B-ball Blast

It's been a fun and busy week with family visiting. Then to top it off, I played in a regional basketball tournament with my stake. I love basketball and have loved playing with them all season. The tournament was all day Saturday. Our first game was that morning at 10:30 but the other team forfeited. Then we played at 1:30 and won. Our next game was at 2:30 and we won which put us in the finals right after. We were so burned out and lost in the last few minutes of the final game. We played hard though and it was fun. It's hard playing 3 games back to back. I'm excited to play with them all again next year!

Discovery Gateway

Nothing like a free day at Discovery Gateway with family! My kids had a blast with their cousins and Aunts and Uncle at the museum.

Lynnlee's cheesers are killer!

The adults day at the museum. :)

Hollywood Connection

We love the pass of all passes. Sometimes the venues are crowded or falling apart but when you find a good one it is totally worth it. We went to Hollywood Connection and my kids loved it. All of the rides worked, there were no crowds and they even tried out roller skating. James and Lynnlee are so goofy when it comes to mini golf. They don't want to putt it. Lynnlee kicks it to the hole and James rolls it and drives the ball like its a car.

Bike

I loved the weather this week! We went on a bike ride for family night. Good thing James can ride a bike now because there is no room in the trailer for him.

Planking

Kaden is going to be a climber. Within a few minutes he went from laying down to sitting up to standing up next to the box to climbing on it...all by himself! James and Lynnlee are not climbers. They still have a hard time getting on my bed.

Standing Tall

Kaden is 8 months old (tomorrow to be exact). It is funny how different each of my kids are. He can't get enough standing. He never wants to bend. Lynnlee wouldn't stand or bear any weight until 9 months. James liked to stand at 8 months but he knew how to crawl so he was more entertained by that. For now Kaden just rolls across the room to get places. James and Lynnlee love it. Sometimes they lay down next to him and roll by him. Before I know it he'll be running around the house with James and Lynnlee.

Fabulous Fondue

Fondue night at my Aunt Pat's never disappoints. The company is great and the food is delicious. It was so fun to catch up with everyone and fun to have my Aunt Wendy and her daughter Molly join us. They live in Texas but were in town to see my grandma.

I was in charge of the dessert course which was a chocolate fountain. We had left overs so we had it for dessert tonight with my kids. There wasn't enough chocolate to run the fountain but we put it in a mini fondue pot. They loved it.

We were sugared out after all the chocolate covered treats. Thank goodness for warm weather this weekend. We were able to go on a Sunday walk. It was so nice to get out and my kids were happy too.

Safety First

We went to the Safe Kids Expo on Saturday. The funny thing is that day was anything but safe. First off we were laughing when we drove in to the parking lot because the Gun show was taking place next to the Safe Kids Expo. Then the parking lot was full of crazy drivers finding parking spots that Marshall was amazed he made it in the building alive after parking the car. I cut my hand at one of the exhibits and wondered how many other kids would cut themselves at the Safe Kids Expo.

On a positive side my kids had a great time and James told me in these exact words, "Thanks Mom this is the funnest place ever!" Guess we never have to take him to Disneyland.

I thought my kids knew enough about safety in parking lots, around busy streets, etc. I found out differently that afternoon when Lynnlee ran around the car which was parked on Lehi's Main Street. Thankfully the car driving by saw her and stopped. Then James took off running through Hobby Lobby parking lot. They never act that way on any other day. Turns out the day we went to the Safe Kids Fair was one of the unsafest for my family. Ha! Glad that day is over!
