Happy 4th of July 2011

For the 4th of July we had a lot of fun activites. We had a BBQ at Nana and Papa's house on Saturday and then Blakes first birthday on Sunday. Monday our little family went to the Sandy city parade. It was really fun. At the parade they had a huge fuel refiller plane fly really low to the ground. The kids loved it. They also loved picking up all the candy. London worried about all the loud fire and police stuff but Teagan was fine with them. Here are some fun pictures of the activites:

Waiting for the parade to start

London is wearing the becklaces grandma gave her. She wore them all weekend long.

At the parade. Teagan on daddys shoulder.

One of the fireworks that Papa set off had a ton of little parachutes in it. London loved playing with them.

So Patriotic waving their little flags.

Look how dang cute my babies are.

Fun Friday - Treehouse Mueseum

We had a blast at the Childrens Treehouse Mueseum. There are so many fun activities to do. We could have spent the entire day becuase of all the activities but the kids still got tired so we only stayed a few hours. Here are some of the fun things we did:

"Ride em cowboy!!"

Play picnic

London milking the cow. Real water squirts out. She had a blast.

Teagan loved to ride on all the hourses and bull.

Teagan went head over heels on this toy. It was so silly.

Painting with water and brushes. They loved this.

Hello dollies!

Even London liked the horses; i think because of Woody on Toy Story. She had to have the vest and hat on in order to get on the horse.

Grandpa and Teagan in the yurt in Morrocco.

Playing puppet show.

The things Teagan is shaking are eggs. He was putting the eggs in the basket, if they were real they would have broken for sure.

Teagan on the state of Utah

Playing house.

School time. London didnt like this very well. Jayden loved it. Hmmm i think London will not sit well in school.

Silly Teagan

I went in to get Teagan one morning and this is what i found:

Fathers Day 2011

We had a really great Fathers day this year. The kids and I gave Derek a bouquet of candy bars instead of flowers and a certificate for the sky diving thing in Ogden (you go in the tube of air and fly around). We thought he would enjoy that because he loves skydiving. We gave our dads a BBQ tool set. London liked the little brush.

Pictures of Londons brace on her arm

London was acting really funny one day at church so we went home. Even after we got home and she rested she was still hurting. We took her to the doctor and they said she has nursemaids elbow. It is where the tendon gets stretched off the bone and the only way to fix it is time. They put her in this sling but she only liked it at bed time. She hated having it on during the day.

London fun things she does...

Over the past couple weeks I have noticed some really cute things London has been doing. One night she decided that her pig was tired so she took him to her room and found a little blanket and put him to sleep.

Another hilarious thing that she started is that when she wakes up from nap or in the morning she will finally get herself out of her own bed. She used to sit in bed and say "Mommy". Now she will very quietly sneak out of bed and open her door really slowly and then peak out of the door. Then she will tip toe out of her room until she finds me or Derek and say "I woke up." It is so cute. She is so sweet.

Another thing that she does is she says that she is tired. When she does she will either go lay down on her bed for a minute or lay on the couch with a pillow and blanket.

She will also say "I no cry no more mommy." If she has been crying and wants to stop.

She always asks permission to do anything. She will ask if she can play with a toy or read a book. She has such manners. She also says "Thank You" and "Welcome" She says "Please" all the time and has taught her brother to say "Peese".

Grandma Taylor signed the other day when she was visiting and London lovingly looked at her and asked "You sick?" It was so cute. She was worried because grandma signed.

She loves to be mommy to Teagan. She will hug and kiss him every night before bed (even though Teagan hates it).

Here is a picture of when London put her doggy to bed with her becuase she was tired:

Eye Doctor 2012

Me and the kids go to the eye doctor every year. After they get their eyes dialated they went and played in the play room. London loved the rocking horse. My mom said she almost fell asleep sitting on it. We have to go every year because of the kids prematurity. They have to check to make sure everything is okay with their eyes.
