Bug Eyed

Sydney loves swimming and is signed up for swimming lessons this summer in Provo. The other day we found these goggles and told her that they would help her see under water while she was at her lessons. Ever since then, I have been asked SEVERAL times a day if we can go out to the pool and swim. If we are ever outside and she thinks about it, she asks if she can go "dus put a foot in". On Saturday it was fairly warm so we decided to venture on out to the pool. What a mistake. It was FREEZING!! Sydney still wanted to get in and have someone(lucky me) help her. We couldn't seem to keep Macey in the pool though. She kept climbing out. Smart girl that one.



Here is Sydney flexing her muscles for her daddy. I don't really know what Macey is doing. She has to taste everything. Even the weeds growing out of the cracks, or maybe she was just thirsty. Who knows with that girl.

Crack the Egg!

Two in one night! Whew!! Keep your socks on everyone. I finally got our computer working(well, Weston had to help) and now I can happily (and easily) post away.

We had a neighbor that used to live by us and he owned this trampoline. He up and left one day and never returned so, our apartment manager kept his stuff for a few months and then sold us his trampoline for $20. The kids have all loved having it around. Weston taught them how to play crack the egg and as you can see, it is one of their favorite things to play. I know that the pictures are blurry, but you can still see how much fun they are having.

Gavin and Macey always wait so patiently, but eventually they do get their turn and seem to enjoy it just as much as the older kids.

Gavin gets so sad when he has to get off for the big kids, that we have to distract him with something. The wagon usually works pretty good.

What Have We Done?

Our poor little Macey. She has had thrush several times in the last few months and so we have been using the gentian violet stain to treat it. Those of you who have used it know that it stains everything that it comes in contact with a very nice shade of...well, violet. I think that we may have over done it. I don't know if you can see it very well in the picture, but she has two crescent shaped spots on her two front teeth that never really formed any enamel.They seem to have picked up the stain and are now a nice shade of violet. I hope that it isn't permanent. I have tried to scrub it with a toothbrush, but to no avail, they remain purple. I am going to take her into the office and see if I can get it out with a little pumice and a polishing wheel. Here's to hoping.

Finally!!

Okay, so I have been reading every ones blogs lately and realized that I am the only one who has not posted anything in awhile. I guess I just need to get in the swing of things. I have loved reading everyones. We had a good Easter ... interesting morning but good. The girls were thrilled with their Easter baskets.Probably a bit much for Easter but oh well. Macey quickly realized what chocolate was and I think that is where the problem started. She bit into more than a few mini candy bars. Our morning really got interesting when we were just about ready to run out the door for church and Sydney came running in to the room saying that Macey was eating a jelly bean. I went into the livingroom and low and behold it wasn't a jelly bean, but a BLUE robin egg. There went the matching Easter dresses! Lucky for me I had just gotten a bunch of the 12 mth clothes out and washed so she had something else to wear. Macey's mouth and hands were dyed blue for church. I got just a couple of comments. I was so frazzled, that I forgot to get pictures of us all in our Easter clothes. Oh well, there is always next year.
