Tylenol anyone????

Our weekend was adventurous to say the least. My Mom, Dad, Bubba, Heather and the kids came to spend the weekend with us. Well on Saturday night Ky, my little mischievous one, and Holly some how got and OPENED( thanks to KY) a bottle of children's Tylenol. We walked in to find them munching away on them. We asked how many they ate and got different answers every time! What did we expect from a 2 and 3 year old! So off to the ER we went. That was an a treat. Imagine 3 adults trying to entertain a 2 and 3 year old in a little ER room at bedtime. I know your thinking fun right! They actually did pretty good, even when they had to get their blood drawn! Not sure if it was just because he was tired but Ky did remarkably well. Holly was a little more tough and boy is she strong! Poor Holly had to get poked more than once to get her blood. After they had their blood drawn we waited for the results and they finally fell asleep. The results were good, their levels were not toxic so how ever many they ate was within their recommended dose! Yeah! We get to go home! Best news all night! I think that was the most expensive dose of Tylenol Ky has ever had!! Let's just hope this is the first and last time he decided to eat drugs!

Rain Puddles

Boys are just a magnet for water in any shape or form. It stopped raining long enough today for Ky to enjoy the puddles!So cute!
All wet and ready to go in!

Lila Rae

This weekend was the first time we got to meet little Miss Lila Rae! She is so sweet and such a happy smiling baby. Oh I just love her!
Dawson and Lila
This is one of the only pics I took over the weekend. Sad I know. It was a busy weekend of football game, hikes, craft fair, conference, games, lots of yummy food and of course, what would a family weekend be without a visit to the ER. Which will be a whole other post! It was a great weekend! I have a lot of work to do after listening to conference, but feel positive and encouraged!

Hey Crowd!

Friday was the Canyon View game that the kids who do the clinic get to cheer at. Addy loves this and has done it every year since we have lived in Cedar. It is so fun to watch the girls of all ages. This year was even better because Nana, Papa, Bubba and Heather were here to come and watch. Grandma and Grandpa missed it because they were in Sweden picking up Aunt Nanny! Yeah! Here are some highlights......

It was a great night with the best football weather! It was fun to have the family there as well.

Dawson's 6! May the force be with us!!!

Dawson is now 6! (I am a little late in posting this-his birthday was on the 8th.oops!)
I can hardly believe it. It is even more amazing we have survived and when I say we, I mean me and Dawson. I would have bet my life that we would have been to the ER more than just once for stitches. How has that happened?!?
I love everything about my Daws meister! He can make me smile and laugh faster than about anyone else. He also has more energy and zest for life than anyone else I know! He loves learning (hence all his inquisitive questions), reading, playing outside, sports of every kind, playing with friends, likes to play board games and the wii. He is competitive yet when it comes to board games he is not as competitive as his sister. But everything else in life is a race! He loves to sing and knows about all the lyrics to whatever comes on the radio-ya scary sometimes I know! He still loves to cuddle and I hope that never changes, he still likes his back scratched at night and is a great brother!
Here is his breakfast in bed-pancakes and eggs with OJ


Digging in!
His new bike! He had specific things his new bike had to have. A kick stand being #1 on the list! He was so excited he could hardly stand it! I love it!


That Saturday we celebrated his birthday!He chose a Star Wars theme! To say he loves Star Wars is an understatement! He wanted a water party in our backyard and luckily the weather cooperated with us! It was a lot of fun!

The gang, Addy, Trey, Bubba, Dawson, Easton, Cole and Cade. Xander came too just after the picture. A few couldn't come, Hunter was sick, Cade A and Hutson were out of town.

Addy invited a friend, Jaqueline
Water balloon FIGHT!!!

His loot
His cake-the best part for him was that the lightsabers glow!



Happy Birthday Dawson! Can't wait to see what the next year brings! Love ya buddy!

Fun bigger than Texas!

While Aunt Fefe and the girls were visiting from Texas we had us some fun! Here is just what we got pics of.

We played in baskets.......
Played some dress up!!!

We went to Cedar breaks and spent the day at Brianhead
And of course, had some cousin pics!

Ahh so cute! I love these cute gals! It was so great having Stephanie here. I wish we could do it more often. I already miss them!

Big Kindergartner

It is hard for me to believe that Dawson is in Kindergarten. In some ways it seems like this day was never going to come and yet I still feel as if he is my little boy! He has been counting down the days since the beginning of August! I 'm not sure I have ever seen anyone so excited. I love that about him! He is a joy to have around and makes me laugh DAILY! He actually slept in today-woke up at 7:15, came in to my room and asked,(in a whisper if you can believe it)"Mom is it time for me to get in the shower for school?" Not only did I get to sleep in but I woke up with a smile on my face! First we had breakfast-waffles, surprise surprise! Then it was shower time, getting ready and of course picture time!!!!!



Showing off his Transformer backpackDawson and Addy, my school kiddos! She has been so excited for him.
Outside of Fiddlers
Dawson saw a friend-Hunter- on the way in! Nothing like a good buddy by your side on the 1st day!!!
Right outside his classroom! I think he is over the whole picture thing by now. I guess it is a no go for a picture with his teacher.

Hard at work!
So when I asked Dawson about his first day he said, "we had recess and ate grapes. Oh and I had to color the color of my skin." I prodded him a little more to which I got, "that's all" or an "I don't remember". So there ya have it, the highlights of a day in Kindergarten!
