A little R & R

So, Parker and I took the kids up to my parents condo in Park City this weekend. We just needed to get away for a few days. I stopped at a fast food joint in Heber for dinner for Easton and I (Parker drove separate), and early Sunday morning, I woke up with violent stomach problems! It has been YEARS since I have thrown up, but apparently my streak is over. Easton also had symptoms of food poisoning. It was miserable. But, luckily, it got out of our system quickly and we were fine today. I went shopping at the outlets with my mom and sister and we found some CUTE things at Motherhood for Laura (she is 5 months pregnant). It is quite fun maternity shopping when I don't have to try the clothes on and I don't have to pay for the clothes!
So, while us ladies were shopping, my dad took Easton and Laura's boys to the park and he called while we were out and asked me when we were going to be done. I asked him how the boys were and he said, "They were having a lot of fun, but then the Mexican kids came." What he meant by that was, the Boys and Girls Club meets at a building in the park and the majority of the members are of Latin descent and they were quite a bit older than our boys, so they weren't playing well. The way he said it--I had to give the phone to my mom, I was laughing to hard!!

Max and Keagan

This is Keagan's cousin Max--who LOVES her! He loves to kiss her and sometimes tackle her. She takes it good most of the time--she is used to Easton doing it!

Smile!

Some fun pictures from this week.

Keagan and Easton in Easton's crib

Keagan--now that she can roll over, she won't stay on her back! Which is good, unless she has just eaten! (pressure on tummy, food comes up . . .)
Keagan and Easton--I interrupted Easton during Nemo to take the picture--hence the face!
Naked pictures!
Look how high Keagan is lifting herself!! Go Keagie!

Sand Dunes

Last Saturday, my sister, Laura and her family were down at the Sand Dunes and they invited whoever wanted to drive the hour and a half to join them. My mom, sister Ashley, me and the kids went down. When we got there, the wind was blowing so hard, we had to stay in Laura's trailer! We were hoping the wind would die down so we could go 4wheeling, but alas, we sat there for a couple of hours and packed up and headed home. Ashley and my nephews went on the 4wheelers for a little while, but they came back with so much sand in their hair and eyes, I didn't want to brave it! We got some fun pictures though!

What?

So, the 2nd Counselor in our ward called a few weeks ago and wanted to meet with Parker and I. We were figuring it was a calling or something, because the Bishopric had just come to meet us a couple of weeks prior to that. So, we go and meet with the 2nd Counselor and last Sunday Parker and I were sustained as Webelos leaders. Now, when we were first asked if we would accept this calling, my first thought was, "What the heck is a Webelo?" --I didn't voice that aloud-- (A ten year old scout) Growing up in a family of all girls, I have had NO prior experience to scouting and frankly, don't enjoy the whole nature thing (I like to sleep in a BED)--but I am going to give it my all. Parker isn't exactly the most "scouty" person I know, but we know the calling came from prayer, so we are going in with (mostly) good feelings. Hopefully we won't ruin these poor little boys scouting experience with our lack of knowledge!! Wish us luck!

Hot Stuff!

Easton got these in a kids meal and he thinks he is so cool! He loves putting them on and looking at himself in the mirror! They are surprisingly durable too--he bends them every way possible and they have stayed together!

Feeding the ducks down at GG's. Easton was having SO much fun! I think the ducks gained a few pounds from Easton's contribution to them.

Parker and Keagan

So sweet!
Excuse the drool on Parker's shirt! (It is Keagan's, not Parker's!)

Spiritual upliftment

Conference was wonderful! Even with Easton climbing all over me, Keagan babbling, and Parker listening intently (snoring) it was wonderful. We are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives and to be able to hear the Prophet and the Apostles speak. We are also spoiled to be able to watch conference on TV, in our pajamas, while eating breakfast! I loved sustaining the Prophet (I did it everytime because I didn't know what they were doing) and I felt so blessed to be able to do so!
