Fathers Day Fun

So a friend of ours in our ward had a great idea to get a bunch of couples together in the ward and let the guys have some fun for father's day.  We all met up at speed street in Layton and let the guys go to town racing each other all night.  The guys loved it and probably could of stayed there all night.  After each race they would come out and get their score sheets and discuss with each other the stats and some were discussing how to do it better the next time.  It was fun to watch them get so into it.  Here are the group of guys from left to right:  Nate, Nelson, Todd, Tyler, Casey, Russ, Aaron and Barry

After their final race we tallied up the scores and gave out prizes.  I am proud to say that Aaron was the fastest over all and he won himself a massager.  It was supposed to be for me to give him a massage but with me being so sick and all :) I got the back massage instead.  It worked out great!

Us girls had fun just being able to sit and chat and watch the guys be little boys:)  It was a fun night and hopefully next father's day we can do it again.  I think it topped all father's days so far.  The guys really enjoyed it.

Logan- Baseball

Logan has been doing great this year in baseball.  He hit his first home run earlier on and has been going strong ever since.  He was determined to get a home run every game from then on, which he almost accomplished.  I think the total home runs was 6.  He is loving the game more and more and is now at that age where he knows what sports he wants to play.  I believe baseball is going to be one of them.  His confidence has grown a ton and I love watching him play and get excited.  Their team was undefeated this year and are alot of fun to watch.

Swimming lessons

This is the kids first session of swimming lessons this summer.  The weather has been a little chilly but as long as their in the warm water they don't mind.  They have done really well and they both can jump off the diving board without the noodles and swim to the side. The last couple of lessons though I've had to get after them.  They think it's just free time in the pool and they try getting on each others backs, which results in one of them almost drowning.  They still think it's funny though.

Logan's 9th birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!
Friday June 10th
The first thing Logan wanted to do when he woke up was open his presents....of course!  He was really excited and hoping to get a rip stik so we started out with the gifts from Wyatt & Kennady and left the big one for last.  This is what he got:  a new DS game (lego battles), a DS case, new nike shoes, and a rip stik.  He was happy with all the gifts but said he loved getting the rip stik.  Not sure why I didn't get a picture of him riding it!  I asked him what he wanted to do during the day and he chose to have a friend over so they could ride rip stiks together.  He rode the thing as much as he could that day.  Later on we decided to go as a family to Kung Fu Panda 2.  The kids had been wanting to see it since it came out so we thought his birthday was the perfect day to go see it.  They loved the show and Logan chose to go eat at subway after.  We then came back to the house and "airplane" grandpa came over with Logan's gift.  He said he was to excited to wait until the family party on Sunday to give it to him.  He gave him a new scope to go on his gun.....not sure if this was more for Logan or Aaron:)  Anyway Logan loves to go shooting with Aaron and asked when they could go soon.  We finished his birthday with his own little birthday cake and birthday song.  I almost forgot...Logan wanted to wear his new shoes that day because he said he would attract all the girlies :)  I thought it was really cute!  He even took them for a test run outside, I guess to see if they made him run faster?

Logan had a friend party the next day and had 11 boys come over.  I was a little nervous how it would go with that many boys but it ended up a success.  They played kickball, soccer, had relay races, shot hoops, ate pizza and popcorn, and ended with water balloon games. The kids had alot of fun and Logan said it was the best birthday because they just got to play whatever games they wanted.

Sunday we celebrated his birthday with the family and had all the cousins over.  This was the third day of celebrating and the last cake to be eaten....yay!  Of all the choices, he chose to have a soccer cake.

more graduation pics

Well I found the missing SD card and here are the rest of the pictures from Kennady's graduation.

Being so sick.......Why?

So with this pregnancy I have been the sickest I have ever been.  My past pregnancies I got the morning sickness and then I would be pretty good the rest of the day but not this time.  I am nauseous all day and I am already sick of throwing up.  I'm not sure if it's because I'm older or what but can I just say this sucks!!!!!!!!!! 
I wonder why us women have to go through all the crap.  We deal with the monthly cycles including cramps, bloating, etc.  We then have to carry a child for 9 months and on top of that have to deal with being sick, getting fat, getting stretch marks, and the list can go on and on.  What do men really have to deal with? 
Until the past few days I have been barely functioning and feel like the worst mother and wife around.  I guess it's harder when you have children already and HAVE to get up and go on with the day.   It's all worth it in the end right:)  That's what I have to keep telling myself to get through each day. I'm hoping this sickness ends here shortly because I am going crazy. 
 

Preschool Graduations

Kennady and Wyatt have graduated preschool...yay!  I can't believe that they will be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  I have always looked forward to when that day would come but now that it's here I'm a little sad to see them growing up so fast.  I can't find the other SD card with the many other pictures from Kennady's graduation....hmmm wonder where it is?  I know one of these days when I deep clean rooms it will come up somewhere.  I asked the kids if anyone took it and knows where it is and of course none of them took it. Umm OK!!!!!!  Anyway these are the only pictures I have before I switched out the SD card.

• Graduation was May 26th at the Farr West City Center
• Teacher:  Miss Kathy (Best teacher ever!) 
• Kennady had 2 parts in the program.  She had to say the nursery rhyme hot cross buns, and then talked about keeping our bodies healthy by eating the right foods and exercising.  She did an awesome job and she didn't even cry this time.  Last year she just stood up on stage and cried so we were really proud of her.
• She came along way this year and is already reading

Wyatt has gone to early intervention the past couple of years and has really enjoyed it.  He has come along way himself and is very excited to go to Logan's school in the fall.  They don't do a class graduation so here he is with his diploma.
