I saw this quiz on my sister-in laws blog so I tried it. Let me know if your agree.

Here's what the results say: You're as popular and relaxing as vanilla ice cream. You go with the flow, and get along with all sorts of people. You appreciate peace and simplicity, so you sometimes find crowds and loud noises overwhelming. You are a chilled-out, calming influence on the people in your life, and your friends appreciate how supportive and flexible you are.
Let me know what flavor you are.

I love this park

A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Heritage Park. We had so much fun. My mom took me and my siblings there all the time when I was a kid.I hadn't been there with my kids in quite a few years. Watching the kids chase each other through the buildings and down the slides brought back such great memories. I do have to say, it's a lot better now then it was then. Here are some pics from our day:

Finally a new post

It's time to catch up a little bit. We have been living at Drew's parents house while they are serving a mission for the summer at Martins Cove.Tomorrow will mark one month of living there and we will go back to our house sometime during the beginning of September. Postings had been put on hold because all of my pictures have been on my computer at home. I'll try to catch up over the next couple of days. Here's a start.
The kids went to the Morrisons this past weekend and Peyton joined them for the first time. From what I hear things went well although Peyton wouldn't leave Rylees side for long.Here they are leaving. Peyton was all smiles till she realized I wasn't getting in the car too. She recovered quickly.

Saturday Drew had the opportunity to baptize Nekeela. Drew is her grandmas hometeacher and Nekeela had been coming to church with her. She was so excited to see him on Sunday at church and asked if she could sit with him during sacrament. I think he has a new friend.

My sister Tami had her baby shower Saturday morning.

The brownies Tara and I stayed up making Friday night. I love how they turned out!

She recieved cute gifts

It's about time for some street wiffleball

This has been the big backyard activity this past week.
Pitching, hitting and being the umpire.

Did you notice the bike helmet being used as the umpire mask? Camryn can probably only see half the pitches but apparently safety comes first for her.

After watching this for a couple days and many balls being hit to neighbors backyard(one by me),I figured it was time to go old school and play some wiffleball in the street.
Living right next to a high school, the kids rarely play in the street. This was a huge treat for them. We made bases in the street. We used the rules I grew up with(modified where needed). You get 5 pitches only( hit one or you're out), fly ball to neighbors grass across the street is an automatic out, ball rolls under car runner advances only one base, and you can peg out (throw the ball at)anyone 15 or over. Most important, if the other team has been up a really long time with only 1 out and Drew hits the ball on the neighbors porch across the street, it is an automatic 2 outs and 1 more when they are up next.
We played for well over 2 hours and had a great time. A few of us were a little sore the next morning.

The Awesome Teams


And of course, the game ended in a tie.

Look Who's Two!

May 21,2008

I can't believe Peyton's two already. Time is flying by with this last one. She must have known she turned two this morning because she started out the morning CRANKY. She perked up during the late morning when Sammy came over and all the kids went out looking for rollie pollies (sp?). Then two tantrums, happy, tantrum, a walk, tantrum, dinner, ice-cream and bed.

I think she introduced herself and us to the Two's perfectly. Drew had a few phone calls from me while he was at work, so he could listen in on the fits going on while I just laughed and gave him a play by play.

For all the whoopla that happend today I do have to say that 95% of the time she is just a lot of fun. She is a danger girl and takes great pleasure in making me worry. Examples; standing on the back of the couch and tipping from side to side, climbing up the slide, swinging from the top of the slide, climbing on top of the counters and so on while calling my name to make sure I am watching her.

She talks very well, counts to twelve, spells her name, loves having family prayer each night, just started saying her own prayers, is really coordinated(sp?), knows which sibling to go to for the best chance to get what she wants, loves to have her picture taken as long as it's not at a studio, is constantly calling people on moms cell phone, gets excited when she gets a new pair of shoes, loves the water and walks over to Aunt Meems (Amy-Sue)if she wants a hershey kiss.
