This post requires your imagination, due to the fact that a freak accident has caused all the pictures I have taken since January 22nd to be lost. All I wish to say about this is, thank goodness for blogging lots of pictures! At least the few I blogged are not lost.
I bought a kiddie pool and put our slide into it. It was really good to get the kids outside in their swimsuits and play in the water. It was very sad that I had to put a bag over Nick's cast and it would always fill up with water and I would have to take him out early and he would scream and cry at the door watching Eric and Liam in the pool.
Next, remember Nick's arm in a red cast? Well we got rid of that thing on the 8th. I think that I am the most pleased about it's absence.
So now...imagine my 3 adorable children with shaggy hair. Now imagine Cookie Cutters. Liam's hair was like past his nose and ridiculous. As usual it pains me to cut the hair and he ended up with a shag haircut. Which at first was a little funny looking, but now that it's been a couple weeks looks very cute. Nick just got a trim. After some long deliberation I decided on a mohawk for Eric! I figure...why not now? I didn't do anything to crazy. Think Puck on Glee. I think he looks cute, Ryan is not a fan.
Ryan's brother, Thayne, is getting married to Sarah. Annette and I went to her Bachelorette party and it was tons of fun. I had an awesome video of her pinning the "firehose" on the sexy topless fireman, where she walks off sideways...but...yeah...it's gone forever :(
My friend Whitney came for a visit. We ate delicious food more than once, had a poker night, went shopping and saw a movie. I barely new what to do with myself!
It's been pretty sunny and beautiful here and on one such sunny day the boys went outside and watered the plants. They had tons of fun with their watering cans.
Eric was sick all last week. Nasty, poopy, barfy sick. We have overcome it though! Also...by some miracle Nick and Liam seem to have dodged this sickness. Knock on wood.
Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days was also all last week. On Saturday we went to the parade and got entertained by a fake shoot out. Nothing says good family fun like a cowboy being shot dead in the street 6 feet in front of you! We got a lot of coupons and saltwater taffy. Afterwards we went to a gas station for some drinks and while waiting in the car Liam went from wide awake to fast asleep. It was like 5 minutes. No binky. That car seat has magic powers. Imagine Nick and Eric in Ally's sunglasses. I had a lot of cute pics of that. Booo.
Lastly, we went to the Carnival on Saturday evening. They actually had a lot of kiddie rides, which cost a lot of money. Nick rode the caterpillar ride, Eric rode the Jeep driving ride and all 3 kids rode this little train ride. It's the first time we've ever taken them to something like that, and they had a blast. I had videos of them waving from the train...but...*weeping* *wailing*
We had a "nice" Father's Day, which included eating lunch at IHOP. I had big plans for Ryan, but then he got mad at me in the morning and I was grouchy and chose to not do them. He also insisted on no gifts, and yet after all this said that he really liked Father's Day...go figure.
So there you have it.
:( Sigh.
Now for something that is on an upbeat note...me and Ryan get to go to Paul McCartney on my birthday! This almost replaces those pictures! (sorta.)
