Too much to say...Myles turned 4 and Bailey turned 8. Bailey planned and implemented her own birthday party (which was a hit!) She is getting baptized in two weeks and we are so exited to have my mom and Bert come down along with both sets of my grandparents. I don't know too many kids who get to have all 4 great-grandparents attend their baptism. It will work out well since their grandfathers will be watching from heaven and we need two witnesses.
Myles got a fabulous Thomas the train set for his birthday (which entertains all three kids very well); he has also learned to "moon" his sister. I think those things come naturally to boys. Myles is learning to swim and Landon thinks he knows how already. He walks off the pool steps or jumps in at any time. Landon is crazy at the pool and it makes it difficult to keep him alive but Bailey and Myles are extra-vigilant with him. I don't think they realize that mom is watching every second, too. (of course) Our summer is busy despite my kids being bored out of their minds during Landon's daily 2-hour nap. We're also looking forward to our trip to Utah in July.

Your kids are so beautiful!! I so wish we could come out for Bailey's baptism, I'm so sad we're going to miss it. Love you all, and we can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!

Oh, I can't wait to have your little ones run into my arms, Bec! They are so adorable! I love the bench scene! I hope I get to be the receiver of the "mooning" at your home. You know I won't be able to keep from laughing! I'm laughing already! Love you all! See you next week! Mom

Pink Eye!!!!

I woke up to the lovely sound of my screaming newborn at 1 am this morning and my right eye was burning. Turns out I have pink eye; I have never had it before and neither has Scott or the kids. I cannot believe how painful it is! I remember my greenie, Hermana Pocock had it in Venezuela. The revered cure-all down there is the lemon. Everywhere we went the people would tell her to squeeze a little lemon juice into her eye. Can you imagine how painful that would be? Not to mention what it might do to her eyesight. All I can say is thank goodness for medicated eye drops. It temporarily relieves the pain and I can't wait to be cured from this. 24 hours cannot pass soon enough! Yesterday our lesson was on the Second Coming. Bailey often asks me about when the Savior will come and what it will be like. I cannot wait to see the Savior and see what life will be like then. Aside from the spiritual wonders I also look forward to not being tired or being subject to physical ailments. I sure a...

My First Marathon

Image
The famous North Shore Waikiki Sunset Gorgeous Day at the Beach in Waikiki Many people have asked about the marathon and I cannot do it justice with just a summary. If you want to hear, "It was rough but went well" then feel free to skip the long narration that follows. Hawaii was amazing. I needed the break and truly appreciate the opportunity. I have said in previous posts that I know the Lord guided me to this path and despite the many challenges, I am grateful. The week before the marathon I did an 8 mile run which ended badly with excruciating pain in my left knee down to my ankle and foot. I limped home very worried and decided not to run until the marathon. I went to the chiropractor Wednesday night and she told me I needed to take three weeks off for my leg to recover. I reminded her the marathon was in 4 days. Her face went dead pan and simply said, "Do what you can then." I wanted to advise her to never become a motivational speaker but let it go. The nigh...

New Family Pics

I don't have much to report. We had family pictures a few weeks ago. We met a woman who needed computer repair so we were able to trade the full cost of her skills with Scott's mad computer skills. What a blessing! I love how they turned out. I am so blessed to have such a great family. We are all doing well. Here is a brief update: *Scott is trying to survive the load at work. He has worked three unplanned overnighters in the last six weeks. He would work 18 hours after sleeping only 3, then head back to work the next morning. He is also swamped with his calling and being a wonderful husband and father. I am so grateful he is a hard worker with great integrity. *Bailey is doing well at school. We just love her teacher this year. She is doing great at math and enjoying piano. She is growing up so quickly it hurts sometimes. *Myles is having a hard time at school. Last week he spit at an aide and called her, "Stupid head!" If you know Myles, this is not like him at all...
