This is what Crew does all day till his brothers get home.
Right after we get home from dropping off the boys at school he will ask me "what time is Cars home?" 
I tell him 11:30 and then he will play by himself till he gets home.
Then he will ask me "what time is Tann home?"
and I tell him.
Then the next question...."what time is Daddylito home?"

He is happiest when all the boys are home.

And so am I!

I think I jinxed myself!
I talk all the time about how Greyson sleeps all through the night.
Well recently he has decided that he wanted to wake up at the crack of dawn.
Really?
Why now?
I think it is me.
I jinxed myself.
Aghhh!!!!
I just really want to sleep all the way till my alarm goes off at 5:45am.
Is that too much to ask? 


But I think he is teething.
I don't see or feel anything.
But he is drooling all over the place.
His shirt is always wet.
And he constantly has something in his mouth.

He will only play under his little toy for just a little while.
Then he flips over to his belly.
After a few minutes of that he is screaming and wants up.
So I hold him. 
This is not good.
He always wants to be in my arms.
This is not good when I need to get my work done.
He is starting to grab all my papers, pen, keyboard and anything else he can get his hands on.
It is really hard to type with one hand.

I guess this is just his stage that he is going thru right now.
I have to tell myself that he will outgrow this.

I just want him to go back to sleeping all night!
Is that too much to ask?

I had the van all packed and ready to go right when Tanner got home from school on Friday. 
We went to visit our friends in Dammeron Valley. (right outside of St. George)
Just me and the boys. Brian was on call so he couldn't come.

I stayed up way to late that night chatting with April.
I paid for it the next day. 
It was ok though.  I haven't seen her in a long time.

The kids just ran around and entertained themselves.
They played really well with eachother.
Tanner & Wyatt were busy building a tree house. 

We were really surprised when they finally came to get us to look at it. 

They did a good job.  We just were not sure about how sturdy it was. 

The sheep kept getting out so that was the main reason they built the tree house. 

They wanted to spy on the goat to see how it was escaping! 

It was a really quick trip.  We left Sunday morning to come home.
We wanted to spend some time with Brian for Father's Day.
I think Greyson was the happiest to be home. He was so excited. It was cute.

The boys gave Brian all of their cards and presents they made at school.
Carson made him a coupon book.
Tanner's card made me smile. It  said:
My Dad Rocks!
My Dad is as strong as a rock.
My Dad is as brave as a knight.
My Dad is as smart as a scientist.
My Dad is as nice as a pillow.
My Dad Rocks!
I love you Dad.
Happy Father's Day!
Love,
Tanner

Why?

Why does this baby need to wake up at 5:30?  It always happens on the days that I don't go to the gym.  My alarm doesn't even go off at that time.  I don't understand!!

Why do the parents not know how the drop off system works at the school?  Don't they know that they need to pull over to the curb to let their kids out so they don't hold up the rest of traffic?  I just want to honk at them all and tell them that they are doing it wrong.  I mean it is almost the end of the year.  You would think that it would be more smooth. But no!

Why doesn't anyone blog anymore these days?  I don't understand what is so great about facebook??

Why does Greyson have to weigh so much?  He is killing my back!

Why can't I have a money tree?  I promise I would take really good care of it!

Why doesn't my printer work now? 

Why can't school just be out?  I am ready to be done with our school schedule.  We need some time to chill!

These two boys make me smile everyday!

On Saturday we decided to surprise the boys. 
We watch this show on the History channel called Pawn Stars. 
It is filmed here in Vegas at a pawn shop on Las Vegas Blvd. 
Well the boys are always asking if we can go.  
We kept it a secret. 
They wanted to know so bad where we were going.
They all took their guesses.
This is was us on the drive there.

Brian & I had fun messing with them.
It went kinda like this:
A: How long do you think it will take for us to get there?
B:  I don't know.  It depends on how much snow there is.


B:  Did you pack enough food and water?
A: Yeah I think so.

B:  No really....we are dropping you guys off with a babysitter and me & mom are going to go out and ride the 4 wheeler. 

Tanner would just laugh at us and say "you guys are lying!"
Then we would just laugh.

They never guessed.  So we ended up telling them. 
They thought it was cool.
It was a small shop and kinda crowded.
The boys recognized some things for sell that were on episodes that we watched.
It was fun!

Since the last post

* went shopping for a birthday gift for the little girl next door. (We have known these neighbors since before Tanner was born.) Why do I always have such a hard time picking out gifts for girls? Well as we were walking up and down the girl aisles and not finding anything. Tanner said "why do girls like this stuff?" I just had to smile and I said "I dunno."

* I got really sick last Friday thru Sunday. I was put on an antibiotic. I had a really bad sore throat. I mean really bad. I would show everyone that would look at the back of my throat with a flashlight. I even tried to take a picture on my cell phone. No one could believe it. Then on top of it I had a fever, chills and body aches. Thanks to my mom and Brian who helped me so much.

* Then to top it off I have had computer problems all week. I think that for me is worse then car problems. So annoying. Still not fixed. But hopefully soon. Thanks to my mom's laptop so I can get my work done. It has for sure saved me.

* Found out that our grass is going to cost more then we were quoted. A lot more! I am kinda sick about it. Only because i so ready for that to be done. Well now we start saving.

* Check this out if you haven't already seen it. I love that Heather brings her camera. She is always capturing the best pictures. This sunday was no different then any other sunday. It was a good time. For sure.

*  Tanner lost his 3rd tooth.  It fell out at school.  He went to the nurse and he got a mini treasure box to put it in.  Oh and the tooth fairy forgot the first night.  She came while he was at school the next day.  He got $3.00.

* We had plans to go out of town for the weekend. Just Brian & I. That won't be happening now. Need to save our money! But we have a list of things that need to get done around here plus a surpirse for the boys. Hopefully that will all work out. Will share later.

Memorial Day weekend

We didn't have any big plans for the weekend. 

But we stayed pretty busy.  

This is how it went. 

We worked on the backyard. Well Brian did.  With his big helper Crew.

We are getting closer and closer to being done! WOO HOO!!! 
We had Melissa's boys over and had lots of fun.
Went to the park.
Was wishing we had a pool to jump into.  It was kinda warm.
Had a couple sick boys on Sunday.  Only went to sacrament meeting.
Welcomed a new baby to our family.  (Melissa and Tony had their 3rd boy.)  He is so cute.
I already forgot that Greyson was once that little.  It really does go by TOO fast!
We went to visit some friends who are moving out of town.  The kids went swimming.
We said our goodbyes. 
Then we went to a BBQ at Dr. Paul's house.
And went swimming again.

Tanner was brave and kept jumping off.
He was loving the slide too!

And how could i forget?  We ate too! :)
Some of us more then others.
