fun weekend

We're back from our weekend in price. we had a ton of fun and it was so great to see daniel again. he hasn't changed that much just a little taller and older. the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. They jumped on the trampoline until they could barely move. they had a ton of fun chasing the cats and playing with the big dump trucks. A balloon and sticky balls kept trey elle codi and zack well entertained and we were all entertained by them. We spent some time down at the dino park. zack, trey and elle would do trains down the slides with their aunt paula and uncle brandon. we even spent some time in the garden. trey and elle thought it was so much fun to pick carrots wash them off with the hose and eat them. they were such big helpers picking carrots potatoes, beans, and tomatoes with grandma and grandpa. my parents had about 4 pumpkins and my mom told trey that he could have one so yesterday that's all he could think about was picking his pumpkin. So before we left my dad took him out back and they picked a pumpkin. on the way home he held it on his lap until he fell asleep and then i moved it. But once he woke up he picked it back up and held it until we got home. It was great to see my grandparents and my aunts and uncles. I can't believe how grown up all my little cousins have gotten. What a great weekend we had. Thanks mom and dad for everything! we love you guys!

Price, here we come

We are heading up to Price this weekend for the first time in well lets just say it's been awhile. Daniel my brother is coming home in 2 days from his mission i can't believe how fast time flies. When he left Elle was only a month old and trey was 15 months now they are 2 and 3 this is before he left and this is what the kids look like now. what a difference 2 years makes.
we're excited to visit price and spend some time with my whole family (with the exception of my sister Raquel, She's on a mission in Rio De Janeiro) We don't get up there too often, and it's even harder to get us all together seeing how there are 9 kids in my fam. we sure do have lots of fun when we are all together. a couple of visits ago we went to the park by the wave pool and played in a huge pile of leaves what a blast that was!!!
Here's to a weekend full of kicks and giggles!!

I'm a little late but we just wanted to tell both of our mom's happy birthday this week!!!! mom g's b-day was on the 9th and mom w's was yesterday on the 11th.

As a side note, my brother daniel comes home from his mission next friday the 19th! we are so excited to see him!!

a day with daddy

cale and the kids went to the swimming pool and had a blast playing the other day. trey was being splashed by cale and elle was having a ball. my kids are total fish and love to go swimming whenever possible. trey had gone swimming the day before with his preschool class. so he was itching to get back and play some more. it's always nice to have a play date with daddy.

it's raining...

it's raining it's pouring and the kids are playing until........

the thunder hits! Good thing grandma and grandpa whitney were here to save them.

splash pad

tonight i met up with cale and the kids for dinner before cale went out golfing with the league. the kids and i went back to my work and after about an hour of work for me and i'm sure pure boringness for them, i decided to let them go play out on the splash pad for awhile. Of course they didn't have their swim suits so i let them go in their clothes and boy did they have a blast!! we were there for over an hour. my guards when they were on break would come out and play with them and they thought that was so cool.

1st day of preschool

Trey had his 1st day of preschool on thursday. He was upset when we first got there and wouldn't let me leave. But then he got to playing with some blocks with a few other kids and i was able to sneak out. It was interesting how all of the girls sat right down and started to color and all of the boys were having a hard time letting mommy or daddy leave. I got to see him when his class was coming out of the bathrooms. Of course i hid kind of in a doorway so he couldn't see me. He looked like he was doing really well. I can't imagine taking 15 kids to the bathroom at the same time. Some one mentioned that they had been in there for a 1/2 hour. They got to play with food coloring and go into the gym. When i went to go pick him up he was very quiet and didn't say anything. We thought that it was odd that he wasn't his usual self. Cale brought lunch and we all ate together and then they all went home while i finished working. Awhile later I got a phone call from cale. Trey had a fever and could barely talk. No wonder my little boy wasn't his usual self he was sick!! So his 1st day in my opinion went as well as it could have considering he is sick. Hopefully it will be better on tuesday!
