Our Week in a Nut Shell!

WOW! So much has happened and I have had no time to post. So here's a 'brief' clip of our past week...

Sunday 13: Happy Birthday Reid! Reid turned 3 and i can't believe it! My little boy may be small in stature but not in mind and heart. He is such a smart and imaginative boy with so much love.



Monday 14: My Mom and Cassidy, Jace and Alexis arrived. We had fun with a late night of playing. They surprised us with Great Grandma Gentry!

Tuesday 15: Happy Birthday Celeste! Too bad you were in Equador and we couldn't call you! Hope you had a great time.
We also had Reid's birthday party on this day. Reid wanted a pirate party and we had a blast! We made telescopes, threw treasure in the treasure chest, opened presents, had cake and icecream, hunted for the ticking crocodile and went on a treasure hunt! It was loud and crazy, just the way we like it.
Sara, Cassidy and Bentley decorating telescopes. (They dressed up as princesses, the pirates prisoners)



Cameron and Prescott throwing 'treasure'.





Ethan was a great helper! And Surprisingly most of the kids stayed sitting and didn't try to help!



Listening for the ticking crocodile!



The loot after the treasure hunt!



The group (most of them). They all sang Happy Birthday to Reid again and he loved it (thus the cheesy grin!) Emily, I want/need that recording of Reid blowing out the candles (and any other pix you have). Thanx

(Oh and we turned in our taxes today! we have NEVER been this late)


Wednesday 16: Happy Birthday Josh! I know I promised this a couple days ago, but hey..better late than never! Good luck on your new job!



Today was Jed's last day of work! No more RC Willey! It's scary but the right thing!
The boys and I slept with grandma and the cousins at Aunt Rachel's house...thanx for letting them stay!

Thursday 17: This morning we were going to go to the Bean Museum with Cassidy and Jace and Grandma, but their car wouldn't start and that was the last straw for my mom! Ever since she started on this trip (from mesquite to orem) there has been a couple things that have happened. The first thing was their car wouldn't start. They got that fixed and after 3 stops before St. George (it only takes 30 min to get there), the picked up great grandma gentry and finally made it to orem (only a couple hours behind schedule). A couple days later, the baby alexis broke out in a rash all over her arms and legs and Jace had an infection on his heel (lots of puss where his skin was punctured and red lines were going up his foot). Mom took them to InstaCare and was given medicine for both (luckily alexis was just an allergic reaction, to what though we don't know). So mom had decided to leave Thursday afternoon. Anyway, to make a long story a bit longer, we ended up going to Chuck E Cheeses, the kids had a blast, went back, loaded up the car and they took off. Whew!





Friday 18: This day was full of cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning. Since the past couple of days we played, the house needed it greatly!

Saturday 19: Today was filled with cleaning, errands, cleaning, laundry, packing and finally blogging!

Sunday 20: (I know we're not there yet, but i'm letting you in on our plans!)
This day will be filled with more cleaing, laundry and packing. Church of course! The sometime in the evening (or night), Grandma, Grandpa Burton and Sam will arrive because...

Monday 21: WE LEAVE FOR COZUMEL AND TEXAS!!!!!! The boys are gong to Cozumel for a first and last (for awhile) trip before Sam goes on his mission this year. Us girls got jealous and planned a little trip of our own. Unfortunately Kat won't be able to make it :( and Ane and Alta :(. But we'll be thinking of you!
I am sooo excited to take the boys on the plane and to be in Austin. Reid keeps talking about it! (The plane)

I did have fun with everyone, even the children. I just didn't like everything else that was thrown at me, but I did get through it. Mom
