The Weekend

So we didn't have a very eventful weekend as usual. It mostly consisted of shopping for me and watching football for the boys! Saturday we did haircuts and went a little shorter than usual which is okay because it always grows back really fast. The boys had there primary program at church today. It was the first time for Landon. The boys did a good job! While we were doing haircuts I heard some noises over by the gate. I had to attach a picture of what the noises were. Our neighbors cute dog is always trying to figure out ways to get under the fence. I had to take a picture because it was so cute!

Saturdays in the Fall

Today Jalen had his second flag football game. We were so excited he scored a touchdown and of course I didn't have the camera with me this time! Go Jalen! The bad news for the day was Ohio State lost against USC bad! We will be in mourning tomorrow! We will have our OSU flag at half staff.

Jalen's First Football Game






Jalen had his first flag football game on Saturday. His first time playing was his first game because they didn't get a coach until last minute and so they weren't able to hold a practice before the game. He had a fun time and enjoyed playing. We are excited for his first season! Here is a video clip of our future Buckeye! He is wearing the red shorts. He got a flag towards the end of the clip! Way to stop them. Go Jalen!

Parents of the Year!

Well this morning Jalen said his tummy hurt and that he didn't want to go to school! He says that often and I always tell him he needs to go and that if his tummy keeps hurting he can tell his teacher. I always think he is just trying to get out of school. He kept laying around and saying he didn't want to go. Sean and I are saying you are going. I am saying if you don't go to school you can't play with friends or play video games or have movie and treat night. I never know when they are really sick and I hate it when my kids tell me they don't feel good to get out of church, school, etc. Well we got him ready and in the back of my head I am thinking about how a few days ago he came home from school and was saying this girl by him at lunch puked all over and he had to move his lunch so puke wouldn't get on it. He was telling me how it filled up all the squares on her lunch tray and on her cookie! Yuck! I was wondering why he brought his whole lunch home that day untouched. Anyways I am thinking that, but still making him go to school! Sean drops him off at school at 8. Then on my way to work at the daycare at about 8:05 I decided to stop by the school to make sure they have my cell phone number just in case since I wasn't going to be home. They did and so I was off to daycare. I go to daycare until about 10:40. When I was leaving I was going to run to the store. I checked my phone to make sure I didn't miss any calls and I noticed that I had no service and normally I always have service. So I turned it off and messed with it and then turned it back on. Then a minute later it beeped that I had a message. I listened to the message and it was the school calling to say Jalen had puked and was sick and they had him in the office. So I called the school to tell them I was on my way and to see how long he had been down there. The school started calling at 8:28! So they had been trying to call for 2 hours!! They called our house, my cell (that wasn't working and I didn't know) sean at work(he wasn't at his desk and missed the call) then they called my emergency contacts which are my sister and seans sister who are both at work! I seriously felt so horrible. I sent him in the first place and then they try to send him home and can't find anyone to come get him! The poor thing got sick, went to the office, then they couldn't get a hold of anyone and so they thought he was feeling a little better and they had him go back to class. Then he started to feel sick again and then went back to the office and they still can't get a hold of us. So when my sister and sister in law get off work and see they have messages from Jalens school I am sure they will be calling and I am so embarressed! Well he is home now and I am taking very good care of him because I feel so bad. So how am I going to know when he really doesn't feel good?? I am just glad he made it to the toilet so he didn't have to be "that kid". Aren't we totally the parents of the year??

Labor Day Weekend

My sister Bridget came to visit from Ohio over Labor Day weekend and my sister Keri came from Idaho. We had such a fun time. We celebrated Seans 30th birthday on Thursday night. We made him gray and red(scarlet) cupcakes in honor of Football season starting! GO BUCKS! And of course we had to get take out from Cafe Rio. The rest of the weekend we spent hanging out, playing games, and eating! Of course the girls went shopping on Saturday while the guys watched football. On Monday we took my sister Bridget to temple square and to see the Joseph Smith movie. She hadn't seen it yet and neither had Sean. I love that movie! We had a lot of fun and I was sad to see her go, but I know that she probably missed her kids (right?) and they were very excited for her to get home!

Here are my boys loving on Kaden. They love their baby cousin Kaden!

I can't believe my brother would pose like that when he knew I would totally put it on my blog! I think the doctor staightened out his nose well! And he was so worried about getting a Michael Jackson nose!

Me and my sisters! I had already changed into my p.j.s before the pics.

Landons First Day of Preschool

Today was Landons first day of preschool! He was very excited to go. He has been waiting for this day for a few weeks. All morning he kept asking is it time to go yet? Which I am so glad he was excited because when I first signed him up he was saying he didn't want to go. He is very shy and so I am wondering if he will talk to his teacher anytime soon! It was an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours running errands all alone! I think that I am going to love this! I hope he loves going to school. I tried to get some pictures of him. This was the best I could get him to cooperate! He is so goofy.
