The Park

We bribed the kids on Saturday and told them we could go to the park if they did all their chores and helped around the house. We saw some friends while we were there and Deryk had a fun time with their little car. He pushed Benson around in it for a while. The other picture is so funny because it shows a typical moment in our family. Deryk loves to pull Maycee's hair for some reason. Maybe its because she likes to stick her face right up close to his and bother him?

Draper Temple

We drove to my sister's in Sandy last Friday to see my niece, Katelin, dance in her senior dance concert. She did so great! What an exciting time for her. This was the day before the last day of the Draper Temple open house, so we went to see the temple. It is very beatiful! Josh had to work, so I just took the girls and my nieces, Kennedi and Collette, to the temple. Deryk got to stay at Monica's so people didn't have to hear him yell throughout the temple. :) We had to drive home after the concert that night because Shaylee had her piano festival on Saturday morning. Thankfully my mom was with me to keep me awake. She's really good at that. We got home at 1:30 a.m. and she had to be there at 10:00. Shaylee did so great! She got a superior and was so relieved to have it all done!

Is it Spring yet?

It was about 45 degrees a couple of weeks ago and the sun was shining, so it seemed like the perfect time to let the kids go out and play for a while. I was so excited to do the dishes and clean up the kitchen while they were out playing. I asked Shaylee to try to keep Deryk out of the garden area because it looked really muddy. Well, it lasted not even 10 minutes when I heard screaming. I looked outside and Deryk was stuck in the mud, facedown, and couldn't move. Shaylee was trying her hardest to get him out and Maycee was jumping on the trampoline as if nothing were going on. I got him out of the mud and stripped him down outside. He was not a happy little guy and he was freezing! We are ready for warm weather!
