Our week in Idaho Falls

My husband was going to be gone for three weeks, so I decided that I just didn't want to hang out at home. So the girls and I went to Idaho Falls to hang out with Melyni and Nels and their families. We had a good time. We stayed the night at Melyni's house. She was so nice to let us stay there and let my girls destroy their house. Hopefully my girls didn't really destroy their house. I'm sure their house was a lot more noise. We had fun playing the Wii with them and playing with Cade. He is such a cutie. I had a good time talking with my little sister too, she is one of my best friends. I never thought I would say that until we went to High School together in Mountain Home. Nels and Rachel had to go to Salt Lake for Nels' work so we didn't get to hang out with them until Sunday evening. It was nice to get to hang out with them even though it was only for a couple of days. I packed up our xbox and the game rock band to take over there. So it was fun playing rock band with the family. Tyra and Shelby had a lot of fun playing with Nels and Rachel's girls. On Monday they played outside and even tried to help Rachel with her flower garden. Shelby picked up a sleeping (dead) mouse and brought it to me. Yeah, I freaked out and made her drop it and wash her hands. She is still talking about the sleeping mouse. Tyra had a sleep over with Hazel and Lilie. She thought that was a lot of fun.

While we were there we got to go to the handicap park. It was so fun. Everything was huge so adults can even play on it. The girls had a lot of fun. We also went to the zoo while we were there. That was a lot of fun. The girls loved it. I was surprised Shelby was actually good. I thought I was going to have a lot of problems with her. I did have her on a monkey leash though. After the zoo we went to the Earth day celebration just across the street. We got a lot of free stuff including forget me nots (flowers). The girls are looking forward to planting them this spring. We will see how that goes. It was nice to get a way from our house and animals. Now we are home and I am cleaning like crazy before my husband gets home on Saturday. We are excited to have him home, we miss him so much. I think he might miss us too. The Huge swing

Tyra Spinning, it makes me sick just looking at it.

The Scary hippo, it took Tyra a long time to go inside of it.
Shelby was excited to see the zebras

The Girls ~March 2009







Shelby thought the bunny was hungry

What's New

Sorry I have updated in a while. I feel like I don't usually have anything to write about. My life isn't that interesting most of the time. Just stay home and take care of kids. That's about it.

March
So of course we celebrated a birthday in March. My little Tyra turned 5 and isn't so little any more. She is growing up so fast. We had a fun birthday party at Grandma Chick's house. Tyra invited some kids from church and some of her cousins came to the party. Her Grandma Raytha flew up and spent almost a week with us. It was a lot of fun. It was a Wall-e party with a Wall-e cake. She got a lot of really cool presents. Tyra loved it. Once again we were able to get the girl's picture taken this month. They turned out really good.

Tyra also started soccer this month. She likes it, but wishes she could play games instead of just practicing. Maybe in September she can play games. We are just waiting for the weather to warm up so we can go out and play. We have been able to go to the park a couple of times this spring, but we can't wait till we get to go a couple times a week. We love being outside in the warm weather, but who doesn't
We also went out and bought the game Rock Band to go with Jeremy's xbox 360. We all have had a lot of fun playing. Tyra is quite a singer and Shelby loves playing the drums. Jeremy and I compete over the guitar, so I told him he's got to buy me my own guitar for my birthday. I think it would be something fun to do for our family reunion.

April
Ok, April just started. It seems like we have so much going on this month. I enjoyed General Conference very much this weekend. I think I needed it. I just wished Jeremy was here to watch it with me. He always has drill weekend during General Conference. He was able to go to the priesthood section last night.
Well, we started out this month sick. It started with Shelby getting sick, then Tyra and now I have it. I was hoping to start going to the gym on Monday, but I don't know if that is going to happen. I just hope my cold goes away soon. It's not fun being sick and being a mother at the same time.

Today Shelby decided while I was in the shower she was going to get something to eat. So when I got out of the shower I see eggs and strawberries all over the kitchen floor. Shelby was dipping the strawberries in the eggs. I was not a happy person at that point. Being sick and then having to clean up a mess of eggs and strawberries was not what I wanted to do. Let's just say that the girls are having a great time in their bedroom today.
Jeremy will be leaving to Kansas this month for a school. He will be there for 2 weeks and then come home for not even a day and fly down to San Antonio, TX for another school. He will be pretty busy doing that and at the same time trying to get his finals done for college. Hopefully the time he is gone will go by fast. The girls and I are planning on taking a trip to Idaho Falls and staying there a week. We just have to see how the money situation is though. We are looking forward to seeing family for Easter. Even though that is the day Jeremy is taking off. Hopefully we will get to spend some time with family that day. Well I will quit writing and post some pictures and maybe a video, if I can get it to work. I will try to keep up to date on my blog.
