Memorial Day 2011

Well for Memorial Day we (me and the kids) stayed home in our PJ's. London has an ear infection, I have a head cold and Teagan has a fever. Fun weekend i know!! I wish this weather would turn around so we didnt keep getting sick.

Saturday May 28th 2011

Today me and the kids headed up to Roy for some family fun. When we got to Roy I colored Heather's hair. We added hot pink and it looks so cute. I then cut all the kids hair. After that we just hung out and talked as a family. Once Derek got there (around 5:00) we sat down to eat our yummy belated Easter feast. Yummy ham, funeral potatoes, deviled eggs, the whole nine yards. We then celebrated Sampson, Sasha, Dad's and Derek's belated and early birthdays. The kids had a blast opening presents. London and Teagan took all the wrapping paper and ripped them into little peices. We decided we are buying them wrapping paper for their birthdays. After presents we ate cake. I made Dad a Ham Radio cake becuase he loves doing ham radio stuff. When 8:00 rolled around we decided to go home so the kids could get a good night sleep. We also wanted to make sure that we got home before the storm got to bad. It was raining cats and dogs when we got to Sandy. We put the kids to sleep and Derek and I sat down to relax and watch Glee.

Day out with Thomas

On Friday May 27th we decided to do The Day Out with Thomas train ride in Heber Valley. When we woke up Friday morning London wasnt feeling good. Her ear hurt so she was cranky but because we already bought the tickets we decided to drive up to Heber anyways. When we got up there we met my parents. We got in to the area and played their little games. London loved the mini golf they had. She hit the ball into the hole, once in a while she couldnt get the club to hit the ball because the club was bigger then she was. Then we got fake tattoos. London got Thomas the Train on her hand, Teagan got a green train on his arm, and I got a purple train on my hand. Then we got some balloon animals made. When the man was making London a butterfly the balloon pooped and scared the crap out of her. She didnt want anything to do with the balloons after that. Teagan had a monkey made for him. He loved it. He destroyed it by the time we got in the car to go home. We got on the train and went for a 25 mins ride. It was fun. You get to look at the houses and the animals in the area. But it was long enough for the kids. They didnt want to sit much longer. We got our picture taken with Thomas and headed for lunch. The kids couldnt last much longer. We went to Dairy Keen for lunch. It was way yummy. Teagan ate really good and London hardly touched her food and fell asleep on grandmas arm. She was exhausted. After lunch we headed home to get the kids to sleep. It was a really fun morning and we are for sure doing it in years to come.

Here are the kids in the train conductor hats they got at the Dairy Keen:

Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

I went up to my mom and dad's to do their hair. I went when the kids woke up so that they would have time to play. They have so much fun at my parents house. London clings to grandma and Teagan clings to grandpa. It is soooo cute.

May 17th, 2011

Today was an interesting day to say the least. Work terrible. Went home halfway through the day. terrible. I felt sick all night after having SUPER stress and a migraine. When I got home me and Derek watched "The Human Centipede". It was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It was one of those where you say "HELLO! Dont be so stupid people!" Then to top it off the ending was terrible, it left it open for a sequel. After that was over we just hung out with the kids watching the rain. I was feeling so sick I ended up laying on the couch watching "The cuious case of Benjamin Button" That was a super good movie. I was glued to the TV. After that was over I went into Londons room and saw Teagan all tied up in the princess chair. I love my kids.

Cuddle Time

After Teagan went to sleep Derek layed on the floor and London cuddled with him. I covered them with her blankie and she layed there with him for about 5 mins. It was so precious.

London my love

Derek brought home a reuseable bag from work and London was so excited. She filled it with toys and then put it on her arm like a purse and dragged it all over the house.

London and her pot belly. This is the only time that will happen because she is so little and skinny.

(Yes she looks like a wreck but if you want that story you have to ask me personally, just guess if you want, it was a Tuesday night)

Brother and Sister...yes they love each other I promise

Teagan my little man

Teagan was downstairs with Derek and found a headband that i have that i need to fix. He decided to put it on and walk around the house. What a funny boy.

Here is little Teagan super tired because he is teething really bad. He is finally getting in the last of his teeth but it is killing him. He just layed on the couch and in my arms for a 2 days straight.

Buddies

Grandpa Taylor and Teagan are best buddies

Stroller fun

London and Teagan both love to push the stroller around. London loves to fill it with random toys and push it all over. Teagan doesnt care if anything is in it he just likes to push it.

Adorable kids

Yes I am biased but my kids are the cutest kids ever!

BIG BEAR

We decided to buy London and Teagan a BIG BEAR. The bear is basically the size of me. It is so BIG!!!!!

Summersaults

Derek decided one night that he wanted to teach the kids how to do summersaults. It was so cute. London caught on really quick. She learned fast that you have to tuck in your neck to get around good. Teagan could not grasp that concept yet. But he is trying :)

Relay races

So my mom watched the kids one day while we were at work. When i went to pick up the kids I decided to stay at my moms for dinner and to play with Jayden for a little while. We decided that after dinner we would go outside and look for Easter eggs (they loved it so much at easter), then after the easter egg hunt we decided to do realy races across the yard with the kids. I only had high heels so I put on my moms gardening shoes and did not tie them because i did not think i would run very fast. I thought it would just be fun. Well needless to say i decided i would run with all my might to try to beat Heather and Eric. Halfway through i went head over heels and ended up laying on the grass on my back. I was laughing because i felt so stupid but it also hurt really bad. London ran over to me and kept saying "mommy okay?" she was so concerned it was so cute. I ended up with a huge bruise and a hurt knee. I am way to old to do that kind of stuff.

Backyard fun

London and Teagan love to play with each other. They are best of friends and worst of enemies. When they are playing together it is the cutest thing. It touches my heart to see my little angels being so cute with each other. Here are some pictures of London and Teagan playing with the play food outside:

Notice how she opens her mouth when she wants him to take a bite? Just like a little mommy.

Dereks 31st Birthday

I wanted to do a movie theme birthday for Derek, so i decided that i would buy him one DVD for every year he has been alive (31 DVD's). I stole his list of DVD's that he wants and ordered them 2 months in advance. Thanks to my mom for storing them at her house and helping me wrap them. She is so amazing. I also decided to make him a popcorn cake. It was a lot of fun. I love making cakes.
