It's been a while!

This week has been crazy! With Trey walking ,Tyler home and a new calling it seems like it's going to be a crazy summer. All is good though. About two days after loosing his first front tooth Tyler lost his second! Now he is the TOOTHLESS WONDER!:) Kyle will be next as he showed me yesterday that his bottom tooth is loose! How does a mother slow down this growing up process?! Yesterday was our Primary pool party. The boys had a lot of fun. They swam for two hours straight. On the way home Tyler informed me that he saved Kyle from drowning once. I don't know where I was, but I'm glad Tyler was there. Actually, I know exactly where I was...with Trey!! Trey didn't exactly enjoy the party! This made it a little difficult, but he's just NOT a water guy.

Kory swam for about an hour and then enjoyed snacks for the rest of the time. He was so funny. When it was time to go and I was trying to get kids out of the pool Kory was following right behind screaming with me, "It's time to get out of the pool!" It's more than funny hearing him tell the story! He says, "Mom when we were telling kids to get out of the pool no one would listen. That's bad huh."

After the party we came home and went to see WALL-E. Not our favorite PIXAR film, but it was cute. I'm glad we saw it, but personally watching a bunch of trash and fat people was not as entertaining to me as it should have been. I think Wall-E is cute though, so I'll give him that! There were some funny moments. Kory was SOOO excited to see it and he ended up falling asleep. I think the story line was a little over his head. Poor kid. Bottom line...Wall-E didn't beat out Toy Story or Monsters Inc.

Doctor's visit...

So, the other day I got a letter in the mail saying Kory was due for a shot. I just about died. I made him an appointment on the same day that Trey had his 1yr well baby check and then didn't tell Kory he was going to get a shot because...well, the kid gets a little emotional when he hears the word. Last night at dinner I told Monty, "K-O-R-Y has to get a S-H-O-T tomorrow." Monty then says, "Kory you know you have to get a shot tomorrow!" HELLO--I spelled it for a reason! Anyway, after the tears and screams Monty talked to Kory and got him all ready.(I was actually kind of glad he talked to him about it...it did save me some grief today.) Monty told Kory he could get any toy he wanted if he was brave, so he told Monty what he wanted and I had to laugh! Yeah...little did dad know that the toy he was talking about was a $50 toy!! (Thankfully they didn't have anymore at Target when we went, so he picked another toy that was much more reasonably priced.) So, Kory ended up getting a full physical along side Trey. This proved a challenge because we hadn't prepared him for an anemia poke. So I told him what they were going to do and he reacted in a not so brave way. Shortly after, Trey got his anemia poke--no reaction at all! He was so tough. It totally made me laugh and it shocked Kory! After Kory saw Trey didn't cry--he stopped crying! Thanks Trey! Then Kory had to get his shot. He screamed again! So dramatic! I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I know my boys and I know when they are acting! Kory was totally acting! I think he remembers Kyle's reaction and just figures that's what he is suppose to do...who knows. Trey cried for his 4 shots, but I don't blame him--the nurse did a horrible job! When we lived in Cheyenne those nurses had shots down to a tee! By the time my babies could cry from the first one, they were done with all four! This lady took like 4 minutes! Poor Trey! Glad that visit is over! Oh, Trey is 24lbs, 30inches tall and has a head circumference of 19!:) Kory is 34lbs and 38 inches tall.Kory is proud of his two band aids--in a shy way! He was embarrassed to take this picture, but couldn't wait to see it when I was done.
Our brave Trey!

I don't know why they had to give him each shot in a different appendage, but they did. Poor kid is going to be sore tomorrow!

New Smile!

Kory had enough of Tyler today and decided to sock it to him.
The result...a new smile for Tyler!! It was about time!:) Okay, so that's not how it really happened, but it makes a better story than mom pinning him down and pulling a hanging tooth out of him mouth. Tyler has more self control when it comes to teeth than I can stand. He refuses to play with it, refuses to wiggle it, refuses to eat with it. He just wants it to fall out naturally. Today I couldn't take it anymore and pulled it out in about 5 seconds. Funny boy!

Summer has officially begun!

Tyler had his last day of school on Friday! His report card was awesome and he will indeed be moving on to 2nd grade come August! We are proud of the good job he did. Today he told me, "Mom, I miss school." So funny. He's been out of a whole um...16 hours!

Kory said something funny today. He told me that he wasn't feel good and then he said, "Mom, you are suppose to say 'Sorry you aren't feeling good'." I said what he wanted me to say and then he said, "It's okay...my heart is still beating." I should hope so!!

Kyle had kind of a ruff day. He just kept crying and crying over every little thing. I couldn't figure out what was wrong until at about 4:30 I found him asleep on my bed. He slept until 8:00 when I woke him up to eat something and then went back to bed. Poor kid has my reaction to being tired...cry! I'm glad he was able to get some rest!

Trey has us on our toes these days. He is walking faster and faster! He LOVES to be chased and loves feeling big. He's so much fun.

Tomorrow is Father's Day and I must wish Monty a Happy Father's Day. He is a wonderful Father and our boys just adore him. Thanks so much for all you do for us. We are so lucky to have you. We love you DAD!!

He walks

I just realize I never mentioned on here that Trey is walking! I wanted to try and get a video and then I forgot. About two days after his birthday he took a step and now he is walking all over. It's his main form of transportation...unless he wants to be carried and if that is the case he drops to his knees and then to puts his head on the ground and pouts. He loves walking and we all enjoy watching him walk. Good job Trey! Next battle--figuring out the stairs!

Hey...I think I got a video on here! Excuse the bad quality...it's from my phone. Way easier to figure that out than my actual video camera!:)

Water Park

I have to hand it to Paso...it may not have much, but it does have a small water park(three big rides, a lazy river, wave maker and kid zone) that we hit up yesterday afternoon for the first time. When we told the boys we were going to try it out Kory cried because he didn't want to wear a life jacket(bad experience from raging waters), Tyler wasn't really thrilled, but KYLE....Kyle was gung ho! He was ready and man did he love it! Actually all the boys loved it...okay so Trey didn't, but he enjoyed the lazy river! The boys and me after we just arrived! Kory is still not sure about it.
Trey walking on the sidelines! He was content in the water just so long as no one came near him or splashed him. Any sign of water above his knees and he was crying with his thumb in his mouth for comfort!
Kyle living it up!! Go Kyle!
The Perfect picture spot of 4 handsome guys! Trey is waving, but not interested in getting his picture taken!
Kyle helping Kory to have a great time! After only a short while Kory was loving the slides! This is going to be nice this summer! This kid zone is just perfect for the boys! Thanks Dad for the fun afternoon!

Anniversary!

Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary! 8 down, and an eternity to go!:)
It was a pretty normal day. I took Tyler back to the dentist to get his tooth checked. Ever since he's had it filled a few weeks ago he's been complaining that it hurts. I didn't take him too seriously because his pain tolerance is like-zero!and he complains a lot about small things. However, after several days I decided to take him in. Turns out when the drilled the first time they exposed the nerve and so he's been in some pain. Poor guy! They were able to fix it today and after regaining feeling he told me he feels so much better!! Another lesson learned for me. Even if he can't handle pain...sometimes he may really be in some!!
As far as celebrating our anniversary--Monty had to work tonight and I had a primary presidency meeting, but we meet up for a quick ice cream bar at the Target food court. Yeah...doesn't get more romantic than that! The boys had Indiana Jones Snickers Ice Cream bars and Monty and I had Dove Ice Cream Bars--okay, and Trey had like half of mine! It was actually really fun. I love you Monty! Thanks for a fun 8 years!

Funny Boys!

Sometimes I must admit my days seem to just recycle themselves. However, often there is a moment that makes me laugh and today was no exception! Today Kory was walking around the house with the Woody binoculars. I didn't think anything of it, but then he said, "Mom I look like WALL-E." He said it in the little robot voice like the character in the new upcoming Pixar movie. What was so funny was that he did!!:) As promised here is the Lego story! For about a week now the boys have been begging me to buy them the Lego Indiana Jones set. Well, if only life were that easy! So, we went on the Internet and looked up how much it cost and then I told them to go look in their piggy banks and count how much they had and we'd see how much they needed to earn. So, they actually had $42...$30 being from Tyler's birthday and $12 in coins. So, I told them they needed to earn another $5 to get what they wanted. It took them a few days and several tears, but finally they did enough around the house I thought they'd earned the $5--maybe I was a little easy on them, but they still worked. First we went and got all the coins changed into dollar bills so we didn't look like fools going into Target to buy their toy, and then we went to Target and they picked it out. They ended up picking one that was only $35 so they got money back! Kyle, Tyler and Kory have had so much fun with this lego set! They are always making scenes and cracking up at the people they hang upside down. I'm glad they got the experience of buying their own toy. Kyle keeps saying,"I can't wait for Tyler to loose another tooth so we can get more money to put in our piggy bank." No offers to do chores as of yet!:)
Speaking of shopping...this is my new purchase! I've been wanting a tankini for a long time because it just seems so much more convinient than a one piece, but still modest. Anyway, for our anniversary/birthday present this year Monty and I are going to Cancun, so I thought this would be the perfect time to look for a suit. I found one at Kohl's. It's pretty cute! Not cute enough to get a picture of it ON me...but cute enought to take a picture of!:)

Quick Trip South

First off, Friday was mine and Monty's birthday. At 10:58 pacific time I made my yearly call to my brother! I always rag on him for being young and he rags on me for being old for three whole minutes! It's a fun tradition. I have an awesome twin brother!
Our celebration consisted of pretty much the normal daily routine, but we were able to go out to dinner to celebrate! Kory was on one that night, but we tried to make the best of it anyway. To ease my frustration I just ordered a Pike's Peek Chocolate Cake! It seemed to do the trick! I spent the afternoon with the younger boys making cards for Monty. Monty is now 32 and I'm 29!

Saturday after Monty got off work we drove down south for a QUICK visit. Today was Emjae's baby blessing. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long, but we knew we wanted to be there no matter what. She looked so beautiful in her little dress made by Monty's mother. I can't believe I forgot my camera! But the good news is that I remembered all the boys! James gave her a beautiful blessing. We were happy to make it. We got home at 4:50 and Monty had to be to work at 5:00, so just in time! The boys were happy to get home to their Lego's! I'll post about those tomorrow--it's a cute story!
