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.

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

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

Rough Day

Yesterday was a really rough day. Both of my boys get bronchiolitis when they get any kind of congestion; basically they wheeze and we use breathing treatments every four hours for a week until they get better. Their breathing isn't too labored, but they don't sound very good. Landon has been wheezing since Sunday so I took him in to the Dr. yesterday. The nurse practitioner checked his oxygen level and it was 99% so he was getting oxygen despite the wheezing. I assumed she would tell me to continue the breathing treatments at home every four hours for the next week. This is the same procedure with each boy every time either one gets a cold and it goes straight to his lungs. I was very surprised when she told me I needed to take Landon to the E.R. immediately. I asked a lot of questions, mainly, “Why am I taking him to the E.R.? Is it really that serious? What am I supposed to say when they ask why I am there? Are you sure I need to go to the E.R.” She told me that he needed t

Mother's Day

My day began and ended with me facing a sink full of dishes. Because it was a Sunday my kids were crazy and Scott had meetings. I was stressed about my new calling and sustaining as Ward Activities Chair. Why should today be any different, though? Motherhood rarely pauses and that is okay. Before I know it I'll have all the breaks I want and I'll miss my little crazies. Scott and I make sure to do a weekly date and that is a great break. When Myles is at preschool and Landon naps that is a rare break. When all the kids are in bed and I'm sitting with Scott watching and laughing at my favorite show, that is a much-needed break. I love my family and I loved today. I am learning to find joy in the simplest things. Tonight we had family wrestle and hearing my kids laugh and giggle was a reward. Having my kids sing to me in Sacrament meeting was the best present. Without the Lord I wouldn't have all these wonderful treasures and I am truly blessed. Sometimes I feel like I am
