. Nutella or peanut butter, Or any spread you would like to put on the crackers. You could do candy but that is not as healthy. Then you put the spread on the crackers and let the kids do the rest.
Munster likes to do things in a neat way.
Web just bunches it all together and tries to eat it that way.
Here are some finished projects.
Munster loves to show the faces she makes on them.
And this means it is time for a bath.
I try to do this with them once a week. Because they have so much fun with it.

Daddies shoes

The kids wanted to wear daddies shoes so I had to take a few pictures of them.
Here Web is slumping to show me his cool shoes. He likes to do this pose because mom thinks it is funny.
Munster is striking a pose. Aren't I cute.

The Lunar Eclipse

For those who didn't get to see this and those that did I thought I would share these pictures I took of the Lunar Eclipse. It was on the 20Th and the kids and I enjoyed sitting outside and watching it. Thank you Omi for letting us know or we would have missed these shots. These two are just as the sun was closing over the moon.

This was where the moon was completely covered up. It was a pretty red color.I know this is blurry I had to reset up everything(I got cold and went in the house), so some were not as good as others.
This is where the moon is peeking back out.
This went on from 7:00PM-10:00PM.

I got this from a friends blog and thought it would be fun to do. And like her I tag any who read it to do the same on their blogs. (Thanks Janene)

Nap time

It was time for Web to take a nap and he did not want to. So Munster set him up on the computer chair to try and convince him he was tired. It didn't work but the pictures were sure cute.
Cuddles!

Chore chart

I needed a chore chart that my kids could understand and would have fun with and this is what we came up with. The pockets are personalized so there is no question who's is who's and we have pictures of the chore plus a description on each little peace of paper.
As they do their chores they put the ones that are done in the last pocket and then we know what they have left to do in a day. If they don't get a chore done it piles up during the week and there is no playing on Saturday until all the chores are done.

New years eve

At about 8:00 PM we let the kids go out and bang on their pans. This way they could celebrate New years and go to bed on time. They loved it.

Christmas PJ's

Tradition for us is to get a pair of PJ's christmas eve.














I love them!

Mine are too big!

Family pictures

The family Christmas pictures. Yes, I made the dresses.

Stud man in his suit.
This is a ballet pose.

I realized how far behind I was on this and thought I had better catch up. Here is our Christmas picture of the kids. It really shows their sweet spirits.

Gotta love the internet

Okay so we have not had internet for a month so if you have emailed me and wondered why I have not emailed you back it is because we were in the dark ages. No internet for me means no news either. I am glad that family told us about our dear sweet prophets passing. Our prayers go out for the Hinckley family.

Flip flop warning

Okay I sent this to some of you as an email and I hope that the graphic images did not offend you. I apologize if they did. I just wanted to get the warning out to everyone before anyone else got hurt. This is a story of a girl who bought flip-flops from Wal-Mart and the damage that these flip-flops did to her feet and many others. It is an important story to read. The flip-flops were made in China and as we all should know there have been major recalls on toys that were manufactured in China if you have not seen these look them up the toys contained lead in them. I am sure you could go to www.mattel.com to see some of the many toys included in these recalls. As for the slippers no attempt from Wal-Mart has been made as far as I know to remove these flip-flops from their shelves. So beware and do not buy anything made in China. Here is the story http://www.lamanaphotography.com/walmart2.htm

Here is a good laugh!

They came out of Munsters room laughing and this is why.
Oh the black mail pictures we have.
Doesn't he make the cutest little Princess.
Dad says it is time to get some cowboy attire for him.
LOL!
