Happy 6th Birthday Kaitlyn!

I feel so old! I have a 6 year old! Kaitlyn wanted a birthday party this year and so we let her invite some friends! She had a butterfly/bug party and it turned our really cute. She has also begged and begged for a pinata! They had so much fun with it. I the middle of the party Shaylee threw up (ofcourse it can not be uneventful, not that 10, 6 year olds weren't enough :) )! So I ran in the bathroom to clean her up and decided to throw in some rolls of toilet paper so they could wrap each other up like cocoons. They loved it and I now have a huge bag of T.P. to use! Kaitlyn had such a wonderful birthday, and was spoiled rotten! Thanks to all of our family and friends that came to celebrate with us! We love you Kaitlyn!

Shaylee's Finger :(

We were at the grocery store doing so major shopping and we had come out to the car. Shaylee opened her car door and pinched her finger between her door and the SUV next to us. It made a huge blood blister and it blew out the top of her finger and she started to bleed everywhere. At the same time I was taking Jake out of the shopping cart and he had wet through his clothes (I ofcourse did not have his diaper bag or spare clothes), and Kaitlyn is screaming at the top of her lungs "She is going to die, Mom, Shaylee is dying!" Oh, and there was a full grocery cart and none of the kids were hooked in! So yah, I took a deep breath, stuck Jake in the car, wrapped Shaylee's finger up with something, told Kaitlyn to calm down and get in the car, and found a way sweet girl to help me unload my groceries. We were then off to the hospital for stitches. Mind you that the whole way Kaitlyn is crying and screaming that Shaylee's going to die which really calmed Shaylee down. I tried to call Kirt so he could meet me because I wasn't excited to juggle my 3 children who where having their own personal disasters, on my own. So Kirt met me, took Jake home and changed him, and came back to help hold Shaylee down during her stitches. It was one dramatic day to say the least! Shay's finger is now much better, thank goodness, because I had gone through 2 boxes of bandaides in 1 week.

Kaitlyn's Award!

We are so proud of Kaitlyn. She made this picture of her climbing her favorite tree and turned it in for the reflections contest. The theme was "Wow"... and she titled her picture "Wow, look how high I can climb!" She was in the primary level, which is K-2nd grade, and won out of the the Northern Box Elder County District which included 7 schools! We are so excited for her! Good Job Kaitlyn!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jake!
