Five Fry's: June 2013

Caught Up

Can I just say that last week was h_ll? My kids got 2 baths, bathrooms didn't get cleaned, floors didn't get mopped and rarely got swept, my dishes got done 1 1/2 times, bedding didn't get changed, we got dressed by sorting through mass piles of clean (at least they were clean) clothes on the couch and my kids didn't get a lot of mommy time, but the things that had to be done, got done and now I'm catching up on the rest. I'm so glad that week is over.

My manuals are updated for our Medicare inspection, my Infection Control In-service was a hit, Cody and I's talks went well on Sunday, the bank now has proof that our van is indeed insured like it has been since we bought it, the wedding gift is in the mail, both birthday parties were fun, the kids and the new sitter both survived, I got the Teton Dam marathon pictures sent to the rest of the team, the food for Relief Society was super delicious, the fundraiser made lots of money and we even had time to squeeze in a visit to the cousins who were here visiting from Boise!

I'm about caught up on everything now, almost a week later, including my blog. I called the girl in charge of book club and basically dropped out. Even though I really want to do it I just don't have time for it and what time I do have I would rather spend with my kids. T-ball ends next week too which gives us even more time to play together and get back into our normal daily routines at least until July hits, July is always busy, but in a fun way!!

Lots of new posts so keep reading!

Fishing with Daddy

Cody took Gavin fishing with him to try out his new stuff he got for Father's Day. They went to Ryder Park just outside Idaho Falls.

Gavin was so excited to show me that fish when they got home that I thought for a minute he was the one that caught it, but it was actually Cody.

Cody said that after he caught it they had it hooked to the chain and a seagull snatched it out of the water and took off with it, that is until the slack ran out of the chain!! I would've loved to see that I'm sure it was hilarious.

Cody teaching Gavin how to gut a fish on my front lawn, double gross!

Gavin was kind of grossed out by it too

Fish for dinner!

Everyday Life

Here is some randomness of everyday life:

Chloe playing in the tent in the back yard

Consumed by technology

Gavin after a bike crash earlier that day

1 bath, 5 band-aids, lots of neosporin and countless hugs and kisses later there is a smile on his face

My brown eyed Masonater

Chloe

Cody trying on my cousin Garet's motorcycle helmet

Gavin took a break from riding his scooter to play with some ants

Gavin riding his bike

How Chloe woke up from her nap. Good news is she is getting plenty to drink.

Gavin reading a book at grandma's. This kid loves to read and will read anything and everything he sees

Chloe is sleeping in her "big grwill (girl) bed" all the time now

Chloe skinned her knees up on the side walk and this is how daddy combs here hair after her baths, Val Kilmer style, super slicked back

Gavin makes his own sandwiches now. Chocolate (nutella) are his favorite

This is Chloe and her husband-to-be Jackson. They are so cute together and his mom said he won't share his food with anyone except Chloe. Now that's true love.

Every time Adlina sets her chair up Mason sits in it before she can. He's always loving on Adlina, it's so cute. She calls him "boyfriend" and he gets all shy.

T-Ball is almost over, only two more weeks

Gavin running "lightening speed" as he calls it

My sister in law was sick and my brother had to work so I watched their kids for them. I had 5 kids at my house ages 6, 3, 2 and two almost 2 year old's. It was crazy but fun.

I took them all to Blast Off to play. We were there 10 minutes when the Code Browns began.I changed 3 poopy diapers in a row!! Pretty sure that's a record for me!

Gavin showing off

Brigham

Chloe, Bailee and Brigham

And here are a bunch of Chloe just because she has been cute lately and I can't get enough of her!!

CHLOE OVERLOAD!!

Peek-a-boo

I see you!

Chloe almost always eats her vegetables first and then the rest of her dinner

The End!!

Scout Camp

On Tuesday I went to Scout Camp for the first time ever. I'm one of the leaders of the Wolf Den which is 8 year old boys in Cub Scouts. The boys were so excited about everything we did and it was hard not to get excited with them. It was really hot and despite the heat we still have fun. We made them drink before and after every station so by the end of the day, the boys were taking potty breaks all the time!

I took a before and after picture of the boys which is hilarious (not posting it because I haven't asked parents if I can). Here are a few from my phone that don't show faces.

Yes, those are chickens! Krupp Scout Hollow is out in the country so they must have been the neighbors.

It was a hot day so when we got home we headed to the back yard. I was sitting by the pool with my feet in it, but the kids were splashing like crazy so I moved into the shade instead. They still had their clothes on, but I didn't really care. They were having fun and that's all that matters.

Buried Alive!!

We helped Savannah and Eric move on Monday night and the boys found this pile of fun across the street in the playground. Gavin buried Luke and then wanted me to come and take a picture.

Gavin buried Luke

Then I buried both of them

Happy Father's Day

Daddy with his favorite turkeys

Mason, Gavin and Chloe

Silly Face!!

I asked Gavin what daddy's super power would be if he was a super hero and without hesitating he told me, "laser vison!"

Gavin's Obsession

Gavin has a thing for sprinklers of all kinds. When we are driving through the neighborhood he likes to see all the different types that people are using to water their lawns and wants us to buy one of each kind. Cody bought a new sprinkler for us and Gavin has been loving it. I found him outside at 7am playing with the sprinkler the other day, he can't leave it alone!
