Brooklyn and Chloe "aka Rocky"

Brooklyn loves her best friend Chloe, but she prefers to call her Rocky, for some unknown reason.

Rock On!

Shayne spent the day with us while everyone went to Nascar today. I planned on taking them to the movies but they really just wanted to play, so we went to the park. It was nice to have him around, we don't get to see our cousins near as much as we would like to. Nathan and Shayne are only one month apart and they seem to be alot alike. Neither of them care much for shoes or vegetables. They both agree it was tadpoles in the pond whereas Jacee argues they were fish. They both turned into pilots when on top of the boulders and knew some fighter pilot lingo that I was impressed with and wondered where they picked it up. They both seem to like getting dirty and turning the little car shopping cart in the grocery store into a race car. When I bumped into Brooklyn, Shayne yelled "Oh man we hit a deer." They both are about the same height and it has been determined that they both have the same size muscles. Rock on Boys!

Do you see this teeny tiny little Girl?

How about this huge sloping mountain?
Well Brookie's big mean daddy sent her down this big looming mountain all alone. Can you see the top of her little head peeking out of the inner tube? Marco said they would not let you ride double and I said well there is no way she is going down alone and he acted like I was crazy. Am I crazy? Cause I really did not like the idea of my baby tumbling down a mountain uncontrollably all by her little self. Well, while I was up taking a turn Marco snuck her up the mountain. I really didn't think she would get hurt but I thought it might really scare her. I just waited to hear her little scream and when she got to the bottom she was covering her eyes with her little gloved hands. But she was fine. Good thing or her father would have been hurting. The picture actually makes me crack up now. The picture below shows everyone running to her side and that scared her more than the trip down the hill. Nathan was very worried. The babies did go down much slower.

I personally was really scared to go down, I mean I was shaking when I got to the top. Right next to me going down was a 4 year old and I thought "I have really got to toughen up" But I did it! It was really fun too, even though I dug my boots in the ground the whole way down to slow me down. My fear quickly turned to anger when I seen Marco in one tube being pulled up the hill with Brooklyn in her own tube headed up. OK, I will get over it now. Maybe my kids will turn out all right with 1 paranoid parent and 1 crazy man. Just hope they end up somewhere in the middle.

Jacee did do a little pouting today. I hope this is just a phase that pre-teens go through. I couldn't get too mad at him, the little whipper snapper came home with a perfect report card. He is a genius in my eyes; albeit a moody genius.

No reason for the pictures, I just thought he looked ecspecially cute today.

SuNsHiNe DaY!

Golden Spoon

Does anyone remember eating frozen yogurt at the golden spoon when you were younger? Maybe alot of them are still around but I hadn't seen one for years until I heard about this one opening here in St. George. It has been the nicest day so I took the kids out for "Ice Cream."
