Itty Bitty Football

Landon played itty bitty football at the rec center. He had lots of fun. I think that he liked it better than when he played soccer. Here is just a little clip of him running the ball.

The Long Weekend

My boys have been out of school for a long weekend. They had fall break. So they were out Thursday, Friday, and Today. We did some fun things while they were out. Thursday we met my sister Emily and her baby Kaden for lunch. Then we planned to go to see the witches at Gardener Village afterwards. Well seems everyone was going to see them also. It was so busy we didn't think that we would even be able to get in and park let alone see any witches. So we decided to go to the park instead since it was really a nice day. Jalen was very sad. He really wanted to see the witches. I felt bad because we had been talking about it for days. After we went to the park we went for ice cream. Then after my sister and I split up and I was on my way back to Lehi I decided to drive back past Gardener Village to see if it had calmed down yet. It wasn't quite as busy and so I decided to take them to see the withches. Of course I had forgotten my camera and so I didn't get to take any pictures. The boys had fun though. They had a scavenger hunt of all the witches you had to find and so they liked finding the witches and checking it off the list. Then I let them take a pony ride while we were there.
Tonight for family night we made haunted houses. The boys loved it. They had a fun time decorating them.

Here they are just getting started.

SNOW

This is what we woke up to this morning. SNOW! I am not ready for this already. I was hoping to get past Halloween before the snow rolled in! My boys are sure excited though. They just wanted to get out and play in it.

Game Day!

Here are my boys in all their Buckeye gear! They like to show their team spirit! Jalen had a flag football game in the morning and it was so cold. I am just glad it wasn't windy. Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Tam came to see him play. It was his second game this week. He had one on Thursday night and it was very windy and cold. Aunt Emily came to see him play that night. He has had lots of supporters this week! Thanks everyone for coming to see J play. Landon is playing itty bitty football at the Legacy Center I will have to take my camera and get him in action. He is having fun!

Tag

I have been tagged by Suzette! Here it goes-

What's your husbands name? Sean

How long have you been married? A little over 8 years. We got married in 2000 and so it is easy for Sean to remember how long!

How long did you date? Well we went on our first date the end of January, got engaged in May, and got married end of July. So about 6 months and and 2 of them I was in Ohio and he was in Idaho.

How old is he? He just celebrated the big 3-0! He is feeling old!

Who eats more sweets? That would be me! Although I have really gotten him into my bad ways. I love my junk and candy!

Who said I love you first? Well Sean did and I wasn't quite ready yet and so I said thanks! He won't let me forget that one.

Who is taller? Um have you seen us? Sean by far! He is over a foot taller than me.

Who is the better singer? I love to sing and I don't know if Sean has ever sang loud enough for me to hear. So I don't know who is better.

Who is smarter? I would have to say Sean! We took the same class after we got married and we would study together and he did way better than me.

Who does the laundry? That would be me unless I am out of town and he has to do it so he has some clean underwear.

Who pays the bills? That would be Sean. Unless writing a check constitutes as paying the bills.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Sean

Who mows the lawn? Definately Sean. I tried it once. That sucked. I always tell him if I started doing it he would start expecting it. Can't have that!

Who cooks dinner? I do every now and then.

Who drives? Sean. I am a paranoid passenger. I am getting better and so is he!

Who is the first to say they are wrong? Sean. I have never been wrong before. (anyone believe it?)

Who kissed who first? Sean

Who asked who out first? Sean We went to the movies. He looked the times up online and they must have been wrong because we got there really early and went in and saw the end of the movie in the first row. Thats okay we watched the rest of it and since we were so early we got the best seats for the first half. I actually noticed the times were different when we got there but I didn't say anything.

Who wears the pants? Good question. I am not sure either way. I am sure Sean would say me.

TO GO OR NOT TO GO???

One of the hardest things for me as parent is trying to decide when to take my kids to the doctor. Sometimes I feel like I am crazy! Sometimes I have taken them to the doctor and thought I don't know if they really even need to go and it will be something like strep or pneumonia. Other times I am sure they have an ear infection or something serious and then it is just a cold and nothing can be done about it. So Jalen has this rash on his back and chest and up his neck. He also had big water blisters on the tips of all his fingers that broke open and he peeled them off. Well I look on the internet and try to diagnose it myself and see if he needs to go to the doctor. Some of our neighbor kids that he plays with have had strep lately and so I was trying to figure out if it was the rash you get from strep. Anyways I decided to go ahead and take him to the doctor. Well he actually sees a nurse practioner which Sean gives me a hard time about. He thinks they need to see the doctor. So the nurse said that he had this reaction or rash and that it is most likely viral. It will clear up in several weeks and they don't do anything about it. He didn't think the blisters had anything to do with it. I still think the whole blister thing is weird! His condition if that is what you would call it even had a name! pitysoriasis rosea. what is that? I think it is all made up. They give it a name so moms like me don't feel stupid that they took there child to the doctor for it. Am I that crazy mom that takes their child to the doctor when they sneeze? I know a few that we have dealt with at the daycare that are actually crazier than me! I guess I am not completely convinced with the "diagnosis" but I will just see how it goes!
